SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

The main reason, I'm told, that SpawnPoint does not want non-staffers and those not involved posting in the Report an Incident section is because ignorant people who wish to provide their say-so often post ignorant things. Some people may come into the forums, see how the ignorant person responded, and assume that's how things are always ran around here. That's bad.

Another reason is because "flaming" often occurs when everyone wishes to pitch in their "two cents." Flaming is bad as well. It makes SpawnPoint look as if it isn't in control of what goes on within their forums. No one is going to play on the servers of a company that can't even keep order in its forums, are they?

Starting a new forum for "dummy versions" would make SpawnPoint's current safeguards irrelevant, in my opinion.

Wow! My apologies! I think i ve posted in the "Report and Incident" section. Sorry was not aware of guidelines....mental note made!

It's quite funny but a lot of people don't actually take the time to read ALL the sticky posts at the top of each forum section before they progress with posting.

A LOT of policy and suchlike are quite clearly present in those "stickies" as well as here clicky

I'd recommend that people read up on all the forum stickies and take notes on the things they reckon are important.

Someone once posted that it's quite "depressing" that the Report an Incident forums have the second most threads in it. Perhaps if people took the time to READ Spawnpoints important information and server rules and guidelines it would greatly reduce the number of "Issues" that the staff have to deal with.

It's nice to see Greenblaster finally understanding the reasons we (Spawnpoint) try to avoid the "my two cents" policy. YOUR "two cents" may be very different to Spawnpoints "two cents".

Dwinx the reasons for locking down threads like the Gatsurendo one is that the issue had run it's course. No side to the arguement had any proof and if you read the tones and inflections in the posts the "mud slinging" was about to begin. "He says, she says" threads serve no purpose and the information presented by myself to BOTH parties will ensure that it won't happen again.

Dwinx i'm not saying you can't have a constructive and sometimes heated debate on the forums. You just have to check out some of the "political" threads in the Rant section ;)

I (and it's purely my opinion based on experience on these forums) just feel that if a staff member / moderator reaches a particular conclusion on a "Report an Incident" forum the last thing Spawnpoint would want to see (Particularly on these forums) is a debate as to whether other people reckon that the conclusion was the right or wrong one :eek:

I think that Spawnpoint have gone out of their way to pick staff members who are both fair and impartial. We might not be able to get every situation 100% correct and not satisfy people ALL the time but we do a pretty damn good job in the whole :D

As for a better term how about "Freethinkers" as opposed to "Sheeple" ;)

See debate can be fun, constructive and informative (I had to google your US sports host guy) lol

Thanks for the words of wisdom Phil. I do not want to fan the flames, just to make sure I understand what is going on and why.
