DYE IT!

Don't punish your REAL SELF, SHOW IT!

 

[Thucydides]

If you behave differently on the internet it's most likely because of the anonymity if grants. In our real social lives, we have norms and social codes to follow. We cannot act like idiots because it will have consequences for us (like getting disliked, getting left out. Being seen as socially akward is not something we strive for). While this does apply to the internet, here the "norms" are usually very lax, and can totally differ from "IRL". Fear of exclusion is really what keeps people in check.

Now, this does not excuse asshattery. But if it's not noticed and reprimanded, it will spread and in the long run be seen as the norm.

Norms change depending on social groups. Like you said, internet norms tend to be very lax, and once people notice the ability (and fun) of being a douche on the internet, they join the party. Does that mean they are douches IRL? no. Does it mean that they do not have pro-social personality traits? not really. Being a douche on the internet does not preclude you from doing nice things IRL, it just means that there is still a part of you that enjoys anti-social activities, like kids and bullying, or venting rage/stress.

Kids are an activity ?

[Thucydides]

Kids are an activity ?

fondling kids, yes.

[Jacko]

You adapt after the people around you, If everyone else is acting like a douche, then you will most likely do as well. The problem here is, far from everyone is. Most people manage to just play and have fun without fucking about. This is not /b/.
Here it's only a small group of idiots doing stupid stuff, pushing each other to do more moronic stuff and in the long run "hurting the community" (bleh).

I couldn't care less if people are "IRL douches" or not, what I think is bad is that they choose to do it here, when there are so many BETTER places on the interwebz to do it on. Take your IRL drama the fuck away from my gaming forum.

This isn't the place for venting your miserable life, we don't care (that goes both ways, don't post or talk about personal stuff either, if you can't take it).

[Leshma]

This is not /b/.

Not yet, but it's starting to become like it. Back in the 2010. when I started only real trolls were LLJK guys with their constant spamming LLJK on global chat and, of course, Berenger. Yes, there was Balton as well but I never mind him, I think he's very decent person actually.

Right now majority is trolling in some way, some are making annoying STF alts and their only fun comes seing others rage. Game itself became so boring for them and they find alternative ways to have fun, one of them being an asshat.

Not to mention amount of shit that is posted in global chat, it can be really distracting sometimes when you're came online to actually play the game like it's supposed to.

Also, the fact that certain clans are so big in numbers that when they play on server you have no chance to win if you're in enemy team and of top of that, they avoid their friends in the other team. Of course they TK and TH eachother all the time etc...

Public c-rpg nowadays has nothing to do what it was before. People don't get satisfaction from playing well and winning the rounds, most of them are online to annoy others.

I hope you're not serious when you're making those ridiculous claims, Leshma.

[Jarlek]

Only one way to fix this. Blanket ban NA.

any picture uploaded on the internet is not automatically copyrighted, hence why some people prefer to GET copyrights (CreativeCommons license etc.) if they have some dumb picture they don't want others to take and upload

also, she uploaded the picture on facebook, which does not claim automatic copyright on anything posted on the web site, and can be infringed as much as people wish as long as facebook staff doesnt take action

  yeah right. Copyright doesn't depend on publishing it. The only thing that does is start the countdown for it's expiration. All creative work is automatically copyrighted the moment it is created. Why some people use creative commons etc. is because they have different limitations they can choose. Ffs dont argue about shit you have absolutely no understanding of.

Yet your side comment would imply you disagree.   

You must temper your general angst and rage with silliness, for you are a fool, and only the wiseman knows he is a fool.

I saved the Shopped picture, unknowing that it was such a huge giant big time doodoo cry over problem.

[MrShovelFace]

I hope you're not serious when you're making those ridiculous claims, Leshma.

actually leshma is right

I for one only ever play crpg to get a rise out of angry try hards with my troll builds (think 33 athletics and taunting two handers as they chase me)
one can only play battle mode for so long until it gets boring. The only other competitive game mode is siege and that isnt really a competition so much as the roll of the dice if you get the side that the map is rigged for.

it is no suprise that people who feel they have experienced all crpg has to offer turn to trolling as a new form of entertainment.

[Gorath]

it is no suprise that people who feel they have experienced all crpg has to offer turn to trolling as a new form of entertainment.

Thing is there is a vast difference from trolling and just flat out being a vile piece of shit.  Dunno exactly when or why people have confused the two but most people used to know the difference.

Where would you get such false facts from?!

Give me and i can use it for avatar at other forums for lolz.

Yup Balton is a cool guy. People were just jelly and tried to get him banned all the time.

[Noctivagant]

Heard that my name was on that topic,

Well you guys shouldn't talk about people without knowing the background story. Braeden needed evidence so I got the evidence. If he had enough evidence from the start I didn't need to take action and do something. Well you shouldn't do the things you've done its not funny at all, I'm happy community got rid of few more bad apples, âdieu
