English Sabla isn't the place it was anymore. Members who were interesting stopped posting here. so will I, because it's really becoming very stupid. NaBHan, you failed, and is one of the reasons that this place is starting to suck.

Don't bother replying to this thread, I won't read it.

If you think it's cool to insult people then I'm sorry but most of us don't feel that way. If being fair and being concerned about the other members you attack and insult is failing then so be it. I have nothing against you ti3gib and I enjoy your contribution (duh , I'm the one who invited you to this forum) but you tend to be a little nasty when you start throwing insults and attacks to the non-muslims or people you don't agree with and I am sorry but thats not very mature of you. If you want to be one of the members who make enimies out of the people who disagree with you then that's your choice in the end and I am sorry that you couldn't just be the excellent member I know you can be.

The member was decorated with 2 awards and 2 warning.
Surprising.

Things change ti3... and so far, from what I've seen it has changed to the better, things are quieting down and members are beginning to discuss topics in a more mature way. Are you upset those changes occurred?
Yet I believe whatever it is, it's not fair to go pointing fingers at one mod and claim that he failed. Failed in what? Encouraging this forum to be free for fights, insults and racism?... I agree with you then, he failed in that... and succeeded in making it a better place for duscussions. So if anything you should be thankful to Nabs and the rest of the mods instead of trying to let them down.

Encouraging this forum to be free for fights, insults and racism?
Well said.
But what is happening?
These relative terms differ from society to society, nation to nation, country to country.
So, better to keep patience and some time to ignore.
Don’t get cruel to participants rather help them to understand.

I agree, the forum is different that it used to be. Worse? Nah, but its a little less to my tastes...but thats completely normal, it happens with all forums. It seems the mean age has fallen, and so the type of topics differs. Theres still good stuff though so I stick around.

Leave the guy alone, he said don't bother replying, so there is no logic in posting since he won't reply any of you

Sabla is a rollercoaster and that is part of its charm....we can jump in and out of the wagon and enjoy the ride when it suits us. The place is opened 24 hours a day, free and usually welcomes anyone back to the ride without discrimination :).

He is po'd with Nabhan, because Nabs did the right thing and issued a warning for this comment he made about me in a photography thread, where I posted some of my pictures :

"Go mate with one of your fathers and shut up already ..."

Nabhan did the right thing.

Don't let the door slam you on the way out T3.

wudjab: It was never an issue if Nabhan did the right thing or not. If a warning was issued then it is totally deserved, the team prefers not to issue them, but when its required we do.

ti3gib: Perhaps you mean that Sabla isnt much tolerant and patient alot anymore with your continues unacceptable attitude when you start swearing all around.

* Even if you have a fast car, it doesnt mean you have to speed and break the law or drive recklessly and endanger others*

Thats the problem of the members that They think Nabhans do and deside everything :) then blame nabhan for everything!

the Warning was issued as per an Agreement among the team ...

I really hate it when people start threads saying that they're going to leave a certain forum. If you want to leave, just go and don't come back. It sounds really silly when you write a 'I hate this website I'm not coming back' thread and then come post after two days as if nothing happened when you realise you're so bored you had to visit Sabla.

Yeah I use to do that a lot......there are some benefits......like tons of PM's from girls begging you have their babies and stuff like that.....

But actually, one time I had just come back from the sake bar, and read something.............I think it was Ice Tea was named Mr. Sabla.2003 04......got really pissed and quit the sabla.......the next day I couldn't quite remember the details.......or why I was getting all the attention.

Sometimes it's a cry for attention......so what's wrong with that?
People want to feel they are missed and needed even on this forum.

BTW......I am quiting the sabla for good.......

i agree with ti3gib

It's your right...........so be it.

I personally will go on record.......look at it this way........

I don't know Nabhan personally, never met him.......don't really know what makes him tick, other then he's a very talented artist......studies in Jordan......is a muslim......devotes his time......outside of his studies to do something on his own time to make a contribution to an Omani forum........he has been given the never ending job of trying to balance the incoming posts from members with so many different agendas......

I think any attack on him personally is way out of order.......

It's not like he's is picking on any one member......in fact there were many times in the "old days"..........when members would insult each other quite often........

Muslims would say this and non muslims would say that......I guess the moderators were more like referees at a open air fist fight match....

But in all honesty........I don't think Non muslim members attacked Omani things......

However there is a home turf advanage for most muslim members.....cause who cares what non muslims say?

In any case......Nabhan is a credit to the English sabla for just trying to be fair to all members......not deteremining their muslim of non muslim status......

The offended party is muslim.......who insulted a non muslim member.....

Take your warning......and get in gear......

PS.......it's amazing I haven't been booted outa here long ago, which says volumes for how tolerant this forum moderators are........

Nabhan is just representing the mod. team.

When I mention his name, it is because he issued the warning in the name of the team and T3 reacted to that with an attack on Nabhan.

And, Nabhan did the right thing, which was to carry out the decision of the team.

Members who were interesting stopped posting here. so will I, because it's really becoming very stupid.ti3gib, in a public forum, people come and people go. It is an open traffic to different minds, different age groups, different interests and the fluctuation between these differences is bond to make some waves.

If the Sabla is not what it was 6 month ago or 2 years back, it is quite normal as the flow and type of members vary as time passes. What we have today will be different tomorrow. The atmosphere and the topics might go down, stay stable or improve. You just have to temporary take few steps back when the Sabla wavev are not to your liking or simply take the plunge when the water temperature is right for you. Simple as that :).

As ti3gib won't care read/ reply, or he might read and won't bother to reply..

I guess it's a good thread to make all members know that the sabla team isn't taking any member side either musilm or non muslim and the wohle team is trying to make this place perfect for all.

Sir Blue Chi,
Proverbs goes like this, when your heart is down, don’t draw any conclusion.
Anger is also emotion.
I am member of not less than thirty forums.
English Sabla is more addictive.
With due respect to your judgment, may I say,
Is this fair to be rude in such a way?
Thank you.

All I want to say is that it's normal that I'm the one who's going to take most of the slaps since I'm the face you always see around.. so it's okay and I can take it as long as the majority actually know that it isn't me alone who's working around here and making the decisions.

Thanks to those of you who stood up for me.

Nabhan, i hope you dont have high blood pressure (god forbids)

a disscusion board can not be the same from the first day it starts to date, many members would come and go, many ideas will flow, many arguments and disagreement will happen... many friendship will happen... and enemies in that case...

its is all up to the members to pick what to read what to take into heart and what to ignor...

in a related topic... the English Sabla for the first time reached 2529642 hits in May... which is the highest so for...
