On occasion I see some sarcasm and random meanness. Please try to be kind even if you disagree with someone. If a player asks something, like a game question from a newcomer for example, address them in the public chat positively and helpfully and sometimes send them a kind whisper. We are lucky to have Homecoming, those of us from Live were thrilled that we could play our favorite game again and for FREE! So be grateful and keep our virtual full of positive vibes ❤️ v/r, Rahabina Ugggh fine, I guess I'll be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also delete the Help tab and then make a new one with just Help. That way if chatter gets crazy I can tab away. Good idea. I went to Ouroboros all i got was this lousy secret!

Marshal_General Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 To me the difference between a nerd and a geek is a geek has an opinion on who would win in a fight between the Federation of Star Trek and the Empire of Star Wars. A nerd would have charts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So be grateful and keep our virtual full of positive vibes ❤️ v/r, Rahabina It's a beautiful sentiment, but I have to wonder - has anyone been acting awfully, only to have someone say to them "you should be nice", then have a total realization and changed their evil ways? I mean, pretty much any "normal" person already knows this, and the rest just don't care. If someone is going to troll or harass others, it's almost a certainty that they know what they're doing is wrong, (or at the very least, against the rules)...

I agree- if a douche bag falls in a forest, they definitely hear themselves. -) More on point: I’ve had maybe a handful of instances on teams where people weren’t their, um, best selves. But I imagine I may be missing a lot of kerfluffle by never having General switched on, on any character I have?

GraspingVileTerror Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Sometimes it's less about politely asking an awful person not be behaviour in an awful way, @biostem. Sometimes it's just about reminding the good people who sometimes behave without thinking about how awful some of the things they do are. And sometimes it's about trying to galvanize the good people to actively work to address the problems caused by awful behaviour by stepping up to make a difference.

This doesn't track - you don't casually go from being a "good person" to doing something awful, especially when we're talking about an online game. If you're actively harassing someone, doxxing people, tossing around racial or ethnic epithets, etc, then you probably weren't a good person in the first place. 5 hours ago, GraspingVileTerror said: And sometimes it's about trying to galvanize the good people to actively work to address the problems caused by awful behaviour by stepping up to make a difference. Sure, speak up if you see someone doing something bad, but your actions should be limited to perhaps warning the offender, then reporting them to the GMs. It should never be any normal player's place to attempt to punish or otherwise blacklist others - that goes heavily into vigilante activity, and firmly places you into the wrong as well; Block, report, then move on...

Good people do bad things. Bad people do good things. Sometimes people act like jerks for reasons we aren't privy to. People sometimes overreact in the heat of the moment and then wish they could take it back once emotions have cooled. I'm certainly glad that I am not judged by the worst thing I've ever done and I try to extend that courtesy to others. But yeah, some people are just jerks through and through and aren't worth dealing with if you don't have to.

I agree, but we aren't talking about your typical run of the mill "oopsie" - to do something that would get you kicked off of an MMO requires active intent - you cannot accidentally harass someone, (unless we're getting into some extremely borderline cases where someone construes a comment as being offensive)...
