Lol.

[x-scythe]

well...i suspect by now a good amount of people who play on guildwars have read/tried this.

[DeletedUser]

Actually it doesnt work as of that date since we fixed it like a week ago o_O

[x-scythe]

hahaha damn i bet if he ever reads this he will feel extremely stupid. haha banned for no reason

[Tertiary]

I didn't see the original post by g0atx before it was edited, but is posting details of money dupe bugs a bannable offence now ? I have seen a couple before in the development forum and posted a fix for one myself.

Or was he just a retard ?

[mattmeck]

he was Dev bashing,

I do NOT agree with just_add_water's post here, with the amount of people I have dealt with ( mental health specialist in the army) somthing like this is not somthing to joke about. If he is having suicidal thought this pic could be enough to set him off.

I do NOT agree with just_add_water's post here

I was going to post the same thought, but then figured he is a Dev and who am I to criticize him on their boards, but yes, I thought that was a bit out of line ...

[Wiz]

Why would we owe any courtesy whatso-fucking-ever to a person who is trolling our boards?

[DeletedUser]

Hes not suicidal he got his character banned from GuildWars for duping platinum, he doesn't belong here and we banned his entire ISP to make sure of it.

[mattmeck]

If you have ever had a loved one commit suicide you would find this offencive too.

I have seen a lot of BS stuff go on here and most were done by the Dev's, this is the last straw for my and my family, I refuse to support a community that is run by people like this.

So this is my last post and I wont be seen on any servers anymore bye everyone.

[Trumpcard]

Yea... I agree... Maturity levels have dropped even more.... amazing....

[Aquelin]

Good.

[x-scythe]

i definately do not agree with what just_add_waters post was gesturing towards. i have had people i was good friends with commit suicide. i agree with mattmeck that this isnt something to joke around with. i also agree with trumpcard that maturity levels have dropped tremendously. when i first came to the emu it wasnt like this. then rules galore came out with just warnings at first and now its instantly bannable if you ask a certain question? come on. i mean seriously. EqEmu has changed for the worst. practically every post has someone flaming in it. i guess the no-flaming rule is out the window now. even the devs are flaming. wont name names but some of them are in my opinion the worst flamers on the forums. i know i havent contributed any code or anything but i have tried to help people whenever i could. unless it was an insanely stupid question.

i have decided i am leaving EqEmu. its falling apart. its just not fun anymore.
good bye

[Shadow-Wolf]

we banned his entire ISP to make sure of it.

:shock:
isn't that a bit harsh? what about others who lived in that area with the same isp they can't play GW cause one little dipshit? oh well its your server you make the rules...

[mollymillions]

The people running the board have liberty to do whatever they want with it, all you can really do is not participate if you don't like what you see.
All rules should apply to all users/admins/devs IMO.

[DeletedUser]

lol as I recall mattmeck you flamed all the newbies, what makes your maturity so high?

[Lasiel]

Big difference between flaming someone and insinuating someone go gash their wrists don't ya think? Matt has every right to be pissed if he's had to deal with that kind of shit before in RL. To see that kind of mentality coming from someone on the dev team does make one wonder though...

[Muuss]

All this is just absurd. I can't understand how someone like Mattmeck who dedicates lots of time helping people, find solutions and spend time just to make people finding their way into that project could be flammed down by that same community.
You're speaking of maturity but almost none of you are able to make one step behind and read what they write before pressing the submit button. Its certainly not only a question of maturity, that's a total non sense. Someone write's a bad word because the sentence came like that when he wrote it, and its an open war... I can't believe that. Most of that shit is so pointless that people should laugh when they read it, instead of that, they keep answering, ban, provoke, insult or whatever...
I m not defending Mattmeck, RL and to much personnal opinions shouldn't appear on that kind of forum, only because it leads directly to what's happening. I m criticizing the lack of support from the devs here.

I feel really sad to read that Mattmeck leaves for such reasons. He did more for the community than most of the people here, me included, and with no possible comparison. Pathetic.

[Trumpcard]

I also believe that there is a huge difference between being rude to someone , and making posts recommending suicide.. Maturity does not mean that you never get annoyed with someone, but it does mean that your response does have the temperance of common sense with it.

I dont think Matt ever recommended anyone kill themselves. I didnt particularlly find it amusing either... When you start posting images from rotten.com and it's ilk, then obviously the maturity level is dropping. I understand that alot of people on the boards are younger, but the development team, IMHO , has the responsibility to be above that, and should moderate these boards with more sense than that. When a dev posts or makes a response, his words or reponses reflect upon the entire team.

[Muuss]

Well, ok, that's the Dev team's position, i have no other choice than respect it.
Tho i ll still believe that publicly lynch someone that does so much for the community and let him go away without a word doesn't raise that maturity level.
In france, we have a word for what happened, its "derapage", that's those rare things that happen, sometimes, when they shouldn't happen if people were respecting the common sense. If Matt made an error, well, he made it, ok, warn him privately and that's finished, i m persuaded he is intelligent and adult enough to know that he went to far and should drop the subject. Instead of that, the topic isnt closed and finishes with the worst possible end for the community. I regret this, i was appreciating Matt and was impressed by its presence and the overall very good qualities of his anwsers, that ll be missed.

[Trumpcard]

Im not sure how you took my response as 'the dev team position'

I have my opinion as too how members of the dev team should act, and what is within good taste, but those are just my personal opinions. There is no enforcement arm of the group that slaps people on the wrists when they do things others of us don't approve of.

I also hate to see Matt leave, but its his decision. Ultimately none of us have the ability to regulate the actions of the others...

[DeletedUser]

I am aware they are in no way similar its the fact that just like no one should post the suicidal crap, why is it ok for him to flame newbs daily, it doesn't matter what goes on in your daily lives, you should never ever take out your problems on someone else, its just stupid.

[Trumpcard]

We notimated him to moderate the boards, then when he did things that way no one said a word about it. So, in our silence we made it permissible...

If you had moral observations about the way he admin'd, why wait till after the fact to complain about it ?

I agree, it is stupid to take out and vent your problems on these boards, thats why ive been so vehement lately about people behaving with a little civility , but the fact is we allowed the boards to get to this point by not being actively involved.... So whose to blame, them for their attitudes or us for turning a blind eye to it while it was happening ?

[DeletedUser]

Naw this was before his 'nomination' I didn't nominate anyone

[aendaar]

i would just like to recomend we all beg mattmeck back...because he was pretty cool..

[a_Guest03]

Well, goes to show what leaving for over a week does to eqemu!

:?

[Scorpion360]

[aendaar]

>_> *dictator voice* WE MUST BEG THE GODS BACK...AND....KILL...SOMEBODY.. (lets not let those two leave without us begging the hell out of them to stay)

[thorndruid]

I learned a lot on this board, by doing search's etc to setup my own server and troubleshoot it (its not up because i wanted to set it up using minilogin, and not publish it to the login server). Working in the IT business though u get a lot of people that can frustrate the crap out of you because the want to be lead by the hand to fix their problems (or you to do it for them), I see it is no different here. Yea there are questions that people ask a million and a half times, and you just want to reach out and strangle them. You can't call them idiots or anything like that (under your breath maybe), you just smile and help them, or point them in the right direction. I don't know the whole story about this suicide thing, but what i read here so far is kind of silly. The problem with the typed word is that no one can really read ur context when u write it. You may say something as a joke but the other person could take it serious because the don't know the context in which u write it. All i am saying is i think we little a humiltity and compassion here for us noobs. After all there is no such thing as a stupid question only stupid people.

[Trumpcard]

Note : This isnt directed at you, its just a general rant..

After all there is no such thing as a stupid question only stupid people

You know, comments like that make me realize why i can't stand most other people in the IT profession, that haughty arrogance that comes from disdain of what they do, and anytime someone asks them a question FOR WHAT THEY GET PAID FOR, they act like its a blessing that they respond..

It amazes the crap out of me... You go into this profession to be an expert at what you do then treat people that know less than you with disdain? If the users knew more than you, you'd be flipping burgers somewhere.. Appreciate the fact that youre a subject matter expert, treat those with respect that dont know what you do.. If you are that unhappy answering questions about computers, you really need a career change..

I've been playing guitar for 20 years, I dont call all of you STUPID that dont know the difference between a stratocaster and a Les Paul.. Smart people ask STUPID questions everyday, and dumb people can ask extremely smart questions... When a question is asked out of complete ignorance (ie I know absolutely ZERO about a subject) , then of course theyre going to sound stupid to someone thats been doing it for 10 years.

IGNORANCE DOES NOT EQUAL STUPIDITY

IM not saying I havent seen stupid comments / posts , I've seen a ton of them, but it so easy to classify something as STUPID without putting an ounce of thought into the source of the question.. Especially online, its very hard to convey messages sometimes, especially when alot of people have a difficult time expressing thoughts/questions in a written form...

[Eglin]

Thanks, Trump. That sounds almost vindicating for someone like myself who is notorious for random acts of braindumping! We all occasionally need a whack or two from a clue stick.

[DeletedUser]

Imagine if teachers called all of their students stupid, think of what the world would be today :)
