Diddums 4,336 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I've tried being nice, I've tried being polite, I've tried subtle hints, and people are still arguing. Enough is enough. From now on, I expect people to start using the report button if posts annoy you. I expect to see reports every day, and I expect people to either learn to have a civilized discussion, or you will be shown the door. I worked my fucking arse off to get this place to where we are today, and unfortunately giving people the freedom to say what they want results in nothing but arguing. This is now being revoked. I'm on red alert. You've been warned. Keep it civil, or I'll crack the whip. TigerBurge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepercolony 275 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 the problem on the old forum wasn't censorship, it was basically one dude who wasn't kept on a short enough leash (but who ultimately meant well . . . kind of a shame). i liked the rules about civility then, but i'm also enjoying calling people on bullshit when they're being bullshitty now. and problems still come up, rules or no rules. we've seen that. if you want to set up a system where you're saying if you do _____ then your punishment will be _______, i say go for it, couldn't hurt. that said, i think a lot of people migrated because they didn't want a babysitter, and you were one of them. for my part, i'm happy to keep disagreements and issues in PM. where they belong. where they don't bother anyone else.

Diddums 4,336 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 That's fine. Everyone disagrees. We all have our moments and our arguments, but certain folks aren't able to address these as civilized people and that's where I get annoyed. Posting PMs in public to prove a point is also just being petty. You know who you are. Don't let it happen again.

deterioration 443 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Not resolving a problem that is evident is retarded. You know who you are. It will keep happening if you don't fix it. Saying be nice isn't a fix. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deterioration 443 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 it is if people start playing nice I thought that was the whole point of this new forum? You all pretend to be nice and stab each other in the back. I became active in the middle of your drama 2 forums ago. It's still going on I don't want to fight or get stupid PM's because I shared my opinion and someone doesn't like it and never had the balls to confront me when it happened.

Baabcat 1,646 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Diddums there must have been times in the last few weeks of mayhem when you must have thought 'why did I bother?' I'd just like to say thanks for bothering , the place is really important to me. You're running round sorting all the crap out, i am sure many of us really appreciate it, I know I do .

Commander_Undies 618 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I have been in contact with some forum members and I'll be completely honest, the arguments going on here is turning me off from visiting. Like I've said to some members, we all have problems in real life and we don't need the drama on the internet as well. In the end, I know that there is no way I'd ever leave this community. But it's ultimately causing me not to post as much. If Dave is putting his foot down, then I guess I'll have to as well. Ninja style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down there satan (this was a joke), you are making a few generalizations that are not necessary, or valid, for a large portion of this forums population.

Black hearted angel fallen from grace. You are absolutely correct it isn’t everyone and that’s what fucking pisses me off. The people who serve to supplant those who are not to their liking are allowed to do so unchecked. I’m mad because this is a wonderful community and a ton of you are very nice people who I enjoy gaming and sharing ideas with. I’ve never attacked someone here for sport. Others have and have been successful in picking off those who won’t stand up for themselves. Bullying members to leave because you don’t care for them based on their opinions, what they enjoy, their lifestyle, etc... is a problem. I think all of you who care for this community should fight against people pushing members away. Fight for each other and the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepercolony 275 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Can someone else word this better than me? I'm struggling to find a way to describe this to fully grown people who should know better. i dunno . . . i think what you're trying to avoid is having issues between members affect other members who have nothing to do with it. you have guys like Mike who don't want to read it (obviously he's not the only one, just an example from this thread), so their activity-level goes down. that's bad (although i bet you could make an argument that this shit boosts traffic a little too, but whatever). issues happen. no amount of policing will prevent that. what we can prevent is spillage into the forum-at-large that taints the experience for everyone else. spillage has consequences for other forum members who don't want to be subjected to it, so spillage should also have consequences for the culprits (temp bans, whatever). settle it in PM and then either use ignore or don't use ignore. done?
