is what I'm talking about I don't care much for forum personalities and blahgrandtoreno
That's paradoxical, likely just an out from responsibility(I'm too cool to care about the effectiveness of my persona) , it's a tool any good player or leader should understand. I just didn't care enough to find the spelling of your nameis what I'm talking about I don't care much for forum personalities and blah
Naa you were just on the top of the farming list was meant to be light hearted to people who I'd seen before who were farming when they could have been not farming I'm trying to save your wrists! That carpal tunnelOr likewise, you know exactly how to spell my name after searching it in the rankings and mailing me for being a farming 'n00b' but need to uphold the 'Im too cool to know how to spell your name' vibe making the conscious effort to do so

Silly people, calling someone out for ingame things is the point the point isn't to whine every time someone forcefully disagrees with you. The important distinction is to not constantly harass someone say real life insults ext ext. This is what happened right before the stupid toxic shit. Propaganda, increasing and decreasing others public image or altering it is the entire point it's politics and propaganda but hugs and love. Now calling you a moron who lives in his mother's basement and your girlfriend left you ext ext this shit which takes place all too often that toxic and not in the realm of the game or image. Fair enough distinction for you?Oh look, a topic about toxicity in the forums turns toxic.
Who could have seen that coming.
Hang inthere, he's been preparing to win w100 and quit.
You want interesting discussion? Be the change you want to see, the forums were lively and interesting when the game first started and it wasnt that popular, they had people talking doing it in character, interviews where they stayed in character calling each other infidels, then you had world wars where people would do real life style propaganda, then you had interesting and vivacious characters who would debate troll, make light hearted jabs at each other. It's not a stretch to say that when I was actively trying to involve the community that I personally altered both atmosphere and quantity of posters in my world, Ive never been the best at that sort of thing, Ive always been more of a debater, but it's not particularly hard, I imagine this is why I have about 6 people who regularly check in on the 95 forums that they never played just to see whats going on. And again this isnt really my area of expertise
If you ask me it's not only the quantity but the quality of the person that has diminished there are few if any personalities anymore outside well myself, grandtoreno, brad and many of the people who exist dont do it with style or flair debating making light hearted jabs, you guys are for lack of a better word complete assholes with no flair imagination or good spirt to your insults you're mean angry little annoying peons.
Complaining about a dead forum is not providing a solution and is really not helpful.
This is, however, a big issue in my book: any kind of personal threats, those kinds of pictures... It's completely unacceptable and I find it nothing less than disgusting and pathetic that some people would do it, stoop that low. On the forums, naturally, this kind of thing would render in a permanent ban. Because we have rules. But it haven't happened on the forums, or in-game(?), but rather on external communication platforms like Skype and Discord, correct? Which unfortunately we can't moderate, or take action on. All I can do about it is disapproving of it, but that hardly will stop the kind of individual that just want to bash on others.It's part of the problem who wants to keep getting real world specific personal insults out here, it's become a fairly toxic community. I've had specific threats to myself and family, images of me dead, in porn all created in the few months I've been back supported by and defended as part of the game in the forums. This is certainly a major issue with it.
Yes outside of the forums and game, however the actions were when my co got fed up and posted about it widely defended as part of the game and to stop whining, as I said the quality of person playing this game has certainly gone down. It is no more accurately summed up than in this thread where people think *GranTorinov and I arguing about projecting certain personas is viewed as toxic and people stepping far outside of the boundaries is just part of the game. People don't like to examine their own views when they're dumber, statistically speaking. The constant harassment of certain members like balian/sir Cornish and others certainly happens here which I've brought up to you personally. And the real life insults about exes and stuff certainly happens in the forums they're certainly not moderated particularly well. And the moderators I've seen aren't active or adept enough to notice subtle things like this. Or outright sometimes the n word was on 95 for a few days and 0 bans.

First of all, not aloud to or going to discuss specific moderation cases here.Yes outside of the forums and game, however the actions were when my co got fed up and posted about it widely defended as part of the game and to stop whining, as I said the quality of person playing this game has certainly gone down.

I think these forums are a reflection of the world itself.... I mean the core 4 Ks haven't even filled out yet ... I feel like this is the smallest world yet but could be wrong
Plus I don't know many who were excited for a scavenging world
