Negitive comments on mods

[McclaudEagle]

Saying to someone 'toughen up' is similar to saying to someone to 'toughen up' after getting beat up.

 

As someone who has been beat up in the past, toughened up and struck back, I can tell you that there is nothing remotely similar to being told to toughen up after being insulted as just being beat up. I can also tell you that nothing bad comes from toughening up, it makes you less of a target, makes you stronger and less susceptible to the 'hurt' of having your work or yourself insulted.

 

Taking your mods down for the sake of a few idiots only shows that they won in the end. Why give them the satisfaction they desire rather than your own satisfaction?

Yah, claud, i agree with you there, if yer gonna be suseptable, to idiots, then yah, toughen up :) get some cahonies. Brush the dirt off. And remember who made the mod, and who didnt. I agree with that.

 

What i think should be posted in a thread, or perhaps upon upload, is what to expect from people. A showing that the community stands by the authors that upload stuff, but also that they are a part of a community where the rules apply to everyone. I have seen some pigheaded, went strait to there brain authors, i have also seen authors battle each other. Which is pointless, as every individual here has there own taste.

There is an old axiom my grandmother used to point out to me...if you can't be polite then shut up...it also works when commenting on mods. :whistling:

@ McclaudEagle (and Tamujin):

 

Problem is, we cannot strike back here without the same consequences. Using your logic, I should just insult you now because in the end, you'll just 'toughen up' and all is. Using the same logic, every problem in life could just be solved by 'toughening up'.

 

The problem, right now, is not so much that someone insulted you (I could care less if that happen) but hte fact that you start to have doubts about your skill (in modding, in this case). This doubt eventually manifests, and, well, how everyone interprets it is different.

 

And yes, if you remove the mod, it shows that they have won. But in the end, they removed the source of the problem: the mod(s).

And none of that would be an issue if modders either learned to ignore it, or simply report it and move on. Of course you'll be banned/strike for insulting back, because the point is you're supposed to report it. I also did not once say that every problem in life can be solved by simply 'toughening up', but in the instance of insults and stuff, yes, you can solve it by becoming thick skinned.

Insults on the internet are in no way similar to physical altercations in which you suffer varying degrees of injury.

 

The key difference being that you can give and take the power of others to harm you by way of insult. Whereas in a fight, that power is not yours to wield.

 

When someone insults, you have the option of ignoring them, whereas when someone wishes to cause you bodily harm, walking away is going to get you laid out faster.

 

I agree that a lot of the modders need to toughen up. There are even some that are every bit as childish as the trolls. They need to grow up.

Well when it comes to real world fights, im a fighter, you win some you lose some. but i like doing its like another hobby to me. thats not the case here, and i stand by claud. Report it and ignore it. Thats what that button is for, know that the staff does there job very well here.

 

removing the mod isnt a good solution to the answer either. If you uploaded it and wanted to share it, you have every right to take it down and move on. the point of the debate is pretty much dont do it because people are jerks. everybody gets insulted, it is how you take it in that matters. its like riding a horse, get up and brush yerself off.

I'll put it simply, this kind of stuff made Giskard leave the scene. That's enough of a reason to be upset by it.

ROTFL....he had his own self generated issues. So much so that on Bethsada , Nexus and TES Alliance.. where even bringing up his name will get you a polite warning. Worst example possible and he didn't leave the scene, he created his own private fiefdom where he rules and brooks no dissent. A legend in his own mind.

I think of mods as gifts, out here in the real world if someone offers you a gift you don't insult them or demand something else.

As said that's possibly the worst example, the wounds there are self inflicted.
