God I love it when MODS delete posts.



I guess I'm not entitled to my opinion on here. No great loss.

I remember for the few months i ran a board regularly getting kids that would come on and bitch cause i didnt give them 50 runic and super gear just to have them "Honor" my board with their presence. I seriously hate people whos sole intent it seems is to cause as much trouble as they can to other users then bitch when the other users slaughter them. Ive been on so many boards where i see some one start shit and then someone kills that user and all the shit talker does is whine and cry about getting killed till someone kills him again or the admin gags him.



Honestly i know there are some good kids out there, i see them every day on the boards i play on but there seems to be a growing world of kids who feel entitled to talk shit, demand items or favors or just want to start shit then whine. Its not just Muds that are getting screwed eather. I remember when alot of the online games i play had nothing but civil people and an occasional asshole, now i dont like even touching games like DOD or CS because all you get are the assholes.



I better just end this rant here and now by saying the best course of action is to eather outright ban them or try to reason with them... and the latter option takes patients.

What really pisses me off, is new players comming to "our" boards and wanting all the top armour & weapons right from the get go. Or always wanting to know when "blah" monster is alive, or having alignments changed. Or what really gets me, is the expectation of being power leveled.



Fuck off, and play the fucking game, we're not high level to play the fucking game for you. I worked damn hard to get the equipment I have, I almost never ask if a monster is alive, if I wanna know, I'll hike out and find out, I wasn't power leveled, so I aint gonna power level you.

yes.... Yes... YEs... YES... YES YES YES!! Let's reawaken this thread, because I do believe it to be one of the most relavent threads yet posted on MMB forums.



I have an easy solution to your problem Pant... Become the sysop. Hire three or four staff members who can take care of all these problems while you just sit back in your chair, sip a Skye Blue and watch :-)



Staffers are what keep these boards running. Without them we would get absolutely NOWHERE, and our boards would remain a 15 user flop.



I agree about the above post... These kids need to be put in their place immediately... before they begin causing headaches for the more valuable, experienced players.

You know, I never would have guessed that you, Stu, would be one to do that.... ! j/k :-p



I think all whiners and troublesome meddlers/script killers should be transformed into little pet :monkey:'s so that we can play with them, and if they get to annoying, just shoot them in the head and put them out of our misery.



Yes... I said our... not 'their'... because in their minds they aren't being a pain, but in our heads they are, at that current point in time, the most annoying nuisance present.



One great way I have found to get rid of them, and I tried this on Trial and Error BBS, is to respond to their flaming insults with kind words. This completely throws them off, and drives them to further frustration.



I tryed this with {nameless} on T&E, he saw fit to begin throwing his mouth around. Even though his comments were lacking any intellectual backing, I still saw fit to pay a little attention to him. {nameless} began declaring that his donations to the mmud community were PRICELESS and INVALUABLE. And pretty much declaring himself the MajorMud community God, bragging about how T&E uses one of his 'cracks' and I suppose declaring himself king of T&E. Along with this he has the audacity to claim that he has a phd degree or some such... This coming from the exact same mud char that is known for throwing his mouth around and vagrantly disregard any form of grammatical structure.



I do believe we should have a tommy knocker, or some such in majormud with which we could beat this senseless fools over the head with...



But hey... They come... and they go, correct? After he was pvp'ed a few times by other players because he was being a smartassed loudmouth he disappeared, and I haven't seen him since.



{nameless}... {Insert flame here} There, it's all ready for you to go ahead and make a half-witted reply back ;)

I have found that the best for my board personally is myself and one other active mudop (sysop in the case of Astaroth (demosthenes)) so that we can talk and counter each other. We almost always have opposite views on things and more or less negotiate with each other researching and bringing up valuable points to counter the others arguments. Anyway.. that's just my opinion.

You two disagree about literally everything, so that's a good example Drag ;)
