Competition, Everywhere Everyone Options

[Bonobo]

Disagree with me if you'd like but, I used to be a member on this site about a year ago, and I ditched my account. I did this because it seemed all this site was about was power, and posts. I got over it and came back with a new screen name. Here I am and about a year later, nothing has changed. Here is what I've thought

• There are a lot of people on here that have over 2,000 posts that are VERY VERY snobby rude, and rule breaking but since they have a lot of posts no one yells at them
• Too many people are rudely honest and the site does nothing about it. Or say things for others to laugh at. They use other members for attention. They get a one liner out of doing this. And all the site does it put them on watch. And most of the time the moderator watchers let some really rude "one liners" to past

like i said disagree all you want... but I'm so sick of it

Hi there -

The Sandbox is basically the Forum Games section of cB. Post count shouldn't count there as the majority of responses there are one word/spam. It's cool to spam in the "First to post on such and such" threads. It's where you can unleash, so-to-speak and not worry about being warned and such since post counts are disabled in that forum. If you enable post counts there, you'd have to get rid of those types of threads, which people tend to really enjoy.

The majority of cB is post count enabled, so if that's what you're really worried about (I'm not saying that you are worried, necessarily) then post around. I've seen you do that (post in different forums), so you really have nothing to be concerned about. I'm sure your post count is going up steadily.

Perhaps you feel out of place? Or that you can't seem to befriend people because some folks here know eachother so well? Having high post counts typically mean you've been here for a while and the chances of you having a social network within cB would go hand in hand with that (generally), I believe.

True, we do have a number of opinionated and blunt personalities here. It's part of what makes cB so entertaining, in my opinion. :) I really don't see much of the rule breaking and I honestly do not see staff ignoring anyone who does (although I'm sure something is bound to slip off the radar). If anything, staff is perpetually accused of being too hung up on rules.

To me, rudely honest aren't words that should necessarily be paired together. Blunt? Sure. Rude? Yep, happens (and unfortunately it seems like you feel this happens too often). Blatent, concise honesty shouldn't be confused with rudeness though.

It's a shame that you aren't happy with the goings on here. I'm not sure what else to say.
