Let's talk about passive aggression through the words of our own forum members
Here is the goal of this forum via its guidelines:
>This board is all about fostering a healthy community in which discussions can revolve around player behavior systems, in-game suspensions, or boards moderation. This includes topics on how the systems work, insight into why players were punished, and advice to help players improve moving forward.
That's fine and seems okay.
Now let's look at some of the comments from the new section of this forum:
>Grow up.
>The fact that you didn't learn your lessons back at that point can only be blamed at a single person, we must all take responsibility for our own shit.
>they should of skipped straight to the perma ban.
> for one would call this guy a kid
>And here we see the wild bronze in it's natural habitat. Blissfully ignorant of their surroundings, the bronzes like to convince themselves that they're not bad by blaming what is known as "hacks".They also don't know how warlords works apparently. Judging by your post history, nothing is going to convince you, so lets just not even bother
>Wait, you play since S2 and still in bronze ? You must be banned for hacking bronze all those years :D
>And human eyes quickly found the truth...that the only thing you improved, was the cleverness of your toxicity.
>"wrongfully", "permabanned", Pick one.
>Logs or gtfo, scrub.
>So you are a toxic troll and you finally got what you deserve and you are upset over this? +3 upvotes for this
>Please don't make another account if this how you will behave.
>Too lazy, didn't read. You deserved it. End of story.
I'm not seeing "fostering a healthy community", I'm seeing "let's take a dump on someone who can be exploited". It's also looking more like a revenge porn type of deal here where people are legitimately trying to have fun at other people's misery. I'm also seeing a ton of subtle toxicity that is really just passive aggression.
I'm not going to name names, because quite frankly, if you look at the names, it's the same 20-30 people every single time. They know who they are. I've even called them out for being RBSC members and I do stick by it.
I think it's time that the mods either get serious around here or the forum undergoes a massive cleansing, because I consistently see and report posts that are harassing and I don't feel that the overall guidelines are really being met. Due to the way the upvoting system is, it also seems to be more of a contest over who can say the meanest thing while making it look like they are "helping". And overall, I just don't think this is a good path for this forum to go on.
