Stop Player Bashing

[Greatguardian]

You know who the worst ones are? People who pretend they were "bashed" when they were being jerks themselves are the worst of the worst. They ruin things for everyone and make it harder for legitimate complaints to be heard by the mods/admins. Also applies to being painted a villain - the knowledgeable folks will get run off by posters who who troll/flame bait them then start hiding behind the rules or pretend they were attacked.

I hate back-seat moderators to - people that try to act like they are one of the staff but aren't.

^. If you antagonize someone, they are going to respond in kind. You can't waltz into an informative thread, say "lol you guys are nerdz..." and then get mad when people jump on you =/.

+1 for armchair economists who think their high school macro-econ class makes them expert enough to tell the Community Team how the game needs to develop in order to keep players.

GG, hes upset at me. B/c i said in my opinion an argument based on laziness is invalid. Thinking it a hassle to turn off/on a filter with a simple command sounds like laziness to me. That if a player is gonna disagree with an idea just because on that detail they should at least argue an alternate suggestion and not just dismiss an entire idea b/c of it. He took offense to my opinion b/c he considers himself in the group i labeled lazy. I apologized for it b/c I not only was i tired when I posted the comment but i was border lined bashing players with my opinion. I tried to continue the conversation with him by explaining my reasoning behind my opinion and by informing him I do not see him in set group (i truely don't). I guess i'm bad at explanations b/c he followed me here to harass me bout it. And obviously didn't except my apology. Feel free to read it though, its the last couple pages of "Server-wide Chat Channel". Wouldn't mind your thoughts on the situation. In the end I gave up on trying to explain my reasoning in hopes he would come to understand i meant no offense. But he continued so I decided to put him on my ignore list.

Although I do appreciate that he didn't name names in the post. He is keeping it civil in here. He also does give sound advice, I have seen some of his arguments on other posts. I agreed with most. So maybe it was the way I handled the situation. If so i do apologize again.

This post is entirely off topic, I do hope they install some kind of messaging system soon so we can kinda keep these threads on topic and take arguements to private.
