   Tanmoy Acharyaposted 12 years ago

   An idea that may convert Forums on HubPages as an intellectual powerhouse of the internet, and make it faker-free.

      The Forums on HubPages in a wonderful platform. I have myself created one on the topic which investigated on the
      
      Usefulness of Art, a fews days ago. The link :  http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/85248#post1831394  .It was a dilightful experience for me. There are brilliant minds on this website, and they  come from all over the world. This platform has great possibilities for intellectual expression. And if what I have in mind becomes a reality, then it may make HubPages one of the top websites on the Internet.
      
      There are fakers who use that flatform. I have a solution to deal with them.
      
      The principle: if someone wants to discuss with you, then he will talk with you. He will try to understand what you are
      
      saying, and will make proper replies, and you will write back what you think. If ever, you have the intuition that his motive
      
      is to sunconsciously injure you, then ask him this question:   ARE YOU REAL?
      
      If he is real, then you will clearly realize that from his response, which will be surprise, or a little anger. But if he is a faker, then he will increase his subconscious assults. In some cases, he will just vanish, and never show you his face.
      
      I actually want a new-feature, similar to that what happens with 'Questions' on HubPages, which is, if an answer gets
      
      enough 'dislikes', then it will become hidden. If enough people vote that a forum-comment is coming from a trickster, then
      
      it will vanish, and let us talk without abuse.
      
      Evolution Guy and his generator will never return. But that person has many more accounts on this website: I have
      
      discovered 2 more accounts that belong to that imposter. You may be interested to know how to deal with them.

            Empress Felicity has already given you the easiest solution - if you don't want to join a conversation don't, and if you don't want to reply to someone don't.
            
            If you don't like what someone says hit the report button, but if the comment is within the rules do not be surprised if the moderators let it stand.
            
            Or do you think that anyone who doesn't agree with you should be banned?
            
            Most of us older hubbers know exactly who Evolution Guy is, and considering the provocation I'm surprised his replies to you were as temperate as they were.

   My solution is this:

   But I feel that if you leave imposters free to comment, and which is visible, then every effort to keep that discussion clean and meaningful will be lost. If we make
   those comments hide, then we will really make a useful discussion.
   
   Ignoring is not a solution, because you do not know whom to ignore. And even you know, someone else may not be able to detect that someone is just a fake alias. We
   must stamp fake as fake.

                  1 type wants to really discuss a subject. Another wants to just disrupt that, and get some fun out of their fake accounts. If you feel someone is hurting you in a forum, and has no intention to discuss anything: just ask him:

          I'm not sure how true this is as I have not studied the forum rules in any depth, however, I'm not saying that it is incorrect. If it is permitted to talk about pornography etc, and you have refrained, that's because it is your choice. And, just like yourself, other hubbers have the freedom of choice also.

                YES, I'M REAL. I DID NOT ASK YOU TO DISCUSS PORNOGRAPHY, YOU BROUGHT IT UP. YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT, ARE YOU REAL?

                   CHECK THIS FORUM CAREFULLY. SOMEONE SAID THAT EVERYTHING CAN BE DISCUSSED IN A FORUM. NOW YOU ARE ALL OBJECTING THAT.

    The summary is here-
    
    1 type wants to really discuss a subject. Another wants to just disrupt that, and get some fun out of their fake accounts. If you feel someone is hurting you in a forum, and has no intention to discuss anything: just ask him:
    
    "ARE YOU REAL?"
    
    If he really wants to discuss, he will get surprised or angry, by your words. If he is a faker, he will show you his abuse more and more. Simple?

       i first must admit that you sir are very real,... as am i,... as is cags,... as is every one els here,...
       
       and i must next admit that this whole string has been remarkably silly,..
       
       "are you real?"
       
       the hub pages equivelant to "i know you are but what m i"  ????
       
       to the original poster i say,..... GROW THE HELL UP.
       
       to all the rest of us who stand flabbergasted at this idiocy,... perhaps we should do as we say,.... and ignore this.
