[Suggestion] Forum Etiquette

OrokuYoshiFilms · 12-20-2012, 12:09 AM

I just joined this forum a day ago but have been lurking around here for quite some time. The reason I hesitated to join is because even though this forum is "fuggin' incredible" a lot of the replies and conversation are so rude. ESPECIALLY to new members. Sometimes people make posts that don't belong in certain categories, or they may be speaking on a topic that's already been discussed, and you guys with 'a thousand' stars under your username rip them to shreds about it. Being persnickety about trivial things and letting your self-entitlement issues get in the way of what's so great about this site, really irks me. A lot of people are have no clue how to operate within a forum but definitely have the love for TMNT that we obviously all share here. They want to be here with you guys too. So if you can, be nice. That's all.

Happy Holidays and ~COWABUNGA/BOOYAKASHA~

Well for starters, reading the rules, being polite and not giving an attitude back when being corrected on things they don't know helps greatly.

We have forum categories for a reason and they are easy to follow, people that often posts threads in wrong section clearly don't give a lot care of the rules or how things works.

You don't know me very well, guy. This is all quite funny to me. I don't have an attitude, but if you wanna argue, I'll give you what you want. ...and this is borderline harassment. I know there are rules and blah, blah, blah. All I'm saying is be nice if someone screws up...

Candy Kappa was plain in his suggestions, and you in turn cop an attitude. I'm putting you on 'ignore' already because I can sense the kind of member you're going to be.

Oh, and welcome to the 'Drome!

Good idea, OYF. I approve this message.

Forum veterans really have no business biznitching at noobs for making mistakes just because we've been around a lot longer. It seems to be a hazing sort of thing.

In the future, if you could be a little less quick to assume that someone is complaining about you when they aren't, that should also promote patience towards you nooberts. Just sayin...

Hahaha, way to diminish the point you were trying to make, homie.

I have a feeling this thread is singling out Rose and Powder as those are the two names that pop up in my head when I read something like that. I feel ya though. I wish some people would check their egos at the door before entering. Not trying to start anything. Just being honest from my own observations. I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking this. Merry Christmas, by the way

Ulisses31 · 12-21-2012, 06:12 AM

"Death to casuals" is not a good slogan so, all said, but when egos get too inflated they tend to explode.

I just hope no one gets hurt, casuals included.

Sounds like the entitlement is going both ways. You're 30 posts in and already making demands? Please read the rules and if you have a problem with somebody, let a moderator know instead of making a public soapbox thread about it.

So there's your answer. Thread locked. Please don't PM me asking why your thread was closed.
