I Am *so* Sick Of This!

I'm sick of all the people here posting stupidity and acting like you're the Internet's gift to message boards! You guys come here day in and day out and post STUPIDITY like it's your RIGHT to have these boards! I'm sorry, but it's time to wake up! These boards are provided as a PRIVELEDGE to you all so that you can discuss things intelligently! If you don't have two brain cells to rub together and make an intelligent post, get off the bloody computer! Have you guys not READ the rules when you registered?! Aaaaaaaargh!!!! Every time I see someone post something stupid, they're going to lose their respect from me and receive a pleasant little PM detailing where they went wrong, why it's stupid and how to fix it in the future. Some of you don't agree with this at all, but I *don't care*. I'd be willing to ban 90% of the posters here if it kept the boards intelligent!

(Note: This rant is for all the people who seem to think they can post stupid things in the wrong forums just to see it locked.)

    Hrm, the aftermath of this thread will be interesting. I'm curious as to what the Mods response will be.
    But I do agree with the message that CF's post is putting across, the forums are slowly getting worse and worse, and something may have to be done about it

    I too am beginning to tire of the well-meaning but nonetheless senseless people that think:

    "
    LOL!!

    That would be really cool.
    "

    Is an excuse for a post. I wish people would put some thought into posting. Not into what they're posting as so much as <b>do they really need to post</b>. You need to ask yourself "Would I be able to contribute anything useful to this discussion?" If the answer is anything other than "Yes", I strongly advise you to pass up the opportunity to increase you post count and make these boards just a little more bearable.

    I really do agree with CForrester, I haven't posted much on this message board, but I saw one of my friends post a suggestion in the suggestions Board just to see him get flamed to hell with people saying how stupid he is, and how much of a "n00b" he is when it was just a very minor idea that could either be ignored, or given some form of intelligent feedback. This forum in general dissapoints me with some extremely stupid members (better not mention names <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> ) and I just see people taking the mick out of other peoples ideas and saying things like "yeah you want that changed cos ur a n00b and can't handle without it" which is utterly stupid.

    ---Edit----

    Forgot to mention, I have seen some minor racism on this forum aswell in places. And Americans saying things like "Oh i wish the British wouldn't talk on the mic ingame we can't understand a thing we're saying", well to people like that, the English invented the language so just shut up.

    Morgan, I've noticed it too. I think the majority of people who flame are just people sick of the jerks on the board.
  • MorganMorgan Join Date: 2003-02-18 Member: 13721Members
    Yeah well, why flame a simple suggestion, thats all :-/
    All I ever see here is arguments in almost all threads I look in to be honest.

    Remember, of course, that its fairly obvious why the people who post for no good reason tend to dominate the board. Lots of people do the right thing and hardly post at all.
    Its one of those annoying problems that I imagine you get all the time with large forums.

    Side note. It's not racism if someone doesn't like you because you're british. It's bigotry, or perhaps xenophobia. Racism would be becuse they don't like you because you're black and they are white. I seem to see a lot of confusion lately on what rascism is. As for inventing English, ehhh, it's a mixed bag comglomeration of germanic languages and french. It's linguistically questionable to say it was invented by the english. But that's a topic for the Discussions forum.
