Stopping Drama - Mini SP Explained
Why forums are not the answer
With some recent small drama happening today because of a forum post, it is obvious the community doesn't know how to deal with the issues they face.
It is best to compare drama to a fire. Fires are maintain through a fuel source and oxygen. For our example, there is a sufficient amount of oxygen present for combustion, however, there is only so much fuel. Our fuel for drama is people.
The drama first starts at the source, which can be a user, build, forum, etc. Like a fire, drama must find more fuel to expand and sustain itself. If it can not, then it will die out after burning through it's supply. The most common way for drama to spread on this site is through forum posts about peoples' opinions and observations. By making these posts, the poster brings the drama to attention of more people. These viewers will make posts about the drama, either taking sides, calling for people to stop, or more. This leads to an exponential growth of the drama as more and more users are exposed to it and make posts about it.
What about you?
Now I must sound like a massive hypocrite right not. Aren't I bringing more attention to drama by making a forum post explaining how drama spreads and how to stop it? Well no actually. The reason is that I never pointed out a specific issue in this post. By avoiding naming an issue, I am not bringing attention to it, thereby reducing the chance for drama to spread via my post.
However, this is not a guarantee way to stop it. I have no control over what people say in the comment section. A debate might pop up as people try to state their opinion on a certain topic, provide an example, or something. Please keep drama out of my post comments. Thank you.
Conclusion
While I cannot provided specific examples out of fear of spreading the drama, I suggest you keep an eye on the forums and do your own research. Look for patterns and the cause and effects of posts relating to drama. You may find that they go hand in hand with my observations.
The only way to stop drama is to ignore it. By doing that, you are 100% stopping it from spreading through you by depriving it of it's fuel. Remember to keep any drama out of my comments and have a great day or night, the choice is yours.

Scenario
So you are a new user and said "You know what. Building is too much work, Im just going to get to platinum through forum posts."
Well, upon hearing that I would have one thing to tell you.
Good luck.
NUMBERS
So, you really are doing it you mad lad. Lets look at some numbers.
-White: 0
-Bronze: 100
-Silver: 1000
-Gold: 5000
-Platinum: 25,000
-Highest point count on website: 336,000
So, you really got your work cut out for you. Now that you have an idea of your goal you will reach, lets look at some points.
POINT SYSTEM
The point system of SP is pretty simple. Each upvote gives you so many points. The amount of points depends on what the user is upvoting:
-Mods: 25 points per upvote
-Video/Uploaded Creation: 15 points per upvote
-Forum: 2 points per upvote
-Comment: 0 points per upvote
Mods give you the most points while points gained through comments are so insignificant that we can just forget about them all together.
PUTTING IT TOGETHER
If your goal is to get platinum as fast as possible, then mods are the way to go. The average amount of points a mod gets is 39 upvotes per upload, allowing you to reach platinum in just 26 mods.
Lets say you are no coder/programmer. No problem, just go via videos and builds. For builds, the average amount of upvotes per build is about..... 3. Oh.... Well then, going off of this, you will reach platinum in only 556 builds. Luckily for you, as you progress in building, your skills and builds improve. This means the increase in your amount of upvotes per build are exponential.
For videos, the average amount of upvotes per video is 16, allowing you to reach platinum in 105 videos.
Now, back to our original situation. Forum posts on average get 7 upvotes per post. This means to achieve platinum through forum posts alone, you must make, write, and post 1,786 forum posts.
For fun lets look at how many forum post you the 0 point user would need to make to beat BogdanX (336,000 points). To tie Bogdan through the power of words alone, you will need a whooping 24,000 forum posts. You would 75 more forum posts to beat him.
Could you please make a razor crest with cockpit interior and VTOL? I'd love to see it, because there's only 1 good Razor Crest on the site (The other needs two mods)

War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless Sith Lord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere.
In a stunning move, the fiendish droid leader, General Grievous, has swept into the Republic capital and kidnapped Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Galactic Senate.
As the Separatist Droid Army attempts to flee the besieged capital with their valuable hostage, two Jedi Knights lead a desperate mission to rescue the captive Chancellor....
Incredible job. There's something special about that feeling...when you look from cockpit view, shooting bunker busters and dropping AGM-65s....it feels....real

I think it's safe to say this is your best build. I have never flown, but this almost does that itself. Its so...real. I also LOVE the weapons.
