Hello. Today I'm going to discuss the Disgusting evolution of these forums. It's like political correctness on steroids gone wrong. Like that dude that pumped so much synthol into his arm that his bicep burst. That's how forums is at this time. There was a time when you could openly trash your enemies publically. Boast about who you are ruining and cry about who is ruining you. Not anymore. That sneaky snakey slimey report button makes every post become scrutinised beyond measure. Who's fault is that? It's the morons who can't be civil. Don't blame the devs. It's not them. They're to busy cashing in on the final days of kaw. Don't blame the moderaters. They are just winging it these days. I blame the todds, the rogues, the snoopy, scraggy and dopeys. Wheel out the onsey. Thanks.
Times have certainly changed. I think the difference between now and then was all it was trash talking. It stayed within the bounds of KaW. Within the bounds of players. Within the bounds of clans and their wars. Now it's become personal. It's not just trash talking. It's really offensive language and comments that steps over the line (Joey: The line is a dot to you :lol: ). I'm all for some trash talking. But not when you're trying to personally insult players. Or bring in personal information that has nothing to do with it. People bring in racial slurs. Body image insults. You get the picture. It goes beyond trash talking these days. That's why the devs have cracked down on it. Some of it borders on cyber bullying.
If people stopped bringing their personal lives into the game, then they wouldn't leave themselves open to ridicule. We're all faceless players, and that's the way it should of stayed
That's true. Friendships form though. I guess the only way to avoid that is to not really chat to anyone. Given the prevalence of social aspect of the game, it's difficult to remain 'faceless' so to speak though. And just as quickly as friendships form, they fall apart. Can be really messy. Particularly online.
Unfortunately we have some very bad trolls who struggle with good banter n take things into the gutter. ...the number of personal attacks regarding people's mothers....and offensive attacks regarding sexually and sexual acts is where the uneducated go to drag threads into the gutter because they can't think of anything else. If u can't troll without direct personal insults then don't as your clearly not cut out for it.
The fact that this Todd kid can slander and use the word gay, in a homophobic sense in EVERY post he makes for over 20 pages is a joke. I'm surprised that thread lasted as long as it did with the amount of flaming and immature comments a kid like that can make. I fear for the child's real life situation to be honest. It doesn't seem healthy.
Nice one Todd .....very considerate of u to prove my point so quickly. U should ask people about how much of an fool you make yourself look. Like I said yesterday your a poor man's salty feet just a fail troll and I'm not gonna derail this thread with another back n forth with u because u just don't deserve the attention.
Or maybe be a little more discreet and possibly don't have unfair expectations from some faceless person you've never actually met in RL? I guess that would be asking too much huh? The neurotic need for validation from you people is just whack ..99% of it stems from when you drama queens don't get the luvin you think you deserve from complete strangers online ...seriously get that in RL
You should really ask around KAW and see who likes you Pars ....almost no one. That in itself speaks volumes. Like I said you started it you just suck at it and are butthurt over it. Go buy some cheap blended scotch (prob all u can afford) and make yourself feel better for a couple hours you clown. ...I'm sure mummsy will join you iPhone
Trolling used to be a something that would be funny. It's not funny now, and people still do it. So, it's kinda like MC Hammer doing the running man. Sure, it was funny. Not anymore. And, now almost all the players who added anything beside trolling, are gone. Game over.
There are expectations in every aspect of a persons life. The fact that you know someone online doesn't change the fact that they're a real person behind the screen name. Unfair expectations occur anywhere, with any friendship. Not just ones formed online. Who said anything about needing validation? If you've got a gripe with someone else then keep it to them. I don't run around online looking for validation. You ought not make assumptions about people you know nothing about. It's someones decision to make friendships online. And you deal with the consequences of that decision if it doesn't work out. Just like in any aspect of your life. This is exactly the kind of drivel and personal vilification that forums doesn't need. And exactly why it's going down hill.
So true. It's like watching different strokes, or who's the boss, or family ties, and to a lesser degree married with children in 2016. It was funny once upon a time, and now it's just fails failing.
I love a good troll, but to be fair, it's not even sport on this game anymore, it's the same trivial crap day in and day out. So I just poke every once in a while for kicks. That said, it's rare you will see me being personal to someone unless it's based on fact. That's my justification. Max knows what I mean
