Man am I ever sick of wading through the countless whiners that feel he need to come here and complain to get to something useful or entertaining.

How about you whiners all STFU! This game is fun as hell. If you don't like it, get out. Grow up!

Since these whiners are all acting like children, I doubt they will do the mature thing and just shut up.

So, can we create a forum to bump those threads into? PLEASE!

They are really stinking the place up.

:mad:

    I was wondering when someone was going to post one of these today. It just doesn't feel right unless we get one of these threads per day.

    One of these for every fifty whiner threads seems about right to me. ;)

    We already have a forum for 'whiners' (sic)
    the same as we have a forum for apologists and blinkered fanboys.
    It's called the 'Star Trek Online Discussion' forum.

    If you disagree with what's being discussed then throw your hat into the ring. If not then kindly allow those who are spending the same money as you to voice their concerns.

    If you want a "nothing is wrong, we love the game as it is" forum, then lobby for that. Ostracise yourself from the discussion rather than seek to banish others for the sole reason that you have a difference of opinion.

    The simple irony of this thread is worth its weight in entertainment value.

    OP PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO DONT POST IN CAPS!!!

    Also, don't do the other sensible thing, and please don't skip/ignore that which causes your blood pressure to rise.

    Instead read it all, and take it personally too, you can't be a good fanboi if you don't take the comments customers make about a companys product, personally, and than attack them for making those comments.

    YAY posting in another whiner thread w00t!

    I would fully agree with this once it becomes true. But this really doesn't apply when you have open forums. I really hate not knowing if I'm spending time responding to another player's thoughts or just a troll who is bored playing their own game and is popping in to STO to stir up trouble. I fully agree that every subscriber should be allowed to use these forums even for complaints. Even if they come across as complete idiots for paying for a game they completely hate :)

    I know a lot of people seem to like the drama and insults that get thrown around but a lot of us don't. The main reason we view negative posts is to see if there is something we can help with, give information we have, or even to see if we are sympathetic. But with an open forum, when you run into a whiny or raging post that you consider unreasonable the first thing you become suspicious of is that person is non-subscriber just trolling. And that sort of ruins the whole feeling of trying to help a fellow player.

    A standard game forum would allow anyone to view the posts but only subscribers could post. I'm hoping after the 30 day initial period Cryptic will consider this.

    How old are you...13...14? Do I need to point out the hypocrisy of your post or are you grown up enough to figure it out all by yourself? :confused:

    See.. it doesn't bother me so much. If a topic has been raised, it shouldn't matter whether it was the King of the Belgians or Cletus the Slackjawed Yokel who brought it up. Others may still be interested in the conversation regardless of who started it.

    Fear of trolls shouldn't even enter into it, as they will soon show their hand regardless. In the meantime, the possibility of reasonable civil conversation exists in almost ANY topic.

    Your point certainly isn't unreasonable. And I wouldn't argue with anyone who felt they wanted to get outsiders' opinions about the game. But my personal feeling is that a game's forums are maintained to promote the community of players. If the forums get seen as a place where people go to fight, bash the game and insult each other, I think there will be even fewer players (proportionately) who use the forums eventally. Which would probably result in Cryptic paying less attention to what is said here.

    And there are other forums where this information can be discussed as well. MMORPG has an STO forum. But what's done with the STO forums should be decided with input from forum users. I've heard a lot of people get really upset about people trashing STO but so far I haven't really seen a lot of support for the idea when I've brought up restricting the forums. So it's very possible that most of the forum users like things just the way they are.
