Author Topic: People using Drama as a verb, threat or "weapon"  (Read 2620 times)

Getting really sick of this.

People are really overusing the whole Drama thread aspect as a threat. Some of you guys make it seem so bad if someone gets their own drama thread about themselves. Are you all seriously that thick? How many times have you guys been smacked over the head with a dictionary? Seriously now.

You're all from different parts of the world and your opinion on this forum isn't all that important to some people. It would be different in person because there would be the inclusion of physical abilities and viewable emotion and expression. This whole goddamn forum is just text and the occasional picture or video. It's not like complaining about someone is going to ruin their life forever. To some people, however, they take this whole forum like it's the only community they can rely on and when they get betrayed by the occasional starfish they act like they should go start slitting their wrists.

Being completely honest you're looking at a bunch of letters typed by some random bloke from Canada that doesn't give a flying forget about anything he reads on the internet.

tl;dr: Stop saying "I'm going to Drama you" and stop using it as some form of threat. You're making a thread to whine about someone you don't like, and it's not like you're going to get e-snake points for people who agree with you.

Just stick to making threads about people who do serious damage and/or should have their key revoked/banned from the forums.



A good example is this thread.

Notice the part in the picture where he says "Making a drama thread" as if it's going to hurt his feelings or something.

"im gonna drama u becuase you dramd me!"




I've also realized this and it annoys the hell out of me.

I think Badspot should just remove the Drama forum and occasionally ban people treating other places like it. If you have a problem with someone on the internet, deal with it - threads for serious stuff like people who've found exploits that let them crash servers/cause other actual problems can go in General Discussion because if someone is actually causing damage to others ability to play the game (not necessarily to enjoy it) it should come to Badspot's attention ASAP. In fact if he wouldn't just ignore it I'd say it'd be better to PM him.

Of course we all know that won't happen because Badspot just loves to see all the children cry over their nonexistant "problems" with people insulting them on the internet how dare they insult you on the internet

Honestly no matter who it is as a matter of standards I want to punch everyone who has ever made a drama thread about someone else in the face. Stuff like this, about issues with the community as a whole, I don't really mind because usually it's actually got a valid point. Every other thread in this forum is just another butthurt child whining about yet another butthurt child who called them a cigarette.

I mean't agreeing with people using drama as a threat.
 They shouldn't do that.
Not saying they should

I was jokingly using it as a threat.

Whenever someone threatens to make a drama topic about me in-game I just egg them on to do it. They realize their threat is handicapped and never actually go through with it.
