J-Max Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Darth has given me permission to repost this to discuss the overall Bad Attitude happening lately. Any Foul Attitude in this Topic will result in a 1 Week 20% Warning Level, Thank You. In the last Month or 2, I have seen nothing but Petty arguments between Members on the Forum. I have seen the Custom Cards section at near breaking point with the constant insults by Members regarding Custom Cards. Heck even the Mod Team is starting to get stressed wioth each other. Can't we all just calm down and enjoy YCM for what it is? A Internet Forum. The bad attitude of some members needs to stop, all it's doing is getting more and more people stressed and upset with each other. Sure this is a Virtual Place to chat about everyday things and to have fun, Yes I do understand that everything isn't Sugar Sprinkled and Rainbow coloured but can we tone the Bad Attitudes down just a little please? I also understand that we have seen a Influx of New Members, but can't we treat them the same that we treat more Experienced members? Star Level and Post Count means NOTHING. Sorry to bring this up but YCM will Rot from the inside out if order is not restored. Glasstin, you are more then welcome to Lock this but for the time being, just remember that this is a Internet Forum and was designed for fun. J-Max out.

Guest KAJN Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 [justify]Well see... when people register, they use the "I'm new" attitude. They will be Happy & say sorry & stuff right? But then, they see some older members acting like this so... they change. I try to keep my attitude normal but... I get insulted for it ._.[/justify] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Diviner Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I agree, it seems the forum gets worse by the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desu the Blue Nerd Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Advarice and faint made a good example of this in the last thread. As said this an internet forum, not a war zone. You are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 SO why don't even a few of us Members agree to try and cheer up a little around the forums hmmm? When voting on a Custom Card, try to give to honest advice instead of "YOUR CARD SUCKS!" When you have a Dispute with another Member try to keep it out of YCM. Just a few small things could improve the overall Aura of the Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spire Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Yes, I fully agree. It's only an internet fourm. It's just for fun. It was very fun a while back, but now some things are just getting out of hand and us members who just come here for fun, like myself, are starting to get annoyed at such posts. My message to people: Relax. So there is the odd noob who spams, but seriously, so what? They get banned and everything is sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
§hadow §triker Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 This is true. The arguments can get, or are, annoying. And i saw why the old one was locked, and i understand why. It proves exactly what this is saying. This should be posted in the news section, cuz it kinda makes sense, i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jono Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I lol'd at how fast Avarice and Faint tore the other one apart. Anyway, I honestly couldn't care less if a member is new or not, I treat them the same. I help if they need help. And I don't rate cards, I rate GFX. That's where constructive criticism is good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all member should be treated equally, regardless of how long they've been here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prada Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Experienced members A term that should be used loosely. Most people seem to think that how long the person has been on the forum or high their post count is determines the person's experience on YCM. Truthfully, about half of YCM members with more than 1,000 are just as bad or worse than new members. Most people here use horrible grammar, flame, spam, and, me having this as well, have huge egos. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KAJN Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 [justify]Well the right objective is to influence other members in changing their attitude, I am not so sure about Avarice or Faint..., Anyway, the wrong objective is that we Signaturize[a new word :]] a "PEACE" mark.[/justify]Well the right objective is to influence other members in changing their attitude, I am not so sure about Avarice or Faint..., Anyway, the wrong objective is that we Signaturize[a new word :]] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I meant Experienced more in the sense of helping Newbies, and generally being nice people. Seems that's changed a lot these days. I just hope that in the creation of this Topic that you understand my feelings on the matter. I can probally guess that a few of you feel the same way as well. YCM just needs an inhection of Happy lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neiko Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 "Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." -Unknown.I like this one and I believe it applies here as well. I agree 100% J-Max.

【Demonic Queen】 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Well you know I am not that long at YCM, but I have had my share off experience from other forums. Its just that the older members think there better only because they are there longer, its like thinking your better then someone just because your older. But I agree you should be nicer to new people that way you not only help the forum by making sure more active members will be here, most likely the newer members that do stay will not begin to ego trip also. I think people should treat other people the way they want to be treated by them. thats the way everyone should treat each other (In most cases), so even though I am not that long on YCM and really noticed Bad Attitude a lot yet I am agree on this.

Raelen Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I've realized this fact around the forum lately as well. In fact, even I am starting to get mean! ^_^I will try to control my feelings on the forum and I hope people can look to me as an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sick4u Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 This site is a site run by 20 or so year old's; and if not; people who inspire to act like 20 year old's in order to impose jurisdiction over a bunch of 10 year old's who cannot, for the life of them, learn self-control. Basically; this place is like a family. A premature; dysfunctional family that funking hates each other. Why? Because we can. Because we will. Because Freedom has become nothing more than an excuse; as apposed to an opportunity. I believe the forum's state is simple. As long as there's something to hate; something to discriminate; something to appose; problems will amass and continue. Hell, you people say you hate it, but you also contribute to it. You also hate. You also continue to call out; dominate and somehow try to over-compensate for your shitty little lives. Bah. funk it. funk the perfection. funk the styling. funk the conformity. funk the hierarchy. funk the reprimand. funk you. Why? Because I can. As can everyone else. We all know that in winning War; it's not about the fighting. It's about the control. You control your rival into being forced to surrender; as apposed to storming their gates with 5,000 men. Stop storming the gates of hate; you're only going to lose. You want to control it? Too bad. Freedom cannot be controlled. Especially when it isn't in a physical sense. You cannot appose conflict. You cannot appose hate. You cannot appose self-exclusion. You can, by all means, try, but the end result is unchangeable. The end result is merely it continues. It survives. For you never controlled the hate and difference on the forum; only attacked it; leaving winning as an option no longer. Tldr; You're doing it wrong. That is all.
