it's always been someone instigating
You've got a point there, Adin.
It's not that Snake derails
It's that he says something excruciatingly pointless and then people jump on him for it every time, and he never learns.
because this isnt a contest to have some perfect looking drama thread
post a thread on who is being a twit with a few pics and thats the end of it. no need to turn this into an einstein project. frankly i find these 'professionally organised' drama threads annoying as hell to read.
what crawled up your ass and died? Nobody was treating this like a competition, I did this in my free time in the hope that it would help the community. Nobody is getting any fame out of this. A "professionally organized" drama upsets you? You're kidding right?
You'd rather have to spend 10 minutes just trying to understand the drama, rather than being able to immediately find the information you were looking for?
This is great, but there needs to be a chapter explaining how to reply to dramas so people (like me) don't end up derailing the tread accidentally, or have people reply with walls and roofs of text.
Stay on topic, go easy on the jokes (limit yourself to one per thread, two at most), avoid pointing people out, If you're going to make a wall of text break it up into paragraphs by idea. Walls of text typically end up being the big fights, and typically they're the more organized ones. I don't recall seeing a wall of text having a ban message, but if you slip in a statement like "I'm a troll" without any sort of statement that you're NOT a troll, then I guess you could be in line for a perma.
I think posting is pretty straight forward to be honest. That, and there are just too many opinions and ways to say what we intend to say, it would just end up being really complex trying to explain it all.
