A Remark in Regards to the Current Forum Attitude

[NECROREAPER]

Aloha everyone,

In wake of the current trend of making "troll posts/threads" and useless "guides" being posted by rep hungry members, I thought it would be a good time to try and get most of you to reflect upon what the forums truly have become.

Yes, we are unhappy.



To "guide" makers:

Be mindful of what you're doing. As Parth (Apollo) has stated in one of his most recent threads, is it necessary to make a "guide" on the information you're covering. A quick search of the forum will warrant a plethora of guides; legitimate, well thought out, well constructed, and most importantly USEFUL guides will pop up. If you MUST make a guide on something, use those guides as a reference as to what a useful guide should look like and encompass.

By creating all these, for lack of a better word, crap guides, its not only making yourself look bad, but its also putting the forums in turmoil, so much so that even the Devs have taken notice and started locking said threads.

REP MEANS NOTHING

Remember this because yes, you're getting rep from the "guides," but no, its not gonna show up in the little green bars under your name, and no, its not the kind of rep you want.
Remember, not everything needs a guide, and what may 'need' a guide may already have one. Dont fix somthing if it aint broke.

To People who are upset with the forums:

To be completely honest, I am in this group. I understand how you're feeling, I understand the frustration of seeing rep mongers destroying the forum with their useless banter. HOWEVER, WE are contributing to the current decline of the forums by making (pardon my language) wise a** remarks about these useless "guides." By being so negative about the guides its dragging the whole forums down, making it a less than desirable place for everyone, players and devs alike.

Im sure the Devs haven't been too happy with how we've been posting, which is fine since we are entitled to post our opinions, but as I'm sure most have you have noticed, there has been a massive increase in locked threads and bans.



So what can we do?

Again to be competely honest, I'm not entirely sure. I know that I have made many, many good friends on this forum and in game and NO amount of useless junk going on would keep me from having fun and enjoying myself with them. I guess what I'm trying to say is, yes, the forums are a different place, but the friends we've made are still the same.

Sorry for such a long post guys, but I think its something that needed to be said to help quell the negativity thats been taking over the forums as of late.

This is our game and our forum, lets make it better and lets have fun doing it.
