You're only adding to all the drama with this thread. You're an attention whore. You have to make your opinion known. You have to make your own thread. You want people to know that this is your take on it, and that you are important enough that people should care. The sad truth is no one should care. The only way to stop something to make it irrelevant, and this is the opposite of that. GG on you're thread though. You sure are making the problem stop.
Ignoring a problem, does not always solve the problem.

On the internet it mostly does. Especially forum drama.  And that is all it is, senseless forum drama. Not even harassment.

It would work, but only if everyone is willing to let it go. Although, certain users can't, that is why ignoring the problem wouldn't work here.

I made this thread because I'm never actually here for any of the shit that happens since I'm busy during the day. Just because you claim I'm trying to whore for attention doesn't redact the point that I made in the OP. My popularity or reputation here is irrelevant to my basis of making the thread, because I would've done the same fucking thing if I just joined the site today. You act like you know everything about me, so please, continue to make baseless assumptions  :D

Okay, let's do this.

I made this thread because I'm never actually here for any of the shit that happens since I'm busy during the day.
So what does it really have to do with you then? You're not involved in it, you weren't there for it. How can you really talk about it then?

Just because you claim I'm trying to whore for attention doesn't redact the point that I made in the OP. My popularity or reputation here is irrelevant to my basis of making the thread,
It has nothing to do with trying to redact anything you said in the OP, but more of why you said it. You're motivation behind the stuff you say matters too. Your OP made be valid but it does not stop anything. Hence your motivation behind why you made is for selfish reasons along with your thread being pointless. Even if you aren't full of yourself on an internet forum. You made the thread because you thought what you said mattered enough. It doesn't. You're not important enough to continue to make a thread continuing forum drama that would be done with if everyone shut the fuck up. No one is. So anyone making a thread with their take is stupid, and they are full of themselves. That is the only way to look at it.

because I would've done the same fracking thing if I just joined the site today.
Really? "I guess the "confession" I'm trying to make is that I miss the beginning stages of this site," This sounds like something from a user who joined yesterday, clearly.

You act like you know everything about me, so please, continue to make baseless assumptions  :D
  Can do.

As much as you'd like to think that simply not talking about the issue would fix it, that's not the case. You haven't been here long enough to realize that this has been a reoccurring theme for a while now. Considering the fact that this is an open forum, everyone has the ability to speak their mind on anything they'd like. This was on my mind and I thought I'd share it, unless my idea on this whole forum thing is completely off.

Usually the way problems are solved is through a combined effort of discussion and compromise with the parties involved. I'm only encouraging those things, so if that's your idea of someone being "full of themselves" then you need to have a reality check.

You know, this would all probably be solved if you set up a simple ruleset. The mods put their foot down on peeps who attack each other. Exactly like the Bungie of yee old days. You can talk and discuss things, but when things become personal or users go out of their way to cause trouble and stir shit, the mods put their foot down. Implement the three strikes, three sets rule to show that we aren't putting up with this shit. This drama is what sunk all the other sites.

First set:

Strike 1: One day Ban
Strike 2: Two day ban
Strike 3: Three day ban

Second Set:

Strike 1: One week ban
Strike 2: Two week ban
Strike 3: Three week ban

Third and final set:

Strike 1: Perma ban

But the rules need to be very clearly defined, and very clearly enforced if a system like this went up. Because it's unforgiving. But that's what mods should be when it comes to problems like this. They put their foot down when they need to, and stamp the bullshit out. If people can't manage themselves properly and in a semi-decent fashion here, then the mods do it for them.

No, actually the only way for this problem to be solved is for people to get overtly offended by people who don't matter, and for other people to stop being cocks with the intention to cocks for no reason. Nothing is solved by making a thread, unless you were an admin addressing the issue and handing out punishments, but you're not. And yeah usually they are solved everyone coming together to combat the problem, in the real world, but maybe you need a reality check if you would think it'd work here. And you might not be full of yourself, but these kinds of threads sure do not contribute to the contrary. At least to me. I could be wrong though. It is just what it comes off as to me.

Hey Nexus, just because someone makes a thread telling people to grow up and stop fighting and gets a lot likes as a result of it doesn't mean he's fishing for likes or being an attention whore.

I don't know who you were on b.net or if you're even from there, but Nasty is the farthest thing from an attention whore. He just cares about the community and doesn't want to see it go down due to people being childish.

It's funny you say he's unimportant and his post does nothing but contribute to the drama, while at the same asking us to listen to you instead while trying to engage OP in an argument. I tip my hat to you sir.

Ignoring this won't make it go away. There are a select few people who take things way too seriously and personally, and there is another group which believes free speech means you can say what you like without backlash. These people keep bumping heads and ignoring them or laughing at them doesn't solve anything. If anything, we need to engage them in discussion and try to get these people to get along.
Wait, you actually fucking believe the scapegoat free argument? It's nothing. It's bullshit that people hide behind so they can try and say what they want. They don't care about free speech, they care about being assholes. And, I guess I might have jumped the gun on the attention whoring argument, but it is still a valid complaint. And I was never on Bnet so....

This is what I'm saying though, the rules shouldn't have to be that clearly defined if we're such a close community. People shouldn't be veering so close so that they have to have it spelled out for them when they cross the line.

Except this right here is exactly what the problem is.

Wait, so you're saying that the only people who should be allowed to talk about an issue that directly affects everyone in this community, especially if it comes to this place getting shut down, are staff members? That logic is asinine at best.

Take a look at what's in your face. Don't make assumptions about the community. We are a community, yes. But that doesn't change the fact that we are individual people. And individual people sometimes, just don't fucking get it.

You lay down a very clear ruleset, and if they don't follow and show some respect when asked nicely, you stamp them out. And if they don't learn, then you do it again. And if it doesn't click, then you  say fuck them and cut ties.

People will always be people. And sometimes, you have no choice but to cut ties and leave them behind if they aren't willing to wake the fuck up and act half assed decent. I mean jesus fuck, I know it's the internet, but grow the fuck up and just be nice. No, you don't even have to be nice. Just be considerate and don't fling shit.

Lol Dammit, I missed a word. I mean they shouldn't get overtly offended and people should stop being jerks. I'm saying though, is that everyone knows the issue, and it can't be solved with everyone talking about it continuously. It can only really be solved by them stopping or being removed. They are not gonna stop just because people make threads though. It only just continues the problem.

Of course I don't believe it. That's why I wrote "these people believe free speech means they can say what they like without backlash" as if it were some sort of diplomatic immunity.

I understand what you're trying to say, but these people will only evaluate things even further if we ignore them. Because it's not like they do it for us, they do the same shit every thread themselves.

Either punishments get harsher because of a few people, or we try to talk some sense into them.
But they aren't going to listen to sense. They have no reason to. Nothing can be done to them unless  a mod does something, and then that is when punishments are harsher. People get mad and leave, "Hur dur the site is not what is used to be," and shit like that.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Wahhhhhh again

This is exactly my point. "Grow the frack up and just be nice". You can't turn the community into good people through rules.. If someone has to go look up a rule to see if they're about to break it then I don't think they belong here anyway.
It should just be something like "don't be a dickhead" and then leave it to the mods opinions.

Then that's their loss. The people that understand things and look and ask why what's being done is being done will stay. The people that are too stubborn and stuck in their ways aren't needed or wanted here. And if they can't wake up and smell the coffee, then that's their own damn fault.
