For the bloody love of christ...

[Infernus]

...I used to enjoy coming to PSU, really I did... great community, nice people... sure there was an arguement every so often but people moved by it... For the love of christ what happened? In the past week a large number of threads have been locked becuase of arguing... visiting these forums, talking to the people... it's supposed to be fun, not flames, fun and with every argument that starts theres less and less of that...

What happened? And don't go blaming a single person... we're all responsible, we all ahve the power to end it and we don't... I don't wanna be part of soemthing that is nothing but a flame-fest...

What the hell are you going on about? A few locked threads don't mean anything.

Whatever it is, i know i'm a part of it. I'm trying to come to a solution with Hamma and a few other moderators.

I'm getting sick of going into threads, posting on topic, and having 3-4 people tag team me from no where with 100% harrasment posts.

I never do that shit, and I don't appreciate it being done to me. We'll see what Hamma decides to do. PSU is getting uglier and uglier as long as these people are allowed to run around posting such blatant hate filled harrasment posts.

Who would you say joined most recently when it started? Tek and Oni used to get into fights, but from what I personally see, Tek says something, Oni or Trig disagrees, takes great offense, insults him, Tek insults back, flames ensue.


But in this last post I personally believe Trig was the one who decided to start a fight. Tek just posted a good article, said some stuff that wasn't really offensive, unless you're super thin-skinned for some reason, Trig decided to say his girl was faking it, and didn't give a crap about him, Tek was obviously pissed, flames ensued. I'll go look at it again.

It's not the locked threads... its the constant over-opinionated arguing thats been going on recently... Ok so someone doesn't agree with your opinion welcome to the world of free-thinking people... move on, stop fighting, or leave...

locked threads don't occur at a rate of 3 an hour.

This feels too much like a damned soap opera

Oni isn't a part of it, really, Duck. The problem is mostly Trig, quite a bit Dhark, and a bit of SDM.

Oh, and I wouldn't mind if they simply disagreed with me and posted a small flame. What I don't like is having 3-4 of them come in and not even disagree with me, just simply flame the fuck out of me for posting on "their" forums.

All I'm going to say on the topic is that we didn't have problems before Tek came back.

What are you talking about? I've been back for over a month. The problem didn't start until like 3 days ago.

A handful of people decided they could become cool by bashing and harrasing me. Hamma didn't crack down on it immediately, so they assumed it was ok.

Don't post senceless shit like that, it doesn't help.

And for the record I am neutral... I'm not getting involved in a pointless arguement over the opinions of other people... if you wanna argue about opinion use PMs, just stop ruining perfectly good threads with flame-wars...

[I Hate Pants]

I guess I must of missed something. I haven't noticed any heat on the boards lately.

[Mr1337Duck]

No, when Tek came back, things were just fine for a while, then some people decided to start messing with him, and then it started again. Tek personally has my respect, so take my views as you will.

100% agreed. Hopefully a solution will come in this thread. I'm sick of seeing perfectly good threads getting hijacked and raped.

Thanks Duck. I appreciate it, as well as the other people who have bothered looking for everything at a distance and seeing where, in each thread, the flaming starts occuring.

I'm refering to when you started getting embedded in some of the more in-depth (Read: Controversial) threads.

Also, don't be a hypocrite. If I make an observation on what's going on, I'm gonna post it. Telling me that my post is not helpful is hypocritical, cast in that light.

I think Hamma made the solution pretty clear in a previous locked thread. You need to tone it down or he'll be enforcing a bit of a vacation on you.

I agree it sickens me ...makes me tired.
