Enough already...

Mod TheLatentImage  6.8 years ago

I feel like I can speak on behalf of most people here regarding this. We are getting tired of seeing the "I'm leaving" and "I'm not getting enough attention" forum posts. They are little more than an attempt at fishing for sympathy. If you're going to quit using the website then just go. There's no need to make a "dramatic" post explaining your actions. Chances are you aren't going to be leaving anyways, so spare us the needless post. I'm getting to the point where I just might start banning anyone who makes a "I'm leaving" post and make them hold true to their word.

If you feel like your builds aren't getting the attention that they deserve then perhaps you should take a step back and take a look at the kinds of things that can be built in this game, and then look at the kinds of things that you are building in this game. If the quality those two considerations aren't comparable then you have more to learn and skill to strengthen. Like anything else, the more you work in this game the better you will be at it. So get in there and put in kind of work that yields great results.

Let's try to clean up the content on these forums and make this more of a place for fun and intriguing and thought provoking conversation and less of a place for content that would be better suited for one of the social media services out there.

Thanks for reading,
Latent

    I was like this, but you're right: it's stupid to post this kind of things, and people are affected because of their points.

    For me, the points are only a subjective way to tell you "he's good" or "he's average", but you can clearly see some newcomers with already a wonderful control on the game.

    @Benkelmans what is the point of the comment you made to @Viper28? That seems unnecessary.

    See this is exactly what I meant. The sheer childishness of the forums. @Benkelmans

    @exosuit the higher Point users are higher Point users for a reason. They have more time in game and more followers. The more followers you have the more people see your posts and are likely to upvote if it is good...and if you are Hi-Point user they better freaking be good.
