PC ~ The Broken Community

I have to wonder...do some people even realize what this is? This is a forum. A fun thing to do in your spare time. Sure we all want it to be something enjoyable, but that wouldn't be so hard if you just treated people with respect in the first place.
*Too many 'n00bs'
~I don't think I need say much here. It's just as Lightning said, new members will sign up. That's a good thing. What fun would a forum be without the members?
*The T-Dome
~Don't look if you don't like.
*It's not the same
~Again, what can be said that hasn't allready been said? Time moves, that's how it is. Things happen.
*The reputatoin system is unfair!
~This should be used to reward members for outstanding posts, why we even have a negative system I don't understand. If a post is bad then report it. If you're being a friendly member as you should be, then you will have no reason to fear this system anyways.
*upseting PMs.
~Now if only there were some way to go to your CP and put someone on an ignore list so they can't send you PMs anymore...
*SPAM
~this is a naturall thing in a forum. It is what mods are here for. They controll the spam and let the rest of the members continue to socialize as normal. A thread complaining about it won't help any.
*old members are leaving.
~yes, that is called life. People have other things to do.
 
I see some people are confusing n00bs with newbs. Newbs are fine, they are just new people and are willing to learn the rules and get along fine with everyone.

N00bs aren't neccesary new, and think they know everything and if someone tries to help them or tell them they did something wrong, they act rude and/or start flaming.

N00bs are the one we're complaining about...
 
I just think everyone being overdramatic :\
The only issue to be brought up is the rep, and thats already being talked about (and started quite a while before this thread began)
We cant actually change people and their personalities, and if someone is very disrespectful then they are banned.
And, shocking as this may be, ppl are allowed to leave PC -its not an eternal bond ^^; sometimes work and life outside PC just become too hectic

*My psychological opinion*
If you think something, such as PC, is bad, then you are going to look out for the bad things, and not even acknowledge the good -this is known as the "Horns" effect.
Think of the good things -for myself, i have great friends here, and i enjoy the topics and debates that come up, which is why im here so often ^^
So just try to see the good, rather than trying to start a "revolution" in a place that really doesnt need one :\

Apparently you have a smashing point, but not everyone has your own point of view.... And about the time passing - It's obvious that time passes and things change, but is it necessary to make them change the wrong way? can't you correct some trend of behaviour before it gets worse? IMHO there is nothing wrong with it.

Well they're just people who feel that sarcasm can exist in a forum without people casting a discerning eye at them. What I have a problem figuring out is how people can fail in casting these people aside from their minds. My main argument is that online users are becoming too touchy to people they don't even know, and their posts, which don't mean anything at all. Why the sentimentality when you don't even know these people and what they're thinking?

Here are a few quotes from my MSN discussion with Suzu,

have you noticed that reputation is existing in this little imbalance?

noobs: high
ordinary members: low
mods/admins: top

Fixen: it's a curve
:.Paige.:: "never noticed that"
Fixen: "a curve that so elaborately put the ordinary members, who are minding their own businesses, at the bottom, basically casting them away...so another word for this is your popularity, and much more your activity. the amount of time you spend to promote yourself into the spotlight."

"in the spotlight on the stage of forums, there are certainly prima donnas, and also people who can't sing for crap, and just jumped to the spotlight to make fools out of themselves"
So why don't we accept this fact, sit back, and enjoy the never-ending audition?

(Yes I'm dramatic...forgive me. Might be my enthusiasm to debating acting up.)

You know what? It may surprise you all, but writing this thread wasn't fun for me. I'm pretty depressed right now. meh... I just want PC to be a fun place, where nice members are in abundance.

I didn't think people would get mad at me for stating PC has problems. Obviously we don't want to face the music. That's a sad fact in itself.

The little ray of hope is the only thing that keeps me here. The hope that I can change PC, and restore it to how it was. Even though I know people will fight me everystep of the way. If that's the way its going to be, so be it. Popularity isn't my goal in this crusade.

Anyone who says I'm being melodramatic doesn't fully understand the value of PC. PC is a hub, a virtual community. It was a fun place to, it CAN be a fun place to be. I just want to make sure its a nice place for everyone. Is that so bad?

I'll probably be absent from PC tomorrow because of Thanksgiving, but I'm going to change PC. Starting most likely on Friday XD

For all of you nice members out there, we're not an extinct species yet. We have the power to turn PC around if we utilize it. Please realize that.

Anyone who does want to acknowledge PC has a problem ~ I pity you. I really, really do. Admitting mistakes is hard, but its worse if we turn our backs.

On the last note, I want everyone to know I'm a good member. No, I'm not complementing myself, I'm just saying this thread wasn't made to cause controversy, and I'm sorry that this had to turn into an argument. I hope we can act more mature next time.

Ok it's only a forum. People have lifes outside of this. Things don't always change the way you want them to.
 
Sorry your depressed PJ. Have a great holiday, and I hope you aree successful with changing this place, and I might even come back if you do. I might as well really leave now, since you are.
 
PJ, you say "we need a revolution" but what reasons have u given?
"Ppl are becoming mean" -if someone you know if really disrespectful, then report them, simple as that

"Rep is evil" -that's been being considered since before this thread began..a lot of ppl abused it which is a shame..

..and thats it..thats all your reasons..and just because of that you think we need a revolution? That's just crazy..

To quote my last post:

I think PC has turned to a metropolis of evil >.<
Over time it has gained People who are not worthy of the title Moderator.
I think that PC is ran by 'STRANGERS'
I miss the old PC, The original PC from 2 years ago.The One I liked, Not this overcrowded.
Im actually leaving, Yeppers. *Locking the door* Never Coming Back.
Last Post I ever make.
And as proof I won`t come back, Im gonna request that Steve IP Ban me , Yep..Later all!
 
To all those saying it's just a forum: Yes it is, but the thing is, all the other people that are posting are real people. It's not that different then going to the mall and talking to your friends. The only difference is that you don't know the people personally, so you should give them more respect then if their your "homies" or whatever.
 
Run by strangers? Again, it seems i have to repeat myself..
"shocking as this may be, ppl are allowed to leave PC -its not an eternal bond ^^; sometimes work and life outside PC just become too hectic"
People are allowed to leave for personal reasons ppl, you cant tie them all to PC
 
Ha, I'm sorry, I just gotta say something. Jess, no matter how funny this is, you don't know how many times you've said you're not coming back. Ahh, if I had a dime everytime...

Hey Hey Hey wait a moment dude! Don't you think you're getting it a bit too extreme?? things such as "take the bottom line of my sig to heart" or "im pretty depressed right now" are a bit extreme aren't they? Just realize: THIS IS ONLY AN ONLINE FORUM! It has nothing to do with your personal life and it should not even affect your emotions that much o.O'
This is not something that has to be taken like the french revolution XD I understand your point indeed, but don't take it as a matter of life and death XD

And btw I dont like all of this stuff either, but its not making me depressed o.O'
I wouldn't mind that much if PC closes tomorrow... I'd be disappointed and I would miss PC much, but I won't certainly commit seppuku for that XD
 
MY NAME IS JESS AND I AM A FLAMING IDIOT, DURR HURR!

eDITED BY DT OF COURSE :D :p
 
Oh, and since you signed off MSN so quickly after making that comment that I saw coming, JESS, *edited by DT so hate me*
 
...... people you're getting immature.......
This should be a normal discussion, not a show of extravagant people leaving PC and swearing.... ok im goin to sleep right now cya

But I see where she is going with this. If the age limit is 18 then it would be fine because if you lied about your age and you end up getting in trouble by your parents and they try to force the blame on PC, then the staff could just show that the person lied about their age and therefore, Pc is in the clear. I hope that makes sense a bit. Atleast that is how I understood what she was tryign to say.

Yes, that was what I was trying to say. =]
