A random walk through life or musings of a disturbed mind
TOC's Language, spamming, flaming etc. and Stardock's gamers bill of rights is meaningless.
Published on March 30, 2009 By recode In Forum Issues

Stardock has an obligation to stop this behaviour not just "report" it. The games and forums should be safe for all.

Note:safe is even people you all don't like. Safe is safe to have opinion even when there are 50+ opiposed in disagreemnt. Stardock+groupthink. Notice the responses are 100% supportive of Stardock' irresponsible treatment,

  • Teen rating is for people as young as 13 and can include females. If you are a father would you want your daughter treated the way you see folks treated here. Don't believe you have many mothers here.
  • The internet Bullying has caused some teenagers to commit suicide.. look it uo. This is a real legal issue that Starsock is unwilling to statifactorily address even though Ive brought it up before. There are murder cases based on this,

So were are you BRAD? Missing in action. Ignorance is no excuse (doublle ententre intented).

  • Here's a clue: try thinking!

No not about yourself what is is like the be the other person... I am used to this abusive behavior (and hate it). I fight for those who are not. Do you? Quit excusing your behavoir Stardock.

So Zubaz, you toughten up, since i knew this was the kind of response i'd get from Stardock. No crtiticism allowed.. you will be shouted out.

PS. I never said that users should give negative karma.. read carefully before flaming and spamming. I justr want Stardock to keep thier ToC's, don't weasle your way out and cahnge them.. enforce them. How about the stardock folks act like responisible, mature, adults. Try a dictionary if you don't understand what words mean like websters or oxford.

  • Community denotes safety, everyone has a voice and not called names. slander, etc... This is groupthink, even on the internet. This is why people have a low view of gamers including me.  Adolescent  behaviour is the norm here, actually thats an insult to Adolescent s.
  • Anyway ive sent samples to the authoriies becouse Stardock does not own the web and has to play within the rules. Ill see what the AG and my representatives think of this. I dont think WA or CA will think Its all up to stardock to be responsible adults.

Because of the behaviour reported. I am banned but not the abuser. This is why i hold Stardock in LOW ESTEEM.  They DO NOT honor their commitments or contracts.

Actually they don't. As long as the posts are not illegal in content, they have no obligations whatsoever.

It's the internet.  Toughen up.

Spam is nuked when we find it and the spammers become exiles. Language has almost never been a problem. Moderators try not to get involved as long as personal attacks are kept out of discussions.

Negative Karma would surely be misused.

The banning/exile of members is best left to the site moderators. Otherwise  a personal vendetta/attack on a member could result in an unwarranted banning. If you feel someones post is objectionable the best way to handle it is to PM a Mod.That's what they are there for. Karma is intended to be a positive "fun" thing,not a weapon.

Looks like Wiz has stolen karma from Zu.

This has been brought up before.

In reality, if moderators wait for negative karma to show up to take appropriate action, that's too long.

What if the poster has postive karma, how long do we wait to impose appropriate action.

Stolen? No way! I traded   &   for them.

Stardock's site Admins/Moderators speak softly but carry a big stick.

The stick is rarely even noticed......

 

....but it works...

 

Philly's right about the karma/time issue.....[taking too long].

Someone needs a huggle I bet.

The OP does have one little point i agree with though. The spamming threads. I know these are in the OT threads but spam is still spam even when dressed up.

Neg Karma won't fix that, but perhaps the big stick could be used to whack some of the nonsensical blatent spam thread posters.

I mean, there's off topic and then there is just rubbish.....

Other than that i have the OP's solution right here....

Yeah that would not work at all...

all you would need is some one to take a dislike to ya for a reason known only to them,  And they would get you band, then 3 months later get you band again, and again.

Sometimes i think that one or two guy's on here have a dislike for me... but i don't know why....

not that it matters.... but it would if they could get me band...

My suggestion is to ignore and move on

Ding! Ding! Ding!, we have a winner!  Have an e-cookie and beer! 

And as Robbie Boy said, being able to hit someone with negative rep would be so abused.
