Rudeness in the Forums

Does this look familiar?

"This area is meant to be a positive place for constructive discussion of the game. Flames and other rude behaviour will not be tolerated. Offenders may have their accounts deleted. If you have a suggestion about the game, we would love to hear it. If you disagree with someone, please keep it good-natured. Thanks."

It should, as it is the opening screen for these forums. Over the years we have had a handful of users who have disregarded these rules. Some have altered their behavior and are among the finer citizenry of Vendetta, while others have left...in one way or another.

I write today because valuable time and energy is being wasted both in creating/fostering negativity in the forums, and in trying to police it. We've come too far and are too close to the goal to waste resources on petty bickering. Shape up, take it to another website, or just go away.

Those who cannot abide by this will have their posts deleted. If the behavior continues, other measures WILL be taken.

Ppl really need to start shaping up, hopefully must of us can do it without having to be asked. I mean the devs probably would like to sell this game and if its filled with jerks it won't.

So I say w00t FM!

wait, I said w00t FM...

Oh well, Durgia can second me.

<<Thanks for that FM. w00t! You still rock.>>

to me it looked like you thanked FM, then put in a misc. w00t. Maybe I was wrong. Oh well one can never have too many w00ts.


(PS /me wonders how long it will take somebody to try to make too many w00ts.)

FM,

Thank you for your patience, hard work and abundant good sense.
Not to mention, what must be an inexhaustible good humor.

The support for both this thread and Vendetta in general is appreciated. Months from now I hope to read in the reviews about the great community Vendetta has.

Trust me, compared to other MMORPG communities, this place is a haven.

*chuckle* Compared to most other FPS communities... this place is not just a haven but is HEAVEN!

/me STILL shudders and has BAD nightmares at memories of the CounterStrike and Firearms communities...

The above has put me into therapy for almost 2 years now! :)
