This place sucks!

[betiko]

So basically all threads are now done by nomad patriot, an uninterresting person who joined just a year ago and now people don't even bother to come read this section anymore.

Actually, there are very few people that I can stand having a conversation with in here. And basically no one can stand having a conversation with anyone either. What is this place? Is it because it's a strategy game website that the amount of morons per page is as dense as any comment section on the internet?

Seriously... social medias are shit. People lose all respect and talk about any crap out of their ass because it's just a screen. Not even a voice tone to make your intensions more understandable, if not for using emojis. Why are we so eager to voice our opinions to strangers that will never agree with you?

We like to argue.

It's just like going down to the pub, but a lot cheaper.

We’ve always argued.

I left for a couple years, had more to do with my real life than what was happening here.

I do agree that there’s one or two people (ok, just one person) who seems to want all the attention, and that has made this place less fun and less interesting. I think some personalities that may occasionally troll, like Sym, can add to the forum... not everyone has to be the same. That said, I think there was a period of time (IDK 5yrs ago) where the number/diversity of personalities here made this place better.

I don’t know how we can get this place back... maybe if we could ‘vote people off the island’ it would be a start... but that could lead to bad outcomes too. I wish I had a real answer.

[NomadPatriot]

haven't you all figured it out yet..?
this is my forum..

you all decided it was cool to try to sh*t on my face in a massive gangbang... thinking I would care & run away
calling me Racist
calling me an idiot
calling me a moron
calling me an ass ( I am an professional asshole.. get it right..)
laughing at me
begging for me to be permanently banned for not breaking any rules..
creating forum topics about me almost weekly now complaining because I do not care if you like me or not
whining
whimpering away because you accuse me of things you can NEVER back-up with actual quotes ..

the whole time perplexed as too why your attacks do not drive me away..

I control you..
I have crawled up under your skin..
I already won..

enjoy the show...

[riskllama]

is this now a "loser makes good" thread, or something?

I think the OT has basically been taken over by 2-3 hard core american republican trumpets blowing their horn all the time + trolls. I think the international community which I'm part of, if we consider this site to have mostly american people posting, and you could define us as the rest of the world (obviously with some exceptions, not everybody thinks the same), don't even feel like checking what is going on. Too much of an insult to anyone's intelligence and a close minded ethnocentric vision of the world and politics. I know these people exist and I don't want to have to deal with them, it's just a waste of time, they are hopeless.
Just like in real life when i can't stand an aquaintance's radical views and stubborness, I know I will just avoid the conversation. The OT is just about politics and political trolling. I've done my share at some point... Sometimes it's interesting to hear what other people think geopolitically because we all see things from a different prism and our countries give information in a biaised manner (not always intentional). But it's not about learning from others, it's about having the biggest epenis, being the most provocative, irrational, cheeky and unflexible. Attacking others in totally unrelated threads.... again, I'm myself guilty of doing some of this stuff too... this is why this is a pile of shit. Nothing constructive for our lives, and a lot of time wasted.

If there's someone you don't want to read, you can use the foe button to not read them. You can still keep checking the forum and read the people you want to read. If there's not enough positive interaction, you can always add more.

So basically all threads are now done by nomad patriot, an uninteresting person who joined just a year ago and now people don't even bother to come read this section anymore.

At least he is starting threads, other than threads designed to gripe at a specific person (specifically the person who is starting the threads).

To misquote the famous Monty Python skit, this isn't the room for an argument; it's a room to get insults hurled at you.

Forums are boring. We all know that. The biggest active thread in General talks about declining membership (461,987 views).

So let's dog pile on the one person who is trying to make off topics interesting?

As you say, the place sucks. The reason? Look in the mirror.

Starting "threads" that are just copypasta of the day's news without adding any kind of analysis. That's really just low-level spam. Starting a meaningful thread means taking a headline and either having something intelligent to say about it yourself, or seeking information from others.

oh... geez everyone.. didn't you all know the Conquer Club Forum is about …"meaningful threads"

but it's only deemed "meaningful " if what you post is deemed intelligent by other members

every thread I post is me seeking information from others who might be more fluent in the subject or might inform them on a subject they might not be fluent in... sparking conversations ( the point of a forum...)

but hey Duk.. the 3 separate threads specifically about me posted in the past week.. those.. those are the Meaningful threads for sure... meaningful meaning directly attacking a specific member by name.. ME

attacking me or any other member directly is perfectly fine..
you obviously have no problem with these kinds of threads....

hence you allow them to continue without locking them down...

or better yet.. how about everyone start posting threads in the genre that MRSWDK posts .. those are always … MEANINGFUL..

[Dukasaur]

but hey Duk.. the 3 separate threads specifically about me posted in the past week.. those.. those are the Meaningful threads for sure... meaningful meaning directly attacking a specific member by name.. ME

I didn't say they were any better.

You teach people how to treat you. When you're nasty to other people, it's not surprising that they're nasty back.

That being said, however, you're right. We should be locking down those kinds of threads, regardless. Two wrongs don't make a right.

and you ( the Community Coordinator..) teaches others what's ok to do to other members by allowing threads to continue that are direct personal attacks upon other members..

so very politely without malice in a constructive way .. I will be the 1 to say it to you directly..
community coordinator. .--> do your job..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ok.. now onto to the other half of your comment..

hmmm. remember earlier when I said --> " whimpering away because you accuse me of things you can NEVER back-up with actual quotes .. "

well go right ahead and back-up your accusation of me being "nasty to other people"..

I want to se what you conjure up that I have said that would be deemed Nasty...

Nasty = 'unpleasant or Mentally Damaging' when applied to a forum type setting like this... since a internet forum is not in any way a physical thing.

if you go with " unpleasant'.. well then you can apply Nasty to yourself & basically everyone else.. because anyone can deem anything said as .. "unpleasant"

if you go with "Mentally Damaging".. then you give me power..

i'll wait for your quote..

[Dukasaur]

I'm not getting into a pissing match with you or reviewing your posts to look for quotes. I think you're well aware of how you treat people.

Also,

do your job

It's not a job when you don't get paid. It's a volunteer position. I do it to help out, and nobody can force me to do it this way or that way. Certainly not someone who's not even a paying member. I treat you fairly because it's in my nature to believe in fair play and to be nice to others. Rest assure that my sense of fair play will only take you so far. Most people would have banned you long ago; indeed, it's rare that 24 hours goes by without me getting a PM from one user or another asking when you will finally get banned. So don't push it.

[riskllama]

duk wins this thread & also best mod award for fairness - good job, duk!!!

*polite clapping*

how do i treat people duk.. ?
i would love for you to explain how i treat people.

also.. not sure what i am pushing Duk..

you openly & publicly accused me of talking to people in a certain way..
I asked for you to quote me saying it..
you can't..
so, it's not a pissing contest .. it's you accusing me of things you can not back-up..
which is EXACTLY what I was referring to earlier.

but i guess you will say i do not make it a 'happy place ' for others because i stand my ground & they cannot drive me away..

so feel free to continue to be 'nice' to me by reminding me:
that people contact you daily wanting me banned.
that people do not like me.
that you only specifically treat me 'fair' because it's in your nature to do so, even though i do not break any rules


i thought a Community Coordinator is someone who is supposed to bring people together. not intentionally talk down to a specific person reminding them over & over & over again numerous other people do not want them around... just because they do not like them or their political stance or the color of their skin

like what Betiko describes

--> 1st he says basically all threads are done by me...

So basically all threads are now done by nomad patriot, an uninterresting person who joined just a year ago

--> then says the OT has basically been taken over by Republicans

I think the OT has basically been taken over by 2-3 hard core american republican trumpets blowing their horn all the time + trolls. I think the international community which I'm part of, if we consider this site to have mostly american people posting, and you could define us as the rest of the world (obviously with some exceptions, not everybody thinks the same), don't even feel like checking what is going on.

Just like in real life when i can't stand an aquaintance's radical views and stubborness, I know I will just avoid the conversation. The OT is just about politics and political trolling

combining those 2 comments entails he is mad because I am posting a lot of Republican Threads... he is taking a Political Stance .. he doesn't like me because I am Republican... & I post Republican Things...

which is completely ironic since he is complaining about the OT being too political while taking a Political Stance againist Republicans... in the same comment

[KoolBak]

DoD....you really need to exercise that hammer arm dude....it's getting flabby.

The last time in my 13 year tenure I disliked the public forums this much was when wicked went insane. Left for 6 months or so. That always helps.

Obvious troll is obvious. He reminds me of that one idiot who finally got perma banned for threatening razor.
