My autoresponse goes off, and there's a long pause. Then I get the IM. Apparently this person didn't like one of my forum posts (what else is new?), and they decided it bothered them so much, they would look me up in-world and IM me in order to tell me how furious they are and how rude I am and yadda yadda, blah blah blah. I didn't really pay attention- I was working on a script. But how crazy are people that they have to actually take the time to look someone up in-world, and go on a rant in IMs over a forum post? Maybe it's my gaming background, but where I come from, general discussion nonsense and trolling never carried into the game. The two mediums didn't overlap except on realm/group recruitment forums. Why does that seem to happen here in SL? *Just shakes my head* You and I have had our "go-rounds" within the forums but we eventually came to a "meeting of the minds" and now, although I may not agree with them all, I rather enjoy your posts. At no time, however, did it ever enter my mind to seek you out in world and yell at you...lol. I think I'm going to resurrect my "Mute the World" motto for the people who should be wearing signs (as in "Here's Your Sign.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other online community respects that, this one should too. That said, there has been no personal dispute or disagreement. That would require the situation be personal. This was harassment over a non-personal forum post. Every other online forum? Not the ones I have used. I have played many mmrpg's over the years from Asheron's call, EQ, WoW & LOTRO and every one of them have had **bleep** talkers that post on forums that carry over in world! I dont think there are any rules that anyone follows. Especially player vs player, that stuff can get nasty! Respect and gaming does not go hand in hand, at least in my experience. Which is too bad because sometimes it makes it hard to even want to play. Which is one reason I solo in MMORPGs. *Grins* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the whining so much as the way of contact when there are measures to privately IM someone here in the forum. I am a private person in world and wouldn't like the forum to spill over there unless I said "please feel free to contact me in world" for such and such reason. I have only contacted someone from the forums inworld once...and that was to compliment her on her excellent posts. We carried on a short conversation and that was it. She seemed ok with it and I apologized for disturbing her in the first place. I would also be ok, I think, if someone contacted me to express an opinion on something I did. I think that if I didn't like it, I would respectfully tell them so and then stop talking. That's just me though...I don't think I would contact someone to tell them that I didn't like what was said here. ..although, thre are people who are on my sh*t list....:matte-motes-sunglasses-3: I wonder .... the blocking another user option is for on the forums..... when you find it, Malanya, please tell me how to do it....PLEASE!!! :matte-motes-sunglasses-3: The block user function on these forums don't work the same as they did in the old forums. In these forums all the block function does is to block someone from PMing another here; same as mute inworld. Now the old forum block function made the blocked person's posts invisible. I really miss that function...lol. In fact, in the olden days, if Person A quoted Person B and Person C had Person B blocked - Person C sometimes got irritated with Person A.

ImaTest1488314069 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Gadget Portal wrote: Wow, did this whole thing escalate out of control. I just wanted to discuss the validity of taking a random (not personal or directed or 'looking for') post quoting an Internet meme and bringing it in-world. As far as that topic of general contact inworld about forum stuff goes it seems to be more of a personal thing. Some say it's an unwritten rule. But those some only have their experience(s) to go by. I have experiences that say otherwise. It's clear other people do as well. I won't say either one of us is wrong. What I will say is that if you want contact to be on only one medium, you need to do whatever it is you feel necessary to assist others in knowing that. What I mean is no one can read your mind. No one knows if you want all contact to/from/about the forums to remain here. You have to tell them that. You may believe it's the "norm" or "typical" or, whatever, but others may have a differing opinion. On something that really just boils down to personal preference, you cannot expect others to know your preference without any assistance from you. I have participated in online forums, sites, games and whatever else have you probably as long as many others here. While I agree that in some places the forums, boards, groups, associated with them are treated as a totally different entity, this is not the case everywhere. It's not a matter of breaking netiquette. It's not a matter of disrespect. It's not a matter of bad form. None of these things apply when it comes to personal preferences, like this. There is no right or wrong answer. I'm not talking about the particular message received, either, just general contact. You found it bad form to be contacted about forum stuff, inworld. Others might not be bothered at all. I get it all the time from people. If I'm busy, or just don't want to discuss, I just don't answer the IM. For me, it's simple and a non-issue. I can pretty easily ignore things, most days. For you, it might not be a non-issue. You still can't expect people to know this just because, though. I shouldn't have to say this, but, although a reply to Gadget, some yous and whatnot are pretty general as they apply to most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think the forum cartel group is the only group i have never left and never would leave.. i didn't go to the hangout a lot ..but i always liked going in the group chat..it still pops up pretty often when i am in world.. i remember the shopping trips that would be open to everyone in the forums to join and go shopping with the group..and the parties..like the death of the forums party..when the first forums died.. that was a fun party hehehe things like that were a great way for new people to the forums and to sl to get a good look at sl and meet new friends.. i used to crack up when people would call the cartel a griefer group lol..when it is the farthest thing from it..it was open hands to most anyone.. the hangout and the group was always open to anyone that needed help or needed a place to change or didn't know where to go when they first got to sl..as well as just anyone looking to find friends.. i miss a lot of the people in it..and it's always a pleasure to see them pop back in these forums..or see them over on the other side of the street at SLU.. speaking of that..has anyone seen or heard from Chris?i don't think i have seen him pop up in the group in a long long time..that or any forums.. i hope he is doing well..and wish the same for all..
