    Default Neutral Grounds. Suggestions for a better Community.

    I realize I'm duplicating, but since the other thread got impossibly derailed, I offer neutral grounds to start again.


    I only ask that posters make a clear distinction between what they believe EVONY should be doing, and what WE, members of the community, should be doing.

    Suggestions for concrete actions on both sides are appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I'll be blunt, I'm near death on these forums. I'm dried up, and about ready to just vanish Wildor. I really wish that I wouldn't have to leave things as they are, but my rope has ended. I do hope things will become better for the community, especially for those to come. My will is sapped though, and really nothing I ever do anymore can help. I think I'll vanish now, I feel like I'm abandoning my friends, but Evony, you win. I'm tired, and my use on these forums is no more. I will probably check in as a guest now on, but I can't remain here any longer. Its over for me.

    Well, I'm tired of these forums. Very little humor in them anymore. Adios all.

    Bakker, as I suggested earlier, sometimes a break from these proceedings is for the best. Take one, breathe a different atmosphere for a while, than if you feel up to it, come back. You're a valuable citizen of this community.

    Don't give up Bakker....if we all work together, we can make it!

    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    Everyone can see we're together
    As we walk on by
    And we fly just like birds of a feather
    I'm not telling no lie

    All of the people around us to say
    Can we be that close
    Just let me state for the record
    We're giving love in a family dose, yeah

    CHORUS
    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    Living life is fun and we've just begun
    To get our share of the world's delights
    High hopes we have for the future
    And our goal's in sight
    No we don't get depressed
    Here's what we call our golden rule
    Have faith in you and the things you do
    You won't go wrong, oh no
    This is our family Jewel, yeah

    CHORUS
    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    We are family
    I got all my sisters with me
    We are family
    Get up everybody and sing

    I don't know Wildor, anyways, I transfered control of the Americans group to Pialpha now. I suggest everyone here on these forums though re-evaluates where they stand. Remember the friends you have made, and be weary of things said. Do not always trust those around you, for the knives are all around us.

    I may be back, but it won't be for a very long time. I see where things are heading, and I can't take it anymore. Perhaps I'll talk to you all later in life.

    I really don't like the tone of Bakker's last post!!!


    If anyone is in contact with ABakker on another site, such as Facebook or MySPACE, stay in touch with him or his entourage, PLEASE!

    That sounds to me like a very depressed kid and I'm very worried.

    I will post my suggestions again, as it is a valid part of making all of the forum except for the server sections a community.

    To be a community we need to actually act as a community. In most communities around the world they usually shun or toss out the trouble makers. We as a community need to start doing this. We as a community need to stop giving audience to the trouble makers here in this forum, band together as a community and do our part to make sure they are no longer welcome.

    As long as people can come together for one simple effort of getting rid of spammers and trolls, then the community can find ways to work together on larger issues. But, as long as we allow spammers and trolls exist in our community, we will never be able to come together as they will always cause friction.

    Look at every serious attempt at help in these forums, at least one person jumps in the thread to insult the OP. We as a community need to stop this. In other sections of the forum, you cannot have an actual discussion about anything without someone coming in and thinking it's their own personal tin of spam.

    This is what it means to be a community, getting rid of the trouble makers so we can actually work together on issues that people find important. What happens in game, stays in game. Everyone should be able to communicate, discuss things, and help each other on the forums without bringing in game issues to other parts of the forum other than their server section.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    Alright. Back on topic.

    Abracax makes a good point actually. And I wish this could have happened before (like when a certain Tranq was insulting women all around...).

    BUT

    Isn't that something more on EVONY's watch? We could always denounce and decry, but Mods have the power to suspend and ban. What we can do, and indeed often do, is merely qualified as troll feeding. I know. It happened to me...

    I think we need to look at this how you act in your neighborhood. If you see something illegal, you report it to the police. The mods are basically the police. However, we can as a community, moderate the forums by doing our part.

    This is what builds a community more than anything, looking out for each other. It's like having a neighbor keep an eye out when you are on vacation, you know that if there is anything wrong they will make the call. We need to look out for each other, stop accepting spam, trolling and sometimes worse things that are happening. A little spam is good at times, if someone is a disruption to the community and cannot give positive input, they need to go.

    So as long as everyone is willing to do their part, that is the first step in creating a community.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!
