I don't approve of some of the recent threads that have gotten locked and it really upsets me when I want to comment/add to a particularly funny thread that I feel had great potential. This game is boring enough and the forum/community is the only thing that is only keeping it alive right now.
I read something like this gem and I don't see how something like that is outside the current forum rules. Maybe some posts were deleted and I can't see them, but I don't know that and possibly there should be something there that shows it was deleted. (like reddit has)
Anyway, the aforementioned thread isn't spammy, completely civil(through insults were traded) and had little to no profanity. Sure it was getting a touch off-topic, but I don't see any problem with some guys enjoying a game that can be pretty boring with a semi-afk developer.(different rant topic :)
I've been around the forum for quite a while and I feel like the moderation comes in waves and is not standard across the board. I don't know if this is because the 'chosen' moderators do not read the forum daily/weekly/monthly or because they feel like they haven't moderated something in a while and feel the urge to 'lay down the law'.

Hi, semi-afk developer here. Regarding that thread, nothing was deleted. That forum section is meant for questions about the game and it had degenerated into a pointless back-and-forth, so it was locked. Forum sections like questions and bugs aren't meant for those kinds of exchanges because it takes away value from those seeking information. If the already extremely lax moderation in sections like that are too much for you, others like complaints and misc are moderated much more loosely so feel free to go nuts there.

Why not move the thread instead of killing it?
|
Because it shouldn't be his duty to move a thread that started out in the correct place by asking a certain question that veers off into another direction due to the posters within that thread.
|
We can continue the fun here Draoi. :)
|
not you can't, thats ignorant.
|
I'm proud to be responsible for a forum gem :)
|
Umm. I never called you ignorant. So, ya.
|
|
|
So what is the definition of "awesome" in "your neck of the woods"?
|
|
|
HEY GUYS DON'T GET OFFTOPIC OR ELSE SHIT GONNA GET LOCKED.
|
NAH, WE BE IN THA SAFE ZONE!
|
SO IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS OFF TOPIC IS THE "SAFE ZONE"?!?

^^ this post, I'm glad to see this forum is same as ever :D:D
OP's gem of a thread case in point, this forum is good for teh lulz :D:D

Bots is still bots, I see.
I used to play a very long time ago. I would tend very much to agree that the best moderators would almost never moderate at all. But I see no problem with the closing of the mentioned thread.
So far as the contents of the previous thread?
I found the whole thing fairly enjoyable... but stupid.
And the word "ignorant" is often used in a manner that isn't actually meant to suggest the person being called ignorant isn't being accused of being stupid or whatever.
But ignoring all the slang usages (and they are many) of the word, I think it only makes proper sense that if Alan was indeed trying to call someone stupid/wrong then he wouldn't have originally stated that "that is ignorant" and he would have stated that "you are ignorant"
More than that, if someone on the internets wants to name-call like that then it's only natural for them to defend their comments. I mean, the e-peen factor is always huge in these kind of forums.
I think it's asinine to think anything different. Not that it ever matters... the forums are the forums and matters of rightness and wrongness seldom matter.
But Alan's comments are fine and the 'tarts suggesting otherwise are being incredibly stupid and in fact acting quite ignorant.

@Malachorn
I don't care where and what context it's used in, ignorant is not meant as something positive.
"That is ignorant" where "that" is referring to a comment or remark from somebody. It's a more subtle way of saying somebodies opinion is uneducated and perhaps narrow minded, rather than just calling the person a fool.
Since I'm thinking differently from what you stated, I suppose that makes me ignorant thanks to the last sentence of yours. But from the rest of what you said, ignorant can mean awesome so I'll just take it as a compliment.

Gpof, you're so fucking "ignorant"!

Once upon a time, there was this guy who thought that toilet-water tasted good. He was a real hard-ass about it, and kept telling his friends that it tasted good.
"No it doesn't, you idiot!" they told him. They explained the obvious reasons why it wouldn't taste good: shit, piss, menstrual blood and vomit are what go into toilets, and none of that is supposed to taste good.
"Well, back in my town, we love our toilet water."
"Well fine, then, drink it."
Everyone gathered around the toilet, he dunked his face into that murky abomination. That instant, he knew he had fucked up. "This doesn't taste good at all!" he thought.
But he couldn't admit he was wrong. "No sir, at least I will hang on to my dignity!"
"It tastes fine!" he told his friends. "Mighty fine, in fact," he claimed, choking back both tears and his gag reflex. "I want some more of that action!" he said, as he dunked his head once again, partly so people wouldn't see him crying.
Everyone told him that he was wrong. They all knew he was just pretending to like it because of his pride, and they all felt sorry for him. "Just stop it, Allen! It's okay, you were wrong! So you thought toilet water was good, it was bad, you were wrong, big fucking deal. Stop punishing yourself!"
But he couldn't admit he was wrong. Not to this bunch of losers. "I can't admit I'm wrong. Never!" he thought, as he gulped down cupfuls of the "best damn thing he'd ever tasted."
People shook their heads. Poor kid, they thought, as everyone left and started to go home. And still he clung to his claim, that toilet water tasted good.
So, after all that, all he accomplished was making everyone think (probably right to a certain degree) he was stupid, and filling his stomach with shit and piss.
At that point, Malachorn walked into the room, and told everyone that toilet water was an "acquired taste."
Fin.

I think hayabassie is rubbing off on you, neps. Reading the first sentence I almost thought this was another random post related to plumbing facts.
|
Naturally, I typed this with a part of hayabassie inside me.

What "part" of hayabassie was inside you? ^^

It was kinda dark, I have a pretty strong hunch, but I can't say I'm 100% sure.

/shivers as the ghost of Malachorn passes through

...or, sir neps, you could realize Alan was speaking about the concept of hyper-leveling a bot through a system that abuses whores where it allows you to reach level 100 in a matter of minutes (a level that a 'noob' in the game actually thinks is supposed to be a huge deal and quite the accomplishment).
Yes, Alan I think it's fair to call the ability to do that in this game 'ignorant.'
To be fair, I watched a lot of G.I. Joe in my youth and realize that knowledge is power. Perhaps you were G.I. Joe-less and do not have such a luxury?
(yes, I, unlike Alan, have now been trying to insinuate that you are indeed some kind of ignorant)
obligatory 'smiley' to halfheartedly suggest I'm not a huge d-bag:

I don't think you should talk to an Eternal member as such. They may attack you to lower your oh so precious green ratio and try to make you nc your bot or quit, better watch out man they are so fierce :o

Not everyone in Eternal is like that. Only Draoi and neps and Rivan and rith and gpof and nos and blitz and maybe bazza if he's bored. Oh wait, that's pretty much everyone. Nevermind.
Hi Mal!
|
I only attack people who attack me or my bots. I could care less if anyone speaks to me in a manner I don't like.
|
But Rivan is definitely like that. He'll rape you for spite, even if he wins only 50.01% of the time.
|
You should ask him to stop. Or I'll continue :P
|
Malachorn agrees! Wooo.
Haha.
|
That's just cruel. We had a laugh and that's it. Mal is encouraging you to keep drinking the toilet water for his own sick amusement. Like some guy convincing a retarded kid that eating that white dog poop is going to make him cool.
|
You're such a badass Neps.
|
'Rivan' attacked my brother. So he said to his clan make me nc they said no so he reset!
|
|
|
Naturally, as is every motherfucker who argues on the internet. We're all badasses here.

"She" had a "super DICK mode?" Sounds like my kind of gal. :)
