Warning: This is going to be a ranting post addressing the fact that there has been a lot of fighting going on between members of this forum lately. Don't like it? Too bad. Skip over it. If for some ungodly reason you reply, I want an intelligent -- intelligent -- response that's not just a quote of text and two fucking words.
------------------------------------------------------------
Now. . . I'm starting to get sick of this place with all the clawing into one another you people have been doing lately. When is it going to fucking end? Never, most likely. Why? Because. . .and yes, I realize the supposed "irony" of me, or anyone saying this. . . Because. . .none of you people have the mental capacity to maintain a positive, or even freaking neutral attitude for more than one or two god damned posts! All I see these days whenever I pop into a random topic is something similar to this:
Example Thread of Posts | Forum User A: Blah blah blah.
Forum User B: *quotes User A* Ha ha, you moron.
Forum User A: *quotes User B* *makes an angered response*
Forum User C: *bandwagons against User A*
Forum User D: *either adds to the band-wagonning or says something entirely irrelevant*
Forum User E: *etc.*
|
As I said. . .when is going to stop? Probably never. 96.2% of the users of this forum. . .and even some of the "higher-ups". . .simply don't have the intelligence to just "live and let live". Or maybe they like causing trouble. I know there's at least a couple users on these forums who make it a constant habit of posting absolute garbage just to post.(I'm surprised no one's tried just posting constant spam to raise their post count, on that note. And I mean, like, 50 spam posts a day or something.) It's absolutely ridiculous. . .the condition of these forums. . . Someone has got to start buckling down over here and keeping sharper vigilance on the members that post. Specifically, the members that just randomly decide to attack other forum users for no apparent reason. I'd say "use your best judgement in those situations". . .but for some of your Moderators? I don't know.
Which leads me to a related topic. I know how I said most users can't just "live and let live," but for Moderators and Admins, that seems to be quite the opposite problem. It seems to me that the management here has a serious leniency problem in that they let all this continue to go on. While that means that these forums are a nice, relaxed community where people can post what they feel. . .it also means that people are going to do just that. Post whatever they feel. In some cases, that's just not cool, and it insights "riots" within the populous. It's when these flame wars break out that Moderators need to step in and do something intelligent. I know a few of you people on the administration staff have the capacity and judgement to keep things in check. But it doesn't seem like any of you do.
Well. . . That's that. No, this isn't one of those "omg im quiting u fux0rs u suk!!1!" posts. This is simply something I had to get off my chest. I'm certain a couple of you have noticed I've become a little more hostile towards people here lately. Better I explode in a post like this than explode at someone.
*sigh* Why do I bother. . . Let the expected barrage of idiocy commence. . .
Edit: I wonder if I should've posted this under "Hot Topics" instead of here? Oh well.
