Alright, since you three obviously have not understood what I have been telling you so many times (and, as usual, attack me for it), here is a short summary:
Whining and Trolling:
- Posting negative (often excessively so for what the situation might demand, and often in a very insulting manner) statements without providing any proof or even valid arguments to back them up. One example of this is saying that MindArk 10 years ago added some uneco guns to the game simply to screw the players over, without providing any argument as to why they would do such a thing.
- Accuse anyone that says you are a whiner of either lying or ignoring facts and realism (despite your statement being utterly unrealistic and no proof or facts having been presented whatsoever).
- Attacking anyone that posts any kind of proof, fact or argument that counters your own belief.
- Defend your whining by claiming you are only realistic and/or justified in your comments despite this not being even close to the case.
- Even if a majority says you and/or your statement is wrong (no matter how kindly they say so), attack them and insult them as much as possible.
How to complain in a reasonable manner:
- First, make sure the situation actually warrants negativity.
- If it does, post your negative comment in a non-threatening and non-insulting way. Explain why you feel this way.
- If you are accusing someone (for example MindArk or another player) of something, provide facts, proof or at least a valid argument of why you believe this.
- In case you wish to assist in solving a problem, present a suggestion for a solution or an alternative. Make sure to stay within realistic and reasonable borders.
- When presented with counterarguments more valid than your arguments, admit that you are wrong. If you do not accept the counterarguments as more valid, tell the other person why this is in a calm and constructive manner.
- Do not start insulting people simply because they hold a different belief than you.
- Do not start calling people fanboys or such simply because they do not agree with your views.
Now, if you follow these simple rules for posting in a constructive and intelligent manner, you will find that your negative comments actually have a much larger chance of being listened to and possibly fixed {removed}
