I've been away this last week and i must say it's getting really annoying and weary to come and see the tenseness in the forum.
I mean, who voted what in a poll, sweet threads turning into "popularity contest" debates, all the arguing over donations, the behaviour of certain members... does it never end?
So - i'd like to ask the moderators/admins if they would consider:
- deleting the arguing posts the second the first rude post appears in a thread.
- thus making the two persons in question settle the matter via PM.
- and (considering what happened the last time around and IMO was the reason for all the anger that followed) never let the "who voted what" question appear in a poll thread. It's rude - because the votes are private and it's not fair to single anyone out based on their vote, and besides it's useless because only the mods know. Polls will be forgotten in a matter of days, so what's the big deal about them? (Is it really worth getting upset over some internet poll? How relevant is it in the big picture?) And the fact is there ARE several options to pick from in a poll - and if the poll is bugging you in any way, well, DON'T VOTE.
If this will continue, maybe polls should just be dropped for good...
Now posters:
It would be nice if people stopped putting others down for having a different opinion. It's not too much to at least hear someone out, is it?
And just for once, when a popular and a less known poster clash, i think it's only fair to let the two of them talk, without a few others "supporting" the popular one and pick on the less known one.
Hello high school.
If we're supposed to not be cliquey this kind of stuff has to stop.
And lastly, i hope that the "if you don't like it here, leave" attitude would not spread anymore. It's really only a "screw you" (excuse my language) wrapped up in a more pretty vocabulary IMO. The way i see it, we should work on Interference being a community - and so generally everyone is welcome.
But hey, who ever listens to me anyway right?
