trolls. fanboys. general insults.

Post by nickfil »

I've seen a rise lately in all 3. Can we try to keep it down a little.
All i ask is that you please think before you post.

Posts where x is better than y and anyone who likes x is stupid doesn't further a healthy dialogue and doesn't accomplish anything.

Posts where someone is trying to be funny by intensely and venomously attacking someone else for no reason (or for very little reasons) aren't funny, or interesting. Posts that bait this reaction are likewise uninspired.

Please report threads rather than contributing in the abuse.

I'm not trying to call specific people out, I'm just saying that I enjoy this forum because usually racketboy tends to rise above the fray. Lets try to keep it that way.

agreed.

trolling, fanboyism and general snarkiness just seem to go against the ethos of this site.

I'm all up for debating subjects, but when it gets into name calling and baiting, I just bail out.

Ignoring the ignorant is usually the best tactic.

Remember you can solve this by being a douche to your woman, wearing nikes, having an incredible amount of self confidence(or doucheyness if you will), and exerscing. :lol: Excuse the poor grammer..

Wow exactly what not to do in this thread.

I bit my tongue last night on anything that annoyed me, and will do so from now on. The moderators will take care of things in due time, or I can wait till the school year starts back up for the kids.

We prefer that people are reported to mods/admins
It's less messy that way.
Wish I could focus on working on content instead of having to babysit.

I'm 15 and I'm not the problem. Wasn't the point of this thread to point out insults like that shouldn't be tolerated or am I missing something? Maybe I'm just being sensitive.

All the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they screamin
All the ballers is bouncin they like the way I be leanin
All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us make it
