Clicking the invite would just take you there by your own choice. You could have a notification telling you what the subject the inviter wants- Parlay could continue in the original thread if this were implemented - You don't have to accept. Maybe having a little more measure of sense of control by having a choice could help? You could then choose your battle rather than be forced into it. The original thread stays pure. This could stop derailing and highjacking and while fires can be lit there, whether we fuel the flames is our own choice


Where would this link come from?

I think what your asking for is beyond what we as a community can do right now. And even if we could, I don't think it's needed.

Yes.

I just skimmed through previous non-UoH topics and there doesn't seem to be issues for the most part. Some RPs, a couple Help and Bug topics. The issue seems to stem at topics that are posted in UoH, a place where the enforcement of certain rules are laxed, and where things like flaming and trolling are allowed.

Have a look back through the thread : tell me you see no insults or abuse directed at me or other posters.

Thank-you.


I addressed that via a post earlier. Was that not sufficient enough to your liking?

Holy crap... What is going on here. Are you telling me you dont remember any other (non UOH) where this type of behavior happened? No other toxic forum posts? No one else has ever brought this to your attention? I usually dont get upset in forum not matter what is flung my way, and this is the first time i am actually insulted and angered by the circular responses to simple TOS concepts.

So Argo, this is why nothing changes. There is no problem, its everyone else, i have ships to tend to.

Where did I say that it hasn't happened in the past?

We have talked about it in the past, however you are presenting it as if the issue with non-UoH Topics being derailed, players being trolled in non-UoH topics, etc. is occurring on a regular basis. It's not. Since it's not and the only place it is occurring on a regular basis is in UoH, the issue must be UoH.

It isn’t on a regular basis, because no one posts here any more on a regular basis,

All because that DID happen on a regular basis.

All I hear is “I don’t wanna fix it, don’t know how, and won’t figure it out because I think it’s okay and I determine problems.”

Joking of course, but if the community believes it to be a problem, there’s a problem. No matter your analysis, the community has spoken.

Ok... we are here to find out why no one but a handful of players goes to forums anymore. The poll says exactly what im saying, im not making it up and the responce about the issues is, well i have searched recent posts and didnt see it, well of coarse not... people arent coming here, thats why we are here.

So the question is can we please start enforcing the rules for the forum so maybe we can get people back in and start developing our numbers again in a positive way?

DEZ ..... here in lies the reason for this thread. It hasnt happened recenty because no one posts at all anymore because of how often it happened in the past.

Hence the title of this thread.

You are creating a circular arguement.

So no one posts here anymore because of an issue that is no longer occurring on a regular basis.

How would you like the moderation team to address the issue that is no longer occurring on a regular basis?

Do you understand the flawed logic in that?
