Alright, I'm pretty sure a thread like this was already made, but here goes, and if it was, I'm making a new one to express my views on the situation. Lately I've been seeing a lot of rude and just disrespectful, condescending and unnecessary remarks, so I'm here to tell you that I don't like seeing that kind of thing, I go on Skyblock to have a good time, to hang out with friends, make new ones and help new players have as good as a time as I do, but throughout my time here, regarding the last little while I've seen an enormous amount of content on both the server and the forum I don't appreciate, you can say it's my choice to look at it, and that I don't have to, but guess what people, I do, and so do the people it's directed to, it's not like you're just insulting the air because it's on the internet, it makes it worse because it's behind a screen, people you don't even know feel the need to comment on things they have no business in, this can sometimes even get to the point of bullying, which is obviously not okay, but still, people continue to promote this kind of behavior, I don't find it acceptable, the person you're saying it doesn't find it acceptable, and you, the person who says it, often just says it to fit in, when in reality "fitting in" is just excluding people so that you feel superior. If you have an opinion on something I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I'm saying that if it gets to the point where you're considering if it's rude, it probably is, so I would keep it to myself or re-word it, sometimes what you say doesn't even seem rude at the time, but it can offend many people, even when joking around with friends, you should always be respectful of others' wishes, and that doesn't just mean stop when they tell you to, it means stop when you know it's the wrong thing to do, you may not regret it, you may not care, you may not have even read this thread, but I assure you that people do get hurt by what people say, so please take caution when you say it. I hope you all take this into heart, and I've known many, many people in my life, 3.5/4 have insulted me, or have been disrespectful to me, and I know for some it's the exact same way, before you say something, ask yourself 3 things. Is this statement what I really want to represent me? YES <--- you should only say it if this is a yes. Is this going to hurt or effect somebody for the worse in any way? NO Is this going to be something I'll regret? NO
"Lately I've been seeing a lot of rude and just disrespectful, condescending and unnecessary, so I'm here to tell you that I don't like seeing that kind of thing" What? But yes, I also agree. Good thread.
It makes no sense "I've been seeing a lot of rude and just disrespectful, condescending, and unnecessary"
But you never specified, so it made no sense. Maybe you should have said: "I've been seeing a lot of rude and just disrespectful, condescending, and unnecessary COMMENTS"
No, he's saying that grammatically, your post makes no sense. You should edit in "comments" In where I mark in red.
The point isn't grammar guys daTNTkid Don't pin this on the newbies, that's not very welcoming. I think some of our rudest and most unpleasant people are older members, mostly because they think they're better than other people. Just remember the Golden Rule. Treat others as you yourself would like to be treated. This applies through a screen just like face to face.
Well if the newbies hadn't shown up. who would us oldies have to be disrespectful towards? No one. Boom problem solved. Get rid of th newbs.
Im going to use myself as an example for this. I was a mod for.. Roughly 12 months. I never did anything bad towards anyone in any circumstances. Yet still i get yelled at and cursed at by retards who have no idea what they are asking me to do. That, makes a guy toxic. Not instantly, but it makes u toxic towards this place. I even had the hatred of the new mods on me for no reason, hence my hate towards them aka scrubmods in my book. Im a good guy irl, i really am. I have never done anything wrong on purpouse. But when i get hated on and yelled on in here, it sticks to u. Im good at ignoring all of the s*** people threw on me in here, but no-one can do it forever, not even me. So now, i can be rude to people from time to if i find them irritating but thats not who i was/am, thats just how i act in this community after all they have put me through for no freaking reason. And no, i dont feel bad for the people im rude at because i know they deserve it. Im never disrespectful without a readon or unless someone starts it. Its not usually a veteran players fault that they have become toxic in this place, ppeople here just has put them through more than you can even ask for a guy. Thats just how it is.
I understand that. However, these aren't people who are in your life, they're just through a screen. Just let it go. And you aren't in the forefront of my mind when someone says "rude veteran player".
Firstly, the amount of times I have been abused by players, both when trying to moderate and being a player I couldn't count. Just today I was a "dumb lezzo". Sometimes I feel that players are overly rude and it is not just a specific group. While it is just people over the internet, its the words they speak that can be hurtful. Just because they are words we cannot hear and people we cannot see, doesnt mean we are excepted to knock it off as if it were nothing. Some people really do take it to heart. People need to be more sensitive sometimes and realize there will be people out there who could be hurt by the actions you do or more relevant, the words you type/speak. But generally being respectful is something I would consider important, and I see a lack of sometimes.
I like how my YAMWAPI's weren't deleted But on a more serious note, I may not have been mod, more towards the opposite of mod actually, but I can relate to this so freaking much.
They were knitted into the conversation quite a bit, and he only requested for the ones involving the different groups of people being ruder than others, so that's all I removed.
