Ugh, I completely agree.
I'm an old and I think respected member of the community, and I really don't like it when someone says to me "do this is that here good sir! :)" and treat me like someone new, and I really don't like it when someone posts a quad nuke if them glitching with Superarmor and Minigun and say "what a great accomplishment!"
Um, I have to disagree here. Either the example Brawler gave wasn't the best, or I just have a different opinion on this subject. Firstly, the forums are overly negative as it is, so a little positivity is much appreciated. Secondly, in the clan example, why not say something nice? It's better than not saying anything at all, or just being plain mean.
Thirdly, @REZRAQ, there is no way to 100% know what someone's intentions were behind a post, so assuming that it was to gain a positive rating is unfair. The least we should do if we suspect such reasoning is give the poster the benefit of our doubt.
@BrawlerAce_, I see no reason for this to annoy you. Perhaps I would be able to understand what you are trying to say better if you further explained your reasoning and gave a better example with a link.
@randomcitizen1 I partly agree with you but if you say to a noob/hacker/targetter caller and a disliked member, "I know the clan will do well with you as owner", thats a bit logicless. But i dont mind if they say good luck. I actually like that.
I do agree with you that response probably wasn't the response most people expected if indeed that was exactly what the mod said. However, said mod was still being nice to the person who posted the clan thread, so if they said that, it's perfectly fine with me.
Personally, I don't mind people being nice to those who aren't the nicest. If you think about it, they are the ones who need to be shown kindness more than anyone else.
Random, I feel that some staff sugar coat everything. Positivity is good, but overly positive is bad. And then it turns into generic responses, like "Good luck with your clan, I'm sure it'll do great!" to everyone.
Well, I see no big problem with generic responses. But telling basicly lies, nomatter how positive they are, is wrong. But I agree with @randomcitizen1 that the rude players need kindness. But they also need to be told that their behaviour is inappropriate. Because if you say " you are nice and friendly" to a rude player, they will not stop being rude.
@REZRAQ, I agree with what you are saying. There is a time for gentleness, but there is also a time for stern reprimand. It depends on how the wrongdoer will respond to either. Usually, in the case of your everyday minor-transgressor, the best route is to use tact and kindness. However, there are some who need to be taught a stern lesson.
So Brawler, if I understand you correctly, your thinking is:"some mods" are being "overly-kind" when they should be more stern, and this is getting in the way of them being able to do their jobs effectively. Is this accurate?
In response to your second comment, yes and no. I believe they shouldn't overdo the kindness. That doesn't necessarily mean more stern, just less false kindness and more actual kindness.
I see where you are coming from Brawler, but that is assuming too much to think that they are being falsely kind. You cannot guess their intentions with 100% accuracy. Who can discern the truth from mere pixels on a screen?
Perhaps they are being genuinely kind. At the least, give them the benefit of the doubt, and do not be troubled by it. This is a very negative mindset to fall into, and it won't serve you or those around you Brawler.
But you're not assuming enough. You're basically leaving yourself blind. Assumptions are needed to go on, but they shouldn't be overdone. It's blatantly obvious when it's fake kindness. You' ez got to realize that it's not like ratings, which are more generic and more masked.
Im going to settle innetween your opinions. Kindness is good. But kindness towards a rude player that makes him think that his/her behaviour is appropriate when it's not, is wrong. However, I don't think its false kindness, but kindness in a wrong place/situation.
Assumptions like this are not always correct. Just because it seems like false kindness, doesn't mean that it is. I am not saying that you should be blind to this Brawler, you already think you see it. I am saying that you should ignore it.
That way, you are choosing to not let yourself be affected by such trivial things, and not harming anyone in the process by formulating opinions about them that are potentially wrong.
It is extremely easy to tell when there is false kindness. I would rather be a bit more critical than be naive and foolish. But this is my opinion.
Please respect my opinion, I'm tired of the alert spam coming from all the people posting here.
Alright Brawler. I am sorry for the alert spam. I was only trying to help you out m8. I didn't want this to bother you, and I was worried you would become bitter.
Not that you were being bitter, I just don't want you to grow bitter by stewing over the false kindness you see. Just promise me that you won't let this harm you.
Otherwise, expect me to try to convince you to let it go. That's what friends are supposed to do. If they see something that is not the best for their friends, they will try to help them out. That's what I was trying to do for you m8.
