Re: We have gone mad. :)

So annoying -_-* It's like a little Prussia following you around. You try to get help, but ROME doesn't want to help. The only person who will help is Russia...... and he's a little messed up. But so cute *.* Still, you can't stay there forever.

Re: We have gone mad. :)

Jeez, I go offline for 4 days and everything breaks out in flames!
So: It seems that a lot of Scratchers agree that things have been getting out of hand lately, and that the conflicts make Scratch and the forums less fun.

So I'll put the question to you guys: What's the best way to deal with this problem, and to help keep the forums friendly and sane?

It seems like the 'get angry at the angry people!' approach hasn't worked out so well...

Meanwhile, I will say that it's always necessary to be respectful of others on Scratch, so mean comments or posts about anyone are not ok. If a mod has to clean up after after a poster more than once, it's likely they'll get blocked for at least a little while, and longer if they've been warned or blocked before.

Unban those who have been banned in the fight, and make sure no fighting breaks out.
There. Problem solved.

Re: We have gone mad. :)

I'm not sure how to fix the problem. =P Moderators are always a good idea. and if a "suspicious" topic turns out someone should check it out and if there is flamming and such alert the Scratch Team (though it seems theres alot of their plate already without it.). Then theres always the obvious: STOP THE HATRED.  smile

Every day I find three or so new arguments in Miscellaneous, discussing about how animations are bad, art is bad, games are bad, RPGs are bad - most of those threads are closed in one day, despite the fact that they have already reached five or more pages!  yikes

More and more threads appear, and more and more flames appear.

At the same time, there's a scuffle about post counts - I'm passing you, NOOOOOOOOOO YOU PASSED ME, haha I passed you back, NOOOOOO I'M BANNED - that type of stuff.  hmm

It feels like the entire Miscellaneous community went mad...  hmm

Haha. You're right. It's sad  sad

I noticed the amazing amount of work Paddle2See had gone through closing threads. I saw like 10 threads being opened and closed. Some even deleted.

I wasn't ever part of the conversation, I stayed to the little island of hope in the sea of chaos.

I hope my metaphors say something.

You inspired me for an RPG in TBG  tongue


On Topic: I agree, very much. Why can't they just accept who we are? And by we, I mean the gamers and animators accept art makers and RPGers, and the art makers and RPGers to accept the gamers and animators.

Lately there's been nothing but fighting in there. It's sad but it must be done

Re: We have gone mad. :)

Let's not jump to extremes. Miscellaneous has been pretty calm up until just recently.

Everyone just needs some time to cool down, then it'll be back to normal.  smile


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

There are many more ways to use your brain that fight in Miscellaneous...  tongue

I agree with fg123 - and I'm proud!  big_smile
Fortunately, some users aren't active at the moment... so they won't shout at me and accuse me of sucking up to the moderators...  roll

Should I suggest that Miscellaneous be deleted/closed? After all, it's just a chatroom (doesn't Scratch have a "no chatroom" policy?)... and it's full of horrible flames and arguments.  hmm

I think all the old arguments that we went through last time still apply - if Misc were closed, the posts would just move over to other parts of our forums.  So it probably makes sense to keep it.

Actually, I think if misc was closed, then the people who argue would leave. And the ones who migrate to a different section of the forum and start posting there are warned not to do it.

Don't take it the wrong way Chris, I'm not posting in your thread to help you, I just didn't want to make a new thread and this one fit the bill

It's gotten to a point where I actually agree with you.
