Has Anyone Noticed...

That this forum is one of the worst for flaming and flame wars? (By the way, I'm not going to use the "annoying" font in this thread)

[Amelia]

i think its a place where hormonally overridden teens/angsty computer geeks can express themselves. It seems to me that most of the flaming is either
a) consensual or
b) easily ignored.

If it bothers you either report it or ignore it. Personally, i take it with a grain of salt. What can one overly hormonal stranger really say that is going to ruin my life?

It's not. I just noticed there is a difference between this forum and the other ones I post to.

Then go to those forums.

[skipper587]

Then go to those forums.

See, it just happened. Stuff like that sparks those kinds of things. It really is incredible.

[wootbean]

I see it happen sometimes. they turn from heated debates to simply insulting each other, with :rolleyes:s everywhere

Is it possible you being too sensitive? You made a thread about a problem you are having. Vester gave you a solution. Sounds helpful to me.

[kijib]

has anyone noticed the people that make pointless threads about the pointless posts in the lounge?
what do you think they try to gain with this?
do they think its cool?

[skipper587]

It truthfully doesn't bother me. Oel rä'ä nìn oeri tengfya tawtute set. If you can figure that out, it's the answer to my "problem."

[Burton]

Google translate ftw.

Not quite. It's in Na'vi. Google translate doesn't have Na'vi....yet...

Wow, kinda funny coming form u

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
And to the OP, if you're just here to troll about trollers, leave!

Not trolling. Just stating facts. Keeping a calm mood.

The irony is mind-blowing.

P.S. did you seriously just post in the Off Topic thread telling KGameLover to use the edit button... and then make two more posts in a row? Someone hand me a rifle.

No flaming in my thread about flaming! xD I think he was just imitating KGamelover1 there, in his defense.

[MidianGTX]

Yeah I suspected it may be another stupid rule-breaking forum-spamming attempt at humour.

[Kamazar]

TA is definitely getting a lot more aggressive. A lot of core members that use to hang around are gone, and now we have a bunch of really annoying new users.

Cut the crap, seriously. That's the stuff I'm talking about.

I agree with you there, though I haven't been around in a while.

It's dog eat dog out here. *throws fire extinguisher at Kamazar*

So we're not allowed to be critical while we stick up for the rules of the forum? Might as well open the door and invite anarchy in.

I'm not saying to throw out the rules. You just think I am. There are other ways to tell people that what they are doing is wrong, instead of "Yeah I suspected it may be another stupid rule-breaking forum-spamming attempt at humour." That invites people to just flame you back, and then a flame war gets started.

There's honestly nothing we can do about kijib, though. He's just a troll. I'm just curious as why he hasn't been banned yet. KGameLover1, though... I have no idea what's up with that guy. He's been here a month and he's racked up 600 (mostly substanceless) posts.

Might as well let a robot do it if you wanna be boring and avoid any hint of a conversation :rolleyes: Give all the rules a number and next time one is broken we'll all reply with:

Rule #17 has been broken. Please inform a mod and/or admin immediately and make your way to the nearest exit.

[skipper587]

The last thing I want to do is become devoid of emotion, but I sure would like to do out with all the flaming and spamming and accusing.

[MidianGTX]

Well I usually just report posts that break the rules and annoy me, but certain members just don't learn, so it's more rewarding to toy with them.

But then you start flame wars and accomplish the exact opposite of what you were going for in the first place.

In those instances I was sort of aiming for a flame war... preferably while still following the rules with each post I make. If it weren't for the occasional drama this place would be boring, we're all guilty of it, the evidence is all over the Adults group.

Haha, nice. But you can make it interesting through other ways.

[Random_Guy]

@ skipper587. If you dislike people flaming you, then why did you make this thread? You know that it will cause more people to flame. In my opinion, you're just an attention-seeker.

[The Game Reaper]

What I can't stand are the 'mature' egotistical jerks gekkota who think all teens are;

a) Horndogs

b) Illiterate

c) Immature

That pisses me off to no end.

[tblrsa]

Aren´t they?

.....


Just kidding. ;)

You could always just use the "ignore" option if you are that offended. But there are a lot worse flamers thangekkotathe person you are referring to especially since I've never made any comments directed toward you anyway!
So, ease up a bit! :)

[WunDaii]

This forum is one of the best, mainly because there are thousands of active users. Most of the time there aren't any flame wars (as far as I can see) and everybody expresses themselves about a game. Everybody is also pretty kind and fun :)

However, I do find that people here follow other people. As in, people just go along with what other people say, despite the fact that they don't agree with that they're saying. So someone will agree with person A who has loads of posts, regardless of whether they agree with person A or not.

Just my opinion, but it's still a pretty cool forum, glad to be here. :)

Not all teens, just a very large number of internet-using teens :rolleyes:

[da shiz wiz 19]

now we have a bunch of really annoying new users.
Yeah that's me.

If you think this site is bad, then I wouldn't go on 4chan if I were you.

4chan is good in getting viral things started, and they have been great creating buzz against the Scientology Criminals. Ah, there are times in which you just need a good internet hate machine. :)

Unless you have adBlock. Even at that, caution.

[Grumps]

I use to ran a 10,000 members forum and I have to say this is completely inevitable in any forums. We do expect immature people to be around us and some may just want to voice themselves in a bad manner to other users. There isn't really a way to stop it, but it's definitely something that damages the entire experience.

Just wait till they grow up, got bored of doing it. But eventually another stray will just come around and continue where the others may have left off.

Yeah, there will always be the immature brats who don't have anything better to do or contribute. It will always happen in a popular forum. Eventually, I believe, the amount of immaturity goes down, but only after reaching an all time high, which is why places like TA need quite a few mods right at this moment. Eventually anyone who stays through the bad will be able to have a good conversation without blatant disagreement for the sake of disagreement.

I disagree.

Thank you.
