[Forum Guide] How to clean up the Realm Forums šŸ™‚

Consider it a suggested one. If some folk are interested in the specifics I’ve shared my contact details already.

Nope!

You could ask for a separate list/make a custom list, no?

Phew, I hate getting on people’s bad sides, it makes me feel very bad. <-<

HOLY BASED in a complete sentence

Yeah absolutely. I just think personal suggestions don’t really belong in a helping guide.

It’s like the thread about vulpera lore a few weeks ago that contained less actual lore and more the individuals opinions.

Idk if I’m being clear in what I mean.

I think they can be part of it as much as anything. It’s only a suggestion, after all. And I have a feeling that a lot of people might agree with at least some on the list.

read: put your hands over your ears against differing opinions

Very true.

It’s a sample of repeat miscreants who, as you have seen from the list, are there as they are the same people I kept getting contacted about regarding a forum block. As stated, if someone wants to know who exactly they are I can share that via private messages over Discord or In-game.

At the same time so far 10 people contacted me over Disc for the aforementioned IDs/characters so I’m already happy with helping a few indiciduals :slight_smile:

Edit: make that 15…

True, but the thing is that AD isn’t a house of commons: You’re not entitled to me having to listen to you or have a conversation with you, or vice versa.

You could say that it’s a lazy cop-out but I personally think that if people don’t want to spend their time engaging with people they dislike during their free time, all the more power to them.

i get what u mean and kinda agree but in this case it’s a well-vetted appropriate list.

Peer reviewed.

Saying that implies that you’re unable to resist replying to someone you know you dislike or something. I simply disagree, but yes, everyone can do as they like; that’ll never be a point of contest.

For anyone who has used this before, I’m assuming there are quite a few names on this particular suggested list, does it not make a lot of threads look really weird and disjointed where there are replies to posts you can’t see etc?

Like missing half of a conversation. If it’s one or two posters being blocked I’m sure the impact isn’t huge, but the list in the OP is quite long!

Really? You think so?

There’s several, -several- people on these forums that just can’t help to reply when they are called out. I myself have no such problem, but I know alone more people than I can count with my both hands that are incapable of doing so.

Half of it are people from the same guild who, to my limited (read: filtered) knowledge haven’t posted in ages because of a forum vacay. Others are frequent posters but since their contributions are zero sum replies their absence doesn’t affect the threads at all.

There’s probably a middleground between those two groups but that’s why it’s a suggested list. When people contact me I give them all the matching characters and they can just omit those they don’t mind.

Yeah this is cool, miss me with that differing opinions though - between the doxing fence-sitter, the dragon RPer who sees the forums as a philosophical battleground and the carbon-copy OOC griefers there’s probably a handful of people on the forums I could hold a discussion with, who aren’t bad faith arguers. The list included seems more like guidelines and you can always hit the person up on Bnet for advice or to source other names.

I’m not on that list am I?

Nope! You’re safe.

That sounds like a personality/-impulse problem. If you think the solution is the band aid fix of ignoring people, that creates the (very prominent to AD) echo chamber problem.

If I’m faced with a choice between the these two, then yes, I do really think so.

Whew, thankfully I’m not that well-known. Oh, what’s thi-…

Well :poop:

I ignore 0 people on this forum because there’s no point visiting if you’re not here to have it out but Faceslinger I think you might be on a mad one when you imply that vanishing posts by 1.4k rated stablemasters / unsubbed players dishonours the integrity of the Roman Senate / you will be stripped of your rank as a philosopher king & forum hardman if you put some posters on ignore

To spin a 6 paragraph ā€œsteam of consciousnessā€ rant about who-knows-what as some deep intellectual counterpoint that you need to read carefully and use as the antithesis in your latest piece of hegelian dialectics (yea, I played fallout new vegas, im kind of a brainiac) is a misrepresentation + not something grounded in reality
