Below why don't you

idk bro, you're getting pretty worked up over a joke. Or is typing eight paragraphs worth of responses not classified as getting mad anymore?

 

I want to give this a proper reply but I'm helping my friend on the phone ._.

 

This is why we can't have new people.

 

Could you? Side with me or not, at least I didn't presict your coming on page 1. They're like an anti-me brigade who show up after bashing me in a Skype chat. Is it really that coincidental that four people who never post show up and discredit me? I'd at least like to hear from another regular

 

is there some khv apprenticeship program i'm not aware of
would have really helped when i first joined
dammit why people gotta hide thigns from me

 

And yet I've helped more new people and you've vanished. You see paragraphs, but have you read them? I've bee open and honest with the boy, and even asked him personal questions[DOUBLEPOST=1413053798][/DOUBLEPOST]

Nah, he was just getting bullied hard back then and we exchanged a lot of PMs on how to prevent it

 

Could it possibly have anything to do with how rude you are all the time towards people who have a differing opinion to you, or who don't think the way you do? maybe. I dunno.

 

Asking personal questions doesn't have to be a good thing. You could have asked him "do you literally eat poop?", would that have been alright just because it's a personal question?

 

But context. :|

 

I didn't vanish. I'm here every day lol. I just don't post as much. Yes, I did read the thread and I agree that you were unecessarily abrupt with KD, and acted pretty arrogant in regard to this being 'your' forum and your self-imposed position of quality controller. Besides, you haven't been here for 8 years at all. You have been absent for just as long as I have, if not more. Not that forum tenure really matters.


EDIT: way to post, self

 

I was out shopping and suddenly at once I felt an urgency to run home and come on KHV. Like I was being summoned.

Just kidding, I have nothing to say. Just gonna make some popcorn.

 

Hai, Mish!

 

Thanks.

Accepting people for who they are and the things they do is part of an open community, telling people to get them out of your face is rude, you could structure your sentences better to reflect a well intentioned request, in the history of choices made, who do you think would win out: The guy who tells someone to do something, or the guy who requests something not be used in a respectful manner.

Well when people are rude to me, I am fully inclined to ignore them and any "suggestion" they intend to make. Manners cost absolutely nothing.

Wrong once again, I would also mention I am at the start of a 4 year university course, I don't own a PS3, I don't own any xbox, and in no way could I afford to buy either of the consoles required to play Kingdom Hearts III.

Some of our now premium members... does that mean, that they to like me used memes? I'm guessing the distaste is yours alone, and until someone with manners asks me to use something else, I will not change. Politeness makes a huge difference, you could say it makes all the difference in the world.

I shouldn't do something you admire? I should just bow and allow people to think they can be rude and I will acquiesce to their demands? No, I will start exactly as I mean to go on: A strong willed person who stands for what they believe in no matter how long I have been a member of such a site, in this way I am true to myself and if people like or dislike it then they are free to do so.

So let me get this straight, you are rude, you get other members telling you to ease off of the new guy (which I really appreciate btw) and then you tell me to try to change, without even giving a single thought to what I thought on the matter? The world doesn't work this way.

I would not change my manner of posting even if you were a staff member, in fact if you were I would make a complaint that someone in such a position would be allowed to get away with what it was that you put out there: An intentionally rude post, detrimental to the community you claim to want to protect so much.

No, clearly you do not know what advice is, this is just a statement, advice is when you advise not demand, and the above isn't even a demand, its a plain unveiled insult. Such is the response I would attribute to a child. Note: I am not calling you a child, I am saying I would expect such a response from one.

Let me give you some advice of my own, from my apparently more extensive life experience (Which includes being a manager for 5 years, head chef for 3 years and my clear use of manners when advising people such as yourself): Being rude is NO WAY to get people to change, it brings out their stubborn side, it will only ever produce negative results.

Yes, we say ice lolly. I make references to things I know other people reference to the line, to me it makes me smile, which is exactly the point of mildly amusing pictures: to amuse people.

I don't attempt to fit in? I didn't attempt to amuse others with my referencing KHII? I didn't try to fit in when I offered advice in this thread http://kh-vids.net/threads/family-problems.148122/ ? I didn't try to fit in when I posted in the welcome thread of MoogleSky? Or when I posted on her profile trying to make friends? Or when I posted in the suggestion about a chat box? It appears to me you statement about being a creature of the spam forum is certainly true, as is your assumptions about me equally untrue.

As I stated, I don't try to fit in with any crowed, if they like me for who I am then I generally spend a lot of time being a member of that community.

 

Arright, the mega and never posts brigade is here. I'm out of this. Do what you want. You proved me right earlier by showing up, you'll prove me right by being passive aggressive to newbie here after he becomes normal. Call me a ******, but I was right when you bullied Nova and I and gave us fake apologies and look where we are.

 

The post where you used that image in Discussion was in violation of the rules for that section.

SJ may be off base in his approach but he has one thing right. It is important to be aware of the culture you are jumping into.[DOUBLEPOST=1413055662][/DOUBLEPOST]

Dude. You just admitted that you came here to be proven right, not help him. You are off your game.

 

If members feel like someone has violated whatever rules, then they should use the report feature. It is not our place to moderate -- that's backseat moderating. That's why the staff is here.

 

I did report it. Yesterday.

I'm letting him know why his example was the worst one he could possibly use.

 

We all knew that anyway.

 

I did not. I said they did prove me ri- MAYBE YOURE RIGHT. I'm staying out. You want to argue my point, feel free

 

This is where I find you're acting far too aggressive, with very accusatory wording.

Gotta agree here.

Exactly this.

I MADE RED THE REALLY IMPORTANT PART GUYS READ THAT

Underlined is very true. We have to be more inclusive than this, though, as you said about Atlas' approach.

So in closing, I can understand both Atlas' intent in what he said, and the complaints brought against his posts. You's a buddy, and I like the idea of fostering a more personal form of communication, but that's not something that we should force, at least I don't think. It's something to be learned, and we can't be too aggressive about it. I experienced that before when I was much younger, so that I now equate that forum with negativity. I don't want this place to be like that for new guys; I actually quite like this community now. You meant well, I see that, but...I dunno, soften the blows.

That goes for many of you guys criticizing Atlas too. Soften the blows, rather than letting vitriol words ruin your relationships.

My $.02.
