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

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

Nope!

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

Phew, I hate getting on peopleā€™s bad sides, it makes me feel very bad. <-<

HOLY BASED in a complete sentence

Yeah absolutely. I just think personal suggestions donā€™t really belong in a helping guide.

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

Idk if Iā€™m being clear in what I mean.

I think they can be part of it as much as anything. Itā€™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.

Itā€™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 Iā€™m already happy with helping a few indiciduals :slight_smile:

Edit: make that 15ā€¦

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

You could say that itā€™s a lazy cop-out but I personally think that if people donā€™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 itā€™s a well-vetted appropriate list.

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

For anyone who has used this before, Iā€™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 canā€™t see etc?

Like missing half of a conversation. If itā€™s one or two posters being blocked Iā€™m sure the impact isnā€™t huge, but the list in the OP is quite long!

Really? You think so?

Thereā€™s several, -several- people on these forums that just canā€™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 havenā€™t posted in ages because of a forum vacay. Others are frequent posters but since their contributions are zero sum replies their absence doesnā€™t affect the threads at all.

Thereā€™s probably a middleground between those two groups but thatā€™s why itā€™s a suggested list. When people contact me I give them all the matching characters and they can just omit those they donā€™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 thereā€™s probably a handful of people on the forums I could hold a discussion with, who arenā€™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.

Iā€™m not on that list am I?

Nope! Youā€™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 Iā€™m faced with a choice between the these two, then yes, I do really think so.

Whew, thankfully Iā€™m not that well-known. Oh, whatā€™s thi-ā€¦

Well :poop:

I ignore 0 people on this forum because thereā€™s no point visiting if youā€™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
