New players pls: Joining the big clans is bad for you

Why is this thread silly? You also said the same thing about cdrkf's smurfing thread. These are legitimate issues that legitimate users opened legitimate threads on to legitimately discuss. In my own forum your sort of behavior of calling legitimate threads "silly" is called "trolling" and offenders are instabanned. Trying to shut down a legitimate discussion with repeated calls for locks, as others have done, is also a reason to be instabanned in my forum. The behavior of many forum members here in any thread even remotely controversial is appalling. If we didn't have all those "LOCK NOW, NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF THIS!" posts, controversial threads (WHICH IS TO SAY THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THEM) would be half as long, and therefore more readable and more productive.

So please. To everyone here. Stop trolling my threads. And mods: please leave this post on the page so that people can see it and learn how to behave a little more appropriately in such threads. Your world will not collapse if an icycalm thread with a legitimate, if unpopular, concern remains open for discussion. You can choose to not read it and not post in it: believe me, you have that choice. The only reason you are posting in it is because you find it interesting, and the only reason you find it interesting is because it IS interesting, because I only make interesting threads.

Thank you and I appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

Agreed its rather weak of you cptconundrum...... to try to close a thread, that makes pretty important points that counter run to your own opinion.

The Nosebreaker approves this post

I can't speak for what he was saying, but my interpretation is different. You seem to think he said that the topic in the OP is silly (the topic boiling down to more clans please, which he agreed with). I think he said that the fluff in the thread is silly, which imo is the finger pointing drama and the long winded definition of a clan.
