Apartments need Rent

Or rather, once it gets brought up (especially when ripped from the context of the post) it turns into a flame war against me and I'm getting tired of some random idiot on the forums pointing to a four year old post and then people going "YOU ARE THE SPAWN OF ZODIARK AND MUST BE PURGED LIKE THE ASCIAN YOU ARE!". How tolerant would YOU be of people doing that EVERY SINGLE TIME someone quotes a four year old post?

How often are they doing it because they now know they can get a rise out of you every time?

Learn to ignore the baiters who enjoy inciting drama. You had what appeared to be a solid suggestion at the time based on the housing situation at the time. Whether or not SE implemented because they saw your suggestion in the forum or they had already been considering it independently, they also felt it had merit as a solution. That it is now part of the game is ultimately SE's responsibility, not yours.

The best response to the baiters is no response at all. If they stop getting a reaction out of you, they will get bored and find someone else to target.

Actually it does. Besides, why should you care when you're not the one that keeps getting flamed for their four year old post.

So you agree that your proposition was a bad idea? People wouldn't be flaming it if they didn't think it stunk.

There is no good solution for the current housing problems unless SE fundamentally changes how things work (like start leveraging instanced housing for example). That much should be obvious to everyone posting here....

On this we agree, there is no easy solution. I think part of the problem is we've now lived through a "housing crisis" as so many would put it, that everyone just wants a change.

The initial issue was more the idea of the timer, which really does suck.

anyway I think my primary issue is that a lot of the ideas you put forth are egregiously bad for one of two reasons 1) they aggressively attack people who worked to get what they got and 2) they'd be extremely punishing to new players and fcs which is sort of going against the idea of what you're trying to help propose solutions for.

Not trying to incite an argument but I think your comment here should really be the end of it: "There is no good solution for the current housing problems unless SE fundamentally changes how things work." Anything we the community propose has the potential to become explosive, terrible and altogether ridiculous.

None of this has any relevance to the conversation that was had. It was a simple “wasnt this the person who did X?” “wait really? proof!” “heres what theyre referring to!”

No context was needed.

Honestly, if they want to be mad at someone, I'm right here.

Though I would still like to know what exactly is going on. Either they're proud of their idea being implemented, so in that case who cares if anyone associates it with them? Or they realize it's turned out to be a terrible mistake and is making a lot of people miserable so they are trying to distance themselves from it. Who knows.

We're 10 days in and OP has not yet come forward saying this was a ruse, a joke, a tool to "start conversation" as some of their other posts have claimed to be after the community universally pans the suggestion within.

Is it possible the OP actually thinks there is merit in this idea?

Well in all honesty, you all are enabling their folly be it trollishness or serious lol.

Some of the comments in this thread smell like people are just looking to harass OP. Please everyone, I don't care if you think another member of this forum deserves to be treated poorly, let's try and be civil.

This. As much as I disagree with their idea and as much as I dislike how they've been talking to me, I'd very much appreciate it (and I'm sure others in this thread would too) if everyone tries to remain civil and respectful. There's no reason to nag or harass the OP. It's an idea. That's all.
