Constructive Criticism vs Complaining

[Mazi]

So this is not new to anyone that the forums are constantly a place for stupid, stupid, stupid complaining and spamming. However every once in awhile there is a thread where a problem is actually explained and a solution is thought up along with a bunch of lively fun productive discussion.

Now what I want to explain to people is that 1,000 threads complaining about an error that EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS ABOUT is not only obnoxious and a waste of space but just makes you all look like nerd raging fools.

So what should we be doing? What we should of done is all post IN THE ONE THREAD about said issues/errors and voice our concerns instead of ending up with this cesspool of a forum.

Also to clear up some things is the entire use of the words Troll and White Knight which thanks to all of you is now somehow is its own War.

Here is what they are suppose to mean:


A troll is a person who purposely says things for the sole reason of pissing off everyone and getting attention.

A white knight is a person who blindly defends something for no other reason then being way too obsessed with it.

The issue is that Troll now means anyone who disagrees with you and White Knight is anyone who says shut up stop complaining.

TLDR: If you are going to complain atleast keep it organized and stay up to date on the news. White Knights and Trolls are nowhere near as common as you seem to think.

I know you are right, but im afraid it will NEVER happen.

Why?
1.People just ( deliberately ) dont pay attention to the others same threads.
2.They feel like they're special enough to make an identical thread, thinking their words will be louder than the gazillions of people who did the same.
3.Just for the sake of it.
4. A combination of the 3.
