ok, i've been reading all the posts about postwhoring, superbolt incident, etc. everyone keeps getting on insulting everyone else for nothing. what does it do? create problems. doesn't anyone know that the best way to get someone to go away is to just ignore them. if someone is annoying you, ignore them. trust me, eventually, they'll go away.
someone comes and posts up bashing AO. everyone is quick to respond and defend they're favorite online activity to the fullest. don't get me wrong, i love agd and all my mags, but when everyone slams him, what's he going to do? he's going to retaliate. i know if someone attacks me, i'm going to defend myself. not only that, the people that come here just to deliberately attack AO and AGD, are just looking for attention. all your doing is giving them what they want.
postwhoring. there are a few people here that have had their post counts reset for their inane number of posts that have inadequate content. i'm not going to single out anyone and mention names, but everyone knows who i'm talking about. is someone that has 2000 posts in 2 months really going to affect you in any way whatsoever? is it really that hard to just skip someones 5 word post? does it really bother you that much to see someone's name on here? the answer to these questions is no, absolutely not(except maybe the third one, kinda the whole point). so what if someone spends all their free time looking at every single post of every single thread in every forum. if that's what makes them happy, screw it, let them. shouldn't having the only thing to do participating on an online paintball forum, punishment enough? i know having a life off of the computer is better than one on. just be happy you aren't one of them. obviously i don't like them posting 1 sentence posts, but they do. let them have what they consider, their fun.
things like the superbolt incident and "AGDtech jon flipped me off" thing only encourage them. how many people here know who Boneisagod is? everyone!!!! how many of you know who shartley is? probably most of you, i'd say like 70%. what has shartley given us? great insight and information on opinions and future products that AGD has coming. always backs up his opinions with proven data(his or others, nevertheless proven) and is always helpful to others where he feels he can help. not to mention he's a civil, well mannered, respectable person that will never slander anyone, even if he disagree's with them or their opinion. what did Bone do? cause a lot of heartache to people that only help all of us here and a lot of money to those same people. he cause a problem so big, that they're still feeling the repricussions from his actions. I'm sure they were counting the sails of all the emags with the superbolts instead of the bill for the re-shippment of them and refunds of purchased superbolts. why is it that someone so immature and troublesome is more well known that others that are helpful? that to me is horrible and discraceful.
in the long run, what it really boils down to is attention. a lot of these problems and problem makers are only looking for attention, and they are getting it. good or bad attention, it doesn't matter. as long as they get one or the other, they are content. i'm the youngest child, i know all about it, and i see it here. this is Tom Kaye's website. he has enough mods to watch the threads for what he deems appropriate and inappropriate behavior. if they don't do anything about it, then it must be acceptable to them and it should be to you. if they don't want someone posting the things that they post, they'll stop them. if they don't like the number of posts that they'll have, they'll delete them. if it something bothers you that much, get as people as you can to start a "petition thread" and sign it to maybe have a problem resolved. if they see a large number of people dislike something on a thread, i'm sure they'll take action. don't just waste yours and everyone else's time by just bad mouthing someone that will just create and prolong a problem. organizing and rationalizing the numbers is how you get action. one person voicing thier opinion doesn't do anything.
and lastly, shartly- i hope you didn't mind me using you. it was in good context and you fit the purpose.
thank you for reading my ramblings. just something i feel needed to be said.
