Closing statements, please read PL forumers.

Hello,

I have thought this out over the last few weeks as I see it becoming a huge problem. I am leaving forums because of these issues and I wanted to put them out there as constructively as possible.


I am not going to point fingers, I am not going to play the blame game, I just want you to read this then move on.





Lately I have noticed a rise in the trollish behavior towards new and old players, I am noticing a click in the forums, If you aren't in this click you aren't appreciated and sometimes you are flamed in almost everything you post.

It is disturbing that even some of the old players I used to have respect for have adapted this attitude towards newer players on the forums and those that don't act like adults sometimes because they (in RL) are still kids, is that any reason to be rude to them?


This is not the community I joined, nor is it one I want to see a month from now, I am truly disappointed in some of you, and I am asking you observe yourselves and ask the question "Was that post/thread really necessary to post? did I hurt someones feelings with that?"

I think sometimes we forget we are talking to actual people with actual feelings, and yes we could possibly be hurting them. I have felt that the community spirit has left the forums and its a drag to see what new argument has dispersed on what thread.

This is not a condemning letter, this is a plea. I joined these forums because you guys were awesome and it was fun to engage. That welcome has disappeared and I want it back.




Here is my Challenge: Be kinder, respect others and be constructive. If someone is annoying you then let them win, and forget the ego's. In the end nobody will care who had a better rep bar.


Until then, This is Griff signing off for the last time.

If you can't post anything constructive about this, then please (out of respect) don't post on the thread.

Thanks for reading.
