No room for civility any more?

[Immortal Wombat]

Nice sentiment Vel, but I think this forum will get a better when people start to leave. With the exception of the OT, the forums that run best, are running on a smaller population. The so sudden influx of people caused a mess of threads with no structure, and no already-in-place heirarchy of respect (sounds stupid, but helps sort out lots of things). Somehow the resulting mess split into a bi-partisan flamefest and well, mess. The whole forum needs closing for a couple of months.

The whiners will bugger off altogether, the people who actually like the game can go to CFC or go play.

wow...

Never saw such a DAMN STUPID idea... CLOSING the forum for a couple of months? you sick? and HIERARCHY??? it doesn't SOUND stupid, it IS INCREDIBLY STUPID!!!

[Velociryx]

Not that I mind seeing posts from those who disagree with me, cos I think I've made it clear that I don't mind that at all...but Dark Cav...having already stated that you think this thread is in the wrong place, having already stated that you find this thread boring....why are ya still reading it?? I'm genuinely curious at this point...I mean, when I stumble across something that bores me, I generally, you know...put it down.

...in your opinion

Not an actual hierarchy, merely a perceived one. Probably heiracrchy is a bad word, but every poster here forms an opinion on the other posters, and arranged in order of how much respect they command in your own mind, and its a heirarchy. So newbies can instantly see who is talking sense, and which poster just spouts crap all the time.

And yes, close the forum. You'll live.

[TheDarkCavalier]

whoa....

Talk about civility, I can't even say a word disagreening with someone, and then there are like 5 ppl screaming at me.

I read this thread just to laught at all you ahem... people, and when someone's talking to me, I usually respond.

AJ, Dark means EVIL, not stupid... moron

Wooaaah wait a sec there big boys!!

While I can understand the thought process to say shutting down the forums for a cooling off period has some sense. OTOH it sends a clear message that the trolls have won. Kinna like never negotiating with terrorists, ya know.

But regarding a sense of Hierarchy, IW you are correct. I look at long time posters, long time contributors, and in general jus' all around good guys as knowing of what they speak (write).

In contrast I look at others looking to spew flames 'bout as trolls to be ignored.

Evil One,

That's not just disagreement. That's also insulting. I happen to agree that closing the forum isn't a good idea, but slamming someone's idea as INCREDIBLY STUPID!!! is... um... emblematic of the problems we are discussing here.

Welcome, Sir Wombat!

And Cav...nobody was screaming at you...I was merely asking the question if this place bores you so much, whatcha still doing here? In general, when I'm bored outta my gourd somewhere, I relocate, so I'm curious to know if we've either a) suddenly gotten more interesting, or b) you're just putting up with us, despite the pain it's causing you?

[TheDarkCavalier]

closing the forums...

I DARE anyone of you to go and suggest closing the forums or putting an hierarchy to Ming...

If one reads your name and your last words I suppose everything would be mentioned about your fabulous personality ...

Ever read a book?
You'd know several words can be applied to various contexts.

Ever thruly read something at all?
You' d notice me to be a non native speaker/writer.

Though your words are easily understood ...

especially by what I referred to in the first place.

PS:
Not interested in your replies, don' bother!

[Velociryx]

Cav - Given that Ming reads and posts in this thread, I'm quite sure he'll see both. Given that this forum assigns titles based on post count, at least some acknowledgement is given to the notion of heirarchy.

PS: Interesting how the one person who did a little name calling on this thread ("stupid idea - Moron") was the first person to cry foul for people "screaming at him" That intrugues me.
