Is there any rules or general discouragment of thread jacking here? I've noticed in a few threads where for example person A asks a question, Person B will comment and say Person C takes offense at that comment or doesnt like the reply. It then then proceeds into Persons B and C bickering back and forth in the thread thus taking emphasis away from the original question.

welcome to vj unfortunately happens to often lately

It happens every day. If things get out of control then use the report button.

But it shouldn't be allowed to get that bad. Distracts away from the main issue at hand.

and how would u control something that you dont know until after its posted and read, best to report the people doing it

Make sure they know thread jacking will not be tolerated, so they won't do it? Works well on my OH's forum.

I agree that hijacking should be contained as much as possible in the immigration forums.

In OT, however, it is encouraged!!
brnidokiegurl

yes that is another thing OT is a catch all expect anything in there, if u have a very serious question or problem in immigration go to your forum that would best fit the need and im sure those that can help will, now even there is possibility of people not agreeing but you will get many variations of answers thta might help, some just stay in their particular forum and never read OT
Nagishkaw
brnidokiegurl, you are Thread Jacking, and Im reporting this!
YuAndDan
The moderators cant watch them all, but for the most part if a simple question gets a high reply count, then this attracts the attention of a Mod, and they can and do put a stop to it, and can and do suspend the offenders either for a few days or permanently.

It's hard to move on when it's your own question being thread jacked!

I did post in the forum relevent to my question, this it has nothing to do with OT as I understand it'll probably go on in there.

Let a mod know about it. PM them with the link. They'll check it out and take action if necessary.

Exactly, and this is also what the Report button located at the lower left of each post in the tread will do.

Actually, the report button only sends a complaint to Ewok. Ergo, it may be days before anything is done if you use the Report button. Or, if you're the sort who pushes that button all the time, it would probably just be ignored. Can't say that I'd blame him. Think about how many times per day that button gets pushed. They ALL go to one guy. Would YOU be able to work, have a family life, AND deal with 847 reports each day?

Hell with the button..... PM a mod.

Incorrect. no0pb.gif

Report button = Ewok
PM function = Mod

Welcome to VJ. We do have some spirited folks here. It's almost like going through a culture shock because peoples POVs are soooo varied. Thus, there are spirited debates/arguments every day.
