On persistent social toxicity in this forum

[Slashley]

-- I still stand by what I said. --

The problem is though... you haven't really said anything. Not a single argument.

At the moment, you're trying to be a mythical savior with a mythical solution to a mythical monster that you've slain. And you demand to be applauded as the hero who has saved us all!!!

I'll be far more inclined to believe you when you start explaining where, why and what. Until then... well. I'll just keep spreading my misinformation because I won't have access to anything more correct.

1- Stop advicing on content you cant clear/struggle, that just spreads the missinfo further and increases the bad reputation hbc already has in terms of kh ignorance.

So hbc already has a bad reputation, and yet you're still here...
And instead of pointing out the missinfo, you'd rather just claim that it's wrong without pointing out what is wrong...?

I find this quite odd.

This is why I have yet to register for these forums. There's a strong sense of negative bias towards certain users maybe because something they've said once that triggered the other or something, I wouldn't know.

I know right.
That BakaHentai episode tends to come up constantly.

Relying on debuffs on wrag when wrag is more about team composition (having dakki) and grid, saying that baalU isnt good even tho top dmm players use her in every thunder team, basing all your arguments on the def/atk debuff cap, when plenty of top tier teams dont even care if they have atk down or not (some even lack the 50% def down until herc bursts), just to name a few, all of this above is missinfo coming from you.

[Slashley]

I have said all of that, yes.

By the way, define "top tier teams"? Because if we're talking about something like Japanese whales who have 70k base atk, yeah, they probably don't need to care. But is that something that any regular user needs to care about?

You can pretend you don't know how to read and simply ignore my suggestions to said thread, also the latter responses should fill the pot for you.

As for your last statement it just shows how salty you are at the moment, I wasn't the one making the new thread or asking for acceptance in the forums, I'm not playing God with my preset unsatisfactory answers just to be this savior you two tend to depict, now two other users have pointed out about your missinformed answers and yet you're saying you'll continue with it, if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything and that goes to us both, or haven't you learned anything at all this whole time?

Or maybe your precious ego or need for attention is enough of an excuse to hinder unaware players.

Talk when you have the knowledge to do so, talk when you are able to clear that content* on your own and understand the mechanics rather than going with something counter productive, talk when you ARE sure of what you're speaking of.

Also don't correct people that give good advice over a topic you don't understand.

This doesn't come at all in relation with the thread nor gives an actual response from you.
Also quick reminder; "whales" are the ones who keep the game alive, you don't need to be a whale to have a bunch of SSR'S and or satisfactory teams, it doesn't come to skill either, just luck.

Now I am just confused. Please quote me the suggestions, either here or the Rag Wind Disaster thread.

Because so far, all I see is this:

Relying on debuffs on wrag when wrag is more about team composition (having dakki) and grid, saying that baalU isnt good even tho top dmm players use her in every thunder team, basing all your arguments on the def/atk debuff cap, when plenty of top tier teams dont even care if they have atk down or not (some even lack the 50% def down until herc bursts), just to name a few, all of this above is missinfo coming from you.

And here, we at least have "What." Now, I just need "Why."

Affar from what you quoted:

Man, having a nice discussion with everything putting opinions on the table is hard nowadays, huh...

Try to be nice to everyone, no matter how stupid or non-sensical their argument might be...

[sanahtlig]

I agree with others that we need to make users accountable for what they say by disabling unregistered posting. Any long-term fix needs to start with that. That should be enough of an impediment to discourage casual trolling. Obviously most unregistered users don't cause a problem, but we should prioritize fostering a sense of community over simple ease of access.

I guess I'll message this kotono and see what our options are. But he may very well not even check these forums, in which case we'll need to find some other liaison.

This discussion branches off from here.

I've noticed over the past few weeks that name-calling, disrespect, and social aggression have creeped into discussions on this forum, both from registered and unregistered users. This board is mostly unmoderated, and without an arbitrator these disputes have continued to grow in frequency and severity.

My goals for this discussion are the following:
Characterize the problem
Identify the scope of the problem: How severe/prevalent is the problem?
Determine the urgency of the problem: How quickly and aggressively do we need to act?
Identify coping mechanisms to mitigate the problem: i.e., providing guidelines and counseling individuals who have been involved in these disputes
Identify long-term solutions: This may require technical and organizational changes like disabling posting by unregistered users. Technical limitations with the forum software or settings could make a long-term solution difficult or impossible without aggressive measures such as shifting the community elsewhere.

That should get the discussion started. I'll update this post as necessary based on feedback.

The fastest and most effecient way to get rid of toxicity and trolling is to simply remove the babies from the equation. The internet is a toxic place all on it's own. It doesn't matter where you go, toxicity will always be there. That's just how people are. Crying, and being loud about toxicity does nothing but paint you as a target and gives the trolls something fun to do.
