So yea, I am sitting here reading all of these blogs about how totally horrible admins are being, and how banning people without warnings and just a long ban list is so bad.
You know what? Tough crap, do you know how bad it is to go into a chat room with people that have been here for more than enough time to have the rules down, and seeing them doing the same thing each and everytime? Disprespecting what Hull has provided for us, ragging on admins, fighting with each other, ruining events, etc etc.
Do you honestly think that we like banning people? Do you honestly think we like watching people who should know better, do the same things that are against the rules each and every time they get off of a ban?
Instead of crying about the admins, how about changing the way you as users of this place chat, and maybe...just maybe read the rules for once, and wait for it....Follow them.
Its pretty easy, the more you follow the rules, the less the banning there will be. Sounds easy to me.
I mean its not too hard to figure out that "Hey a little common courtesy, less trolling, and just following the rules that are presented might save my butt from getting banned"
With this in place there will be less crying about the admins and more chatting in the chats.
If you guys wanna help admins, be their Voluntary Messenger, while the admin's in a chatroom, go in a different one and pm any bad actions to him/her/both,(Im looking at you KH III) I do this with Haruspex.
Ok. It technically wasn't my fault cause I sometimes zone out and do stuff I normally wouldn't. when I just got here, I wuz taking spanish1 and I used it in the spanish chatroom and It banned me for speaking english in a spanish chat. I mean wuz up wit dat? I thought the red wordz wuz just a retard trying to get me upset. As a result, I hate the red words.
I agree with you completely Haru. It's like these teenagers whine & complain about the consequesnces, well, how about if you, just once do what is asked of you? How much better is it? CALMER is it to walk inyo a room & have a nice, decent conversation without having to type /alert every 5 minutes bc this one & that one aren't behaving again?
I love how when some of these people read a blog and they fall in love with it and instantly believe everything in it. Then later, they will probably read a blog advocating the opposite point of view, fall in love with THAT, then instantly change their point of view to correspond to THAT blog.
Having said that, all these admin bashing are getting annoying.
Ok, I'll just keep yelling at the dog for crapping on the floor, Link.
What does the dog learn?
"Wow! If I poop on the nice carpet, I get barked at, and so I'll just bark back and have fun".
What if I rubbed the dog's nose into the pile of crap, and give a nice swat on the rump (yell NO! BAD DOG) and throw her outside?
"HOLY CRAP THAT HURT, and it's cold out here... Won't do that no more..."
That's the problem. You get people that are all "OMG YOU PUNISH YOUR CHILDREN YOU'RE AN ABUSIVE PARENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!11oneoneone!!!"
And, thanks to that, we don't learn anymore discipline.
Examples:
I was raised with the "BOARD of education" when I was young, and so are my younger siblings (though, my parents are mellowing out), and look how I turned out.
My dog was disciplined as a puppy, I was her trainer. She is the most loyal dog I know.
It isn't easy to disciplined. I know, my dog gives me those eyes, and my heart melts, but it's how life is.
Discipline and abuse are two very different things that lots of people get confused with.
zoey- this blog isnt directed to your blog in general, it is directed to all of the complaints towards admins and all of the insolence, and disrespect that we are now seeing in the chats.
