Author Topic: The BAD IDEAS Mega thread - READ THIS IF YOU'RE NEW  (Read 1783 times)

Basically you've stumbled into a topic simply dedicated to list all the bad stuff that shouldn't be reiterated by newer members

Or basically stuff YOU SHOULDN'T DO

Please Contribute to the thread as you please


Regarding Add-Ons:

Don't re-post a Failed addon (exception: It was failed due to an error that has hence been fixed)

Don't re-post Crap-ons (add-ons that are intentionally broken by Badspot, this includes things like the Mininuke and City RP)


Regarding Suggestions:

Don't suggest Console ports (it's been requested plenty of times, not happening any time soon, Don't expect it on steam either)

Don't suggest Advanced video effects (Pixel shaders, Bloom, motion blur, mirrors, etc. This would require Badspot to buy an updated version of Torque, and Recode a LOT of the script, not happening)

Don't request Voice Chat We don't want a bunch of kids screaming over microphones constantly whining and crying for admin. Use an alternative like X-fire. Also Voicechat is currently impossible on the version of torque we have. (thank you General Nick for pointing this out)


Regarding Social interaction (general forum stuff):

If you have a mental/learning disorder such as Aspergers or Autism DON'T TELL US If you do people will only poke fun at you because of it.

Don't use 1337 speak or MSN chat this is a sophisticated forum here (this isn't gaia online) we would like people who can speak English correctly and not those who replace so many letters with numbers it's nearly a pain to read (as if it weren't already.)

Don't Emoticon Spam Self explanatory, it's very annoying.

GeneralSkar: Actually READ THE RULES Many people skip over them, usually resulting in a ban and some tears afterward.

Chrono: Do not start any topic about religion, politics, furries, homoloveuality, or any kind of war (eg. xbox 360 vs PS3, Blockland vs ROBLOX) These kinds of topics only cause yet another flame fight on subjects that were already done a bajillion times. Both sides are too stubborn to come to a final conclusion so you should just keep your stuff to yourself.

GeneralSkar: If you see something you've never heard of and want to know, GOOGLE IT

Dodger: This isn't your personal blog, we don't want to know how your "girlfriend" dumped you, your dog died, etc
we have threads for that kind of stuff though. Drama and Off Topic. Not the general discussion.


That's about all I can think of. Please try to keep your advice suggestions logical and helpful.

Read the rules. This may seem to be something simple, but many people skip over them for some reason.

I find it kinda funny that the rules topic isn't even in the top ten most read topics.

What about being mean to other people?

What about being mean to other people?
That completely depends on the situation.

What about being mean to other people?
I don't even know how to explain the answer. It's don't something, and people won't be mean. Also, it's the internet.

What about being mean to other people?
Oh no, that's fine.

Regarding voice chat: It's also impossible to do voice chat in the version of Torque we're in.

Not technically true, however whatever time put into making this feature could easily be spent on something more... awesome.

Also: Don't spam pointless topics about your life. This ain't no Twitter or Facebook.

What is X-fire?
Regarding Social Interactions:
There is this new thing called Google on the internet. Use it.

thanks for the suggestions you guys, updated OP so it's a bit easier to navigate
