Getting on with people here needs a little compliance on your side. For example posting quotes at the bottom of posts isn't the done thing around here and confuses others - People explained that to you and instead of taking a step back and listening to them, you got all pissed and defensive and stuff and they mocked you for it.

Yeah, that's mean of them, and I'm not saying you deserved it, but when you act in a way that aggravates others then you reap what you sow, really.

Thats complete Bs, people didn't explain it they acted like Dick heads, if they would of said would you please post quotes below I could comprehend.

But come on I see what this is just sticking up for your friends on a forum thats normal.

Have you read the other comments? Yeah? Still think I'm wrong for acting that way? Then I can do nothing but leave that's complete Bs.

You know , I'm really, really sorry. When I re-read this thread I felt great shame; I thought I was simply giving constructive criticism to help improve the continuity of your posts, so that in the future I would not be initially confused by their content. Though now I realise, with great regret what pricks we have indeed been. Simple constructive criticism I thought it, yet in hindsight verbal holocaust would, perhaps, be a more appropriate term. Oh how, my advice must have burnt your soul like firebombs. If you were too accept my most sincere apologies I shall be eternally in your debt.

What?

First post telling you about quotes:
Your provocative response:
WoF tells you again after you continue to ignore him:
Moxco explains things a bit better, albeit in an aggressive way:
So what was your problem?

EDIT: Moxco's a speedy shit.

Ok, so you were the first one to really be aggressive about this and now you come along with that crap?

Well, I tried. EDIT: We all tried.

Can anyone else say lost cause? And that's a shame, really.

:lol: I gave him a simple email with just one picture of Spiderman and the caption was: You must be Muham-mad.

I don't know if anyone else sent an email...

dear god no wonder he hates us

Ever thought that was the problem being too aggressive? A lot of you people acted like dicks. I made that post as a joke. But like I said it's just a post people shouldn't complain about it just read it.

I'm sorry but I clearly stated in my introduction that I was an asshole.

But all of you acted like complete hypocrites afterwards.

But why would you do that? That's just you being an annoying prick. It's neither funny nor helpful.

EDIT: I think this is the most I've ever been sniped.

Nomadpaec, the only one really being aggressive was Moxco. We usually just ignore him when he posts like that. I suggest that you stop posting in this thread and give us a shot. We can be quite likeable, really.

Don't tell me off, I have needs too you know. :tard:

@Nomadpaec - Along with what Phylum said, also don't take sheridanm962 seriously either.

I put one fuck in my post and now I'm the antichrist. And don't say Oh, but he's new because he was already told twice and was being a smartarse about it. Annoying enough to warrant at least a single swear word.

Then he came back and made it sound as if I had shot him in the face.

It's really hard for me to understand whos being a smart ass and who isnt on sites like these.

I do apologies to anyone that was trying to side with me and thought I was targeting them.

If you still want to join us it may help you to sit back for a bit, lurk, and watch how people act to find out how things work around here.

I actually like this guy, that email I sent was a mere joke that no one gets...

No one gets my humour, even if they tried (hurr durr it's unfunny). :nonono:

Yeah you'll find that I'm really aggressive. I mean get this, occasionally I'll actually swear, I'm not joking, I'm seriously that aggressive.

Edit: Dammit sheridanm, stop posting so fast.

sheridanm962 I just registered here how am I suppose to know how anyone is?

And personally now that I am part of this forum I feel as if it should let me be me and do how I want to I'm sure everyone feels the same here as long I stay within the rules, but that was to the one who said thats arent how things are done here. It's like having a baby, it's part of your family now so you just gotta learn to tolerate it until it's grown.

Just because you've been here for 5+ years and or has thousands of posts mean nothing to me your just another user until we get to know each other better.

Yes, but that's why people give constructive criticism, to teach newbs the ropes. If said newbs choose to ignore those suggestions, then they've only got themselves to blame.

This is a real forum with a real sense of community, not 4chan. We're trying to have discussions - some serious, some lighthearted - which means it's important to express yourself clearly. It's really quite difficult for us to accept someone who chooses to post confusingly.

If you want to be a part of a community (whether on the internet or in real life), you must learn to live within its defined cultural boundaries before trying to change them.

Warning us that you're an arsehole doesn't make it okay.

Wait what was I trying to change?

Having a right to post the way I want to? That's bad?

I know that was directed towards me. :chairhit:


Fucking Aussies have no sense of balance in what they say and never EVER consider one's feelings, well most of them are like that.

I'm from New Zealand we don't think alike, just be clear about that.

and a cat is fine too.

Like I said, it's about expressing yourself clearly. Texts in the English language generally follow in a logical progression from one thought to the next. Therefore, it makes sense to start a post with what you're referring/responding to (i.e. the quoted post) and then follow it with your own input. Putting the quote at the end is incredibly confusing.


Now, you may say that it is a perfectly acceptible approach. You might even try to convince us that it's a better way of posting. But first you need to accept out way of doing things before trying to change them.

I'm not trying to change anything, it's you guy's that are trying to change the way I post now isn't it?

I can feel Nate's frustration building up

Because we see that you have potential to be a good member and are trying to teach you how to fit in and express yourself clearly!

Jeez...

How racist.

Nate I'd really much rather take this to Inboxes just to keep other opinions out of it.

What ever I say you'll come back with something else and it'll just cause unneeded attention. Since I am new I feel as if members here will just side with you because your an Admin.

Admins and mods don't really get sucked-up to here. That's not how this forum works.

EDIT: Darkhoodess posted just before me.

You really don't know this place very well if you think people will agree with me by default.

In any case, I can sum up everyone's feelings about you in one sentence: We don't want you to go, but if you choose to stay you're going to have to treat other members with respect, and that includes posting in the way that they want you to post.

Respect is earned and if I have to change my ways just over posting quotes above what I say then I guess all I can do is leave.

But the issue now being is members sending me unwanted emails.

Like I said its sad that I have to change my email over this.

Making a mountain out of a molehill. Take care now.

One member sent you an email. One member who has now been infracted and temp-banned. One member who has now been infracted and temp-banned sent you an email, which you can simply stop happening in the future by changing your settings.

As DarkHoodness said, you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

I really don't disagree with that.




Normad.... Many members start off scared and in a bad position here.. But if they stick around, learn the ropes and just keep going they usually find a way to fit in. It's really beneficial in the long run, cos we usually form a tight bond with each other.

Im sad to see you upset over all this though. In all honesty, no one has been really mean to you. A lot of people here had it much worse, and they still stuck around, and now it's all fine. If you're not gonna stay, at least take our advice for the next forum you visit :) It could pay off.

Good luck where ever you're going from here whether you choose to say (and take our advice) or go off somewhere else.
But yeah, I agree with Nexy, everyone here is usually scared shitless with their first visit here. I don't know what it is about us but we're just indimidating to all new members, We really don't mean to be, we just try to give constructive critisizm where it's due. But stick around to find that we're all really nice people. Once you break that initial hostility, you'll get to know each and every one of us and understand our twisted humour. I'm pretty sure everyone's made at least one blog stating their love for each and every one of us here.
Love ya guys <3

I'm still confused as to why Oddman thinks my suggestion wasn't sensible.

I think....we should all have tea and biscuits.

Already ahead of you.

That's the best suggestion I've ever read from you. :P
I lurk. A lot.

I stop visiting the forum for the weekend, and look what happens. How could you all be so cruel, and disrespectful? I may have to start giving out OANSTFRACTIONS again.

Especially to Oddman. Christ. Shut your fucking mouth.

for some reason Sheridan seems to think we're best buddies and that i'm just being a dick for the fun of it, when really i'm trying to drive home a point. i always have a point.

take it from me, Sheridan. i don't like you. i doubt i ever will. please vacate my anus and have a nice day.

EDIT:

are you fucking brain dead? stop throwing your arms against me like a big wet fanny and realize i wasn't even the one that said 'QUOTES. AT. START. OF. POST.'

fuck me. THESE NEWBIES GET DUMBER EVERY YEAR

I don't think Spiderman is allowed on the forums for a little bit. Even I admit that sending the little fucker emails is a bit beyond the level of reasonable fun.
