    With more polls on the way and threats from staff to bar people from discussion, I think it's necessary to point out how people have ignited heated and increasingly childish discussion without realizing it.

    Acting like a big shot
    You claim you know better than everyone because you have a bachelor/PhD degree in mathematics. You claim you know better than everyone because you got level 200+ characters in GMS post big bang. You're such a pro because you got to a high level in another server. etc. No one cares.

    Acting rude and condescending
    What? You call this rude?? What a freaking joke!
    Do you even know what an invective is?
    All you do is whine about rude people, if it bothers you so much go cry to the mods.

    Indirect insults
    "Only an idiot would think hhg1 is good exp/hr."
    "I can't believe how juvenile your opinions are."
    "People who disagree with me are incredibly narrow-minded and only care about themselves."

    Namecalling
    Please stop calling people circlejerkers, neckbeards, nolifes, noobs, etc.


    Did I miss anything?

    I'm guilty of a few of these myself. At least I don't think I was the first to start it though.

    The purpose is to point out to people what they are doing. They probably don't even realize it.

    Not sure if I should close this already.

    I know there's some specific people that inspired some categories. But it can't be helped.

    OnionHi

    What's so ironic though? You know, if a staff member actually posted this, would there be so much criticism already? lol

    It's something people should be aware of, but the kind of people who would benefit most from advice like this aren't going to be the ones who actually listen to it.

    I'm honestly not sure what the point of this condescending post was..

    This seems to imply that some people are too 'dumb' to not know these things.. surely that's an indirect insult which, by your standard, starts flame wars?

    No?

    No. :cautious:

    Seriously people, this isn't meant to insult anyone, directly or indirectly, passive-aggressively, or whatever else.

    I urge you to stop making things out as what they're not.

    Dude eventhough I agree with you everywhere in life there are good and bad people.

    You basically have 3 options:
    Completely avoid contact with bad people (No forums, only buddylist)
    Ignore bad people (My advice)
    Or start flame wars.

    Maybe there are more but these are the ones that are most obvious to me. (Dont waste ur time trying to better people man, some personalities should just be ignored)...
    Also not giving attention normally stops the efford to get a reaction, since that is what most of these people want...

    The irony wrapped up in this is that you're posting it. You're not the kind of this, but you're close. Weren't you the one smegaing about a guild who had never previously provoked you earlier this week? :roflmao:

    Practice what you preach. Or in your case, just stfu.. pls.. PLS

    Oh, maybe I should add to that, "don't tell people to stfu" :p

    And what does a playful smega have to do with ANY of this. Sheesh, derailing too, Nikki....

    Oh shit, I apologize. I didn't realize you had recently achieved god status, complete with the ability to judge others and make threads pertaining to judging others.

    Get real, man :roflmao: I really do wonder what was going through your head while posting this.

    Nikki, get out of this thread if you can't say anything that isn't provocative.

    You can't talk about judging others when it's basically what you do in all of your posts when replying to someone who doesn't agree with you

    I read the thread name at first and thought by "flame wars" it meant rap battles. I have a weird mind :eek: .
