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 escalate 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.Well, telling people to get their acts together isn't detrimental to the site. If the majority of us tell the minority causing problems to act right, they'll start to rethink how they act here at least.

Because it's unforgiving.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. I mean jesus frack, I know it's the internet, but grow the frack up and just be nice. No, you don't even have to be nice. Just be considerate and don't fling shit.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.

It'd be nice if it would, but they will just continue, and it will get worse the more people bring it up. Look at Dustin.In that case the mods will get more serious. At least we tried reasoning with them.

They'd still be dicks, then when they get slapped down for it they would cry that it's unfair and that the mods are biased.

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.
