I am sick of the constant complaining and general stupidity of the Blockland Forums. Though the forums are not bad in general, there are a few things I will point out, and a few people.
My first rant is about how you guys get so pissed off at the slightest irregularity in anyone's post.
Evidenced here Here And here. Now these are all somewhat recent topics, as I am sure there are more, but every post where someone signs their post, writes in a different font, or posts a bunch pf images is frowned upon so badly here that the user is nearly outright shunned. So what if a person wants to add style, or an image to their post to simply personalize it? That's what embeddable images and font text, and size are for. Some people go as far as getting pissed off and or making a drama topic about simple crap like this. Deal with it.
The anger that flows in this forum. This goes hand-in-hand with what I posted above. I have yet to see a forum with so many nasty comments, slurs, and just general hate towards eachother. It's an online lego forum. Everywhere I look everyone is raging at eachother, when they didn't even do anything! Take the ponies. Sure, they can get annoying, but in almost every thread made by a so-called brony, someone complains, saying stuff like, "Get outta here you stupid brony." Even when the topic is completely unrelated. I mean, people can't even have opinions on this forum without others bashing on them, sure, I'm guilty of this too, as we all are, but it has gotten to a point to where people completely turn against that person for stating their opinion, and that's a fact.
New People and Trolls Alright, I'm going to state one thing before I start my rant on new people. I have been recently guilty of doing what I am pointing out on this thread, and I realize I was wrong.
When a new person makes a topic, or asking help for making an add-on, asking for something, or hell, in their first post have a grammatical error, people jump on them, accusing them of being an alt, etc. and instead of helping them, they ridicule them, so the problem persists. The thread could be answered, and out of your eyesight, if you helped the poor kid and/or new person! That's all it takes. An act of kindness can go a long way.
Trolls. God damn you guys do not know how to deal with them. You type sentences of rage and hate, but really, as I said earlier, that just makes the problem persist longer. Trolls feed off of attention. As Ike said, report them, and ignore them. Simple.
Drugs. On a lego-based forum. Jesus Christ this has to stop! Drug threads are running rampant, and this game was designed for kids. As a non-drug user, I frown upon people using drugs, and quite frankly, I see it as a sign of lowlifey-ness. It is also a form of attention whoring, posting about how you use drugs, very often. (e.g. Kilser) Again, in my eyes, drugs are bad and will forget up your life. Not to mention it's illegal! That's enough on that matter.
This forum is degrading. The people who I respected and liked are gone, or have changed so much that they are a different person. Only a few people that have my respect still exist on this forum, and even then it seems they are becoming less and less active. So, that's my rant. I know I will be flamed, but I don't care. I am just throwing this message out there.
