I'd like to second this statement, things just get way too toxic here at times for me to want to risk getting caught up in it. I also feel like this issue is being blown way out of proportion, however present the actual issue may or may not be.

Skype is for other contact and communication, which may or may not even be slightly relevant with anything Nexus forum, at all. As have been said before, real life is an issue to many. Some people are quite frankly a bit shit here, so not all topics or posts feel -right- to post? You're still thinking of it as a ratio of posts, it's not like people are posting there instead, they're saying things that would otherwise be unsaid. That's how other media of interaction work. Personally I don't feel like posting shitty five minute scribbles all the time, because i'll come off as a cheeky attention whore, or something, I guess. Quote:Cherry picking. Like, cherry picking in the extreme. When you only use Skype obviously you won't hear about the more mundane discussions and KC's shitposting sprees, but somebody will pop up "guys the forum is talking about us again" without fail. People still read, dear. assuming they don't, even as it's been said before, is just your usual flavour of made up information. Quote:I've been the only opposition before, I've also been completely right as the only opposition to something before.Right in an issue regarding a community, as a single person? I'm afraid that is entirely a impossible scenario, by definition.

Dunno.I've been the only opposition before, I've also been completely right as the only opposition to something before. Alright. So being right on one case in opposition makes you right in every one of them. Surge, I certainly hope you never make moderator again. You don't know how to be 'moderate'. If negativity is all you know, maybe you should look in a mirror and discover that it's the same fucking source of your problems as much as you think it fuels you. Whatever, you won't believe what I say anyway. Have fun with your eternal loops. Otter. There is a problem because you tossed the big steaming pile of shit that is the problem in the open. Things weren't completely okay before, no... But they weren't anywhere near as bad until you shined a light on them and decided to wedge a fucking pickaxe in the cracks to make it worse. But just as adamantly as you are on the issue of splitting, I've adamantly determined that worrying about fixing the 'issue' when obviously more than half of us don't see it because it's not that big of a fucking deal is actually DRIVING PEOPLE AWAY. Seriously. I don't want to be here anymore. I have better things to do. More important shit to worry about, like getting a goddamn job to support my family. Wanna know something else? The very issue you're trying to fix IS THE BULLSHIT EVERYONE WANTS TO AVOID BECAUSE IT'S THROWN IN OUR FACES LIKE THE WORST ISSUE IN THE WORLD. So you know what? I'm done here. I don't need this pointless shit stressing me out. So I'll stay on Skype PRECISELY BECAUSE IT'S NOT A FUCKING CIRCUS. Bye, forumites.

RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Gonzogonz - 06-21-2015 at this point a drama thread where everything drama gets moved to might actually be a decent idea. i'd write a longer post about something i've wanted to say for a while (not related to this, not is it really drama) though i think i'll wait till tomorrow as it's getting a tad late here.

RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Teron - 06-21-2015 Some pretty warped [Redacted] logic that the majority can't do what they want because of a couple people, on claims of 'community preservation'.

Dunno.I've been the only opposition before, I've also been completely right as the only opposition to something before. I'm not cherry picking though. I read the pages every once in a while, and I catch up. I know that this thread isn't 100% undiluted vitriol drama 24/7. It doesn't change the fact that the only times it comes up over there is when there is drama. But since people decided to take it up to arms and scream and push an 'issue', it's the only thing I'm seeing about it, here, and the only thing I'm hearing about it, there. And every time something like that happens, it always gets people pissed and moody and just in general ruins moods for the day, which frankly I'm getting sick of. So when it always comes from here, what do you think the natural response would be? Entrench myself into the very place that allows all this shit to start, or stay away from it whenever I can, to stay where it's much less likely for people to just 'give in' to being angry and, frankly, shit all over the place with words? I don't know about you but I'm not masochistic. And here's something for otter. Yes, otter, hey otter, this is to you, this is directed at you, hey otter OTTER, this goes straight to you and I request a response, because OTTER as you say, nobody sits down to talk things through their problems, hey OTTER, hey look this is me sitting down to talk things through, OTTER, hey OTTER. SILVEROTTER, hey silver otter, hey otter. That thing you're doing, where you basically tell yourself 'fuck it' and start typing all angry and capslock, and in general cease communicating as a human being and instead start screaming like a misguided protester arguing against animal cruelty with picket fences, in front of a vegetable market. Between skype and the forums, I didn't choose skype because of 'technological features' and whatnot. Not because of the strengths and weaknesses of either platform. Frankly I wouldn't give two shits about that, in either direction. I don't care about what program can do what, your accusation is unfounded when it comes to me, so stop generalizing. The reason I spend most of my time there, instead of here, is, frankly, because over there, losing your cool and shouting your argument while ignoring the inconvenient messages, is frowned upon. There, acting manipulative and in general socially disruptive, is frowned upon. In general, acting shitty gets you consequences. Here? If someone starts shitting all over the place everybody just looks away and hopes 'it goes away'. Here? If people start a heated and frankly pointless argument, some either simply stop posting until it's over, and some get in on the yelling too. Here? here you can get away with acting however you want, and people will let you right back in afterwards, instead of making it clear that "it's not okay to act like that". And you know this is true. The fact that otter just acted like a raving lunatic spewing screams and capslock all over the place, after ehks had threatened with temp-bans, but nothing happened in the end? Things like that is why I spend most of my time over there than over here. Because otter got away with shitting all of that all of a sudden, but nothing to show that "it's not okay". And I don't expect anything to happen, either. And it actually IS not okay. If I was speaking with someone, and then people started suddenly raking up an argument like that, that's frankly shitty. It kills the mood, it ruins the atmosphere, and honestly is disruptive as fuck. But no, nothing happens, if people lose their cool, no biggie, let's just hope we can stay quiet and wait it out next time even harder. You say people simply hate the community so they left. I don't hate the community. I hate the fact that "maybe we don't need moderation" is uttered, when at times it actually sorely is. There's probably other reasons as to why I spend most of the time there, instead of here, but that is a big one, and, in general, it's not the kind of setting I find enjoyable to talk and share things in. So in the end, this is probably just another memento by a member of the 'skype squad', that had posted almost nothing here until people started getting the conversation muddled up because some here couldn't keep their cool, and thought it was acceptable to just spew vitriol all over the place. And this is probably going to repeat next time such an argument happens. And again, and again. Until I either get banned, or the clock-work accurate repetitions of drama and general behavioral shittiness stops. I don't expect the second one happening, ever, so I guess it's up to the first one, then. EDIT: Well apparently ehks dropped some correction, which I frankly didn't expect. Now I look silly beacause my entire post has been completely invalidated o ^o RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Surge - 06-21-2015 (06-21-2015, 08:53 PM)Corosar Wrote:This is unfortunately a side effect of such a close community, people bring personal issues in and get opinionated in ways they wouldn't in public because they feel comfortable doing such things with the other community members.(06-21-2015, 08:44 PM)Surge Wrote: And clearly the majority is right simply because they are the majority.

RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Ehksidian - 06-21-2015 *Chainsaw revving in the distance* Okay clearly you guys don't understand the meaning of "Calm down", and, as such, I have to take administrative action because you people cannot stop, take a breather, and relax. Surge. Silverotter. Both of you are receiving twenty-four hour bans, on accounts of breaking Rule #1 and refusing to relax after being told to do so. This is to allow you two to cool off. The forums are not the best option for everyone. Skype is not either. Guess what? A few people use one more than the other. Guess what? Most people who are in the Skype group are, indeed, active in the thread and aren't splitting the community. Saying "Oh, the community is splitting!" when this Skype group has existed since about...oh, I don't know, the seventh or so thread? Maybe earlier? It does nothing but cause exactly the issue you are so vehemently against. Constantly arguing, yelling, and going "Skype is terrible!" all the time is what is driving people away. Not the Skype group itself. The toxicity in the forums is precisely what is causing people to be upset and be less active here. Yelling about a so-called issue does nothing but drive people away. It does not fix the issue. It does not help anyone to make a small issue into a gigantick fucking shitfest of epic proportions. The bans will be rolling out in the next few minutes. Maybe it'll be a tad calmer, maybe people won't have to leave the forums because of the drama being caused. That is all.
