Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

The Flood's spokesmen is here:

You want to know the honest truth OP? Maybe this is just the high schooler in me, but I can be a complete racist dick to my friends and they can be one right back and we laugh. You know why? Because not every insult is meant as one. If you take an insult out of context of course it is going to seem rude, but we Floodians are a different breed we can handle some insults being thrown around.

So if you would, please stop trying to have my favorite forum and the home of some internet friends shut down.

This is just about you not liking the way you are treated outside of your castle, and nothing more.
So in other words you deny the problem? You don't think people are being -blam!-s to each others here?

It's always been this way though. It's not an issue that's just recently begun. It's been going on for years so it just feels normal. I've reported plenty of posts that have been insulting or rude but nothing ever gets done about it.

One more thing - OP, do you visit the mains a lot? It seems like you feel disdain towards any forum besides your own group's, so I don't see why you care.

A complaint about The Flood Forum? Blasphemy!

There is no problem, people will always be -blam!-s to each other on the internet. It really is that simple, every off-topic forum I've ever been on has locked threads and people banned every day for calling others out. It happens, if you can't deal with some random dude's opinion of you then you need to man the -blam!- up and stop taking his every word so seriously.

This place would be so incredibly boring if everyone was just in love with each other and we lived in -blam!- ned flander's dream land. Could you imagine a thread someone makes about a band, and every reply is just "haha bro I totally LOVE THIS thanks for sharing!".

ugh

Everyone is so obsessed with babying the new members, like destiny will be their first time on the internet. They aren't full babby mode, I think they can handle a little negative opinion.

Even if there was a problem, it doesn't change the fact that this specific thread was made to serve the OP's own interest, and nothing more.

Dem reach forums go look at them and you'll think twice about criticizing the flood

Please message me if you have any objections.

I'm not going to read your blog because I don't give a -blam!-. And neither does the rest of the community.

Well, I agree with him. If I hunt for examples someone will just accuse me of being butthurt that people who flame people I like don't get reported or something.

Personally, I think the moderators have become aware of this problem partly due to people like Harlow bringing it to their attention, and they're doing a better job of investigating complaints into rule-breaking posts that get buried mid-thread. But I do agree that the problem exists. What more do you want me to say?

The best threads are ones that aren't in line with the rules. Most bad threads, such as this one, are the ones that follow them.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Hostility is in our human nature. Whether we like it or not, it exists and I don't believe it's a forum-problem, but a people problem. This happens all across the Internet, and you can't really modify the toxic behavior that some people have. Hostility will always be here because with such a large and diverse community, with hundreds of new faces joining daily; some young, and some old.

But I understand completely and agree that we should do whatever is effective so newer members aren't discouraged from joining.

Best threads are the ones that break rules? Sure, lots of intelligent discussion usually happens when people here talk about religion and politics, for example.

Think about the legendary threads of our time..."how u become the guy to ban people", "Achronos likes Megablocks", and Cheerios. All of them were against the rules, but they've been cemented in the "culture", if you will, of the Flood.

Now, I'm not promoting rule-breaking by any means. No one likes a flame war. I'm just saying that I think we have the perfect balance of strictness and leniency right now. And I commend Bnet's moderating team for it. You want more rules, more "civilized" discussion? Join a private group.

you people are seriously making a big deal out of this? the forums are great, and the mods are almost perfect in their judgement. To ask for change is unnecessary and downright stupid..ive only been a member for almost 6 years so I have no idea what im talking about :p.

I don't post in the flood very often, my posts go all the way back to 2010 in there. It's very hostile so I just ignore it. I use the report button when I see a post/thread that's breaking the rules but I know it doesn't do much as not many other people use it.
