Version Update coming soon?

[Urteil]

This cracker Meme you are all trying to invent is terrible.



Trying toooooooo hard.

I wish to edit my last post slightly:
Only against people who don't realise 90% of everyone disagrees with everything they say, are unable to read posts properly, can't take a hint that they're not wanted and need to be bullied off a forum.

Nobody needs to be bullied off a forum and anyone who feel the need to bully anyone is the one who needs to leave. You cannot decide who everyone wants and doesn't want, nor can you do anything about it if you could. This is why the ignore list exists. If someone bothers you, you ignore list them. Just do it, instead of making a big production out of how much you hate somebody.

Is that why you single-handedly got the thread for staff consolidation locked...and then the second one after you were explicitly told in OP to NOT post in that thread (which you did)?

OPs don't make the rules. The people aggressively attacking me had just as much to do with theads getting locked.

It is in fact a rule that you cannot disallow specific people from participating (in fact, practically anything you can imagine is against the rules because they're so broad...). In the interest of being the better one, this is all I have to say on that subject. Use the ignore list and move on.

[Nynja]

So you were unwelcomed in a thread, yet you continued to post there, and wonder why you got attacked?

Care to quote this rule, about how "you cannot disallow specific people from participating"? I'm having problems locating the forum rules, ToS, whatever...help me out?

[Rearden]

There is one rule I found though, let me quote it:

* Posting that constitutes discrimination against another forum member or group (also including forming groups for the purpose of discrimination), insults, slander, libel, harassment of a group or individual.

I would consider anyone bashing members from other websites (websites which are the best obviously) to be in violation of this rule, and as such will have any post violating said rule report spammed and deleted. (Since that's all it takes)

Back on topic, much to the disappointment of all the trolls, I'm sure:

In all actuality, in this case the effort is appriciated.

The time the servers are down has absolutely zero to do with the contents of the update. Both on the server and on the client, its just a software patch. The reason maintenance usually take hours is because of the work they do that is not related to a patch of the game.

Really. So it's just a coincidence that after 9 years of several hours long updates that the test server comes online and suddenly we're looking at 1:30 downtime. Coincidences are funny like that. They pop up at the heckest of times. Makes people think. Forms conspiracy theories. All that good stuff.
