Author Topic: The Blockland Forums Community Tips on How to Not Get Flamed  (Read 6823 times)

Okay so if someone says that their opinion is that roblox is good, we have to automatically flame them?

Yeah! Because if anyone has a different opinion then everyone else, they are wrong!

Crispy's right. Roblox as a game isn't that bad, and in fact the scripting engine is apparently more versatile than Blockland's, but the devs are immoral hogs (giving away in-game "fake money" for spamming links to Roblox on other sites was one of their bigger bads), and the community is stuff because every random yahoo who wants some cheap lolz or has no idea what they're doing can play easy because it's "free".

Also: Do not spam reaction images. If you post an image try not to make it an attatchment.
It got blockman01 flamed off and I worry hyaku will be next.

I think I could replace this entire set of rules with one rule.

1. Don't act like a handicap.

If badspot had an issue with emotes, he would remove them.

Let's use this logic:

If Badspot had an issue with some people posting, he would ban everyone.

8. Don't make exact copies of other threads *glances at sentry*

This was discussed already. I said this is valid since everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I guess the tips still made you feel this way, so I changed the wordings to make them sound less opinion-national socialist.

Sure, but that's only when you assume that everybody is smart on the internet.
Like I mentioned before, the same argument can be used for Badspot's forum rules, but for some people, things just need to be clearly mentioned and worded out for them.

8. Don't make exact copies of other threads *glances at sentry*
I think this is already an official (but not listed) rule, but I'm not sure. I will add this to the tips until someone can confirm that Badspot actually enforces this rule.

But what about threads that are too old to post in?

Good point. I haven't seen any instance where this happened, but it still is a possibility.
Added to the list.

if its not within the top 5 pages or so. I make a new thread. to hell with people trying to run a mega thread. those shouldn't even exist.

Ephialtes locked my post about Furries and told me to post it on the furry megathread where all the "bullstuff" belongs. I totally agree that you should be able to post outside of the megathread, but I'm not sure about them not supposing to exist.

And wow, you seem to get away with saying lots of risky stuff on the forums. People must love you.

From the perspective of outsiders who don't want to see whatever it is that they don't like for whatever reason, megathreads act as "quarantine zones". From the perspective of insiders, megathreads act as a "safety zone" where they can do their own little thing with a reasonable expectation of not being flamed to a crisp.

I guess this is true for most megathreads like ponies and furries, since they are special interestes that not everybody has.
But computers won't get anybody flamed though.

So?
It's a topic that exists to simplify discussion of anything computer related, so that you don't have a clusterpoop of topics about it and the people who know what they're talking about will be more likely to see it and respond.
