Rudeness getting out of hand
I have noticed an increasing trend of rudeness and hostility on the forum. I have been receiving it much more lately --- when I have been doing nothing in the way of insulting or attacking anyone (though I will repsond to someone who starts such a thing with me). Maybe it's time the moderators start cracking down on such individuals. I do know this forum is more free than others, but it seems the trend of rudeness is getting worse.

Sometimes you just have to shrug it off and take everything with a grain of salt. It's hard to convey what attitude someone is in with words. It's easy to take things the wrong way especially when something is met to be a joke. I hope your not talking about the "Other" forum. Rudeness is a fine art in there. :lol:

I've noticed it as well. Just ignore it, don't reply to it and make matters worse, and use the "report this post to a moderator" and hope they start dealing with it more severly.

I'm usually in the software forum and that's where I've noticed it lately.

I think a lot of people's patience are wearing thin for a lot of subjects:
My personal pet peeve is folks posting thread about obvious bootlegs and asking if it is legit. I would say, based on previous posts of members, they KNOW it is NOT LEGIT. Its a joke, and I am not sure why people continue to post these threads. I think people asking questions like that should be suspeneded immediately. |
I see your point chanster.
Like every problem there are two sides to this in most cases. A lot of rude replies, are due to flame bait type original posts. Both need to be dealt with to resolve the issue. |
**** that.

Bando brings up a good point. [nods sagely]

Use the ignore button. It will drive those who are trying to annoy you insane. ;)
I set someone on it and life is a lot easier. To me they do not exist at all. |
Originally posted by BandoButters **** that. Originally posted by joltaddict Bando brings up a good point. [nods sagely] Screw you hippies, I'm goin' home! :p Okay, okay, in all seriousness, I agree with you in principle, David, but I reserve the right to be a smart-ass to my fellow Otters... they expect nothing less of me. :D |

Yeah, don't be afraid of your Ignore List. There are a lot of people here; you can afford to ignore 1 or 30 of them. If someone attacks me personally and not my opinions, I just add him to my Ignore List and move on. If only people wouldn't quote these fools so much ... :p

I think the rudeness would lessen if less dipshits posted here.

I actually know SmackyTheFrog04 in real life, and believe it or not that is his real name! :eek: I agree that he's a dipshit, though.
|
I put groucho, jack and rypro on my ignore list once but then the forum was just one big blank page. :D
|
Bando has a point. *nods sagely*.
|
I had no ****ing point. **** off.

Am I still in the Other Forum? -confused-
|
Jeez, I expected to see a lot of replys in this thread... but nothing.
Humm...weird. |
