Introduction
Ok. So I've noticed many trolls on forums lately (I must say, I may have trolled a bit, but really who hasn't). This is a project to "save the forums". Now I know we can't abolish trolls from the forums. And we can't completely get rid of Ce threads. And we can't destroy pet threads. But we CAN help lower the amount of these threads.
Trolls
We all have trolled at some point. Either when we were new to the forums or when we were making a joke thread or spamming for the fun of it. Now, the population of trolls has been increasing rapidly. Ways to lower the amount of trolls:
*Trolls can stop before they post. They can Stop, Think, Decide, Act. Before a troll posts, he/she can stop. Think about what they are posting. Decide whether it will annoy other players and embarrass themself. And finally, act once they have decided whether their post is worth posting.
*Trolls can try to not spam.
Ce Threads
Well, this has been a problem for a long time. But because of the raise in price for 100ce and the increase in troll activity, the amount of these threads and those related to it has risen. Ways to get rid of most of these ce threads:
*USE THE SEARCH BAR. I cannot stress this enough. And I know Psychodestroyer knows what I mean. Countless times I see him telling people to use it. If you type Ce or Ce prices in the search bar, I guarantee you will find many threads with that subject.
*Once you have looked up ce threads in the search bar, post in them instead of creating a whole new thread. If all of the people who are concerned with ce prices post together in one big thread, your pleas may be noticed and taken into account. But if we continue creating so many threads involving ce, the GMs will ignore it and condemn it as a troll thread.
Pet Threads
Well, all you pet-lovers out there, this is for you. We all know you want your pets in SK. But is it worth it creating so many threads asking for pets? Ways to make the amount of Pet related threads decrease:
*As I have said before, USE THE SEARCH BAR. You will see many pet threads. Many, many threads requesting for pets.
*Instead of making a new pet thread, post on one of them. Get any other pet-lovers to post on that one thread. Maybe it won't be ignored anymore.
*Think about pets. Are they worth it? What would pets do other than show how rich you are to other people? Having them fight with you would pretty much turn this game into a Diablo game. So what would they do? Think about that.
Final Things to Say
So, having all these things put into effect would cause a much healthier, worth-looking-at forums. Anyone else who wants to comment with ideas that would make this better or reasons why this thread is unreasonable, please post.
I am ready for all the negative attention I am about to receive.
But negative attention is still attention! And THAT. Shows they care.
Anyway. You are correct. IF this happened it would be awesome. And I have only ever said 'UP THE CE PRICES!' on a few of those CE threads but I personally shall think before I post.
