Think before you Post

[Anti-Block]

Lately, and pretty much as long as i've been here there's been drama, tons of it, lots of it stemming from something as measly as one post, and yet it can spawn a firey argument and often no one ever looks back at the root cause of the problem. And yet there is such a simple solution to this problem

THINK BEFORE YOU POST

just take a second to look at what you've written and just think, "is this what i want to say? is this contributing or just plain stuffposting? Am i going to cause the next Blockocaust from posting this?". I know this sounds ridiculous, i mean it's just an internet forum with no repercussions from posting, but even something that seems insignificant can have a larger effect than what you intended.  And you know, what's the harm in not posting what you were going to? i've many times thought about what i was going to say and said to myself, "this is not a good idea", pressed Home and never regretted it.
Maybe it's ridiculous to assume that something you post on the internet could effect someone detrimentally, but keep in mind how many death threads there have been where drama has arisen- quite a bit
I'm not arguing against posting what you think- by all means, share your opinion! But remember, even if you're sure in what you're posting, just lean back from the screen, press preview, and just take a second to think. it can save everyone else a lot of trouble.

and probably a couple of drama threads

this is just what i think. feel free to chastise me for being silly, or whatever.

My teacher says to THINK before you speak, and she put up this sign on the wall that says:

T is it true?
H is it honoring?
I is it inspiring?
N is it necessary?
K is it kind?

tl;dr
These forums are no fun if people think before they post.
Common sense doesn't belong here, sorry bro.

I answered them.

I do this kind of thing all the time, I think before I post because I fear the banhammer of Baldspat.

this is not a reason to cease fun, hell look at my post history i'm guilty of the charges

but it doesn't hurt, you know? just thinking for a picosecond is better than not, even if you're just posting a picture of a pony or a train or anything

Maybe you guys are just joking, but it's this kind of attitude that causes the forums problems. Instead of even putting forth a pitiful effort to make some changes for the better in this community, some people just say "Oh well it's the internet, people are immature," and don't even try.
It isn't impossible to be mature on the forums, and this kind of attitude only encourages more immaturity.
