Author Topic: Massive Rant 2: How our community has fallen  (Read 6134 times)

I've lost faith in this community because of the idiocy we have today. Sure we've always had this problem with this, but loving seriously it's been getting out of control. Let's look at some of the prime examples.

Igloos - An Ugly Eskimo who craves attention
The main reason we all dislike Igloos is because he thinks he is hilarious by posting pictures of whales or ugly people and saying it's him. Is it supposed to be funny or is he insulting himself? Here is an example:
http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=229209.0
Also, he posts a lot. Seriously.
Congrats, I remember when I was close to 1000. Now a week later, I'm almost at 2000.
He registered in early February and already has nearly 2 thousand posts with a daily post count of 32.6. Today on April 6, 2013, he has made 156+ loving posts and 78 topics. That is way too loving much. I make like maybe 12 posts a day and I only have almost 6 thousand. That is acceptable, however, because I joined in November 2011. Igloos really acts like an idiot and an attention whore, too. Take these quotes for example:

When I was a kid which was like hundreds of years ago, Mozart was the big thing.
I heard Urstar fish is a great city. They have 5 star motels too and Kosher Burger Kings.
Conspiracy #2029: PIZZA IS MADE FROM HORSE stuff
How would I snip a quote..?

He also says that he's mentally handicapped, has Parkinson's and Tourette's, and always states he's an eskimo.
I didn't go out and say it. I was RELATING TO MAXX_ WHEN HE SAID HIS MOTHER HAD MS. HOW MANY loving TIMES SHOULD I REPEAT THIS? ARE YOU HELEN KELLER? OPEN YOUR EYES PLEASE OR GET CONTACT LENSES BEFORE I SHOVE I MAKE THIS PANDA  :panda: PUT A BAMBOO STICK UP HIS THROAT!! I wasn't shoving it into anyone's face either. I never shoved it in anyone's face that I'm an Eskimo. I just say irrelevant things like "stop eating my blubber".
Go to hell starfish.
I brought up my condition because Maxx_ was talking about how his mother had MS and I have Parkinson's which is similar to MS.
It's a muscular and neurological condition. And you don't need proof, I wouldn't lie about something like this. I've had Tourette's since I was 3 but developed Parkinson's 2 years ago when my tics (Tourette's) got worse. Also when I was younger I had an MRI done to see if I had epilepsy, and thankfully I don't. I hope you someday recover from it Skull. I know how it feels. Also why would you tell me to do something healthy? Of all people when you smoke marijuana.
No, here in Alaska we have a generator that generates fuel, and electricity.

/not that i live in alaska or am a eskimo

xdddddddd
Remember all (except one) of these posts are from today, TODAY. He's actually made about 25 more posts in the time I've been making this Drama.

The Bots
If you haven't noticed, more and more bots have been signing up for the forums. Here is the dates of the 30k - 60k member milestones.
30,000: xHerobrinex (May 21, 2011)
40,000: TheNerd (September 23, 2012)
50,000: Bot (March 2013)
60,000: Bot (March 2013)
In March, 12 thousand bots (and maybe like 1,000 normal users) signed up. Soon, we'll pass 100k thanks to the bots. These aren't necessary and just make the member database more confusing.

Bronies and MLP Haters who take things too far:
Listen, I have no problem about MLP and it's community, same goes for the people who dislike the show. I for one actually like the show. But people who obsess over it and post MLP pictures and quotes everywhere are loving unnecessary. It makes us mad and doesn't make you look good either. This is the same for massive haters. When you go into the MLP Topic and start posing stuff, it will get people riled up and possibly banned. Major rule, don't hate on something and share your opinion everywhere. That's like if I went to every Arby's and exclaimed, "I really hate Arby's and anyone who likes it. All of you, go die!"

The Lack of Quality Topics
A lot of topics nowadays end up in a stuffstorm or being locked because of stupidity. Here is a list of recent topics that shouldn't be made.

If you browse around Off Topic, Help, and GD you will find similar subjects of these topics.

Conclusion
I know it seems I hate everyone and everything from seeing this topic, but I deeply love you. All of you for the most part. Because I made this rant doesn't mean I'm leaving. I've been in this community for 4 years and 10 months (exactly), and leaving you guys would be like running away from my family. This community has had people leave and join. Some we've loved and some we've hated. I love making videos here, making friends, and overall hanging out with all of you. I've flamed you guys:
forget you and your stuffty cunt RPs. All they do for you is make you look like an immature richard. Go kill yourself, CKT, Jetlok, and any other cunt that constantly reminds me about my loving stuff.
and I've loved you guys:
Thank you Eric Hartman for making this amazing game. I've spent the last 4 years playing Blockland, and my life isn't the same without it. I love the game, the community, the everything. This post doesn't mean I'm quitting Blockland, I'm just showing my major appreciation for Blockland. Thank you Badspot.
but you guys need to straighten up your act.


Center justified makes it more difficult to read, for future notice.

And other than the bots, which are an issue how?, I don't think this is any different than the community has always been.

Dude eskimos are so dicsrimnated geez...

freek just went super saiyan
wow lol
support anyway

freek just went super saiyan


/support

Someone use ms.paint to put freek's avatar on a super-saiyan

Yeah, I agree, Igloos needs to forget off, keys should be required when signing up, and people shpuld leave bronies alone. Support, support, and support.

Quite frankly, this community is stuff. If you really don't like these qualities then you could always look for another one.

Like 4chan

Now there's a lovely community

i agree 100% with the mlp part.

i'd love it if there were a way to moderate it, but that wont happen because we dont have administrators on 24/7 to take care of it

you'd need a second development team to moderate the consistent post chain of the mlp topic

100% support
people might call me a hypocrite

Entirely opinionated and not really helpfull in terms of the entire topic's criteria...

Paragraph incoming.

The community is average, I don't see anything wrong with it. Its just about as normal as the entire internet. Asking for change especially with the idiocy problem is like asking a criminal to not be a criminal. It's not going to happen.

MLP was posted. That was a mistake. If it wasn't here at all, nobody would fight or complain over it because ITS NOT THERE.
However, it would be in other topics more often. So its more of a win-lose or lose-win situation. I don't mind if they keep their topic to be honest so don't point me out because of this.
I hate how I see MLP and MLP research almost regularly however I never, ever, even years ago, saw a furry when I didn't want to. This is bullcrap on how furries are known for stuff that I didnt even witness. Back on topic, I'm sorry.

The idiocy in the users is not necessarily a bad thing. I've learned maturity from the forums as odd as it sounds; from watching. It doesn't make my maturity perfect, no, but I can tell what I should definitely NOT do. However this isn't an invitation for more idiots. As much as it helps to watch and learn it is better to just not have it here at all.
I like how I might be the only one who barely posts and checks before he posts on how it might reflect others /MOST of the time/.
I checked with 2 people before posting this, not so I don't anger people because it might, but so I don't make myself look stupid in a part or two. People have different opinions so "looking stupid" might be different. I'm not asking for people to go ask everybody on their friends-list about their newest post, I'm just saying people need to THINK before they post at least a LITTLE bit sometimes. A crappy build on gallery? Be nice. Just be nice. Don't call it crap; tell them how to improve for once.

The bot problem isn't that big of a problem for the average Blockland user. However, I guess it will eventually be a problem for the website, so I actually forth the idea of having BL_ID's on register.


mentioning igloos isn't helping, he could change and even be a producive member if he learns his mistakes, it worked with glass, sorta
