Calling someone a moron on a topic that has been debated previously saves time. I don't like having the same conversation 19453789 times and that's all that seems to happen here. The same 4-5 topics are brought up over and over and over and over and over and I'm expected to contribute to them in a constructive manner every time they appear? Fuck that. Read what I wrote previously in some other thread with a nearly identical title if you want to read anything more well thought out.

Then don't post if you are so bored. NOBODY has the time to read through archives. If you have a point to make, make it. If not, stfu. Personal attacks have NO place in DS&T.

Nope. I'd rather people take the time to post something original instead. They shouldn't be coerced into discussing certain topics just because they have a sticky attached to them. A sticky means a topic is worthy of discussion, it grants that discussion more importance than any other.

LMFAO this comment just shows you have no clue. It's too dumb to even be considered an insult.

You get offended by me cos you have thin skin and then you say I should go away (or 'fuck off' probably knowing your level of talk), and yet here you are saying it's OK to insult people? Wtf are you on?

If you don't feel like contributing to a thread then fucking don't post. If you don't like the same 4-5 topics coming up then go to a different forum. It's reeeeal simple.

I'd rather people take the time to post something original instead.

And how, precisely, would you help do that? You're not being at all constructive here.

A sterile environment, where people could express any opinion they want without worry of being insulted to the point of embarrassment for holding them, sounds like the most boring place in the world.
This is DEBATE and SERIOUS TALK, not INSULT TO MY HEARTS CONTENT. Insults have NO place in this section.

If you can't keep a level head, this forum is NOT for you.

Gettit?
Man, I would care what you have to say, but you only have 15 karma so it's safe to ignore you.

So you study and abide by everything someone with Karma posts? Maybe I don't post that much because DS&T is filled with people like you. People that don't debate, or hold a serious conversation.

I don't think anything needs fixing, ppl can grow thicker skin and not take what is said on gaming forum so personal.

Or if its that rough, hit the report button and move on let a mod take care of it. If this might be the route then maybe hiring a few more level headed mods.

Ignorance is bliss. At least for you. You are NOT big, nor are you scary. And I have dealt with the "real world" longer then you have been in charge of your own life.

SEREMAKER: BABYMAKIN EXPERT √; +2,187|6575|Mountains of NC

Kmar should be bumped to Admin

Now I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn but I keep a level head and never go for the personal attack. Also, Turquoise is another excellent candiate for mod status and since we don't have a female on mod board how about Eifa

No disrespect to Eifa but I duno why mods should be appointed on their sex? Affirmative action? I definitely want some black people/Asians/Mexicans etc as admin then.

On the other hand, Eifa is Finnish so that'd fell two birds with one mouse click

Maybe get a different perspective on things, I see her on here the most out of the others and she seems to keep a level head.

I'm just tossing it out there as a suggestion.

Come on guys..FM has a point...and he is trying to come up with a way to make DST a little more inclusive. That's not a bad thing!

I like to partake in a good discussion every once in awhile in DST...but the "good" discussion only lasts the first page or so, then it reverts to back and forth bitching between 2-4 people. Typically, when this happens, any post made by someone outside those 2-4 people gets ignored just to continue the piss-fest. There have been claims that you want to hear from people that "know what they are talking about"...but what is clear to some of us is that you only want to argue AGAINST someone and not discuss.
