I just wanted to make a quick little thread, not to be mad at anyone or to rant on certain people, but to just quickly remind people of the servers number 1 rule.
Respect.
Now, specifically I have noticed this in me most recent thread, but I have noticed it for other people as well. It is that people get mad when people post an idea that has been posted before. Guys, don't get mad just because someone reposts a already suggested idea. It is not a waste of time, it is simply showing that there are more people interested in it.
Rather than saying, "This has already been suggested but nice try" Be nice and just say, "Thanks for your opinion."
Another thing, is the topics of threads. Another thing that was a great problem with my last thread, but I have noticed elsewhere a lot.
When the subject says "Let's talk about A" Don't start talking about B. That is just simply stating my idea. People often have have a great problem with their personal feelings getting in the way of actually discussing the topic. If someone wants to add a suggestion for the server, then talk about it. Don't talk about why this related thing or this other thing is bad or good. Talk about the actual pros and cons of that specific suggestion.
Example: We were supposed to be talking about the orphan whistles.
We ended up very quickly talking about how bad child abuse was.
The whistles in no way affected this.
What am I getting at? I would have preferred that we had ACTUALLY discussed the pros and cons of whistles, not the problems of something that they would/do not affect.
Now, as I said, I do not mean to make anyone mad or to tell everyone "You suck learn to be nice or shut up" Or anything like that. I know I will often myself get off topic or angry at people and show disrespect when I don't mean too. But there are some people around here that I have yet to see show respect to me, and seem to me to think very highly of themselves, and think it their place to twist words into something they can get mad at me for.
I honestly don't enjoy having everything I say changed into something that turns me into the bad guy, which is why you often see me in my threads getting mad at people.
Thanks for listening to me rant, if you actually read all that. Sorry if anyone got offended, but I am simply speaking the truth.
Respect.
