ITS ALL ABOUT THE GAMES.

No, it happens quite often! Letting someone know personally that you think they're an idiot or whatever is fine and whatnot, but when you talk about a person further in a relatively private setting with ones friends, that's back talking and it happens on GW a lot.

The best part of your posts is that avatar. It's funny picturing some random anime vixen in a suggestive pose complaining about internet forum politics

She's Aya Brea..​ I guess enough people haven't played/heard of Parasite Eve? Ah well.

also no that's not BACKTALKING. if I say idly "christ that Magi dude is such a fucking dick" and then yeah, tell him he's a fucking dick, there's no backtalking. you and Nightblade and company like to believe there is a secret cadre of IRC goons just flexing their fingers because maybe once someone invited you to a private chat about a gw issue and someone also said "fuck that one guy" and now you think it's the norm but I've been a mod, admin, and staff, and I can more or less guarantee you any backtalking or insulting behind the scenes is limited to "UGH THAT FUCKING STEEL GUY" (and if you have a problem with this you have a problem with all societies ever so shut up), not something actually mean like "GOOD: CANCER...GOOD." or blacklists of stupid members. I remember Nightblade once posted "*smirk* nice to see Barkley insulted me" and Chef was completely lost because mods, admins, whoever, we do not keep track of you idiots. if you are consistently stupid you're just a dumb guy, there's no secret illuminati mark of Cain.

Now you're just taking what I said to an entirely different degree. I know you're going to have some sort of compulsion to retort to this like you do pretty much everyone but for the record I'm not going to respond to it if that's what you're looking for. I'm done talking to you! There's a lot of backtalking on GW, that's just how it is.

hey guy that kind of shit happens EVERYWHERE. Were you homeschooled or something because uh that is pretty much just how the world is.

Of course. But of course 1. This doesn't justify people gleefully doing it on GW (but that's a weak point I admit), and 2. It happens more on GW than any internet community I've ever, ever been on ever. It's like its a vertebrae on the backbone of GW's social structure, it's a damn shame.

boo hoo, mog. you've been going on about this for a while now, and i really don't see what your big problem is. in the process of socialising, conflicts based on many different things are bound to pop up and people get an urge to talk about this kind of thing. sometimes, they even talk about a problem they have with someone when that person isn't around - sometimes it's even preferred because then there aren't even any consequences!

you are taking MAN THAT IS GUY LAME talk way too seriously. if people were going around "i hear that guy's a serial rapist - tell everyone except him!" then okay but we are not talking about criminal accusations. basically, you are whining over almost nothing - i'm not saying i am a fan petty insults when people aren't around, but are you really so insecure that you can't stand the thought that people might be talking about you without your knowledge? that's your problem, not Gaming World Forums'.

and really, any shit people might say would be said anywhere. even to their e-face. do you really everyone is afraid to call someone names on the internet? there is nothing stopping anyone from saying anything they like to anyone at any time and most people do.

i wouldn't even respond cos this is silly but you keep going on about it jeeeeeeez.

I really couldn't care less, dude. I'm just saying.

I still don't know whether I fit in or not, really! There are a lot of people I like and would be fairly friendly with, but regarding GW as a whole I'm not sure where I stand... Mainly because I don't go into Post 9/11 World that much and don't use IRC, I guess.
Also I actually like the whole outwardly confrontational attitude here, it's nice to see people calling out someone who's being an asshole instead of just going "well, let's agree to disagree" or whatever. It's more entertaining, anyway.

It happens more on GW than any internet community I've ever, ever been on ever.

this is either because you have no idea what the real community is and they are making fun of you or you're lying.

seriously show me the magic communities where they aren't like "oh shit, it's -x- again, ugh".

and then show me how they are decent in any way if they don't.

ps nightblade that is not what a runon sentence means.

You also seem to ignore the fact that certain members, and even moderators are allowed to break their own rules while others are penalized at the drop of a pin. Is that not elitism?

burden of proof on accuser.

so that's how it is eh?


what-ever, Feldschlacht IV. what-ever.

*finds one out of context example of steel saying calling someone an asshole for advocating child rape versus one of WIP being warned for calling someone an asshole because they misplaced a tileset*

*rests on laurels*

Despite the whole backtalking thing I said earlier, that's one of the things I do like about GW; that if you feel so inclined, you could just say "HEY FUCK YOU PAL" and everything would still be fine as long as you said it in the proper context. A lot of communities are too padded for their own good.

well clearly you do because you keep bringing it up. Would you prefer this place to be like a lot of other internet communities where everyone is running around giving *glomps* xD and *huggles* ^_^;; and moderators are forced to behave like robots in order to uphold stupid forum rules? This community has a whole ton of its own flaws but at least it's more closely grounded towards reality and the people here behave and talk like actual humans would.

I'm not saying that GW is terrible or anything. I'm just repeatedly pointing out some of its flaws. Why? I just got off work and felt like it I guess. Oh well. I'm honestly not trying to sabotage the conversation.

Why does everyone have to give the worst possible alternative when these conversations come up? It's not very realistic.

The first reply was actually:

edit: sorry, bart was doing stuff on gw and I thought it was exclusive to this topic.

I'm going to read this and give you a better reply in a sec.

Maybe he said YOU ARE GAY at first but clearly that's pretty irrelevant.

Four posts later Drule in fact said YOU ARE GAY and went unpunished, but Drule isn't a mod, admin, or staff member, and the topic was in fact pretty gay so there goes your point.

edit: you did say CERTAIN MEMBERS so i guess your point still stands, except not really because the members that you are probably talking about actually have more warns than a lot of other members so.

I'm pretty bored (and tired!), so, I apologize if my part of the discussion is rather lacking.
