It really doesn't give people the chance to make up, and it's pretty weak to go through life tuning out everyone who pushes your buttons or says things you don't agree with. I listen to Rush Limbaugh every day on the radio. I find most of what he says to be detestable but I think it's a good thing to listen to people you don't agree with. Every once in a while, they'll be right and you'll learn something.

I dislike how the ignore feature encourages clownery.

"clownery"?

I'm guilty of just telling people to add me to their ignore list if I really bother them so much, but it's a perfectly logical suggestion. Somebody pisses you off? Put them on your ignore list. Badda bing, badda boom. Problem solved. I don't understand why that suggestion seems so outlandish to you.

I mean when somebody acts blatantly unreasonable and tells you to put them on ignore. See: Wataru's bootleg fiasco that he refused (or still refuses?) to drop

This guy's first post was this:

ゴジラ一二三 wrote:Godzilla should destroy multiple cities across アメリカ(America) and 日本(Japan). I agree with the people above that New York shouldn't be attacked(at least not by Godzilla). Washington D.C. would be the most interesting city for Godzilla to destroy. Just think about it! The President, Congress, and the Pentagon would all be potential targets! How interesting that would be.


I don't know why printing "America" and "Japan" in Japanese pisses me off, it just does.

Yeah I almost responded to that. I feel the same way you do.

My problem with the ignore feature is 1) you can still see that someone posted something and 2) if someone quotes what you're trying to ignore you'll see what they said anyway.

^ You two are seriously going to jump on this guy because of an eccentric but completely harmless thing like that in his first post? I'm sorry, but that's really sad. Let him get his foot in the damn door and make a few more posts before you decide to chase him away.

Yeah, I mean, it's just unnecessary, and comes off as pretentious.

They haven't "jumped on him." They're just whining about something they didn't like. Which is, ya know, the whole point of this thread. It's not like they outright attacked him.

Im really sick of people jumping on new members like theyre all morons, bots or under-aged users.

Just because they dont post like you, doesnt mean theyre beneath you. If youve nothing better to do at TK is sign on, see a post by a new member and bitch about it here, then I suggest you get off TK and go outside.

SO sick of it.

No, but whining about something so small still seems unneccesary. And if he'd happen to read this, it amounts to the same thing as attacking him. Again, he should be allowed to establish himself here before people jump to conclusions or bash him. And this goes for all new members, unless their first post is something exceptionally wrong/stupid/etc.

What conclusions did they jump to? I didn't see any. They're whining about a member, and that's what this thread allows for. They also didn't "bash" him. They said they didn't like something he did. If he reads this, then he should understand that any member can be whined about here regardless of what they do. It doesn't reflect the perspective of all TK members. If a member does something to irritate you, regardless of how long they've been here, you have the right to whine about it in this thread. A LOT of the whines here are unnecessary, but I don't see you complaining about every time someone whines about a sense of humor or an opinion in this thread.

I normally ignore what goes on here because the majority of the whines are (from what I see) about established members that know how this site works and are prepared to defend themselves, or are legitimate issues with new members. In this case specifically, we're talking about a brand new member who made the slightly strange choice to type two words in Japanese. Is it really worth potentially giving him a bad first impression of this place and driving him off over something that small? I, personally, don't think it is.

That said, I accept that it is within their rights to whine about whatever they want to here. I just think they (and everyone) should use more discretion when doing so.

CONTEXT!!!

For the record, I wasn't jumping on him, or at least wasn't trying to come off that way. When I read that post, my complete and total reaction was "What the...?" It puzzled me and left me confused.

You wouldn't like me when I'm confused.

Ah. Well, confusion is completely understandable. My apologies for the misinterpretation, then.

I readily admit I have good days and bad days with my attitude. There are people at New TK that already know I might be an asshole, but Im still cool. Im Vegeta cool from Dragonball Z during the Android Saga.
