[Forum Guide] How to clean up the Realm Forums 🙂

can’t believe i earlier in this thread thought umay was en route to a redemption arc

[Ortellus-moonglade]

Cant claim to speak for Levy but having agreed with her post, I think what is unhealthy is promoting the idea of instantly ignoring people you disagree with. As per my last post: “creating your perfectly deluded reality of what the server is like”.

It’s the same argument against bubble RP - that its far more productive and healthier for the wider community for people to talk about matters. I’ve come to modify my own points of view by reading posts from people who I disagree with on many points.

i think umay has just gone crazy

[Umay-argent-dawn]

Serves you right for having faith in AD

This right here.

I disagree with a bunch of things with some people on AD, but just like in school. “You can’t be everyone’s friend, but you sure as hell will have a smoother ride if you can tolerate the existance of another”

@Ortellus-moonglade

instantly

implying i haven’t roamed this forum for far too long having to tolerate the presence of people i rly do not like !

@Ortellus-moonglade

It’s the same argument against bubble RP

bubble rpers dont harass or intentionally mean to make me uncomfortable and don’t really deserve an ignore unlike some people tbf

[Utoobu-argent-dawn]

You can’t manufacture this kind of publicity artificially; the bad actors are poster children for the feature OP describes (and probably were on that list as well!)

classic

Never engage with me again. You no taste heathen.

[Ortellus-moonglade]

example today: I would have gone on believing that there wasnt elements of meta gaming surrounding someone that I held a neutral opinion on if I hadn’t commented on it. If Perroy had me on an ignore list, I wouldn’t have heard about the discord comms, but i stand v much corrected on the matter now.

If someone enjoys Classic? Power to them.

If someone enjoys 8.3? They are free to and power to them!

Pretty flawed comparison. I think you can imagine why but otherwise I’m open to elaborating.

@Ortellus-moonglade

I 100% agree.

But no one is going “what the flipping heck, did [poster X] just disagree with me!? ON THE BLOCK LIST!!”

We are talking people who have over a longer period of time proven to be very consistent in their incredibly sh*tty attitudes. That’s the kind of thing you generally block people for. And honestly, I think that’s a pretty healthy thing to do.

@Scrappy-argent-dawn

bubble rpers dont harass or intentionally mean to make me uncomfortable and don’t really deserve an ignore unlike some people tbh

Sure, but where does it stop? If it becomes a 15 sec job to erase someone who doesnt make you uncomfortable but also holds an opinion you v much disagree with, then its a slippery slope.

edit: and i dont have faith in that not being an eventuality

[Athramus-argent-dawn-257317]

I actually liked your post and it made me smirk a few times.

Since the OP is bent on trying to isolate other players, I felt this comment was a pertinent statement to make.

@Distantpeak-argent-dawn

Hey! My friends are there. Imo, I miss the customization, but atleast the undead model is cool.

[Boltwrench-argent-dawn]

@Athramus-argent-dawn-257317

Instead, most people just copy-paste the arguments/speech of their social group.

People tend to reiterate the views of people they agree with. This is nothing new, nor necessarily bad, and certainly does not a hivemind make.

@Athramus-argent-dawn-257317

I feel a lot that attitude in your post, if I have to be honest.

Thanks for the psychological analysis, but I don’t remember asking for it.

@Athramus-argent-dawn-257317

Except I have counted four posts advertising the list, with two being a thread bump.

All contained within this 1x single forum thread.

@Umay-argent-dawn

for example, you’re not funny or amusing in the slightest, but you don’t see me holding that against you, do you? I don’t take your lack of wit as a personal attack or a sign of poor character, so why should you?

I don’t see it as a sign of poor character, because as you’ve stated, I’m not comical either. I surround myself with genuinely hysterical guild members so that I may live through them, and that’s as close to any comedy ability I’ll ever get.
You did attempt to compare your own ironic joking to Perroy, though, who I’m afraid to say is just that much better at it!

Still, I hope my stating that I don’t find you humourous did not cause too much upset!

That’s up to the individual’s preferences and if that’s how they roll, all the power to them

[Scrappy-argent-dawn]

@Ortellus-moonglade

i’ll make it a bit clearer

when i say “people i disagree with”, i mean people who, on a post about how jade witches are bad, will try to say “well, yes, but”, or when there’s a pretty solid agreement that n*zi’s are bad, in comes a guy that will try to say “well, but”

i don’t know if you’ve read my posts a lot but i love a good argument, i love debating with people, but i also have pretty low tolerance for people who die on the hill of really awful subjects

[Tehya-wildhammer]

@Ortellus-moonglade

had me on an ignore list

you’re not really on the nutjob level required to end up on an ignore list from any but the most fragile tbh.

@Moburon-argent-dawn

But no one is going “what the flipping heck, did [poster X] just disagree with me!? ON THE BLOCK LIST!!”

a rare few, maybe, but those are generally not interesting to talk to to begin with.

[Gizzyfius-argent-dawn]

@Tehya-wildhammer

Genuine question. What would you classify as “Nutjob Level” and would that same level also make you /Ignore this person in-game?

[Folktale-argent-dawn]

@Gizzyfius-argent-dawn

You have seen my list and that’s basically the Nutjob level.

I’ve had most of them on ignore ingame too because they are shamelessly obsessed with stupidity and toxivity when spamming a chat channel too
