Change "ocd" to "perfectionism"

Hello,

So I actually struggle with ocd instead of what everyone thinks ocd is (being a neatfreak, setting pencils in perfect order/straight) and even though it doesn't bother me THAT much (okay maybe it does) I would like the "ocd" thread to be renamed to "perfectionism" because ocd is actually a very serious mental health condition and it is definitely not what is described there 1 small google search containing: "what is and isn't ocd" will inform you a lot and might also explain as to why to me it's slightly offensive, this is just to inform people I don't mean anything with it this also obviously wasn't done as a serious attempt to hurt people and obviously not everything is about me and it seems not to bother others so keep in mind that this is just a SUGGESTION, no hate. With that said I still think it's kind of silly the thread is called "ocd" but I know it's not intentional and people might dislike me for suggesting this and if it's decided it will stay the same I'm okay with that but I still felt like I could atleast suggest it .

P.s. Perfectionism can be a compulsion and that could be part of ocd but I just feel like perfectionism fits a lot better for that thread.

 

Hello,

Please keep in mind that I waited over a month to post this because I also dislike when small things are seen as overly offensive and I obviously saw that the thread was very very old this is also why my post was worded in the way it was but at the same time ocd isn't actually a joke or anything either so again I'm glad you're willing to listen to alternatives I only recently joined this server (well only seriously started playing again not that long ago) obviously I understand that changing the 3 words to a 13 letter word just because "wow so offensive how could you" would be uneasy. The only reason I suggested this is because "Haha -blank- is a little Ocd herself " is kind of like saying "haha she is a little depressed herself " and maybe that's harsh but calling something so unserious ocd is "toxic" wheter you agree with that or not, obviously you fully realize this and that's why you're willing to listen to alternatives again thank you for being understanding. Please also keep in mind that I'm not that offended I just want to inform people that small errors on a map have nothing to do with actual ocd it's a very serious mental health problem. Obsessive compulsive disorder. Also I see that you're saying "perfectionism" is a bad name I somewhat agree with that but I don't necessarily think it's a bad alternative because the intention of the map fixes is for everything to be perfect right? the literal defintion of pointing out these small mistakes would be "nitpicky" or "pedantic" but someone who is pedantic is obviously a little worse than someone who's nitpicky since pedantic people often want praise for their nitpicking or well be the center of attention and spread their knowledge I suppose you could see this thread as pedantic (though I personally hate being in the spotlight or even suggesting this because it makes me anxious) and the "ocd" thread as nitpicky. I do however think that using an argument as "half the server doesn't understand those words so let's not use those" (which is a broad assumption you are making by the way if people truly want to know what something means when they don't understand they'll probably look it up) is a little silly because I doubt someone who also doesn't call 'ocd' ocd in a different language would call being nitpicky ocd honestly. Other than "nitpicky" there really isn't a good definition/word of what is described in the "ocd" thread. Besides by your assumption you could argue that people who truly post there are probably also not the people who "don't speak the english language" sorry but that's just a really weak argument. Last thing I wanna say is "changing something from 3 letters that is very well known by the internet to 13 letters is very uneasy to say the least" this is exactly the problem it is very well known like that because just like you, people have used it in a way that is incorrect so let's not enforce that?

Alternatives-

Nitpick (literal definition of the thread)
Looks good, looks bad (someone else's idea)
Handymen/handyman (someone who fixes small things around the house is often called a "handyman)
Help me clean up the server! (Better than ocd)
.Wz wizards (since wz files)
Details (meh)
Oops.. (since they are tiny errors then in the thread you could explain what the thread is like you already do now)

I know you want something that sounds good and easy to understand for people of all languages but people who pay such attention to detail most of the time know very well how to speak or atleast communicate in a different language (though this might also be a broad assumption) and if other languages don't call it ocd then who is to say that they will even know what that thread is in the first place?

Sorry for the long post and not coming up with other/better alternatives but yea... please don't call it ocd. I'm also not an english speaker btw and I personally look up every word I don't understand so I can learn.

 

I have changed my second post so that nothing I said is something that has not been actually said I apologize if I came across a little too harsh that is not my intention. Feel free to tell me if I missed something or if some words seem like false accusations or attacks I am truly only making this post as a suggestion to correct something inaccurate nothing more nothing less it is not to attack anyone. However I also think that sometimes calling someone out when they give arguments that are not based on facts but rather on something social like "everyone does it so I do it too while it's inaccurate" is something that should be allowed because no offense but it's just not very nice either obviously 2 wrongs don't make one right so I am also to blame for maybe not wording it nice enough.

With that said I have also said multiple that I am 100% convinced it was never meant in a way to actually be mean to someone or hurt someone at all I however still think it is a bad and uninformed name for such a topic that is literally all. If someone wants me to edit my second post to make it seem more constructive feel free to tell me arguments/facts or more positive things I could put there that could be changed.

Anyway if no one can come up with a different name other than the things that have been said here I don't mind if you wanna close the thread and postpone this until later, feel free to take your time on it there's no rush I just wanted to raise some awareness as to why I didn't like the name.

Lastly to anyone who feels like I am overreacting that's okay everyone is allowed to have their own opinion/feelings and I personally slightly regret making this thread because I am very bad at handling frustration, but I'd also like to ask you to look up what "ocd" is before you form your opinion and please do so on a clinical site rather than a social media site being informed vs uninformed can go a long way especially if you want to argue in a nice manner with each other.

This will also be my last reply to this thread I will only reply now if I am actually quoted or asked something.

side note: Happy new year everyone and thanks for reading my long ass posts.
