Goodbye to CoH message boards.

[Snarky]

I was warned today that the Devs considered my posts in the Suggestions Knockback thread insulting.  And that further infractions will lead to consequences.

 

Actions do indeed have consequences.  I will no longer be posting on the message boards.

 

[Luminara]

I've had numerous warnings, with and without warning points, for being aggressive, insulting and rude.

 

I'm still here.

 

And you're folding because you got a slap on the wrist?

 

[biostem]

I feel like, if this is the approach they're going to take, that they then need to enforce a strict "stay on topic" policy, meaning that ANY response post that doesn't directly respond to the OP, (or subsequent posts), and which includes any sort of commentary MUST then be scrubbed and/or acted upon, because clearly, if you do otherwise, you're being insulting...

[PeregrineFalcon]

I am genuinely sorry that you feel this is necessary, Snarky. I don't always agree with you, but when I do it's because you're right.

 

Take care.

Seems kind of drastic. Are you sure the mods didn't attribute a comment to you or pick out the wrong person from the thread? Mods are human and make mistakes - it normally just takes filing a support to ticket or responding to their message. And even if it was intentional, you can always just elevate your disagreement of the handling of your case to a Lead GM to adjudicate. Well if you change your mind we'll still be here!

I'm not going to speak for @Snarky, but let's go with a best-case scenario - he received no warning points.  He was still contacted and warned.  Now, if the person didn't do anything wrong, then why warn them?  Either something was an infraction or it wasn't, and in the case of the latter, then leave it be...

So what you're saying is you've been a bit of a.... pain in the neck?

[High_Beam]

Come on man, remember the drill from the Navy, first verbal then written in your DOR then Report Chit with the previous written to back up the documented trend of infraction.  Your DOR looks empty to me shipmate.

It's official! 

 

Snarky has been formally recognized by the authorities for...... drumroll....being snarky! 

 

Do you get a badge for that? 

[Uncle Shags]

And thanks for the win just now!

There's always friction when big ego's clash.

It's ok everyone, I know how to deal with this.

 

@Snarky I invite you to enter the message boards and post.

 

MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

[Apogee]

So, Snarky has become a victim of Knockback so bad it knocked him off the forums?  If there was ever a reason to simply convert KB to KD this is it

[Super Atom]

Warn them back

[GM Crumpet]

Hey, you think our warnings are bad? I used to get GM Miss warn me occasionally. It wasn't the warning that hurt, it was the fact she was so sad and disappointed in me. That was what cut deeply. I still miss her.

[kelika2]

none of us thought the name release thing would ever happen

maybe someday a change to knockback will happen.  stay in there snarky

[MoonSheep]

i wouldn’t worry too much mate. i think almost all of us in this thread have either had stuff removed, argued with each other or been told to stay on topic over the years 

 

hope to see you back soon

Bummer.

 

Disagreeing and being disagreeable can get muddled in written form.

 

That said, and beyond anything Snarky may have said, it is disappointing to see other folks flaunt their records of bad behavior (which they seem well aware of) with no intention of curbing said behavior or trying to do better.

 

Is it so much to ask folks from time to time to take it down a notch or knock it off? Seems like it should be okay.

It sucks to be told as much when we think we did little or nothing wrong.. c'est la vie.

That's exactly how it should work.

 

Healthy social interaction is NOT drawing invisible lines around ourselves and exerting Herculean effort to stay inside those lines.  That's not socialization, it's voluntary imprisonment.  It's living in fear and lying about who you are, and that's not good for you or the people with whom you're engaging.  Someone else drawing the lines and telling us when we're crossing them is what gives us license to be honest, to be who we are and say what we really need to say.

It's more disappointing to see people apologize for having an opinion, beg forgiveness for disagreeing, dissemble and prevaricate about how they feel and what they mean, bend over backwards to avoid crossing the imaginary boundaries they've constructed for themselves.  I'd rather be surrounded by honest assholes, and be an honest asshole, than cowards and liars whos personalities are entirely dependent on the prevailing winds.

 

My warnings were for being myself, and you're goddamn right that I'm proud of them.  They say that I have the courage to expose my true personality instead of hiding behind a façade, and explore the boundaries of what's acceptable rather than constraining myself to the limits I would otherwise impose on myself.  This is me, in all of my magnificence and my flaws, naked before you and with my head held high, unashamed.

This is exactly what I told the blind woman.
