Forum outrage! An explaination?

[Recycler]

Forum outrage? I've seen no forum outrage. This is quite an average MMO forum, tracking it since it launched.

Deal with it. The bloat of redundant arguments stem from people who think they are in some superior position and have to teach others a lesson about it. More than often this is pointless. Learn to stop yourself.

1) If you don't have anything valuable to add, like the first post in the thread (or multiple) which represent your opinion instead of just reposting what others have said. HUGE amounts of redundance and arguments saved.

2) Do not get into pointless arguments with people (refrain from posting "complaints about complaints", "self-elected", "whining", etc.). Keep it technical. HUGE amounts of off-topic, bad-looking threads saved.

3) The moderators will take care of anything else. This is not your job. Use the "report" function if you feel it's necessary, but leave it to that.

There will always be posts of people you think are stupid, dumb, and whatnot. Just like in real life. They are not the problem (as they are a minority), the "problem" are those who don't stick to the points I outlined above.

This is my opinion on why threads like this one exist. Though these people may in fact be a minority, they're a very vocal minority. Using a bullhorn to announce their desires and then using an even louder bullhorn to complain when their desires are not met according to their expectations. It's left me with a bad taste in my mouth for the forums and why I don't really read a lot of threads anymore. (Which unfortunately, leaves this minority seeming like the majority)

Meh.

They aren't as vocal as you might think. They appear to be very vocal because a lot of people respond to them. If there is little echo, they calm down.

That's why I tried to explain that the people who continually feed them with responses are making up the actual problem. If there wasn't such a huge "you fanboi / you self-entitled / gtfo / grass?! wtf" echo plus redundant arguments every second page, the "bad" threads would disappear within hours.
