Dealing with Forum Whining
« on: April 29, 2011, 07:43:48 pm »

Most forum posts are helpful or nice to read, but quite a few comments and posts are just whining.

I offer the following solution to these annoyances. There should be a new forum created meant for whining posts and replies, where forum moderators can move all whiny posts to. Also, the poster's avatar could be changed to a crying baby.

I nominate this post for first post in the whining forum.

Really? You think whining is bad thing?

Now, let's think about it.

If we didn't whine, you would still die to a bar "lolcrush" mace, even if you blocked up.

If we didn't whine, you would still meet Crossbowman with a German Greatsword on back and sometimes additional defence, like Pike.

If we didn't whine, pocket weapons would stille be there.

etc.

So... stfu and whine with us!

It's not difficult to see the difference between whining and putting forth valid concerns regarding balance, income, bonuses, or whatever else in a respectful, civil manner. At least, not for me. I can only hope that others share this perception to some degree.
You think you're pretty smart with your dago mustache and your greasy hair.
