Treat the forum like a real community by Joe on 01-22-2007 at 11:56 PM

I'm pretty much tired of everyone being so angry on here.

Every time someone posts something they don't care about, there's always a flock of people right there to spit in their face.

The Flamer attitude that people have causes anger to the Flamee.

The Flamee retaliates to some extent, be it big or small, in more anger.

Flamers, with big enough post counts, use their privilege of giving reputations to degrade the Flamee to the extent that he is even more angry.

The attitudes of many forum members, make that community members are too much.

This may just be my opinion. If so, I need to find somewhere else to visit.

Is this just my opinion?

(You'll probably see a couple posts that resemble the ones of which I'm speaking)

Blah, this one seems to be talking about a specific issue, compared to others which were well more general.. And although I started hating this kind of threads, I don't mind this one at all.

Back to the subject,

I just want to say that I share your opinion.
(Although I realize there is not much that me posting this will change.)

It's actually funny when it comes from people who go around repping positively members who break the rules all the time, and then call the rest of us names in those reps.

Hm.. I always think twice before giving a new to someone. And some members do deserve the flaming, and it helps them change (most of the times, *ahem*).. and then people update their reps.

Look, I don't enjoy having to be the one to say it, but if you aren't happy, how about reporting the posts instead of making this useless thread in the first place.

its not meaning less, i agree with him, the quality of this forum HAS degraded seriously, reporting posts doesn't change the attitude, the damaged still gets done, the only way to get it change is everybody changes their attitude. and stop flaming the shit out of anybody with an opinion different then yours, unless its totally off the wall like "lets all cut off our balls and send them to <insert forum member here>"(and even then if  you know they're obviously joking, then ignore it), then you should respect their opinion.

A difference of opinion is not a wrong opinion.
RE: Treat the forum like a real community by Nagamasa on 01-23-2007 at 02:39 AM

It did get slightly better after traxor's rant, however, it has once again degraded.

In this case, flaming is like peer pressure. Someone with a reasonable post count starts, and everyone does too to avoid negs (or their mentality thinks something along the lines of that). It a hard situation to deal with, and I come in contact with it first hand (peer mediation!!). It's an inevitable situation.

However, getting one of these periodically make us think about our actions, and perhaps correct those mistakes that we have made. We all have made mistakes before. But we need to know what they are and how to correct them. So this kinda thread triggers that thought.

Late night thinking sorry for the misunderstanding :S

People follow a leader, which shows power somehow (which includes flaming). Others are then peer pressures indirectly and follow suit, although it might be just coincidentally that all the members feel the same way.

And another analogy is a bully. Teachers tell you not to bully (like how this thread is telling you not to flame), but people still do, and it exists because there is an audience, which gives the will to flame. Some of the audience dont have the power to stand up (and post little comments here like me), or just leave it as is. But sometimes its for a good cause, which is totally fine, but I've only seen it a few times here. There is, once again, no easy way out of this.
RE: Treat the forum like a real community by L. Coyote on 01-23-2007 at 03:17 AM

I hear what you're saying, but I don't see what's the point.

There is a reason why some members get flamed. And that's not peer pressure or whatever. It's because they spam.

I see a new tendency that started after one of the rants a few months ago:

* New member spams.
* New member gets a negative rep saying he spams and should read the rules.
* Old member reps the new member saying all the people who gave a neg to the new member are idiots and they should remember when they first joined, blah, blah...

Basically, people are forgetting something: You don't rep people because of pity or because when you first joined you spammed like crazy and now you see the errors of your ways and feel that this new member deserves something you didn't have back then.

You're basically doing all the contrary to the

Different opinion != Wrong opinion

thing you preach. :-/

If 15 people and an admin think a user is spamming, it tells you something. It doesn't mean peer pressure.

You get tired of telling the same person over and over again to read the rules, stop double posting, stop trying to get your post count to increase by making pointless or repeated threads outside of T&T, stop insulting others in public or in PMs, etc.

Then someone comes along and reps the guy with a + and says: "aww, you were noobs too! :angry:"

That's something that irks me. It's like it doesn't matter anymore that you're trying to point people into the right direction.

I think THAT'S what's actually degrading this forum. Giving spammers a pat on the back every time someone's trying to make them stop.

So, go ahead, mask it with peer pressure, evil reppers or "we were noobs too", but I think you bring this upon yourselves.



Btw, I was a noob too. But I never had to be told twice to read the rules. :P

its those kinds of comments that ruin this forum, why would you bring that up. that was over a month ago. it serves no purpose but to try to make me angry, and THAT is exactly what we're talking about.

the new attitude of this forum includes:
-anger
-constantly egging on already pissed people
  - who then get flamed for getting mad.
-mass negging(you post a neg and then everyone jumps in on it)
-new member berating
-constant spaming

and don't be reading this and think it doesn't apply to you, its probualy 98% of this forum that has done one of the above.

bottom line, give people the respect they deserve, everybody screws up once and a while, don't pick them to death over it
RE: Treat the forum like a real community by FineWolf on 01-23-2007 at 04:04 AM

Just a comment on mass negging here. If I neg, it is usually because the user deserved it, and I do provide proof in my descriptions (PIDs or TIDs). I do not look at a user's previous reputation before negging. Same applies for my positive responses. I either give proof or a general comment about the user which applies to the majority of his posts.


RE: Treat the forum like a real community by Rolando on 01-23-2007 at 04:27 AM

I do realize when a person has a negative reputation it encourages you/makes it easier for you to decide if you want to give them a negative.

But, the thing is.. most of the times they deserve those negative reputations, and maybe they're taking to an extreme.. but everyone should have the chance to explain how they feel.

If I remember rightly there was someone else who did this same thing after you, so don't just assume he was pointing the finger at you alone.

Personally I agree with most actions of the people on the forum.  The only thing I don't agree with is the comments made by some members that have no use other than to degrade others obviously and they continuously do this.  Though I must say, recently these people have become better IMO and there is less of it.

A newb should be treated with only a little more care than an ordinary member IMHO.  A newb should try to fit in with the dynamics of the forum and abide by the rules set, if they don't then they should expect the consequences.  I personally have realised my mistakes when people have said something and then I didn't do it again and in turn I haven't received any negative rep for it (furthermore, I haven't even received a neutral, but thats not the point).  People need to learn from their mistakes, not just keep on do it until they are forcefully dealt with.

Yes... but who closes or deletes the threads... ;) The important part of the reputation system is to help the admins and moderators identify problematic users. This is why I rep, and I report (as you might of noticed) alot of users and posts.
RE: Treat the forum like a real community by Nagamasa on 01-23-2007 at 12:08 PM

YAY for Nick!

Looking back at my PMs, he did really change a lot. A lot of noobs go for the post count at the beginning, then once they realize, they stop. That was why he did stop spamming (with the help of others), and became a 'normal' regular.

Now, he's getting along with pretty much everyone, and his rep soaring, while mine is stuck around +17...he also made lotsa friends too!

I would just say that if we dont spaz each time a new-comer spams, the spam will eventually decrease themselves, as the way people think tend to change.

Yeah, i completely understand what is being said here, and i admit i am one of the (apparent) 98% forum members who neg rep a newbie. after reading this thread, i have indeedly decided to delete my rep from .2007's (and others) reputation to try and make it easier for him/her/them to repair. However, i am against people doing rep-backs (Pos. and neg.)

RE: Treat the forum like a real community by foaly on 01-24-2007 at 12:12 AM

I thought the rep system was there to show people that you think they are a positive or negative addition to the forum...
Everyone was a newb once... true but not everyone had a negative rep when they just joined...
And when people get mass neg reps then (most off the time) they deserve it...
By making this kind off threads you change someone's opinion about someone else...
ebfl (for example) should change his rep for .2007 and others because he thinks they changed, not because off this thread...


RE: Treat the forum like a real community by Joe on 01-24-2007 at 12:41 AM

The rep. system only shows necessity in that It would show someone whether or not to trust the poster. What else does it do for the forum? Remind you that you hated that guy?

I'm not saying the rep. system needs to be removed, or even changed,  there just needs to be a better usage of the necessity.

There are arguments about whether the new people don't follow the rules correctly, or whether or not they should be given leeway because they are new, saying they should read the rules.

That's not an option. It's been discussed in the past, and the admins decided it was staying. I really don't see how it would help anyway. All of this talk for nothing. A simple reminder from time to time that someone's actions are against the rule (or such), by private message, really should be enough for everything to stop. I don't see how, once again, discussing possible solutions (which, 1. aren't up to you to decide, but the admins. and 2. are a lot less likely to work/happen than simple private messages) is going to solve any problems.
RE: Treat the forum like a real community by NiteMare on 01-24-2007 at 04:05 AM

its not the reputation system thats the problem, its peoples attitude towards it

not only that, but towards everybody else, nobody seems to just drop issues once they're finished, or give anybody a break

one little slip up and BAM, a ton of people slam down on the person, and CONTINUE to do it, for weeks after. and thats why so meny newbies, look so bad, because everybody just reads what everybody else has said, thinks its valid and then negs then, i think if somebody does something bad. only one person should neg them for that, then let it be... why should somebody be neg by 20 people for 1 little mistake.

if seen on other forums, reputation systems that you can only add a reputation in a post or in a thread, and once somebody else has reped them, then you can't for that post anymore.

i'm not suggesting that modifacation, i'm just suggesting alittle restrant with your reps, negs and pos's

RE: Treat the forum like a real community by Voldemort on 01-24-2007 at 04:16 AM

Why? My opinion differs.
Reps are for opinions, you may think x of me, so you go and write it,
i see someone that is spamming/offending, i neg rep. Another person sees another spammy post, so they neg rep or pm the person who refuses to change...


RE: Treat the forum like a real community by John Anderton on 01-24-2007 at 04:23 AM

As MenthiX said, is it that time of the year already? :-/
Seriously, these threads come up every 6 months, get some replies about how right the author is, a few promises by spammers saying "we wont do this again" and then finally a few weeks later this thread with a few hundred posts is forgotten.

I hate that method!
Leads to mass ganging up and people having thousands of votes. The modifications WDZ made are way better imo :)

IMO the rep system is fine atm. We've gone through this a million times. Stop trying to abuse it and stop cribbing about how you got "unfair reps." Everyone should read the reputation reason guideline and remember it. When voting, remember to keep your votes within the bounds of the rules. If you think a vote you have is against it, PM the guy in return. Don't fight or anything, just a polite question. Doesn't work? PM WDZ.
I think WDZ looks at most (if not all) of the reps some time or the other. I think he must have some sort of "new reps given" page :P
Anyway, you guys need to report a rep to the admins and they'll do the rest :)

Reps aren't your life so move on, please.
RE: Treat the forum like a real community by markee on 01-24-2007 at 04:24 AM

If there was someone as equally useful as the reason for the negatives then they would get about the same amount of positive rep for it.  Outstandingly bad and outstandingly good will get you about the same amount of rep IMO, just in different directions and so I see no reason for changes in behavior towards the reputation system.  Furthermore, if you could only give them one rep per post/thread for the person then why wouldn't you just go look at another post of theirs and do it to that one?  It seems a little stupid to me.

If I hadn't said this, there'd be no arguments on the rep. system. Let me clarify.

There's nothing wrong with the rep system, it's the treatment of the system.

He has said previously in the shoutbox that he checks all of the rep given everyday as this is easier than people getting heaps of PM about the reps.

RE: Treat the forum like a real community by Adeptus on 01-24-2007 at 10:31 AM

It really needs to be better understood that reputation on this forum is not an important criteria of life quality.

In my time with this community (well over a year), I have noticed that certain members seem to habitually neg-rep newcomers, over relatively minor things new members are bound to do before they learn better.  Greater restraint in that area would be helpful; at least, I would suggest sending a private message first, to anyone you are contemplating for a negative reputation.  People shouldn't care about reputations, but they do -- let's try to not alienate anyone before they've had a chance to do something positive.

Where the reputation system really shines is controversial personalities.  I will refrain from naming anyone, but these are the characters that seem to have a negative for every two positives, and still end up with a higher positive reputation than most.  They polarize the community, and for the most part, this is good.

Tbph, i think the rep system keeps some people in their places. Removing it would do more harm than good imo. This suggestion has always been turned down, so there is no reason to bring it up again. As a long time forum member, i'm sure you would be aware of the several previous discussions the community has had in the past.


During my time in this community I never have really payed attention to these threads (which is well over two years now). I've chosen to stay out of the forum arguments, and keep to myself, as arguing is not something i like doing. But this is something that i will say...

Some forum members really need to step back and lower their egos. If someone new is making mistakes, then lead him or her to the right answers and teach them the proper way of presenting themselves to others in the community. If this person continues to disregard the Forum rules, or continues on with any type of ridiculous behavior, it is NOT a forum members job to deal with the problem. The moderates and admins are here for a reason, and all of the forum members flaming foolish behaviour and creating arguments does not help make an admins or moderators job any easier.

When i first joined this forum, I made a few mistakes, as I was totally unaware of certain things and how things worked. And yes, i was rightfully explained by Anubis and Cookie about how to deal with such things at the time, and i became a better member because of it.

I must stress that flaming other members, or retaliating to mediocrity just makes these problems worse. The rep system is there for a reason - that is where forum members should have their say, and by saying that, that does not mean degrading the person when giving a negative vote, but professionally explaining what the member has done to deserve such a vote. The Mods and Admins are here to deal with forum members who go beyond certain guidelines and boundaries in this community.

I can't believe people are actually arguing about the RS.

I think people need to learn to discern a reputation from a personal attack.

And move on in life, your rep does not dictate what kind of person you are.

You can have +45 and be an asshole. :^)

Angry?  This is a Microsoft flavoured community!  Of course they are angry, their antitrust lawsuit forces them to appear so.

Also, don't use my reputation as a references, I am Svip, that is a million multiplier right there.
