Frankly.
I'm tired of being told my opinions/advice/posts are NOT welcome on something that effects the whole community.
If what the gods said were true and people keep sending complaints to them about all this harassment/bullying/trolling whatever you want to call it and they shut down the site or the whole game why shouldn't we ALL be able to post what we think about it, what we should do.
We are all capable of having a mature discussion about it so I don't appreciate being told to stop posting what I think about it on a public forum. This problem is not up to two or three people of the community to sort on their own or decide what is best for the rest of us.
As there are no official moderators I feel this community does a good job and moderating itself for the most part certainly more than most that I've been on but when there is a problem it was running off the the gods or everyone takes offence and falls apart over it.
I will admit I'm annoyed about the over reaction to the trolling when ignoring it would have solved a lot of grief and I probably wouldn't be writing this journal.
I know some of you think I'm just perpetuating this drama by posting this, but i'm tired of my thoughts and feelings being deleted because apparently there is not a debate on the subject.
Well there SHOULD be a debate on it, on what should be done by the community because this effects everyone if the game is shut down because people keep running back to the gods every time there is an incident in the forest that we should be able to sort on our own.
Flame me if you want, complain or just get it off your chest. I will try to respond in a mature manner or take my own advice and ignore and have a laugh you if you are turning into a troll.
Thankyou for reading.
I hope we can still be civil in game and my deer has not lost any friends because of my thoughts and feelings.
Number one, it was not just
That is all. <3
If the trolls are just
Believe me, I know they can be irritating, but if you just get aggravated by it, you're only giving into their little game. And thankfully, this isn't like other games where a character or entity can obstruct your game play and block your movements.
If they're mooing, turn the sound down and pop on some music instead. If they're stepping on you, making rude gestures, the lot, continue your fun in whatever way you were before as if they don't exist. Hell, sometimes they throw a tantrum over it and you can get your spite jollies out of that.
Continually complaining to M&A about something as infantile and easy to ignore as a few trolls in a game like this is worse than the trolls themselves. Not only do you end the enjoyment that CAN be had in the Forest for the trolls, you're ending it for EVERYONE. You're ending it for those kind people who /far/ outweigh the cruel. The creative, the unique, the well known, the unknown. /Everything/. It can be all gone simply because someone who wants to get a rise out of another person can't be ignored.
That comes off as really selfish, to me. And I don't mean to poke sticks at or sound harsh, but really. It's an easy problem to fix without haraguing the creators and receiving threats to destroy the forest.
We all know they have bigger fish to take care of. It's out of the kindness of their heart that TEF is even here anymore.
Please, don't press the issue.
Just don't feed the trolls.
Just because I asked nicely
