Why are people so dumb?
« on: February 01, 2011, 09:53:34 PM »
I don't see how people who break the rules can see it amusing? Seriously this leaves me almost wordless  :headscratch:

Had I been consulted during the rule creation process, I'd be more inclined to follow them.

If everyone followed every rule, all of the time, there would be a Union Jack flying over Washington, DC...

Rules are there to be broken, because if they aren't there, you can't break them can you? :P :P J/K

It's why I hate popping on here and see a new guy posting. Everyone and their brother flocks over and begins to trollolololololololllololollo lollololol the poor guy and chase away a potential player. Not everyone has to have a "tough skin" to play the game. It's a game, not a f^c#!* combat unit. They're going to troll their own release (the game) to death. People will leave, and with no new guys coming in because these "old timers" want to be jerks, the game will eventually die.

I know I almost quit (been playing for 10 years - just started using BBS this last year) when I started using the forums because it didn't matter what, where or for whom I posted, I got flamed. I thought the rules were up for jokes (esp. rule 4), but lately I've been seeing it getting taken care of more and more, so I have hope :) :) :) :)

I like rule #5 because all you guys keep breaking the rules and need to be backseat moderated so I can break rule #5

How often do you see "see rule#5"
