Well if you know so much, then why did poor old Jigga have to buy another account and start over on his graal life ;( I actually feel sorry for him now,

why is there constant "mature" human beings acting like special ed kids wherever I go?

I see better behavior on freaking UN then on these forums, and the UN kids aren't even old enough to be playing graal.

If you really are doing something about this, and MAYBE somehow you are, and they're just doing all of it under your nose, stuff like that happens.

I'll drop it now, before this Kia kid believes I'm an emo ;(

I saw his thread and didnt even bother posting because I already knew me telling him that he would be a completely failure wouldn't help him succeed at all.

Why not give someone constructive pointers to help them succeed? That is what Graal is seriously lacking.
More people might succeed, if more people would bother trying to help, or just say nothing if they have nothing constructive to say, instead of jumping all over them.
Not everyone will succeed of course, but more people might, and maybe not so many people will give up because, who wants to do anything for a community who is negative.

Then again, who wants to do anything for a community that is full of these old kids who stick together and say "hey, we oldbies. WE like gang. WE own place ya? ok shut up let us talk"

I don't see any oldbies getting permanently banned, if they've played since 2001, do you really think a 7 day ban will get into their heads?

Not really.

I am constantly doing something about it, as well as Sam, but some will continue, and you will never be able to get rid of it. All we can do is keep inforcing the rules, and keep it at a minimum. If we weren't doing something about it, these forums would be so much worse, trust me.
It is up to the people in the community to change in this area. It is the only way it will get better.

You don't see everything, and like I said, banning is a last result.

He couldn't handle the heat, when all people were doing were pointing out his flaws. He dragged it out and tried to make a big deal about it. If he'd have let it go, he might been in this conversation insulting you right now.

That's why this has got where it's at, you keep insulting people here and give them a reason to hate you, then complain they stick up for themselves

If you really are doing something about this, and MAYBE somehow you are, and they're just doing all of it under your nose, stuff like that happens.

Go through some threads, I'm sure 75% will have been editted by mods in some way, do to flaming or other infrations. You're not the only one who has problems, nor are you the only one who flips out

I'll drop it now, before this Kia kid believes I'm an emo ;(

I don't think you're emo, because even 'emo' kids have some respect.
I just think you're an idiot.

I'll drop it now

I highly doubt it.

Oh that sucks. Poor kid, you geeks ran him off these forums.. Battle of the smartest or the kid with the least flaws I guess ;(

Really? I'd love to see you show me where I'm insulting people who didn't start something with me, or insult someone else in the first place

Dun. and over 25% of them was only spam and stuff, last time I was here it took a moderator a day to give me a swearing infraction. Cool.

Well, destroying Era is a good enough reason to be a laughat for the rest of your life.

[Darlene159]

Sigh....it does no good to insult those who insult others. It's all the same in the end, just needles insults that destroy a community driven forum.

[elite_master]

Community driven? Now that's quite a load of monkey turd ;(

The only thing this community does is enjoy fighting with one another over who's the oldest, the best, or the one who deserves the win in the topic

The entire community does not think that way, but a lot do.
Your posts are not showing you to be any different.
Like I said before, insults are insults, whether it be insulting new members, or old.

Look, the members of Graal, for a large part, are very competitive. This creates a lot of insults, arguing, etc...
Should it be this way? No, but there is little we can do besides keep inforcing the rules, and hope some will stop.

Man ... all ya need to chill. Nothing wrong with the treatment of that thread or its responses. Dude just need to be more strategical. His server will die anyways.

[oinknessx]

Oh, man... Spark910... MoonGoddess... Good to see you guys again! Yeah, this is the first thread I check out now that I'm finally back. Welcome to Graal, rot in hell... good to be back.

When I looked at that person's post in the url, I thought it was Jigga.

What'd I do?

From what I can see, you were simply stating a fact. Though you did nothing to soften the blow, it was rather blunt.
