Locking thread. LOL we do not support or condone the pirating of any game. Simple as that.

You seem to be having difficulty with the idea that you will not be allowed to be a jerk with impunity.

It's been a problem for a long time, and not just because of one person.

It's a problem now.

http://www.valvetime.net/threads/off-the-wagon.243464/ If that doesn't qualify then honestly I'm not going to waste my time trying to prove that there are many people here who are very abrasive to new and old people alike.

So? Those are isolated incidents. Those in no way negate the overall problem. I don't want the forum to be fake and saccharine to get people to post, I want the forum to not be the cesspit of insular jerks whose attitudes routinely scare away well meaning posters or discourage them from even...

If you make a rude joke to someone you've known for a long time that is one thing. To take jabs at people you don't really know, that's of course going to be interpreted the way Rorschach did. The problem is not that there are assholes here. The problem is that they treat EVERYONE that way...

I was going to split the thread so that Sinko's thread didn't have this stuff going on in it, but it veered off topic so fast that there's only 4-5 posts relating to his topic anyway. I can do that but it's Sinko's call. Otherwise it'd be easier to just change the tread title.

So you think this wasn't a pile on? Fine. Doesn't change the fact that I still do. Bigger issue, there are many members of this forum who act in a way that should be discouraged. In extreme cases even punished. I know posters have pretty much not had to deal with any kinds of consequences or...

Seemed pretty much like a pile on to me. Regardless, it's not like this hasn't been a problem. I'd say right now the average user here is one of the reasons we don't get very many new people signing up. There's other issues at work as well of course, but it's a very visible one. Also posting...

Not sure how I feel about this honestly. I suppose as long as you have a decent amount of people voting on whether someone is cheating or not then it helps counter anyone who just wants to ban everyone, or something equally silly. Regardless this is another example of Valve offloading work...

Do I REALLY have to explain that when you have a very insular group of people representing themselves as the community at a website, that when a new person comes in and finds them to be abrasive, and on occasion outright vitriolic that maybe, just maybe, that person won't want to stick around?

Corrected: If you people think that the attitude of the average poster's attitude of this forum is not actively driving people away then you are an idiot.

If you people think that the attitude of the average poster's attitude of this forum is not actively driving people away then not really sure what to tell you.

Feel free to re-read the thread and notice how wrong you are.

If another thread like this happens where people pile onto and be a totally unprovoked asshole to someone there will be consequences.

Anyone else bored with EVERYTHING being turned into a game to hide the fact they just want to sell shit? Sorry to reveal the man behind the curtain and all like that, but seriously.

I'm not even going to try to read what they are going for. Their team names are dumb and the world needs to know!

God damnit. I'm going to have to read all those teams names. ****.

Yeah I didn't look it up, I should have known better. =[
