Flaming

OK, so after the events of this thread, it is pretty obvious that there is some bad blood in the community.

Whenever you enter a situation where there will not only be intense arguments, but also random insults and a generally negative attitude, I would personally advise you to just back off. Arguments solve nothing, and they just make everyone involved feel pretty bad afterwards. The best thing to do, from my personal experiences, is to just calm down, and back off. Remember, you don't have to prove anything to anyone-just stop commenting, and maybe go and play some Minecraft.

Even if you feel as though the person you arguing against will get a 'kick' out of your lack of response, or maybe that a lack of response will make it seem as though you have 'lost' the argument, you have not. If you be the maturer person, and decide to not conform to the stereotype of all kids being arrogant naive brats, then you are the real winner.

Trust me, just taking a step back, relaxing, and not bothering to type random insults from behind a computer screen that mean nothing, will be for the greater good.

Obviously, Couragecat was exaggerating when he expressed how he nearly committed suicide, but that mere fact that he was clearly thinking about it, means that you all were hurting his feelings a little, no matter the obscure way that it occurred.

I am not saying anyone was right or wrong in said thread, but that if you were to follow my two cents above, then the Squadcraft Forums community would be a lot better off, as petty events such as this would never happen-and all involved would be feeling a lot better inside.

Thanks for reading and I hope this contributes to a warmer community <3

 

Don't worry about @Ross Vickers , he most likely will being getting permanently banned

 

I don't agree with 100% of this but it was all well said.

To add, generally I observe 95% of arguments on here and hopefully the rest of the mod team can cover the other 5%, but in the off chance no mod sees a flame war and you dislike what's going on, feel free to tag me and ask for a lock to the thread

 

It was partially my fault but serilously calling people cocks over and over isnt nice and is a type of bullying

 

Well said

Look, courage was in the wrong, and has been for quite a long time. Now if someone can give me a valid enough reason to gang up on courage, then fine. But really is it fair that you bully someone over a minecraft game, just because his actions are bad at times? Yes, courage has bad attitude and was in the wrong, but 2 wrongs don't make a right.

 

Hell yea

 

Courage was in wrong in every way shape and form. I personaly think he said he would commit suicide for the sake of getting attention. I get the feeling he has argued on the wrong side for too long and now starts arguments of his own over nothing and no matter what he always thinks he wins these arguments. As previously mentioned to me. "An 11 years olds mind is not fully developed", Therfor i don't expect courage to be mature but at least show some respect for other players. I admit it, I'm not mature but i'm alot younger than alot of the players on here. I personaly like to think that i don't start arguments over nothing, well not anymore at least. as smelter mentioned, it's better to be the better person and just leave. If an argument has gone too far i just like to end it with the words: "I'm done with you, this is pathetic" then leave, that way the person that you argued with doesn't think he has "won". Infact, I've been using that sentence for a while now and people don't even say "ha, give up? i win", instead they remain silent. That gives me a sense of accomplishment as i ended an argument without getting hate for the person i was arguing against afterwords.

 

As the saying goes "treat people you want to be treated"

 

And I'm 11 too :L

 

:/

 

as am i

 

He quit

 

ye but you don't seem like an 11 year old

 

I take that as a compliment

 

\:

 

it is lol

 

Wow, attention? Do YOU COMPLETELY KNOW IF IT WAS FOR ATTENTION?? No, you dont. When people say they nearly committed suicide online, is it just attention? Maybe, but sometimes its not. Thats serious and I would like to ask you to not say anything like that because they may or may not be kidding. Me: "I almost committed suicide." Everyone else: "attention." That hurts them, because they may have been serious. I know they may not be even mentioning it but you know, sometimes they do want the attention. But thats not bad, you don't know what they are going through so back off.

 

^^^

 

I'm not against what you're saying but I get the impression you don't know the entire story of what this is all over/about

 

I don't think we do but I understand Nicole's meaning behind it. Sometimes the people are actually struggling with certain problems and they don't talk about it but keep it bundled up.. But some people do act like that for attention but there's some, that are really in trouble and just need to talk to someone

 

I'm not saying it for the sake of being a douche, I'm saying it because i know how courage acts

 

This guy we're talking about who is being "bullied", (a more accurate term would be hated on) BECAUSE he advertised nonstop, after multiple warnings and just creates a nuisance for the SW Community by notifying in /g always to follow him on twitch, and to watch his streams, and I've also had to ban him twice for 12 hours. Just today he COMPLETELY cussed out another player, told him to go die and burn in hell, and spammed the chat in caps

 

Not sticking up for him entirely, but you having the nerve to say it is for attention sickens me. What if I said I almost committed suicide, would it be for attention? Never know right? What if Yum or Jonny or anyone else, would it be attention? You dont know.

 

I know I dont know, but once again thinking its for attention is stereotypical.

 

You do have a point, i don't know. But from my experience i would say courage was saying it to get attention from others. People who plan to commit suicide normaly don't say things to start an argument. He called us "fegs", and started an argument over Forever's opinion. People who plan to commit suicide normaly don't start the argument

 

It's like someone slapping me at school. But because I hypothetically get abused physically at home, I blame the person at school for causing my near death

 

You dont really want to somewhat argue on the thread about flaming and arguing >.<

 

I'd say this was aimed at definition number 2, the purpose of the thread.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing it in the style of definition number 1

 

Haha right

 

4 likes much





;-; gg MCS

 

Btw it wasnt for the attention people and btw desktop im 12

 

Do you like pussy?

 

I find this hard belive. let me rephrase that... "BULLSHIT"

Well he is a cat...

 

Meow

 

That is the best response I have ever seen.

 

Ikr

 

Omfg didnt you commit suicide how are you alive?

 

This thread was meant STOP arguments not create another one!
And I'm gonna stay out of this one. Full Stop

 

I will lock this if anymore arguments happen here -.-

 

*lick
