View User's Journal

And now for something completely different...
...or as different as a damned blog can be, anyway. It started out as a project, it devolved into a chronicling of my misanthropy, rage, and occasional fits of glee. It sounds good, though, and might even make you laugh.

You know how event forums can only be accessed from the main page? Like, to get into the Valentine's forum you had to click on the Cupid banner, to get into the mansions for the Anniversary Balls you have to click the Gambino or Von Helson banner? If you don't do it through that path, you can't get where you need to be.

Why in God's name do we not do this with promotions? The Lifestyle Discussion forum, which is already the disadvantaged lovechild of the Chatterbox and Life Issues, is presently 1/3 Skittles topics. Y'know what's at the top of the forum? A sticky that says "STOP! Skittles topics do NOT belong here!" Instead of trusting people to read or care about the stickies or announcements, how about we just strongarm them into the proper forum like we do for events and cut down on the spam?

:0 Because that makes too much sense.

Icing on the cake? In these threads, people are complaining like mad about it being in the wrong forum, but in every case my report was the first. Clearly, trusting Gaians' better judgment is a lost cause.

Because the general population would still find a way to do the wrong thing.

Because most people would rather b***h about someone else's problems than do anything about it themselves

Dammit, Druki, why do you insist on using your Implacable Vulcan Logic on me?

It's weird, I think in many ways one can only fully appreciate the stupidity of your average Gaian from a user's perspective. Probably because you can't do anything about the stupid, so it's much more permanent and annoying, but still. gonk

Just shooting down your hopes of humanity over the internet before they get too high. I figure that you'll be less disappointed in the majority of situations this way.

Regaining the perspective of both sides does wonders, I'd imagine. Even more so since the last time you had both views of the forums this well was when they were exponentially smarter/more mature/more responsible on a whole.
