Give Respect and Dignity, build a GOOD COMMUNITY

Couldn't agree more - I would do the same - key word being "Quietly"; I do think the punishments previously listed sound a little harsh, but why are people surprised when their hand gets slapped in the cookie jar?

Because some people think they are special.

You may be referring to myself but I assure you I didn't "blast" anyone.

Check my previous posts via username.

I won't call your comments blasts, but yes, you did make some comments on the whiner threads that were probably not needed. Do you agree with that? I'm not trying to call you out as a mean poster, we all make unnecessary comments from time to time, even myself.

Hey guys -

Thanks for this thread. I think this is an important discussion to have and I want to make it clear that my PM box is ALWAYS open if you think something is wrong or you'd like to talk about policies or changes.

We've been working to have a much more open and tolerant forum and I will gladly check over any infraction or other moderation issue you have if you think it was improperly put upon you (please don't talk about this stuff in the forums - that rule still stands!) but please know that the mods are doing their job and it seems that right now we're having issues with folks insulting each other and/or the team and that's not okay. If you have a problem or are unhappy, let your voice be heard. Please - that's welcome here. But please try and stay away from the attacks.

You see, I disagree that the majority of the posts on here are people calling one another names. Now today was definitely different though and I think we all know why that is. IMO, today was the exception and not the rule.

Ok...maybe the "majority" is a bit much, I stand corrected.

I know that it comes and goes in waves....mostly any time Trion announces a change to the game. Go back to the grenade change, or the weapon change....or any other change that has been announced.....that is when you see this ugly monster pop up.

I understand frustration.....and fear of change. The truth is that the game is going to change and you either have to roll with it or leave. Trion is a business and they will do what they feel is best for the game. Do I always agree....no but at the same time....there may be a reason for it and in the end it may be better....we don't know until they do it.

To vent is one thing.....but remember something, the more hostile someone is....the more chance they will be ignored. Coming from a Customer Support role (IRL)...I go out of my way for people that treat me with respect and dignity. Those that yell, scream and whine......go to the bottom of my pile and I "MAY" get to them.....eventually.

You may want to read the 3rd post in this thread. Re the whinging threads, my comments may have been unwarranted but I felt were deserved.
I have made my apologies. That's that.

Its all good. We all do it from time to time. I just try and stay away from fueling the A-holes by not commenting on them or in their threads, whether they deserve it or not.

Given your apology, I'd like to apologize to Crixda for posting a stupid eye-rolling gif in response to a comment he made in another thread. That was not a productive post, and I am sorry for that.

This forum needs a group hug.

If only all the whiners and a-holes would just give the same respect that they receive... oh... err... never mind.
