Title: Let's bring back Argonath Forum's fun!
Post by: Machiavelli on November 20, 2011, 11:19:03 pm
Let's bring back the fun of the forum, like it was before. I know you probably will be like "another moaning topic" "another 'it was better couple years back' topic". But with this topic I wanna set shit straight and get things done. I just need a little co-operation of the higher ranked Argonath people.

- Trolls
First thing I want to see gone here, is the trolls. The should be a zero-tolerance about trolling. Whenever a post gets reported and an admin approves it's trolling (or the fake ass trolling which is even more annoying)  for real the troll should be forum banned for at least a day and the post should be deleted.

- Politics and Religion
Sensitive subject? I know right. The reason it got deleted was because of the retards provoking others by coming up with false or really weird "facts" and arguments about other's countries.

Why don't we get the topic back?
Because we're too scared the past will repeat itself.

What should we do to not make that happen?

Zero tolerance about flaming and disrespecting other's countries and/or opinions. And have some bloody common sense. I mean where's the fun when you tell someone else's country is corrupt or whatever, seriously.

Maybe we could just get the board back, for like a month as a test to see how shit goes and by the results judge if it stays or not.

- A new feature
Separate boards for other languages than English. Like Dutch, Romanian, Russian etc. It has been opposed by Aragorn before, but it just like disappeared. Everyone was quite positive. When I made a topic about it, everyone was negative. Quite funny, when Aragorn opposes it, everyone's positive. Me; Everyone's negative.

Still a game.

But I like this idea.

There should be no boards for separate languages. When I read these forums, I want to understand what people say, when moderators moderatoe these forums, they must know what people are talking about.

Apart from this being so very useless, It would also be a bunch of work to moderate them and a bunch of useless new boards. If you still think this would be ''cool'' then you can still see that ^ as an obstacle and reason why this would never happen. There is simply insufficient moderation power

I think it would be nice if we had 1 single board "Other Languages" in Speakerbox possibly.
In this board are topics "Russian talk" "Spanish talk" "Swedish talk" "Dutch talk" etc, where people can speak their own language ONLY in that topic.

Yeah I'm with you. But, the idea is not what I know of to create more than one board per each language. I've seen alot of people around here that can't speak English at all- and if we had such boards for their main language it'd make it easier for them to learn and understand in that way.

You can easily set some new moderators, not that much work though.

Salmonella, It's not all about negativity. It's about wanting something then you can achieve it.

Well if the person can't speak English at all - then how do you imagine he would play Argonath anyway? Sorry but some English knowledge is essential.
Wouldn't be the only useless board. (forum games)
And what about a Turkish moderator on a Turkish topic, and an Estonian moderator on an Estonian topic.
Haaah.

Yep...it's just a game in a game world, taking place in an online community of real people, in a real world, who have real feelings, friendships, thoughts, and reactions.

Maybe I don't have feelings. Is that your point?
You understand what I was trying to say, and you know what my point is. I'm not here to argue.

You're here to make friends probably. I'm here to play a game, nothing more. And if you don't want to argue here, why did you made such comment.
A comment can be made in disagreeance without arguing.

Estonia4ever.  :cop:
That haah was because of what I think is Estonians one quality (generalizing here) - we do not talk to each other that much. For example me and oliver have been here for a long time now and I think we haven't exchanged more than 10 sentences.

When we would bring it over to real world we would probably be those guys who give each other a respectful nod( down-up-down)

and just move foward.

Not on Argonath, and I don't see the point in arguing with you. My advice; Go share your feelings through a game.
I will do that, with the other real people who share my same, real feelings.

That is exactly what I was talking about, one board per language. Let's see... That would be at least 150 boards ONLY for the MOST used languages on earth, excluding 3000 other languages and dialects this world counts, that some random new player might demand a board for. I have indeed witnessed people who barely or not at all speak English in this community, and they made themselfs very clear through Google translate.

Negativity? Just because I oppose a random, very simple and not thought-through idea of yours, doesn't mean I am being negative. I would personally prefer to refer to it as realistic. The main languages of the people in Argonath would be at least 50 boards ( roughly ), not to mention possible growing populations, causing more languages to become part of ''the main languages''.

You cannot ''easily set ''some'' new moderators''. I can tell you that moderators aren't the most easy thing to find. As you might know, the requirements of being a moderator ingame OR on the forums are met by very few. There's a reason why out of 20 pages of applicants less than 10 are actually taken in. I do understand why you think it's so easy to recruit moderators though, I hope you'll change your mind about it and won't be so simpleminded when suggesting big changes.

Wanting something isn't part of achieving anything. Achieving has something to do with doing, thinking and also -realism- in this case.

Just bring Politics and Religion back.

+1

And last but not least..
It's just a game...

Don't be some pain in the ass hipster constantly nagging about the most unneccesary subjects you could possibly come up with in a relatively small gaming community.

Think about it. You really think he's talking about all these 3000 languages?

"Pain in the ass"...? And that's an administrator in game. I guess they took a wrong man from those "20 pages of applicants".

Still a game.

I'm free to express my opinion so I don't see the value to call me a "Pain in the ass".

I was speaking in general and not reffering to you, I was actually supporting your statement, funny to get such a defense though.

And no, I doubt anyone will actually ask for one of these 3000 languages but If the people who support the idea want to support their own principles they should support them fully and demand for the full package.

If I would talk to a friend or someone else who happens to be dutch in Argonath I would just PM him and speak English to him in public. Having some respect and talking in a language everyone supposedly understands in this community, thus knows what's being said, is more important to me than talking to others in my native language. I believe I actually prefer talking English anyways ( typing, that is ).

Well, you quoted my post and called the man who posted it, me, a ''pain in the ass".
No man, I was like, ''And last but not least : < your statement>, then adding my own stuff to your statement, directed at whoever feels spoken to.
