Leave Fudmottin Alone!!!!!!
First of all I want to thank you all for the generous outpouring of enthusiastic support you gave my recent bulletin outlining ways to streamline your Live Video experience to enjoy the wonderful aspects of this unique video community and minimize the influence of the less savory aspects of this website, most notably, the "haters" and the "gangs" who have actually caused many good members to leave this community in disgust. Your PM's about how you were applying the techniques in the bulletin to your own channel were confirmation to me that you don't want to become another unfortunate statistic of the "lesser angels of human nature". Further validation of the bulletin came, ironically enough, from the indirect public excoriation of the bulletin from known supporters of the core group of haters who have used public mudslinging against other users to achieve their questionable celebrity status on LiveVideo. Thanks to all those who have reposted this bulletin to benefit those on your own friends lists.
This bulletin came about as a response to a new user for whom the squabbles and the mudslinging splattered all over the bulletins confused her. The initial bottom line question was "Aren't the bulletins supposed to be used for news and promoting videos? I'm confused...."
Technically, yes, that's how the bulletins are supposed to be used. But a lot of the time the bulletins get ABused, especially by some of the "gangs" at LiveVideo.
The real solution to the abuse of the bulletin boards is to unfriend those users who clutter up the boards with their petty squabbles. You can only see bulletins by people on your friends list.
You also have to be very vigilant about whom you add to your friends, or let add you to theirs. Check out their channel thoroughly. Look at their "Voted Videos" and "Favorite Videos" to see what they support. Look at the videos they channel to their "Our Videos" section, and look carefully at their crew. These will all give you clues as to whether the user is a serious earnest LV user, or one of the troublemakers. If you don't feel right about friending someone, then you are under NO obligation to do so.
You can still subscribe to one another if you wish to view each other's videos, but subscriptions do not show up on the bulletins. However, any negative video content they produce--and the gangs produce a LOT of them!--will show up on your "Subscription Videos" roster, so use extreme more... prejudice and more... more... more... discretion in your subscription choices as well.
Blocking is regarded as somewhat extreme by some LiveVideo users. Some even regard it as some kind of "attack" and will bawl very loudly about it! But I recommend using it as a PREEMPTIVE measure and an extra buffer against the aggression pollution perpetrated by the Gangs that infest LiveVideo and SticKam (Especially since these attention-craving parasites will never do you the courtesy of blocking YOU from consuming their electronic excrement. They hungrily crave your attention and support of bad behavior) The people on your Blocked List can always log out of their LV account and then surf to your channel and view your content, but they cannot contact you here.
You WILL get accused of unfriending and blocking "with no reason", if you do this as I recommend without fanfare nor apology. The fact is, the haters won't want to hear your reasons anyway, except as an ammunition with which to retaliate, and thus "save face". You will actually be doing the haters a valuable service by forcing them to look within to see what would cause a good person to exile them, and thus see within their hearts and behavior patterns the provocations for their own exile.
Think of these practices as a NIELSEN RATING! If you were a company that had to pay for ad space on these channels and their videos, would you support their content, or would you wisely fear economic boycott of your products/services for your
