Stay polite here please.
If you want to play E-bully and shoot down new people, go to the OoT.
If you want to post here, dont start flaming people just for their bad grammar and spelling.
You can tell them that they need to clean up their post before they can get an answer, but that's it.

At this point, if people continue to flame we will start to scare new posters with genuine questions away.
And at least for me, that is not a good thing.

Azuarc has been forced to nuke a bunch of posts here not too long ago, and for me at least that was a clear sign that we are going too far.
I'd like it if Az didnt have to do that again.

And yes North, that means you too.
Even though people here like you (me included) the eternal flame posts with nothing new in them are starting to get more and more annoying.
Just keep it in the OoT where it belongs.
And take your groupies with you on the way out.

I agree with the sentiment. The rogue forums occasionally get like that, though I don't think many of the admins pay attention to them.

Really the only time I flame is when people post something as fact that's truly and completely wrong (i.e. a post I just flamed over there saying kidney shot is a great group ability).

Speaking as fairly noob poster I can verfy the fact that posting here is pretty daunting at first, you tend to cringe when you see that your post has been replied to by one of the "heavy mob"
Yes there is a lot of replies that appear somewhat OTT but i have to say some posts deserve what they get.
But in my opinion a little less flaming would make this place nicer to visit.

A little allsong sounds appropriate:

Excitement abounds, I almost can't wait
Relax, I don't want your baby, I already ate
Though I do tend to generally flame, flame things that... don't fight back, hehh

I see this forum, but what do I see?
What shall I flame them with, sarcasm or irony?
Running from me, sure you would think...
He's a pathological bloodthirsty homocidal maniaaac!

I'd flame kittens and puppies and bunnies
I'd flame toddlers and teens and then more
You see a wife, I see a widow
But what then? Can't you see?
What I flame foooooooor?

I want to incinerate and decapitate
I want to melt, want to melt some psyches!
Watching the newbies, oh what do they call it?
Aaah, "Grieve"!

I suppose being an ********* there's not much to life
A soul is needed, for lovin', feelin'!
How does all this not make me
Aww, what's that word again?
Heeeaaave!

EVERYBODY!

You've nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
your Karma will burn like the heart of the suuuun!
With infinite glee, it's going to be me, that makes you Sub-Deeeeeee

How could I glare, onto this post, and then not stab you?
How could I stare, at your loss and then not laaauuuugh?

I'd cut him in half, and then I'd graft, his head back
Ooontoo his shoulders... Or after I lop it, I'd make a poppet
On top of a staaaaaaaaff!

I am a Lord, that is sometimes bored
Have some urges, and need to fulfill them
After my mayhem, I simply don't what's-the-word?
Caaaaaaaaare!

The stench in the air
The smell of the =4
The carnage that's greater than any waaaar

My legacy
*sigh*
Death becomes...
Me...

I'll make you sub-deeeeeeeeeee......


However, I would say I've been nice lately. But then, it's always nice to have posts dedicated (mostly) to yours truly.

Sorry Aethien. These boards are of use to me as a classleader.
Also, as I've said I've been quite nice lately.

Behave, Aethien. It's not nice to tell someone to **** off.

You aren't a stupid troll girl? :P Kidding, I know you aren't. I have seen some nice posts out of you.

I guess that means for me to stop being a North fanboy. I always like you more Aethien.
#14 Jun 24 2008 at 6:39 AM Rating: Decent
Finally someone said it. Aethien you deserve an award. Because I thought the forums were open to people that needed help with thier game experience. Not spelling. I wish I knew as much as most of you do. But again I learn something new everyday. And posts like the OP keep making me come back. Yeah I may be retarted according to theo. But mostly I probably deserved it due to lack of reading the stickies. But I have learned that now. And thanks to all of you my hunter is now a level 40. You all kept me from taming a level 43 elite cause I thought it would be stronget then an original cat.

Thanks to Aethien and all those that have helped me I will continue to post here. Good day everyone...

Welcome Doro.

North is always mad because dressing up like a woman is looked down upon in present day society.

Sometimes a little "initiation" is well deserved. A little common sense will go a long way in keeping you from getting flamed out, not only a little common sense but a little research as well. It is ok to go to other websites looking for info, allakhazam is great, but some other places have great info as well. Learn a little bit on your own so you can at least ask a question that has some substance.

BTW, i want to pwn in BG's, what is the best pet?

Dammit, posts got nuked and I wasn't there to read them just in time?

Seriously, though, I agree. These forums are supposed to be an informative and helpful experience, not a nostalgic flashback to the high school caste system.

Hopefully I haven't contributed to the latter.

It's one of the reasons I post here less frequently than I used to (and that wasn't much before)- the forums feel more & more like a popularity contest to see who the coolest is, and so many people seem to think that flaming = cool. Mind you, I also post less because I feel that most of the time, anything I have to contribute has already been said. Rate up, Aethien. Smiley: boozing

eh, I've generally tried to be helpful. When I feel a question is stupid or lazy I'll usually just say that and refer them to the sticky.

Personally my view of this board is that it is not here to answer any and all questions. We have the stickies for that. I expect posters who ask questions to have done their homework, and to ask specific questions. There is also room here for lighter discussion style threads about favorite pets or whatever. I don't generally post in those, but I don't mind them.

Alot of the stickies don't have what most people are looking for half the time. Its more end game talk on those. Still helpful. I read them all the time. But if I feel I have not obtained the answer to my question I will either post in another thread or make a new thread with my question. Sometimes questions are answered by yes...reading. But sometimes its just not there :D and that is why we ask you all for help.

I would disagree with you, but if you feel something is missing from the stickies, make an addition post, we'll all edit it, and then it will get added to the sticky. That's the way it works.

While I agree completely with Aethien about this, I hope that is a bit of a cathartic post on his behalf as well since I've seen a few fires lit by him! LOL!

None of us are immune to the impulse to lash out against whatever is annoying us.

I'm just glad that I'm not the lone voice in the darkness anymore... whew!
