Suggestion to add to "New to EXD?" thread

forget it

If it came to that point where we have to name members to watch out for, it would be better to just ban the individual.

I agree, if one person is that much of a pain, it's better to ban that person than it is to warn everyone else coming into the forum. It's more conclusive, and less work. The only reason threads like this are being started is because the administration hasn't been able to keep up with the pace of both the flippant regulars and the new guys who don't read the rules.

When action is not taken swiftly enough, then what begins to happen is akin to a revolt. People who are otherwise not in a position of power decide to give it a go at enforcing rules as best they can as regular posters.

As a result, we have Evan losing his nerve and flipping out on people, and we have people responding to the increasingly negative posts like his with threads like this.


The only way to aptly solve this problem is to be more proactive in the moderation of both the clueless and the belligerent, in my opinion. The mods/admins, the regulars, and the 'noobs' are all at fault. Now let's just get over ourselves and act civil.

Is there anyway that we could perhaps, delete this thread and pretend that it never happened?

Wow this thread is really going to start some trouble.

If a mod is reading this DELETE NOW

Instead of locking Flame threads you should concentrate on things like these

"what the hell is that supposed to mean"

Before you edited your post, it said this:


I thought it was ironic that you were using caps lock and multiple exclamation points to tell someone to get over the internet. That's all.

this doesnt upset you? i really really like this site. and crap like this is ****ing it all up.

and i was using caps lock to make sure that it was read and not passed over because this is extremely petty and stupid. and im sure EVERYONE is backing me when i say that this **** sould stop.

and i knew exactly what your post meant but wanted your condecending *** to explain it to me before i responded.

and im with everyone else lets delete this stupid thread and be FREINDS again. :)

You guys never learn. You all need to deal with the negative and positive that comes with a public forum. Its the internet people not elementary school, stop *****ing about everything. If you ***** about everything you get no where in life.

Some of you act like this is the XD.com country club and you pay $10,000 a year to be a member here and you have every right to ***** about everything that doesnt go perfect, well my people NOTHING is perfect.

Theres my 2 cents :)

Why is this continuing? I had everyone agreed to stop posting in this thread.
