Torezu Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I, unlike you, am not a mod. I have to be careful not to overstep my authority... Not that careful. Telling people off (without being abusive) is something they encourage here. You just can't command or threaten. That's all.
littleweseth Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Not that careful. Telling people off (without being abusive) is something they encourage here. You just can't command or threaten. That's all. A lot of these people are quite obviously new to online forums. Once upon a time I tried to educate them - I was, after all, an internet newbie myself about ten years ago - but it's the Eternal September and I just can't keep up. Generally I just ignore them because typing out a rational answer to "TEKKIT CRASHE AFTER MOJONG PLZ HELP11!!!" would just raise my blood pressure too much. Edit 1: The best I could manage was this. Edit 2: I really wish for something like StackOverflow's "Close as Exact Duplicate", both here and on Technic Questions.
John West Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Edit: Really, low-effort or badly-written posts just make me angry and frustrated, so 90% of the time I just skip them entirely. This is the way they should be handled. If you can surmise that a thread will not contain quality content just from the title and that you're more than likely going to post something out of anger, then just skip it all together. I don't understand why people get so worked up about these types of posts. You've seen them before, you know they aren't going to stop, so why even bother venturing forth? I know I may seem a bit hypocritical for posting here, but I actually enjoy helping people and have the ability to be constructive without being rude. If it's getting everyone's panties in such a wad, couldn't the moderators screen these types of posts and answer/lock them before things get heated?
DoomGiver32 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You call me a moron for assuming you're a douche bag without knowing you yet you call me, and everyone who disagrees with you, an idiot without knowing them. You say you've lost faith in humanity and that the world has turned you into an asshole. Seeing as you're ONLY 17 you've got a looong and hard road ahead of you. You've got a lot to learn about life if you think it's morally sound to be an asshole. It's one thing to be an asshole without realizing it. At least then you can figure out what you're doing wrong and realize how terribly you're treating people. I know it may be hard to understand, but the world doesn't get better with a bunch of bitter assholes sitting around complaining how everything's gone to shit. The world is changed by compassionate visionaries willing to make the sacrifices needed to make a difference. WELP. Conversation with you is now pointless, as anything I say you're just going to wave it away. Yes I have a long road ahead, that doesn't stop the fact I've almost died. Twice. Alone. That hardens an individual pretty damn fast. I call people idiots because they prove to be stupid on a daily basis, and therefore I feel justified as the majority of humans are stupid. If you can prove you're not, good for you. Have a good day, carrying on this conversation is pointless, and I have no want to argue with some internet fool.
Torezu Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 How about them Blue Jays? And so the thread dies.
