Caution !!  You are entering a no - troll zone community forum

Rest assured that our site: foreign-nurse.lefora.com is a no-troll zone.  Unlike other communities and forums out there all types of internet trolls are not tolerated here.  Spammers and internet stalkers will also not be tolerated here.  Not only will we not feed the trolls, we will try to nip it at the bud as soon as it can be recognized even before they become full-blown internet trolls and stalkers.  So, all current members and future members of our community forum can be rest assured that you can post and interact with each other with confidence while in the community forum.  We will make sure that we stay true with the purpose and mission of our site:  to support each other.

It is very unfortunate and disappointing that admins of some larger forums not only do tolerate this kind of behavior but even share in feeding these trolls.  There is no purpose in that, at least in my humble opinion.  Unless, of course, they like the sudden surge in internet traffic that it usually gives but just like other upper substances, once everything settles down things go crashing down.

Please enjoy the site and being a member here.

I just read some articles about trolling and all.. I never thought people can really be that insane..It's quite disturbing actually..Creating chaos and finding joy in disrupting another’s emotional equilibrium..Is there more to life for them??? I wonder if they still feel just the slightest degree of guilt when they cause someone to commit suicide...

I guess some people find joy in it.  Frown

Some are even paid to troll successful forums. 

Anyway, I think what is more worst is if moderators and admins tolerate such things or don't even have a clue. 

This kind of reminds me of the cyber-bully mom that bullied her daughter's friend and the one she was cyber bullying committed suicide. This is a celebrated case w/c was featured in mass media in the US.  The mother pretended to be a male of same age group and intentionally befriended her and if I get it right the whole idea was to intentionally be nice and so on and so forth and then intentionally break up with her (still in cyberspace) in the most worst way possible. 

She was caught, of course, and I think recently sentenced.

Yeah,i think it was also mentioned in an article in one of the links you posted. Sounds pathetic,really...

About moderators tolerating the trolls,I think its because they share the same views and opinions. In other sites, the trolls just keep on coming back and no one seems to do anything about it..I guess that these mods and admins haven't yet realized the damages a troll can cause to the name and integrity of their site..

I really do not understand this kind of business. People getting some "pseudo power" because they piss and hurt people? Really disturbing.. Makes me wonder whatever happened to them in the past..

Hello Bittersweet123.

Infairness to the site that you are referring to, there are still some GOOD moderators and Admins on that corner. I've known a few and I'm sure our very own founder knows some of them too. The thing is much recently, it has been the trend of that site to let the members excercise the full freedom to voice out their points of view eventhough their messages are obviously striking below the belt to immigrant aspirants like us. Sad part is, some moderators/staff allows and tolerate such kind of behavior or even join the trolls without taking into consideration their TOS(Terms of Service). Reality says, moderators are none but humans too, and that some of them are partial and even culturally insensitive.

Much of the old members and even some moderators are getting dismayed with the way it is now that they tend to move away and look for some new and homey forum like foreign-nurse.lefora.com.

Just a piece of advice, it will make a lot better if you minimize visiting the site that I am refering to. Going to that forum will just make you mad. Life is wonderful, we don't deserve to read posts that are annoying and foul. Just not worthwhile.

Let's feel at home. In here, and right here.

God Bless

Hi nurseidol,

Yes,i was actually just referring to a couple of mods. In fairness,the admins were helpful and attentive .It's just that lately,the posts of these "special" members just taint the integrity of their site..

Yes,I am staying away from that site.I promised myself to do that...It's just that someone pm'ed me there and so I have to log in and see what her message was all about..And as expected,it was a message of disgust about those posts..Like I told you before,it's not a good thing to surround ourselves with negative entities!So here I am in MY NEW HOME .. =)
