Rating someone who doesnt even have the nuts to post who they really are up, especially when they are blatently inticing a flame war, is immediate grounds for being attacked. No one has to agree wiht me, but I will hold my ground on this
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attempt? Yes. Succeeded attempt? Nope.
You know how many "HNM" LS are out there that no one knows about? Or worse, do you know how many there are that no one *cares* about? The fact that this guy knows who AND what Wasp is shows you that 1) Wasp is getting a name for itself and 2) This guy is scared/jealous of it. Publicity is good, sometimes even if it's negative.
ITs not the content (I dont know if Wasp is a good LS or not), its the principle that gets me. Being a Veteran poster here, I suppose i get tired of this type of crap easier then others, and might act out of sorts (though im not sure i did, just a theory). Bad publicity is not always good, but your right it was pouiblicity.

Now I could be wrong, but I thought the guy only inferred to Wasp being the worst HNMLS? I have yet to see him say anything else. And considering that no one here has yet to agree with him, I'd say it was a horribly failed attempt at attacking Wasp. Therefore the only flames I see are coming from you ;)
Yes, I flamed him/her for being too checken **** to post who they were. Again the content of the post doesnt matter. If the post was "Worst player on shiva" and the 3 choices were
Acepod
Acepod
Acepod
I still wouldnt be upset by the content, and I would have done the exact same thing as I did here. Call the person out for being to scared to show face. In RL, someone says crap to me, i can kick their face in, but in a game, we have to hold a higher lvl of accountability. The community as a whole "Should" stand up for this accountability. Even if i hated Wasp, I would still have said the same thing.

Rateings are good for one thing. Getting rid of garbage. Had the OP been rated appropriatly, thgis post would be sub default, and we (or I if you wish) wouldnt have to see it. Everyone is entitles to their opinion, but blatent annonymous flameing is obnoxious.
I dont know why you werent on the list. I would assume it goes by a time frame, and maybe you were out of it?

Send a sock to sub-default, they start another sock. Allow a sock to remain above sub-default, they keep talking. The more they talk, the easier it is to track them. Case in point (no offense intended), is Jae. Had he said what his piece and left, no one would have found that it was *his* sock going after Kramer.
Thats an interesting view on it. I suppose your idea there has some potential, but this sick isnt talking, and IMHO should go away (which the community as a whole obviously doesnt agree with me since the socks rateing is still the same).

Maybe, but i would bet Proroc hit the nail on the head with the sock account thing. And anyone worth anything, would have posted that they agree without hiding behind annomity (i cant decide what form of annonymous should be used here ><).

So what you're saying is that you're mad at the guy's sock for trying to start a flame thread...but you're even more mad at people who rated him up? Let's take a look at this...
Not exactly, but im looking at next paragraph one sec...
Quote:
Yes, maybe they rated him up because they agreed with him. Or, maybe they rated him up because other people were "anonymously" rating him down? But for whatever reason they did it, one thing certain: had they posted their point of view--no matter how valid--they would have been attacked on a personal level.
This is kind of my point. I hold the allakhazam shiva server community to a very high standard. We have extinguished socks, trolls, we have outed the cheaters, and made the worst of the worst players leave. Even if you agree with the OP, it's a shame the way the OP didnt tell us who he/she is/was. IMHO this community should stand against those hiding behind a computer screen, and not allow them to make empty threats/opinions. Its useless. But thats just my opinion, and no one else has to agree.

It wouldn't be just you attacking them either. It would potentially by every member of Wasp that comes on here, their friends, and even some non-members. And all of that because they chose to agree with a "sock" who inferred something bad about Wasp.
To me, that's more likely to start a flame thread than a silly sock puppet who started a thread that no one cares to agree with.
I guess thats just me. If i thought Wasp was the worst HNMLS, i would come right out and say it (though i certainly wouldnt start a thread about it, as that childish and unneccesary).
