Jan Gaarni Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I don't know if this is the right place to put it, but it need to be addressed to before these forums turn into Star Wars Galaxies forum over at the Station - and any other forum boards for that matter. As the title indicate, I'm gonna bring up the subject of smilies being used in posts. Now, many here are good at using smilies, however, some of you are not. This creates tension for some people since the lack of smilies generally means you are dead seriouse, thus fueling a potentional flamewar which could have been avoided. Now, I've been here for some time now, and it has all been peacefull, and everyone have had a jokingly attitude towards eachother, mainly because of the use of smilies. I do not want to see this change, nor does any of the long time posters here want to either, I am sure. However, I realize as we approach the release date, then certain 'undesirable' elements most likely are going to find their way in here and start to mess up these boards. But until that time, we can make an effort to refrain from "attacking" people for the smallest thing, but most importantly make sure that your joke are perceived as one. There have already been mistakes because people either don't use the smilies, or they simply forget (I don't know) - the most recently involving Koffin, who forgot/didn't use smilies, and Gaalgoth, who perceived it as a dead seriouse post. In addition, Koffin has a somewhat low postcount. Yes, Koffin, a low postcount has nothing to do with your capability to read, but that's not the point. It has more to do with that you have not contributed many posts so we get to know you better. Thus posts like that can be misunderstood quite easily. My point is, use smilies. They are there for more reasons than for just pure fun. *seriouse mode off* ______________________________________ Jan Gaarni!

setsuko Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 True. Flaming wars and other forms of harassments are boring, and something I would rather live without. Best way is to keep up a sense of humour. And to get to know each other. And to kill all hippies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted May 15, 2002 Author Share Posted May 15, 2002 And to kill all hippies. That's a no no, Setsuko. Don't forget the smily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith 8 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Gaarni is right.. just because Moderators and Admins doesnt post here... it doesnt mean they dont watch us.. so if yoy start a flame war here. you will likely be warned and eventualy banned from the forums.. ill post some rules later on + this from Gaarni.. and make it a sticky on these and the offtopic forum..

Gaalgoth Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Yeah, cause if I think you're bashing on my shiznit and I kill you but you didn't use smilies it's your own fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascari Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I disagree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 However, the "you did not use a smiley, now I'll flame your ass" attitude won't help. If people bugs you, ignore them. As most people will. Or tell a moderator, and THEY'LL fry their asses. But it's their job, not yours. (yes, I have some moderator experience. And we do like it if people let the moderators do their bizznizz unhindered. And yes, our kind likes the smell of bothersome posters, roasting on a slow fire <-- there, I used the smiley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalgoth Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 ::sighs and kicks floor:: yeah...I guess you're right.....I won't kill anybody....mostly all I've flamed was koffin for his associates post cause I really did think he was being a dick.....

Wraith 8 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 well.. i know a lot of mods.. and a couple of them are my friends.. but most of them dont come here.. i think ZeroXcape will come along some times... he is one of the Administrators and builders of the Lucas forums.. he said he liked SWgalaxies a lot.. and he is the one i ask for movement of threads.. along with Eets'chula.. (eets if you read this.., did you make my smiley yet ) and i think ill make a huge welcome thread right now to make a sticky in this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsuko Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 - It's alright. But don't ya start any more trouble in MY part of town, or I'll have to bring you down to the station and lock you up over the night, and we don't want that, aight? It's because I am so used to solve conflicts that I am thinking of playing a similar role ingame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalgoth Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 ::holsters pistol:: no officer, we don't want that at all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted May 16, 2002 Author Share Posted May 16, 2002 mostly all I've flamed was koffin for his associates post cause I really did think he was being a dick..... Yeah, but that was a missunderstanding, remember? Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why you "lost" it there. And don't forget FBW. U had a nasty fight with him too. hehe But lets not rip up in old and forgotten subjects. Good idea, Wraith. With all the new people that have come here lately and more to come, that's not a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
