rude people on this forum, anyone else having a problem?

[kiti_in_wonderland]

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this, I know it's not AC related so hence why I've posted it here, but please feel free to move it if it's not.

I have just joined this site not to long ago, I have to say I've met some really cool people on here and have always had a great experience with everyone I have traded with, but recently have seen/received a lot of rudeness and was considering leaving.

I was wondering if anyone else had gone through that, or has been on here long enough to say it's easier to dis regard it :l I've seen people be rude and mean to other people due to simple jealousy of them obtaining items them haven't I've seen people be rude to those who admit to hacking (and not contributing hacked items to this game) just because they can't hack, and I've had people be rude to me when I try to join a discussion, simply because my responses aren't good enough.

I'm still new to forums, I do make mistakes, but lately I have seen so many people think it's okay to talk down to people who are newer on here, or expect them to know everything just because someone else does. I also dislike seeing people who think having x amount of collectables, tbt, and join date that's over a year old gives them the excuse to talk down to newcomers.

Is this something that happens on every forum (as this is the first forum I've ever joined really)? I've never been rude to anyone before but now I'm finding myself snapping and getting tired of it now. As I said, I think a lot of people on here are nice and friendly, but the recent attitudes some people have been displaying are making me think about closing my account :l

This happens on every forum. You shouldn't care to much about the people negatively reacting towards you, they either are too young and don't know what they're talking about or aren't very smart and don't know what they're talking about.
From my experience BTF is one of the most positive forums out there, and I'm not only talking about AC forums. If I should say how many negative experiences I've had with people on this forum than that would be a very low number. But as I said, It's just about who you run into, just enjoy the forum and all the people that you can go along well.

I guess I'm still adapting to being on forums and what to expect :l I have seen a lot, way more nicer positive people on here than negative ones. But I think it's more, everyone has their bad days, so I come on here to just discuss things and then when someone is automatically rude it's hard not to snap anymore >.<

That, and seeing recently how people group hackers as cheaters bothers me so much, mainly because I hack on a second game, but work very hard on my other non hacked game. But I think I will try my best to ignore it, thank you for that!

ehhhh... i'd agree with kiti on this one. ive been on a couple other forums and seems to me like people on there are somewhat more nice to people on there. for some reason, any time a debate arises on here, people who disagree feel like its become personal or something and try to attack people from the other group.

of course, there are really really awesome people, anyone i've ever messaged or anyone who's ever messaged has been super nice and completely amazing, but some people on here really do act like they're better, either because they're older or have spent more time on this forum.

its kind of annoying, but i cant change it and i really like all the people who dont, so i try to ignore it.

 

[tokkio]

yikes people who look down on others just bc they joined earlier or have lots of BTB and collectibles are kinda ehh... so just ignore them really, or just avoid getting in contact with them..? but yeah there are lots of other good people here too, and i can say there are way more good people than bad soooo yeah just don't mind them much hahah

yup yup! i used to hack on my game while i wasn't on belltree, just to move a couple pwp's and houses around, and although i've stated that i don't and didn't use hacking to obtain items, sometimes people just assume i have and try to argue about it, even though everything i have in the game is from buying it off of other players on reddit, tumblr, etc. or waiting until it appeared in my game and using my hard earned beetle catching money to purchase it.

I think with any forum you sign up on you're gonna run into some bad eggs. Not everyone is gonna be terrible (like you've pointed out), but I can agree that some of the users here are extremely rude and it's uncalled for. That sorta negativity is bred on the internet, so I am not sure there's anything you can do but ignore it...but know for every 1 buttwipe, there are like 10 good people to follow.

Can you quote/give an example of it? Most of the time people say something's rude but when you actually see it they're just way too sensitive. And to be fair, hackers who push their supply into the "economy" are "cheating", which is probably what they were referring to, because they make in game bells even more useless than they are now.

 

[Horus]

Why does everyone one think they can close an account? There is literally no website that lets you do that

I agree 100%. It's way to easy to misunderstand someone's real meaning in a real world conversation let alone one held completely with text with the participants behind a screen.

 

[kiti_in_wonderland]

Well, today I've just had it, it came in 3's D:

I don't want to post links to anything with usernames but earlier I see someone saying you have to be "stupid" to even want the next AC game, which I thought was a bit uncalled for. Then I see someone be rude over an auction simply because they lost, and that was recent. And finally, someone being harsh on me simply because I tried to join in discussion and forgot to supply my evidence -_- Meanwhile I was just happy I could finally contribute something (since usually I'm not to knowledgable about stuff going on now), and just snapped at the attitude I was getting for it.

I don't think anyone is stupid, but I do think they're a lot of stupid attitudes, or pointless ones sometimes >.< At the end of the day AC is just a game, and people get so worked up over this. If you say the wrong thing you either have the nice person to correct you - or the rude person who beats them to it and is just unforgiving -_-

You can put certain users on your ignore list if they truly are being jerks. You could also try to report them to mods.

It happens on every forum. It's pathetic for sure but it happens. Most of the time these people have issues and try to feel better about themselves by having an older join date or whatever else. It's sad so I wouldn't pay them any mind. Easier said than done though.

 

[kiti_in_wonderland]

"is dis game for special kind of people that have a low IQ"


"Are you an idiot, or are you just new to auctions?"

"Give an update when you have something worthwhile to contribute thanks"

these are the 3 I've dealt with today, from 3 different threads. I don't know, to me some were uncalled for and the last one seemed rude. Maybe I'm being sensitive or maybe it is just people being rude and me thinking enough is enough, idk D:

The last one is what I snapped on, just because well....I get I'm a newcomer and may not know as much as a "older player" but it just seemed rude. I feel like they're a nicer ways to say things, and it wasn't even their post I was talking on anyway >.<

I'm not spreading lies, and I didn't say anything about Twitter, that's not where I have gotten my information from. As I've said, amazon pre-orders are wrong half the time, so don't be an idiot and get snappy with me just because I was trying to help a bit, like everyone else was.

I actually had the article on my phone, as it was sent to me. I posted on here as I read it as I remembered seeing this post and though I could help answer something that people were unsure of. My god, you try to help and discuss something you've read and all you get is people being rude , because clearly that's worth contributing, your attitude.

What is this, I mean really. Everyone seems to state things, the second I write about something I've read to try and help and give some light as to why it might say a pre order is so much, I have you - either an adult who acts like a child or a child - being incredibly rude to me.

I didn't post on here "it's free you're all stupid for going on amazon". I didn't insult a single person with my remark, so there is no need for this. I mean who are you? Just some person on the internet. I will gladly discuss what I've read and from where to anyone who is polite and wants to get into more detail about that, I read it, posted excitedly thinking I could contribute to this, and in return you're just being rude.

You're being extremely rude on someone else's post. You were willing to bid just as much, it's an auction people bid what they want. If they really wanted Stitches then it's no waste.

And I'm pretty sure you could be temporarily banned or at least given a good warning for this kind of behaviour. I really hope one of the mods sees this and does something about it.

Maybe this will provide a little perspective. I mean I'm not calling you a hypocrite, but you need to realise where some, if not a lot of the rudeness actually comes from.

Rudeness is everywhere, but these are some points to keep in mind when you come across it:

Like what everyone said, rudeness is natural, but still unacceptable. If you want to know something, there was a fallout since the TBT fair ended. People have been unusually rude from late January to April. I want to know why some seasons people are meaner than in other seasons. It wasn't like that in the first four months of my membership here.

You were rude first! I'd like you to post my original message and see if anyone else finds it offensive simply because I gave some information! You are pestering me now, you talked down to me yes of course I'm not putting up with that crap! and if you want to comment on my post just to create drama and act like you didn't come off with an attitude I'm reporting it.

You came off with a freakin attitude, I'm not putting up with it. Simple. I was trying to be nice, and there was no reason to be rude. You didn't even post what I wrote originally, which wasn't in any way insulting!

that should answer the question. it is free to download, however any prices you see may be including figures etc.
Where is it confirmed?

" No it does not answer anyone's questions as you haven't actually shown any evidence of confirmation.

Give an update when you have something worthwhile to contribute thanks"

I didn't think what I posted was going to get someone upset. But no, I'm not going to let ANYONE speak to me as if what I posted was just a waste. You don't know any more then I do to be talking to people like that.

Whoa whoa whoa! Just stop it. If someone is trying to be helpful, but has been rude before, please don't get this snappy. Murray is quite a helpful member on this site. He has a point.

 

[kiti_in_wonderland]

I don't even care how helpful they have been, there were better ways to word it. I have never been rude to anyone prior, and my original post was in no way rude to anyone, but I'm sorry I'm not letting anyone talk down to me just because they can. If someone comes across as a jerk I'm going to stand up for myself.

At the end of the day , I don't care who you are, you shouldn't act like someone's information isn't good enough just because they haven't been here as long, or what not. And you can't just be rude and think someone isn't going to stand up and get angry.

And it strays from the first two quotes I put as well, which is in general me tired of seeing people be so rude or talk down to people and think it's okay This is about several incidents not just one. If it was one I could ignore someone like Murray.

You're information not being good enough has nothing to do with you not being here long enough, it's because you didn't provide a source. Feel free to PM me if you want to continue this discussion further.
