How to behave on the internet.

I really was going to launch in to a diatribe about how much I loath the posters
on this site

Hi, welcome to the internet.

I find it a little ironic that you post "How to behave on the internet" when you seem relatively new to it. But enjoy your stay!

Sadly this is all too true. Unless they ever get serious about moderating the forums around here, nothing will change.

And no its nothing new to me. Doesnt mean I have to like the situation.

It applies to virtually EVERY forum on the internet ever created to appeal to a mass gaming crowd (as opposed to a select group). It's the internet. People are asshats.

This seems so new to you guys.

I can imagine. At least you can rejoice in the fact that we're not being flooded by ASCII pictures and facepalm images.

Is that a reference to Post count?

Hi, welcome to the internet.

Meaning? You can't change things for the better? In order to change others in a (hopefully positive) way one must start with oneself.

Lol, no. It refers to the fact that the internet's been like this since the days of AOL and beyond. Possibly even earlier.

If we could change it, we already would have. We've had over two decades to do so. We coulda done it before the internet became so widespread. But no, it won't ever happen. All we can do is accept the fact that there will be asshats and there will be cool people somewhere in the crowd of asshats.

Even in the most well-moderated forums, I've found there to be a significant amount of asshattery. Most forum mods don't ban for stupidity, sadly.
