What. The Hell. Is. The Problem? Seriously. Now everyone who's anyone here has probably noticed that I'm hardly around, and when I am, I'm generally an ass. Well, here I am again, to tell you all to stop being asses. Am I a hypocrite? Damn straight. Is what I'm about to tell you vital to making these forums not consist of absolute shit? Probably not. Should you take it to heart? Probably. I'm going to put all of my little rant into example form, using Meganoob's many threads. Firstly, there were what? A total of five? Wonderful. The people of these forums certainly have a pet peeve with spam. However, it has not been etched in stone (ToU) that there is a limit. If there was a limit, the new post button would be disabled after x number of threads. My point being, new players certainly don't know this. And new players certainly can't be expected to apologize and not be pissed, or even quit when you all flame the person. I actually used what I'm about to say here in the past in my thread on ways to improving forums. Use your words. Not the mean ones. Explain what the person did wrong and why it was wrong. Do it kindly so that you aren't scaring away what could potentially be one of the best forumers to ever grace this app. Secondly, I saw a question thread.... With no helpful answer whatsoever. Seriously? What is wrong with helping a new player? If you're going to make rude or sarcastic remarks, you clearly have the time to post the real answer and I'm rather sure you'd know it or else you wouldn't have posted in the first place. So simply give the answer. Not only that, but question threads are supposed to be locked when the question is answered. There you go! You even get a reward out of helping somebody. The thread gets locked and slips off of active topics, leaving room for better threads with topics still open to discussion. Lastly, the overall rudeness towards new players is appalling. I may not be the friendliest person around these parts, but I've always done my part in helping new players. Give them the benefit of the doubt, because They don't know any better. Seriously, on MegaNoob's fifth (?) thread, bragging about his achievement, I saw the replies saying he wanted a forum ban. What is wrong with you all? Is that necessary? Nobody even explains what he is doing wrong, just that you don't like it. Instead of being rude towards these players in your little group of friends, acknowledge the player. Tell him/her good job. Attempt to he his or her friend! This is me, attempting to be the voice of reason. Have a good day, and hopefully my post will convince at least some of you to change your behavior.
That could not have been said any better Royale Where's all the trolls? Scared? Great thread
I could troll my word choice I need to reread and edit BEFORE I post. Lol. Hello everyone Maxikins
What I find really ironic is that some of the people who trolled meganoob are now cheering on this thread Double standards much?
