Some of the forum sections are just bleh. I've seen people go to housing thread and make a suggestion to get shouted down by the same 2-3 people then it devolves time after time into some kind of mud slinging competition and derails off into how much dirt someone can toss on someone from other threads. Basically stuff that needs to be nipped in the ass cheeks severely and swiftly deleted out of the thread to keep the conversations on track. As a slightly newer poster to the forums I lurked for awhile before signing up to use them. I also had problems just getting my forum account going, as every time I tried to log in it said I had insufficient permissions to basically log in. One day out of the blue I tried again and was able to finally log in. Might be why the forums seem devoid of new posters is they are having trouble getting signed up to use them in the first place.

Someone actually seemed to imply that I wanted a pvp suggestion I made to sound like turning the whole game into a gank fest which is what I expressly did not want, and explained how to go about keeping entirely separate instances of an area that pvp is possible in as opposed to just making the whole game a no holds barred pvp gankfest like they seem to think I suggested. So people bring their own incapability of reading to many threads as well. I can't blame moderators for feeling their time is wasted on NA forum. The toxicity and general lack of etiquette of any reasonable kind is very in yo face here in almost all areas of the forum for all to see. And if one account is actioned against, it's a quick contest to fill the void with the next abrasive person it seems. Who can be the next class clown, who can be the next mr. unpopular opinion guy, etc. Can you honestly blame them for giving up on the wasteland? I can't. Do they have an obligation to police their own forum a bit better? Sure. But it's their company, they gonna run this the way they want to regardless of what we feel they are obligated to do. What is our recourse? Call mom and dad and complain about it? Get on reddit or "the twitter" and call for boycotts of s.e. because someone's feelings got hurt? Go ahead. Send a letter to the BBB? Or just do like me and chuckle and try not to let what some one that probably hasn't brushed their teeth in 5 or more days bother you and just enjoy the game.
