Two good suggestions.

I would also add:

3) Very heavy moderation of flames and trolls.

the_logos · 05-24-2005, 01:06 AM

I completely agree with all of that.

(No offence, Kopribear. I don't mind your thread, I'd just like to see it off the 'recent discussions' thread as it's not got relevance to most of the site visitors, who are here to talk about MUDs, vote for MUDs, or find new MUDs.)

Who?

If you mean the people who announced leaving, not a single one of them were terribly interesting- certainly not more interesting than a lot of the people still here, and definitely not more interesting than the majority of people on MUD-DEV or a variety of game design blogs.

Kopribear · 05-24-2005, 03:10 PM

^_^ No offense taken, but thanks for actually being concerned about it. Okay, final post from me on the matter....

Sinhue, did you ever consider that maybe you're part of the problem? Perhaps if everyone learned to express themselves less provocitavely, there would be less flaming, ya think? You must have known once you posted that it would have offended at least one person reading this, especially after the direct personal attack, thus starting a flame. Before you condemn others with the title 'troll', how about you step back and take a look at yourself?

So with that in mind, I'm leaving the thread as requested. Attack me all you want, lovelies, for being 'fluffy' or uneducated on the subtle science and exact art of flaming, or whatever. How dare I bring any speck of happiness to these boards? I don't even know what I was thinking. I leave it up to you to keep bumping it to the tops with mindless namecalling and unprovoked insults. Snuggles all around... hope they don't melt you.

...And I knew it wouldn't be long before one of the usual suspects started throwing flames around. Well done! Just can't stop yourself can you?

Hey, just wondering. Is there a single person who can actually talk an, here is a new idea, not try to attack someone. Come on people. It was made clear that she wanted people to join in. So just an idea. Lets all get along and join in the conversation. Besides, at one point it time before Sinhue started complaining, they were talking about MUDs.

Just a thought.

Alleria · 05-27-2005, 12:07 PM

And yes, I love alot of people here. Except for massive flamers. As in, they try to start flames in every post.

This has nothing to do with the topic it is under, but wouldn't heavy moderation of flames annhialate 90% of the boards?

Ilkidarios · 05-30-2005, 09:35 PM

Oh sure, I can do that pretty easily... Communist.

Alleria · 05-31-2005, 05:03 PM

So, I'm a communist for promoting pacifism. There is a difference Between being a commie and a Nazi. Here's and idea Kopri gave. Try backing off and looking at yourself before criticizing others. It'll help the world out alot if some people like you weren't here. And I thought trolls were bad.

Ilkidarios · 05-31-2005, 09:00 PM

I was joking, you take things too seriously.
