Some Thoughts and Suggestions

[Genersis]

The site feels like it's changed quite a lot in such a short space of time.

I've never seen anything quite like it, but I have been on many forums over the last decade, and feel like I might share a few thoughts that may help defuse the tensions here:

1) It's probably best to avoid posts that mention, even in a vague manor, your grievances with other posters(singular, or a group).
All this does is trigger more flaming and arguing(of the pointless, done to death, variety).
Additionally the posters you stir-up will then be more likely to complain about you in another post, and thus the cycle continues.

2) If you find yourself sensitive to certain topics and tend to take things personally in relation to it, consider posting your view on the topic; then make as few posts after that as necessary.
This is a forum site for recreational use; if you find yourself getting really stressed/angry when responding to someone or something, it might be worth evaluating if it's even worth responding.


Feel free to completely ignore this post if you don't agree(they are just suggestions).
Heck, I'm not even much good at following the above, but I thought it could possibly be useful to some people; so why not share it? Could be helpful.

Regardless,
Have a good day.

We seem to have a few new people coming in that are not exactly friendly or even like this forum yet they return. It is odd.

Not with regards to your post but it seems people don't like to ignore things and would rather go into a topic with guns blazing, and by that I mean belittling and quasi-baiting people into arguments.

Oh I couldn't agree more, Genersis. You are right on the money!

So true. Some are just here to troll.

I've lost count to how many times people thought a topic wasn't worthy of a discussion. Unless the information is misleading, such posters should get an infraction. Again, mods:
