Note about comments on your personal walls

lisa

Rude comments to other members will not be tolerated. If you do not have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Attacking people on their personal walls is inappropriate. Sending pms with rude comments and inappropriate language is not acceptable either. You don't all have to get along, but you do have to respect each other.

Thank you, hopefully this will help cut that down.

(Does this count for doing it towards known spambots too?)

NEVER! Be as rude as you like, without swearing, to spambots!

I'm not too sure this will cut it down at all, to be honest. I mean, look at the post about flagging and when to use them. Doesn't stop a lot of people. :P

It is good to have this, however. :)

Oh it was you who removed those wall posts from (ok ill remove the names bulk)

Thanks a lot for doing that :)

Thanks lisa and Im glad that you read my status about it :)

While we are talking about proper behavior on people's walls, it is annoying when people off topic someone elses post that's in their wall. There is no excuse for that, people should be able to post anything they want on their wall besides anything inappropriate or offensive so there should be no reason for the off-topic. (Not saying this has ever happened to me, but have witnessed it happening to others.)

Dark, this counts as calling people's names out in a negative fashion.

You don't need to mention what type of post was made but since this thread is talking about negative wall comments it isn't best to name call on the forums because...I think you know where I'm going.

So telling someone to knock off their unacceptable attitude/behaviour or to tell them to stop abusing flags is rude?

Well, people think this stuff can change even if we ignore it. Though, this is the reason why people don't change.

Well it is rude..but there isn't any other way.

There's a reason why the older generation of people had fathers beating their children with belts and stuff.

I do agree with you, but perhaps it takes two hands to clap.. Perhaps an admin could stay around and help prevent such an air of hostility? Humans are creatures of habits, and they do need a little jolt there and then from a voice of reason.. Remember when you told Henry:" Henry please stop with the flags you seem to have problems with them" he stopped, and became unnaturally reasonable.

Perhaps of just slapping the right hand so hard, it would be nice if you could some investigation before making a verdict of one-sided guilt!

Besides, its in people's blood. When there is an absence of a leader, people will naturally try to solve their own problems by taking leadership.

The problem is not an absence of leadership. The problem is forum users who are immature, arrogant, entitled, rude, unable to exhibit self-control, and sometimes, downright mean-spirited. This is not the kind of behavior that's just "in people's blood." It's behavior that people learn, and sometimes the most effective way to teach them to act like decent human beings instead of a bunch of snarky little brats is to slap a few wrists every once in a while.

On the subject, is there anyway to turn on notifications for wall posts on other peoples walls? Like if they reply?

I beg to differ. Whilst it is true that the primal part of a humans brain would often resort to violence and on the offensive side, we become civilised under the leadership of a voice of clarity. Whilst I half agree with your statement of slapping wrists, I pray that you read my full statement and see that my problem was not with the action of 'slapping' but instead who the person slaps.
In darklord's view, seeing that lisa has removed such comments, won't it lead him to thinking that what he is doing is right? Definitely he has done something to stir up some potatoes. I simply ask that we should be more open minded and not be 'This is wrong hence I stab you' kind of zonked-out-robot rule-following blind freaks.



Send me, unknown, and Dracul to hell, but even if the three of us stop, the other side of the wall will just keep growing vines. Darklord will still receive negative comments, and continuously sending people to hell might just as well encourage darklord to continue as such, and thus creating the vicious cycle of a problem that will never be solved.

Unfortunately life is not fair. All I can comment on is what I see. In the future, maybe instead of half a dozen people posting negative things repeatedly on someone's wall those people will let me know what is going on. This also goes for posting things on walls when someone gets banned or put in time out etc. The negativity is going to stop now. If you don't like someone don't talk to them. Pretend they don't exist.

As for leadership, this is a forum. Be kind to others and follow the rules. There is your leadership. If you can't act like reasonable over 13 year olds, you will not be welcome to stay. Be happy and get along. This is a game and games are supposed to be fun. HAVE FUN, DANG IT!!!

Oh come on Lisa... He literally asked for it...
UNLEASH YOUR INNER PRANKSTER!
;)

Seriously though, given the amount on in game abuse that happens, it would be nice if people could just get a life, and realise that there are more important things in life than attacking other people. Seriously, what do you gain from it?
Some weird twisted satisfaction from the knowledge you're hurting someone else's feelings?

Really people who do that are pathetic in my opinion.
They make themselves feel good by pulling other people down.

darklord11

I don't understand why everyone is mad at me! I don't off-topic, disagree or flag out of shire spite. If I see something that deserves one of those three I will express my opinion. But if someones life is based off of points on a forum... well thats just sad.

If I have wronged you on the forum just politely mention it to me in a PM. No need for a public shaming.

and @junktruck98 I dont want anyone getting sent to hell. You are also negative towards me again...

Everywhen

SIGH...
OK. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!

@Junktruck98 and @Darklord11
Whatever issues you two have would you kindly please just work things out.
I'm sorry, but you two are always being passive aggressive with each other.
It's driving me insane...

You two really just need to work things out.

Darklord11 I know you've recieved some forum abuse, and I'm not accusing you of anything, however I just want to remind you that specifically targeting someone by disagreeing with the majority of their posts counts as abuse to, and if you were to do that, you would be just as bad as the people who abused you.

I sincerely apologise if you just genuinely disagree with those people's opinions.


And Junktruck, the problem of over reporting has been addressed in the forum policies, and it would be nice if people respected it.

And yes, I know I shouldn't pull you two out specifically, but this vendetta has gone on long enough.

You both love Deepworld, and both enjoy using the forums, so why can't you just get along?
It really isn't that hard. Just make up and get on with your gaming :)


Also I think this should also apply to disagrees in some ways.
Disagreeing just because someone else disagreed with you, or because you don't like that person is just childish.
And #6 also should mention posting on someones wall about how many flags/disagrees they give.

lisa said:

Here are some important guidelines for creating topics for discussion and posting in general on the forum.

Flagging

1. If you are going to post something that you know is off topic, don't post it - even if you say you know it is off topic. Either start your own thread, thereby making it on topic in that thread, or pm the person it is directed at and talk to them privately. You are going to get off topic flags if your post is off topic - that's what they are there for.

2. DO NOT flag people just because they flagged you. Be the bigger person and move on.


3. DO NOT flag every post from a forum member to show you don't like them. That is abusing the flagging system.


4. Be sparing with your flags. If you don't agree, use the disagree flag and maybe go on to explain why you disagree rather than just flagging and running.


5. Do not take the flags you receive too seriously. Not everyone is going to agree with everyone else. That's just how life goes. It isn't the end of the world that you received flags.

6. DO NOT post on someone's wall about how many flags they have, or why you think everyone hates them and gives them flags etc. If you wouldn't want someone to post it on your wall, don't post it on someone else's.


7. Don't use the off topic flag on wall activity posts. There is no off topic; it isn't a thread.

8. When in doubt, ignore and move on. Everyone is here to have fun and talk about Deepworld. Remember, that is the main purpose of the forum

9. SMILE and know that you are awesome!
