dark9834 Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Don't get me wrong I love the gaming the modding all of it. But why would any of you talk poo about some ones mods. If you don't like it don't download it, simple huh. but no you, and you all know who you are.Flaming flamers is pretty stupid and knowing my luck this thread is going to get flamed and shut-down.This thread is for all of the hard working modders that get flamed by anyone that feels it's just to hard to hit the back button.Good modders are getting turnned away from a needing community becuses of flaming. Stop the flaming just download something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eshenaleros Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Thank you! As some of you may know, Slof closed down her mods recently. All of them. including her Hive site. Do you know why? because of flamers. She posted that she couldn't handle another stroke, and that the first one was brought on by people insulting her work. now she's off the net because of health risks. You may not think it important, but flaming people causes them stress, whether you realize it or not. it can cause new modders to lose confidence and stop modding altogether, apparently cause experienced modders to have healh issues, and the negative energy it causes only serves to make others feel worse (whether that's angry or sad). Please, before you post, think about it first. The sayings "Treat others how you wish to be treated," and "If you have nothing good to say don't say anything at all," come to mind.

SpacemanSpIiff Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Are you talking about a particular mod? It can be said for any mod that gets flamed, just look at the forums rules and strikes and see how many people get banned for pointless flames. It runs rampant to be honest, if the mod staff wasn't as dedicated as they were this site would be a troll hideout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezdimona Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 they'll always be those few immature and senseless people who find it funny .They think their opinions mean something when in truth they don't.I personally tune them out and report them also.

It runs rampant to be honest, if the mod staff wasn't as dedicated as they were this site would be a troll hideout. I'm aware of that. I just asked because this new thread seemed sudden. I even looked at the OP's profile before I posted to see if he'd posted some mod that got flamed and thus prompted the thread, but didn't see anything.

buddah Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Trolls are everywhere, flaming is a common practice, ratings abuse is rampant. But it is correct, everyone thinks their opinion is important....in reality it is but only to themselves. The other 99.99999+% of the world could care less about mine or the opinion of anyone else. The rules, terms of service and terms of commenting are clear, but are ignored by many. But the trolls/flamers and jerks here are few, most members never post or rate. I usually just delete a trash rating/comment and give them a chance, but in most cases they just do it again. Then they get their ticket punched and I am the asshole.....so be it. Everyone has a choice to post/comment or not, but they are held accountable for their actions. No one is immune from the rules, premium members have been shown the door in the past and will be in the future. I have been slapped once or twice myself.

jonesjoshuar Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I notice most that do never do the work themselves either. Most people do not know the time and commitment a mod can take. Say i might not like deadly reflexes or glenvar castle. Both had to take some time to think up, make, get to work right etc. While i might not like those mods, still the hard work employed by them is outstanding. (just to be clear...those are great mods) The great thing about modding too, is you essentially are making something you would like and sharing it with others. Be grateful that they are willing to share. Give credit where credit is due, you dont have to like a mod to respect it...and its authors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phforNZ Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I'll keep my opinion short... Flamers and trolls should be banned from the internet. Then the rest of us can party hard, and enjoy awesome mods from the talented people who are willing to share them with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
