josh181830 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 This is the rants section of the Tip.It Forum. When someone posts a thread about their rant, why does everyone flame him/her for their rant...? Why do people even flame strangers for no reason..? I fail to understand why some people are so aggressive over nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightzero Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Did you have to make a thread just for this? as for your question its because some people make so badly thought out rants that make no sense and rant at runescape for no reason, sure they can rant but rant about something that needs fixing or is a problem. lulz wut?

BloodArgon Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Flaming is making an [wagon] out of someones stupidity. Im not willing to degrade my intelligence just to have a civilized conversation with an idiot. Thus, we flame him for the lulz. 99 Crafting :: 39,750th || 99 Attack :: 1,775th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 ... I fail to understand why some people are so aggressive over nothing. How ironic. I fail to understand why some people are ranting over nothing, as well. Perhaps you can help me out with that. Linux User/Enthusiast | Full-Stack Software Engineer | Stack Overflow Member | GIMP User...Alright, the Elf City update lured me back to RS over a year ago.

Noob_Sammich Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Shouldn't this be in Help & Advice? Golly gee. People get flamed for arguing the stuuuuuuuupid things. Like the color of Edgeville, or the fact that a bank chest in a basement got a new look..... or the fact that RSHD is still a beta version. Find something good to argue about so we can have a logical discussion. It just goes to show that, though there's an age requirement, there's no IQ requirement to play RS.Wait, my friend said he got a keylogger and lyke he coudln't type, so I assumed it messed up his hands?

goten6456 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Lol judging by the last few posts I'd say the guy has a point... In my opinion, the rants forum is a place to vent, rather than building anger inside. When you release that anger, it helps that person, regardless of how stupid that rant may be. But I submit that flaming a person over even a stupid rant causes the positive aspects of releasing the anger to be cast aside, only to be replaced by anger at the flamer(s). Bottom line: Sure, there are a lot of dumb rants here, but there is no reason why you cannot communicate that in a respectable manner, regardless of the intelligence level of the ranter. So I realize now I'll get a bunch of flames my way, w00t! Now, most of us dont have a problem with distinguishing RS from reality, and we all know that if you hit someone with an axe in real life they dont drop 3gp and some bones then respawn a few seconds later.

After all that is wasting your attention on nothing but something that was written during a frustrated tantrum. You cannot expect someone in that mood to write together something intelligent before they calm down. In a nutshell, don't feed the trolls.

People who flame people with 'lower intelligence' than themselves are just showing how arrogant and pig-headed they are. This is also ironic as they can be the people who support rants of how 'maturity' has decreased on the boards. Woodcutting does not raise your combat level because most people do not play as yew trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphyna Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I try not to flame people, I just post either why I agree or why I personally think they're wrong. Some rants are just ridiculous, while others actually have some merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh181830 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 My other thread got flamed cause I said that I have accounts in F2P with wildy skulls... :wall: However, out of the recent forums that I remember (Forum.tip.it , Ubuntu forums , and Paint.net forums), I see a lot more flaming on here. Is all the flaming based around rs? Because I don't see much flaming in the off-topic section of this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphyna Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 So it would seem....people tend to get *really* involved in RS things...sometimes it would do us all good to take a deep breath and repeat "RS is just a game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper88888 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Make a stupid thread or post and it will get flamed. Make a thread or post supporting one side of a hotly contested issue, and it will probably get flamed. Thankfully, flames cannot hurt me, because I always carry one of these: : There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

Moonshadow Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 People flame on tif because of their age and the overall mentality of tipit itself. If you dislike all the flamers on tif, just don't even bother posting, ignore them or move to a different part of the boards or move off of the boards themselves. The smaller the community, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave me a little chuckle. :lol: However yes, there is a lot of prejudice and unfair judging going about on this board. It seems a large chunk of the active posters have an arrogant and cynical attitude and are quick to break down on anything or anyone they disagree with. It leave me concerned as it is very bad for the community. No one deserves being disrespected for having an idea or opinion, unless it is clearly abusive or against the law. Factually correcting someone is one thing, personally attacking them "for being "stupid", "moron" or "noob" is another. That should not be tolerated on this forum.

Zierro Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 To put it simple: Flame Jagex, and you're gonna get flamed by "fanboys". The Rants Forum is to vent - not to try to get players against Jagex with propaganda. Venting off steam =/= generating more steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdattack16 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This topic breaks the rules of the Rants forum and should be locked. ;) Seriously, people, we either need to stop making topics like this or change the Rants forum rules.

Rainy_Day Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 This forum is for ingame rants. If you see posts that break forum rules, simply report them so that a moderator can take action. -Locked ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
