Section Hostility Rating from 1 to 5
1 is the most unfriendly to 5, which is most friendly!

General Discussion: -1000 (For obvious reasons why.)

New Recruits: 4. (Everyone helps each other! :D)

The Arsenal: 3. (So so because of weapon complaints.)

Treasure Vault: 5. (Pretty much everyone compliments each other except for dat ONE GUY!)

Guild Recruitment: 5. (Again, its another support thread.)

The Coliseum: -1 (Again, for obvious reasons. "I'm the best!" "No, I am." "No, you can't beat me!")

The Bazzar: 3 (So so. No one compliments and no one insults.)

Gremlin Chatter:4 (Friendly, but not friendly enough. Pretty close to a 5.)

Wiki Edtors: -- (I've no idea.)

Suggestions: 4 (I see +1s, but lots of criticism.)

Graveyard: 0 (haha.)

And that is why guys, I go on the Treasure Vault a lot.

*List will be constantly changing and shifting in the future.

You probably wouldn't get so much hostility if you stopped posting meaningless things at the end of every topic to justify posting "I'm the king of the forums" twice.

That's you! You're the guy I'm referring to! *The post above proves why General Discussion is like this.
Glacies, your posts toxicate the community more than my posts.

Which means your post, since it was tied to the creation of the thread.

HAH

HAAAHHHH.

...Honestly, I'm surprised you rated Suggestions a 4. It's almost impossible for me not to overflow with vitriol when it comes to the serious threads; it feels like there's always at least one person who has some backwards logic. It drives me nuts.

Dear Annilation,

Regarding your latest posts about how you hate the toxicity and unfriendliness on the forums, I've came to realize that you are simply seeking attention. Why? First of all, you are a hypocrite *If anyone wants to know why, go to the Jempire recruitment thread*Second, you are spamming posts with no apparent goal from each thread. You are trying to be the cool kid with Tweeter and Siruis, wanting everyone to call you "omg dese trolls so good", to have yourself enjoy that. Fourth, you think you are funny, that's not kewl.

Please, stop showing your idiotic side, we all have brains that we can use, it's only some people that refuse to do that.

Thanks,

If a thief is caught stealing, and he says he never stole anything, is he free from charges? Of course not.

Dragneel, you can't ninja me. That's illegal.

Try taking a break from the General Discussion & only posting in New Recruits for a day. Then The Arsenal, Treasure Vault, etc.

I guarantee you, all of them will become 1.

@Dragneel Right. I should be doing the ninja-ing.

@Annilation I don't see anyone contradicting themselves. It's purely fact that you've created a lot of clutter for the heck of it.

@Bitsbee Backhands are the best.

For the sake of staying on topic. You can't really rate things by each forum section.

From my two years of browsing the forums, there have been plenty of times where New Recruits and even The Arsenal have been filled with what you would consider "toxic" to those forums. Some people do post things that even I consider Toxic. An example is Feller used to harass New Recruits by anyone asking an easy way to get Crowns by simply replying "lolnoob" or something like that. I've even see hate in the Bazaar section because of people overpricing stuff.

General Discussion's Toxic as you call it comes from either people posting irrelevant comments, spam, (I'm guilty of this in a few cases but mine all come from usually joking around) people constantly posting existing topics, (Radiant Fire Crystals is an example of this) and people harassing people to move the topic. Usually there's some nice discussions without harassing if these rules are followed.

You can call me Toxic all you want, you have the right to do so. I'm a nice guy but sometimes I do come off... mean? But you can't just pinpoint everything on a single post of mine and compare it to every single existing General Discussion topic here.

Well then......

The only reason I understand why the general forum is a 1 is because of, how should I say this, immature presences with an objective of attracting attention to common folk in order to ______________.

i will now rate this thread

i will now rate this thread on a scale of 1 - 5, with 1 being most unhelpful/unproductive and 5 being most helpful/productive

1 (but you got a gold star, i suggest hanging it on your fridge)

i will also rate your overall posts on a scale of 1 - 10, with 1 being akin to "why the *&#@ did i read this can i have my time back please" and 10 being "my god we should go ahead and print this, bind it, and sell it for nobel peace prize"

1 (psst i will explain this one a bit more since it is kind of a lofty reference - we start at 10 in the image because that's what you're preaching, but we end up at a 1 because what you're doing doesn't line up with what you're preaching. let me know if this is still too much, i can break it down for you some more.)

i could go on, but i feel like the trend would be something like continuous 1s, with the occasional 2 thrown in just to shake up the process enough so it looks better for you, we can even call it something fancy like a curve or extra credit

let's be realistic - you started this thread in general discussion while simultaneously saying general discussion is "toxic", and then expect people to magically change their posting style just because you (who i've quite literally never heard of until today) get upset enough to decide to rank the forum quality on a number system that, for all intents and purposes, means jack *(^@ as far as reliability goes

are you not seeing the fundamental flaw here because you just don't want to see it, or are you simply so daft to the point that you genuinely think you're above the rest of the community? because i don't get the concept behind assigning the productivity/quality of something based on some arbitrary ranking system without any elaboration aside from "for obvious reasons why".

tl;dr - there is no tl;dr read the damn post

If General Discussion is such a horrible place, why post or read here. I doubt anyone is holding a gun to your head, forcing you to read and post here. Same goes for The Coliseum. Go to your precious Treasure Vault and stay there. Or Gremlin Chatter, I heard they take anything.

It is quite sad when people

It is quite sad when people are too Pigheaded to realize how stupid they look when they attempt to insult people, when in reality they are just describing themselves.

Case and point? The OP of this thread. I think you shoud take a permanent vacation from here Annilaton. Clearly nobody here likes your presence, based on the posts here.

BYE.

Well, incase you weren't on yesterday and the day before, Annilation has been posting meaningless threads and spammed the forum with it. He is just an attention seeker, or just a troll in general. Just leave him be and don't comment on him in anyway. Gosh, and I thought Batabii was annoying...

@Whimsically

That's just it. This is the punchline
Every comment posted
... i'll give you a second to scroll through
... pretty funny now, huh

but... it's wrong.
You see, if this recieves -1000 on a scaling of forum friendliness, then:
treasure vault should be 150
new players should be 3, not 4.
suggestions would be better if there was discussion and less dual wield threads. 3
Coliseum? better get a better hard drive for that negative integer. I'd say 1 terabyte should store it no problem
Bazaar would need to be 5.
The arsenal? you mean people posting about the glory of chaos? no thanks. 0
Wiki editors would properly recieve a 10. so constructive... so welcoming to new ideas and additions... if only you were a wiki editor
and he entirely skipped the testing feedback, which inherits a -1 for never allowing feedback
