I think the bigger problem right now, is him questioning that rule, while beeing fully aware of the functionality of the edit button. Kinda like this guy who never quoted the people he wanted to adress with his post ... quite confusing that was.

"And you guys are saying that not flushing the toilet after taking a big dumb is annoying but what exactly about it do you find annoying? What specifically?"

I hope this analogy helps you ... hope is the only thing left in this conversation anyway at this point ... because this, this is what you're basically asking, and ... I find it hard to actually find an adequate answer. You could be also asking, why you don't fart in to peoples direction, why you don't light up a smoke next to someone who's eating, or blurping into someones face, scratching your crotch before shaking hands. It's simply etiquette.


Such things can happen, even to the best of us, and it's ok. Once. But if it happens regularly, you're either a toddler, or elderly and senile.

Which of those categories do you fall in to? Because it is literaly the only excuse that I would accept for a decent human beeing.

Except double posting isn't anything like those other things in your post. So I'm not really sure what you're getting at there and not sure how you would find that to be analogous.

And I guess you're saying that you can't really quantify or specifically say why you find it annoying, it just is annoying to you? Then that would be okay, I would've accepted that as an answer. Even without trying to go into analogies and all that.

My page settings are set differently than yours, but you definitely posted 5 times in a row in that thread. Look closely if you care.

Yes it is annoying that we have to have this debate instead of you saying - like every other person that was once a newb here - Alright assholes I'll watch what I post.

Then what page settings do you use? Because on the default settings I most certainly did not post 5 times in a row. And please take a screenshot so I can see what you see.

Or is anybody esle seeing where I posted 5 times in a row there?

Instead of "BUT you guys don't follow the rules...Why is this annoying you? Why are the rules that way? Why does it matter? WHY?"

I was pointing out how, since you guys wanted to be a stickler for the rules with this, you guys were breaking rules too even in this thread while calling me out for it. And yeah, I asked why it was annoying. A few of you said it was annoying but didn't really say why and I didn't really know what about you guys found annoying about it. So I asked a question, instead of going of on assumptions, so I could have more clarity here. Generally I'll do that, I'll ask questions on people's positions and thoughts on something instead of going of on assumptions. Unless I can be reasonably sure about it. (And even then I'll leave the possibility open for something else.)

Are you really giving me grief that?

Then what do you have to say about all the other people breaking the rules while calling me out for it. Like backbench modding, or like Walpknut very clearly trying to bait me into something?

Isn't there a little irony there?

Simple. They earned enough of my respect to overlook it. They are a part of the community, you not. So far, you're an unstable isotope. We have yet to see if you will turn up in to a stable element or just go puff and just release a lot of short lived radiation while fading away.

Is that hypocritical? Shit, yesss it is! *gasp*! But I am not going to judge someone whos posts I like, the same way as I judge newbs. I can't stress this often enough. This community, is very small. And it is relatively old - as far as internet forums goes. That means you have to EARN your place in it, somehow. Just as how you have to earn your place when you get introduced in to a new group of friends,, some club or what ever. Some of us had some very heated discussions, calling each other even names somtimes, we share common interests and we love to jest and fuck around a lot. It's what makes a community. So yes, I tend to rather stick up for Walp or Toront than for you. Sorry if that is harsh. But if you feel your rights have been violated, you can go and report anyone of us as well. We don't have more rights than you do here.

So you're taking it into your own hands as to decide who's worthy to post here or not? As other other people have said, so welcoming.

And that's kinda going back to that respect issue I was talking about earlier in the thread.

If you're preemptively acting like a user is a problem or going to be a problem just because they're new, and if a few people are doing it and openly doing it, then that new user probably isn't going to disappoint in that regard. Because that kind of thinking and action is just going to cause friction which that new user is going to pick up on and probably reciprocate. And it just serves no purpose.

 

[cratchety ol joe]

Well, that escalated quickly...

 

[Walpknut]

See Living on the edge, the only thing we are telling you is to stop posting multiple times in a row, not to not post entirely. One would think such a simple instruction would be easy to get and follow, but you seem dead set on just not doing it. Stubbornly arguing about something that shouldn't be that hard to grasp.

Yeah, sorry about about that.

That's not all you were doing.

Also, what do you have to say about your own failure to follow the rules even after it was pointed out to you?

Where? Where has anyone ever here told you that you're NOT allowed to post?

Nobody has told you not to post, stop being a drama queen.

Also, what rules? I just asked you to stop double posting and you derailed the shit out of this with your tantrum.

I may have misread something there or read something into it that wasn't there. My mistake. The rest of that post still stands though.

Like the whole backbench modding you were doing and that flame baiting you were doing to me. Yes, I admit I had my part in derailing this. But guess what? If you knew it was derailed or getting there (or even if you didn't really) and yet you still continued to post along with the derailment, then you're also guilty of it. You have in fact contributed to the derailment too.

That's typically at least one reason why the rules and mods will say to just report and move on without responding or take it to PMs so it doesn't grow and get even more out of control and clutter up the forums even more.

Well TorontRayne's quote about "the hype train flying off track so far that it would end up lodged in Todd's ass" makes sense here in the sense that this thread has been derailed so badly that the train went off the track, off a cliff, and into an ocean. Of course now it seems as I'm contributing to it.

Maybe you just secretly enjoy walking through the remains of a trainwreck? Don't worry, so do I.

It's probably why I still play Fallout 4...

 

[Dr Fallout]

Are we still on this topic?

 

[MercenarySnake]

If that track wreck is part of an intriguing quest then yes, if it's just a train wreck I'll get bored due to a lack of creativity on the developer's part. I haven't touched Fallout 4 for around a little over a month, I have better games I've been playing.

Well, Fallout 4's short of being a good game, but still notches above "being so bad it's good", which is why it stays on the boring sector.

I wouldn't say it's slightly above "being so bad it's good", I think it's a bad and boring game with decent combat. It uses no RPG mechanics when it comes to your stats and skills which makes trying to invest in a character with flaws pointless. If there were traits and perks like Underrail's "Recklessness" perk which lets you have a 7% chance to get a critical hit with any weapons but enemies get a 3% chance added to their critical to hit you, then it could add more to a character then "do 20%/40%/60%/80%/double the damage with [INSERT WEAPON]". Around 80% of those perks are just number increases.
