This might be of interest to some of you. A very typical thread I am involved in. The other parties involved are not important for this topic, I am not specifically saying anyone there has been referred to previously in this thread......

I would like to provide a play-by-play of what is happening. In the format of PAGE # : POST #

1:.1 OP is about the mouseover text for the slayer counter.
1:2 Another player verifies the issue.
1:3 Mod is confused, but helpful.
1:4 Another player corrects the confusion above, states he sent a bug report.
1:5 I relate to the issue and remind that you can expand the box for information.
1:6 Player talks about something different, and says this issue won't be fixed.
1:7 I correct the misinformation he has added
1:8 His reply is way too long. He is being difficult for no reason.
1:9 I post something of a final statement, to shut him down
1: 10 He drops the line of the year, trying to focus on his nonsense rather than the topic....

2:1 I drop another final statement
2:2 seeing that he replies to 1:4. He is trying to explain he knows all about it, but he is very much confused in what he says.
2:3 New poster replies to 1:6 also correcting it and expanding on the OP issue
2:4 OP returns to confirm he forgot about the expanded popup. He just wants it fixed
2:5 Player denies what he wrote on page 1, it's just people ignore the facts...
2:6 I'm shocked but not surprised. I remind him of page 1.
2:7 he uses OP as an example of people who ignored the facts. OP just posted 2:4 btw.
2:8 I call him out on this.
2:9 He backed off very nicely.



Why am I sharing? First off to see my POV on a very typical thread. In different circumstances, or if I had said something different I would have been reported. But at no time did I have any bad intentions.


EDIT: If the mods think I shouldn't have posted that you have my permission to hide this. I'm not trying to stir things up.

tbh i would have ignored him and every thing he wrote after that,, best to not give them energy


Right, thing is that is an example of the bait. Saying this particular issue will not be fixed. At the time that player posted at 1:6 we had a problem, verified, reported and a few temporary fixes to use.

None of that was good enough.

Sadly from what I have seen baiting others is not dealt with....... baiters seem above the letter of the law.......maybe the baiters are secret staff lol.... Remember Caz. Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

i hope you all enjoyed reading and posting in this thread as i have . again thank you all see you in the game ( unless i see you first and you are in the wilderness,, then you are mine , please wear your most expensive outfits )

That made me laugh. Needed that mate. :P

Anyway glad you got it off your chest. Hopefully everyone got in insight into these issues where F-Mods and the Community using Forum Help have a hard task to deal with issues now and then.

Have to remember though the rules now are much better then several years ago. Which I'm sure we all like. The freedome we have now is great. I'm enjoying these forums a lot more now then I did several years back.

See you in the Wilderness Mr Togue. :P

Also remember if you feel someone's comments are causing issues ask a F-Mod or CM Staff Member on Forum Help to just check it out. No harm in asking for a check up. You never know it could be hidden. We are here to help. Honest. ;)

If you see any baiting and have not reported it to Forum Help then the chances of a F-Mod or CM Staff Member catching it is limited.

If it's reported to Forum Help thread then you are guaranteed at least 1 F-Mod review on the issue. If it's a complicated issue then the F-Mod will pass it to the team and discuss it and make the call.

Last thing I think anyone wants are serial baiters within the forums as they mess it up for everyone. Yes we know a few!!!!

So what harm can a report make. ;)

I've removed a flaming post in this thread. I realize this is obviously a very heated subject, and one very worthy of discussion, as evidenced by the wealth of posts and opinions in this thread, but let's try to keep blanket attacks on people out of this.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that FMods weren't real. What I meant to say was I wish we had adult mods.

I'm not going to beat around the bush with this; why is Draco still allowed to post?
