Not the respectful, constructive topical part I can promise.I love when Havamal posts. I always feel the need to look around to see what part of the forum history has changed
P.s. Forum rules, please dont publicly comment on Moderation posts. PM is available. Thank you.
....have you tried turning it off and back on again?
When you go into 'Ratings You've Received' it shows you who has done what to your posts. I don't even have to keep a mental note, its all riiiight there, kept in order. @Mechwarrior Horus should know better, he's seen me in action!
Hell Hath no Fury Like a Hatchy Scorned.
Y'all been warned
If they open a modding section here that's where I'll be
I will say I prefer people who have actually played the game whining over people pre-whining over a game they haven't played
Ok I have to agree with coming back for a modding section, I might do that, if only to search or info. As for the other thing, I have a bunch of quotes from Dennis Leary, George Carlin or Sam Kinison I could use but that might get me banned
ROFL you think that the release is going to stop it? It is just going to get worse, at least for awhile. The flood of new people who just bought the game and never came to the forums will most likely be epic and hilarious to read. For me however I will have to see it a month or so after it happens because I will be playing the game not coming back to the toxic waste dump for site seeing.
At least then people will be complaining about actual problems with the game instead of making them up.
Since this is the bickering thread:
It really grinds my gears when someone does the "respectfully disagree" when they stubbornly want wishful thinking to trump deductive reasoning. Sigh.

The whole down-voting, thumbs down, whatever the [mod edit: Keep it closer to E for everyone language, please]you want to call it thing is a stupid premise to begin with. Nine times out of ten its because there is a misunderstanding and the person who down votes isn't willing to understand what the other person is trying to say and only wants to exert some kind of control over someone else.
Its not rocket science. If you're a stand-up comedian performing in front of a full audience, and only get 2 laughs from a joke, its not a good joke. Its not like the comedian stands there and says, 'Well, what did you think? Was that funny?' And waits for everyone to hold up a thumbs down sign. Silence says more than anything to a performer.
Then there are the professionals who do nothing but farm the down-votes as there little way of getting attention.
And Imma pro at getting attention.

It's petty, but I'm to the point where if someone downvotes something of mine with no subsequent input or explanation, I go back through their profile and determine whether I think they've contributed anything of substance. If they haven't, they go on my ignore list. My definition of "substantial" is pretty generous - the folks with zero posts who've been here for a couple months and simply click "disagree" are not people I'm interested in. I'm happy to butt heads with folks, even if we don't agree at the end of the day, so long as they can cogently stake out a position.

Let's see how many disagrees I can get.
2+2=4
Bring on the hate!!!!
No, 2+2=22. Because I want 22; 4 is too few.Let's see how many disagrees I can get.

You know, it probably does actually bring down the overall number of shitposts since people can just hit a button when they don't like something but have no leg to stand on in actual debate. That little X gets a lot of use around here when things like inclusivity come up. I hate to think of what would happen if it wasn't there.

I get annoyed when someone respectfully disagrees with me after I'm simply posting quotes and facts, just because it doesn't fit with their world view.The whole down-voting, thumbs down, whatever the [mod edit: Keep it closer to E for everyone language, please]you want to call it thing is a stupid premise to begin with.

That usually happens during hardpoint discussions. As if I'm not entitled to my opinion on the subject.
I've found that whichever side I'm on in any "controversial" topic, there is usually about a 50/50 split, just as many agree with me as disagree which should tell you something.
A healthy debate is where ideas come from, not a shouting match and someone "respectfully disagreeing" just because they feel differently. But that's the world we live in now.

Actually, its up to the moderators. Its the mods responsibility to keep the mandate of the company.
Its because we had the best moderators. In very short order a member was informed on what was expected of them and tight reigns were kept until the member understood what they needed to do if they wanted to contribute.
It was my home, Packrat...our home...now we have to rent space in a high school...it is so difficult coming to terms with the changes...
