good! you finally realized
Bad? PopularPaladin for encouraging public persecution and scapegoating among forum members.
You can celebrate people who contributed something specific but itās wrong even to define whoās a good member, not to mention a bad one.
If you want to do something about the latter, demand more mod response and action, then report the respective posts.
This has nothing to do with a positive atmosphere either, especially when youāre encouraging to make lists of bad members. Claiming that youāll be able to keep it all fluff is narrow-minded and self-centered.
Some people do overreact but such sensitivity is partly justified when itās against something obviously toxic.
am i in your teamā¦?
woops, forgot this is not the off-topic
Sure the thread started off as a āBaitā thread as you so put it, but it became something positive, at-least for a short while. I really donāt need to say much more as @Melon and @Rabbit have already eloquently put it.
My personal feelings, which I have stated time and time again;
Yes, I am bothered by the amount of bugs within the game.
Yes, I am bothered that IMC has gone AFK from the forums for the most part.
Yes, I fully understand everyone elseās complaints and gripes.
No, I am not going to make 15 different shite post about the same stuff over and over.
No, I am not going to incite IMC by calling them names or telling other players theyāre complete crap for having a opinion that differs from mine.
No, I will not agree with all of those complaints and gripes but most likely would if they were written in a more constructive way than, āFU IMC WHY U DO DIS!ā
Iām done. The negativity of some people is down right disturbing. I would rather be positive and blind, then negative and hateful.
@scarethemonkeys yes I second what you said. There are too many of the āIMC if you donāt do this donāt do that Iāll quit or suchā threads.
Whatever, Im saying these type of threads arent helpfull either as they are here to bait people into these type of arguments. Thats it. How about we actually see a real appreciation post? or people talking about the stuff they like in a game? not a list of lets vote whos the best people in forum and who are the trollers lmao thats what im saying.
If we were talking about lets say per example, HEY have you guys seen the new costumes? What do you think about them? Or Have you guys seen the new content? What do you think about it? Etc Etc. Those threads are welcomed as they are here to talk about game content and your personal experience with the game, but this thread? just a shiā¦ty bait honestly.
My 25 minutes of reading wasted. NOICEEE
nice point of view, im sure they wont answer to you because you are pointing obvious things.
Have you seen those threads? The ones that start off with āHey! Something Positive?ā They turn into an instance flame the OP fest. There is no winning to this no matter what side youāre on. The best perspective is from the middle.
Forums have always been where a small % of the player-base go to vent. At-least in most games. There are very few positive threads to be found in the MMO scene because most people who feel good about the game are playing and donāt care to read the garbage that spews from the Forums. Hell, I tell myself everyday to stay away from these forums, but there are people here I generally like, and enjoy reading their post; irregardless if they are negative or positive.
Anywaysā¦
This post was flagged by the community and is temporarily hidden.
Probably the first and only time Iāll agree with you,but yes.Seeing the population as low as it is there,itās probably the best course of action at this point.The current situation isnāt very fair to them.
^______^ I never said you did darlinā. Bless your heart, itās a damn shame you canāt just learn to tell the difference between commentary and criticism but then again Iām pretty sure if you had a direct hand of that your lil heart might burst. Thatās why we use āsomeonesā āpeopleā ātheyā and the plural of āyouā āto draw the comparison and contrast in attitudes. Iām sure that if you passed high school English or actually, thatās something in every language and culture as far as Iām aware. Itās something that is considered a basic function of survival because we have to compare and contrast for survival but that IS getting offtopic! ^^
And actually, commending players for their behavior in game and in the forums should be in general. Itās a thread about the general behavior of the playersāin response to other community members. And let me repeat this one more time, just so it can sink in, as Iām sure you didnāt hear me right the first time, while it could be moved to off-topic taking time to interact and commend other players that youāve had positive interactions with belongs quite validly in the General section! Iām also pleased to inform you thatā¦
In fact, itās one of the merits that even folks with an unpleasant attitude and limited capacity to understand view points beyond their own head-in-anus mentality should be able to grasp! Because the biggest resource of the game isā¦ wait for itā¦ ^ ^ are you excited? Iām excited to tell you~~
the players! Thatās right! When it comes to new or returning community members it also helps to see which individuals are considered to have a balanced behavior in what they have to say about the game. Itās 2016 we really donāt do the black/white thing anymore, itās considered a pretty big social faux pas to be too far on way or the other (I know, shocking isnāt it???). In fact extreme fanboi or hate is considered blatantly obvious and stupid.
But AN-Y-WAY~ Iām sure you consider your opinions to totally be contributing to the thread and none of your comments are at all personal attacks because those are considered against the forum rules and Iām sure youāve read that~ riiiight?
Itās especially relieving because most players had fairly positive things to say about the rest of the community until you came along you bright lil spot of sunishine Even if the OP intended it as bait, nearly every post has been nice and with the exception of pointing out some very obvious trolls on the forum, Iāve not seen harmful. The sad thing is when people do, and feel free to look at my topic history for further proof of this, make genuinely positive and/or helpful threadsāplayers that you echo in attitude come along and piss all over it.
@WryKeg no on claimed to be keeping it fluff, the person Iām responding to is deliberately trying to derail the thread and bait other players. Itās a shame because whatever the intention of the OP, most of us have been positive as I stated in the last paragraph. No one has claimed that they were going to ākeep it all fluffā but it is a fluff thread. Itās not something thatās being taken seriously by anyone until this crap started and just threw a wrench in the works. This happens with almost every post anyone makes. You arenāt given space to enjoy anything on the forums because you get flamed for it quite literally. Iāve had several people who have just quit posting or just leave due to this kind of behavior.
Luckily I find it amusing as hell most days, and Iām not easily scared off. Itās just a drop of rain on my shoulder.
@scarethemonkeys I have really been cutting back because I realized that I was starting to get pretty unpleasant myself. That plus a lot of my tongue in cheek humor and sarcasm goes right over a lot of peopleās heads ;;ā¦ Iām taken seriously way too often. And yeah, you really cannot be positive on here. It takes usually less than a day for it to get turned from something helpful/positive/ect ('cept the class forums, those seem pretty relevant most of the time thankfully) into all the justā¦ I donāt even have words for it. =___= They really, REALLY need to start moderating the forums.
Edit; Iād go back and edit all the damn typos I just noticed but Iām running on like 3 hours of sleep and dealing with babysitting 10 animals atm.
Iād do it for free. and with balance. These forums need MVPās or something.
=_____= I totally would help but I figure Iām considered a bit on the opinionated side. I tried suggesting something like that but it got mixed responses to say the least, haha. Ugh I need coffee.
I have my more opinionated topics as well, but Iād gladly accept the challenge. And I sincerely mean this in the way of, actually moderating the forums and not just post I donāt like/agree with.
Oh me too. Thereās a big difference between personal posts and actually putting on the roll of a moderator. @_o;
Finding people who can draw that lineā¦ that can be a little difficult.
Agreed,I would also be up for it despite the beating youād get for having STAFF_ attached to your name.It seems worthwhile to me and Julie proved that the effort can make a difference.Over time I think weād be able to make another turn around.
Although I think if they were to get so far as to hire a CM/mods more fluent in English,the game would be improving further anyway and maybe things would be different here?
100% Agree. I do believe a lot of it has to do with the language barrier. You get these; often times botched replies by the GM/DEVs that make you wonder. We as a community could use another few like Julie.
@Rabbit I havenāt been talking about anyone specific as Iāve answered to the thread as a whole so to my argument itās irrelevant what drama has already been going on above.
As for the particular adjective, it was simply still on my mind after skimming over some posts.
I have already stated why claiming itās just casual small-talk is invalid. Itās an obvious straw man fallacy to say a topic you donāt take seriously isnāt something for anyone to care about. Claiming this wouldāve stayed a minor fun if you didnāt fall victim to the rampant thread derailment on this forum is just another straw man argument.
Most people dont browse the off-topics section of a forum at all. To them, general fullfills the same purpose.
Is this thread about praising the game? No, it is not.
Ara, ara. My, arenāt we rather harsh.
Is it too hard to argue with actual arguments?
