Y do people have to be such jerks thnk u for starting this thread I didn't know that nor do I have time to dig through archives to find wat has been stated long ago keep up the work ur contributions will benefit u eventually and people will start thanking u

[Lazzzzzzzzalicious!]

If we are going to be jerks lets do it. Professor X & GermanZ neither of you have been on the forums long enough or built up enough street cred (not to be confused with reputation. my definition of street cred would be respect amongst your other forum peers) to be running around scaring off new forum members. We could use some more active people, and yet people like you two constantly scare them off. Regardless of whether this thread is useful or not, your opinion on this does not matter and thus you really should just stuff it where it belongs.

That is all.

Gotta say I agree with LAzzz ... and that doesn't happen often. . . .
I've been on the forums for over a year and I have never known what it took to become prinz on here. Now I do thanks to this thread. Professor X & GermanZ go do something useful rather then trying to make a new member think we are all jerks over here.

I'm a jerk. Does that mean the community is constituted of jerks only? I don't think so.
Also, if being a jerk means understanding the rules, then I don't mind being a jerk.

No spamming!

This includes, but is not confined, to posting threads on topics where a thread already exists, posting the same topic in multiple forums (if you have a post that encompasses two categories, make a separate post for each in the proper areas) and making non-constructive posts, especially unnecessary negative sarcastic comments (note the distinction between humor and sarcasm). This also includes posts which are not related to Evony (except in Off Topic forum) and bumping old posts back to the first page. Use your judgment. Spamming is definitely off limits, we don't wish to read the same thing from the same person multiple times - posts like this will be edited / deleted.

Now, before you accuse me of breaking the "No flaming, personal attacks or harassment!" rule, know that I didn't:

This is especially true for people's personal opinions ? disagreeing does not make the other person wrong. Share your opinions about the topic, not the poster.

I did not personally harass the poster, I only said that his post was a waste of space. This does not mean that I think the OP is a waste of oxygen -on the contrary. If he can, as one of those who called me noob (see PS.2), "dig up old archived threads", then he most certainly can offer great guides and/or tips.
Also note that my post was not non-constructive, since I clearly explained that this thread is useless because other threads (one,at least) serving the same purpose and offering the same clearness are already available.


PS: It seems that you think I'm german (since you both spelled my name GermanZ). I'm not related to Germany in any way.

PS.2:

No flaming, personal attacks or harassment!
[...]
Note: This includes calling other members "noobs,? telling them to "L2P," etc.

To sum it up, I might have broken one rule (and that could be discussed) by "embarrassing" a member (although, I repeat, I was simply being direct), but some of you guys most definitely did harass me (I don't think that is harassing, but the forum rules say so) or spammed.

I hope I made myself clear. I would have preferred not doing this, but since people have been using accusations against me, I see no choice but to respond.

Ok can we all chill now.

I've noticed a certain amount of harshness dished out to new members and to be frank it needs to stop. Too many people are complaining about the forum dying, it's going to if newbies feel embarrassed every time they try to contribute.

I realize that no harm was meant, but try to see it from someone else's point of view. You may have thought they'll get the joke, however the chances are they didn't. If you feel you need to criticize then do so in a constructive way, no harm in adding a little humor but try to make it funny rather than a "put down".

@ Lazz I'm still working on my forum cred. Got a long way to go before I terrify anyone.

Please elaborate on how I am scaring off new members. Am I doing it with words or pictures. Or maybe you are just having a bad day and you think, just because you have been on the forum for 3 month longer than me, have reputation greater then me and more posts that that makes you better than me. Dude please spare me your sob story. My threads are actually about quality and not quantity.

Anyone with the title Duke and up (and mods) can give red rep for infractions. Red rep is the opposite of normal rep and subtracts points from your rep total.They can give you 1/2 as much red rep as they would give in a normal rep.

Thanks for the help, + rep

get out, noob.

Ty for this insightful information OP.

Kids will be kids, and mad kids will be GermainZ.
