On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

I think trying to enforce some kind of hard rule is a mistake.

You can't hear me, but I'm screaming in happiness.

Enforcing a hard rule such as possibly: No Profanity will filter some content that players are trying to produce which can limit us in our ability to communicate with each other

Here is my guide for not being a dingus

- dont insult people to discredit their points (bolth said it best, attack ideas not people)

- dont be a dick

- if someone asked u to stop doing a negative behavior towards them, respect their wishes

- at the end of the day your playing against another person, treat them like one

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

I think everyone here is capable of following these points and playing in the same general style they usually play in

If you don't mind me adding to this:

If a player feels genuinely uncomfortable they should be able to effectively communicate that they aren't comfortable with the way they're being grilled and can so and so back off, regardless if it's T/T W/W T/W W/T 3p/T 3p/W interactions.

Nowhere does it say that we are not allowed to call people out for anything that we feel is wrong.

Even if we see it, we should all have the awareness to say "Bro, you're grilling X too hard, take a 15 minute break and cool your jets"

I think now that I've said this, I believe ignorance to the aggression (MYSELF INCLUDED) that any player gets, is an addressable issue going forward in this discussion.

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

To roundbox, i agree that going forward any infractions shouldnt be subject to community judgement and should be taken care of in private by mods.

Shadow got dragged into this because i brought up an example from my game. To which i aplogize because it was out of line to namedrop him when we are brainstorming broad solutions to a persistant issue. There is no behind the scenes chats going on (i dont think) so i dont think u have to worry about that.

Lol i tell people all the time in games to go drink some water when they getting too heated. (Shoutout to shadogod)

I agree that we are capable of self policing in games and it shouldnt have anything to do with alignment.

Ideally it should never get bad enough to require a mod to intervene but everyone has to be on the same page

You're STILL missing the W in ShadowGod

IT'S BECAUSE I LOST THE GAME, YOU WON'T GIVE ME MY W

Its cause that quote comes from ShadoWolfe, not Shadow_God_10

EDIT: i was being retarded and misremembered his name. You have hijacked his space in my mind i guess

Come back and play wolfe!

He's the originator of telling people (Read: Me) to "go drink some water ffs" which is code for go take a break youre being obstinate. Ive used it a fair bit since then

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

i think we should have some BASIC RULES
some COMMUNITY SUPPORT
some OUTREACH thanks

if i could quote this a hundred times i would

if you absolutely need to involve insults and "friendly" "jabs" in your playstyle then maybe you should take a step back and figure out why that is

everyone here should be perfectly capable of playing this game without being a dick, friendly intentions or not, to other players

nobody NEEDS to say anything, or really play at all. friendly jabs and insults can be a part of some people's personality and how they banter with their friends. It doesn't make the person toxic, and I don't think they need to take a step back for any reason

[mellonxcollie]

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

friendly intentions or not

I think some people should look at their posts in this thread through the same lens to be completely frank

Re: On the subject of Toxicity/Community Check-in (TWG)

also in a twist that will shock everyone, I 100% agree with Freezi's posts especially this one

I think trying to enforce some kind of hard rule is a mistake.

Just appoint another mod or 2 and hold people accountable in postgame if they have a meltdown.

Im sure people are smart enough to realize when theyre going too far. And if they dont it will quickly become apparent
