Ok how about some kind of third-person agreement. If two people turn any thread into an argument, or go wildly off topic, any third person can just post "STOP", and no more is to be said about it, no questions asked. The only posts allowed after that are ON-TOPIC and NOT argumentative.

Otherwise i'd suggest getting another Moderator who will just simply lock threads when they go sour, no comments or anything.

And about swearing. You're acting like it's alright to use any kind of language? Since when is it acceptable, or even called-for, to use language like that in a forum to talk about a Trek-based mod?

EDIT: And if there's no progress reports or news on here, go post on another forum for a bit, you don't HAVE to post here all the bloody time.

Just so you know I do post on other forums

I dont like that stop idea since
A: no one will listen anyway and
B: It could put an end to a valuble debate, and yes a debate is an argument alway has been always will be.

About the Language, FFS ITS JUST DAMNED WORDS! GET OVER IT!

I know it's just words, but what's the point? (I swear all the time, but not in a public forum)

- If nobody would listen, then you've all already dug your own grave.
- If it really is a valuable debate, then why would anyone stop it?

The words allready get automaticaly censored so I dont see a point to not using them any way. Dug my own grave, I dont see what not listening to someone has to do with grave digging.

Ok i'll spell it out simple for ya then: If you don't listen to anyone elses opinions, and treat them all with agression, then this forum really is in trouble.

I never said not listen to others opinions.

A: no one will listen anyway

"Stop" is an opinion. It's "This thread has got out of hand and off-topic."

Well whether you use my way or another way, something does have to be done, because all you people are doing is being agressive to one another.

You* are going to kill this forum, and get Doca, Optec, and FleetOps a bad name, if you don't figure something out.

* = (not you specifically, cts, i mean all of you. Myself included, i guess, even i've been in arguments here too. But not on this kind of scale. So that means you'd be getting everyone else on this forum a bad name aswell. Great.)

Than you should use We, and Stop isnt an opinion on its own its a command. "Stop, this thread has got out of hand and off-topic." Is an opinion that Might be considered.

How about you stop nitpicking my choice of words and listen to what my actual message was? Or is it too difficult for you to grasp?

I've only had a couple of tiny arguments, not on the kind of scale you few people have, so you're only dragging me down with you, which is NOT going to happen.

This forum used to be a nice place before you all turned it into a fighting arena (and yes i do mean 'you' now, not 'we')

No, chosing the right words are important in a case like this.

So is actually taking in what other people are saying.

I said "myself included", so whether i put "you" or "we" in that post makes no difference.

Maybe that's why the arguments here last so long, because none of you can accept other people's views.

Anyway, i have nothing else to say on the subject, i just can't be bothered. You just have to face up to it: if you guys don't stop screwing around, this forum will die out, as will the credibility of A2's best mod.

I can, using we was just an obsrvation that you could have used in the first place to seem less arogant.

Ooh i'm arrogant? Am I one of the people who's using this forum as a flame war place?

EDIT: Then how about you comment on what i said, not how i said it?

posted on March 20th, 2005, 8:14 pm

I did comment on what you said, and dont go calling me arrogant now. I just said that if you would have said it diferently you would have soudned less arogant.

"and dont go calling me arrogant now" Then don't you call me arrogant. I'm trying to sort this out, to get this forum back to the friendly place it was. What are you doing, other than criticising everyones ideas?
[CORRECTION: Destructively criticising]

I know this is blunt, but subtlety doesn't seem to work.
