So have you maybe tried to report them? You can't complain if you don't give the devs a chance to act, and there are way to many posts for them to get them all.

But at the same time, if you provoke a fight then you're going to get a fight. The mods can hardly blame the players for reacting the way they did.

i do report alot but it would be easier if i was just admin but i wont ever be so all i can do is bring attention to it however i can... what can i say you only need 3 or 4 admins to cover topics and about 12-16 to watch replys and you will get enough people to clean the forums up ... hell i just realized that im old enough that i remember when people were actualy respectfull to each other on forums and trolls were a minority not a majority.



nice end vid lol

you really need to acclimate yourself to caffeine first, otherwise you go and make stupid threads and say the 'word' "LOL"

Ok, everyone's getting really tense so why don't we defuse this with pictures of puppies.

So, I just checked your profile, and the last 3 threads you started have been about how, in your opinion, the forum, teh suxxorz.

Thought for the day: You're contributing to the problem, merely by baiting. Go back to your first complaint post, (Not the second, that got shut down by Helmer apparently) and read Third Flower's final entry, and take his advice.

In short try doing something about it instead of complaining.

i do report but its a small drop in the ocean and i cannot take any direct action... i dont know how most people speak to someone they dont know that they meet on the street. but i would think that most people are more polite then they are on the forum. is respect that low on the internet that people wont even act thier age. or at least say they disagree without insulting people in the process... everyone has done that ... even me but man there are only a few polite people on the forum.. hell the devs even troll .... great precident to give to the comunity

well would you like to have alot of people respond to your opinon disrespectfuly just cuz they do not agree ... i wouldnt do that to someones face yet online in this forum its fine to act like a stooge and the admins dont seem to get it... this forum looks horrible there are more trolls in this forum then in World of Warcraft... get the hint?

sorry kiddo, the only one acting like a stooge is you. the ones you claim to be acting like stooges are doing so in response to your inflammatory and asinine comments.

you start out trying to defend a childish 'i quit' post made before the game has even reached open beta form another spoiled child who was incapable of rational thought. why should we cry and lament over some dumb, entitled brat who wont even take five minutes to do his own research?

sorry kid, you need some more college edumaction. maby take some logic and critical thinking classes and stay away from the bleeding hearts wanting everyone to sing kumbaya 24/7.

oh god its so late that a good out right grumble thread turned into a puppy picture thread i give i give... he eh

You shouldn't play DayZ then. The mod creator is brutal on his own forums. You know why? B/c they're his forums. But your point is really irrelevant and largely misses the point of my original post.

I was challenging you to personify the change you want to see on the forums, not merely harp about how its all gone to hell. As stated previously, you're not doing anything to alleviate the situation, and have taken a rather hard line view that everyone has to align themselves to your own preferred levels of civility. Sorry, but life doesn't work that way. People will behave in ways you don't agree with, and jumping up and down, yelling that they're not behaving... well, not very dignified is it? Ironic, but not dignified.

So, to recap, start a thread about puppies, and get people happy, or accept that people are not bound by your own views of morality/civility, and move on.

also you would get mad if someone was disrespectful to you but if its not you, its not a problem. i see it as a problem. this is not a comunity when everyone is bashing each other.
