this is taken from the guidelines of cc.


Flaming: Will not be tolerated. CC has a flame wars forum, that's where flames go, no exceptions.




DO WE HAVE A FORUM? OR NOT?

When you are angry with someone now, you have to stalk their games and leave nasty comments for them in Game Chat of games that you aren't even playing.

It all makes a lot of sense.

Flame Wars just gave people a forum to argue and call each other names and everyone else could watch and read and have a good laugh or not and now that evil forum is gone thank goodness I am so tired but I want to flame someone please help me.

prowler. you are saying the same thing i have been saying.

there used to be an excuse to tell people to leave a certain forum, and go to flame wars to flame.

now it will just happen everywhere.

night strike told me that the new admin wanted a "family friendly" environment. he also claims he doesnt mind all the extra work that will be involved now that there is no flame wars.

i wonder if lack will mind not seeing my 25 dollars. i doubt it, but in the end, that 25 dollars multiplied by 10 years, or however long i would have kept paying would be 250. now take that 250, and multiply that with other people that feel the same way i do.

as if taking down flame wars will bring more people to the site????????????????????????????????????

it is right there in the forum. not for the easily offended. and the easily offended stayed out of there. like i stayed out of gd, and m a a n.

whatever admin, and mods....................now that is isnt an april fools joke like you all said. what is your response now???????????????? or are you guys not going to give one?

and furthermore, i feel offended that you guys took down a forum with no explanation at all!

NONE, ZERO, ZILCH.

hilarious. i have an idea guys. lets cater to all the freemies, and multis now.

go back and look at flame wars. the people who posted there were 90 percent preemies, and overall good people.

everyone in flame wars got along........in our own way. i respected most people in there, and had fun bashing them. now it is gone, my respect for this site has gone with it.

Don't be silly. Why would anyone expalin anything to you. it's not like you and many others are actually paying to be here is it.

A bit like the tool that works, but doesn't work, but does work and is not used we are given cryptic messages and no real explanations.

Get used to it, this is the level of service this site gives, and it has got no better with the new super duper managing team....in fact I would hazard it has got worse.

I really can't see you getting much support in this, fm was not loved by many and few will be bothered by its demise. It's a shame that you feel you cannot continue on CC but I think you
are mistaken if you think that Lack will lose money as a result of the decision. In fact the opposite is far more likely as plenty of parents would be wary of letting their kids loose on a forum, that in part, had no boundaries.

make it 18 and over.............not hard to fix. i dont want to roast juveniles anyways.

but to give no explanation is ridiculous. fruitcake and i agree on nothing. except this.

how do you give no explanation at all?

and parents will tell their kids to be happy with the 4 games they have, and that is that. no premium.

i dont hear anyone overjoyed with its demise? or probable demise.

cc is hilarious to me. i got warned by night strike about flaming the new admin in a forum. there was no cursing, no nothing. just pissed about my forum being gone. and still no explanation of why it is gone?

no shit guys, this is the thread that night strike wanted to give me a forum ban for?????????????


this is the pm from him:



Disciplinary Measures

Sent: April 3rd, 2009, 12:51 am
From: Night Strike
To: ronc8649
Hello ronc8649,

You have received a formal disciplinary warning.

Issued by: Night Strike

Comment:

Last time I checked, Must Ado About Nothing was not a place to post your flames, or encourage others to post theirs. I was planning on giving you a short vacation since you obviously posted this fully aware of the rules of the site, but I was talked out of it. I won't be giving you another chance though.

Regards,
The Conquer Club

funny nightstrike......................in the rules it states to flame in flame wars. but since it is no longer there? i take it that the rules are void and null.

next time you want to threaten someone with a ban regarding your rules. make sure you know the rules

I do not understand what you are talking about unless you missed my obvious point completely.

Let me put it in words of not more than two syllables so you can understand.....my point was about the lack of service.

You know I felt the same way when Classic went and took a pretty long break but now im back and enjoying the site again....even playing a few games on art :D
At the end of the day this is by far the best place to play so you need to put the loss of fw behind you and enjoy what is left.

Classic Art is not soo bad, but I know CC lost many people over the classic map. No clue what it did on the business end, but could not have been good.

If you people really can't live without flame wars, then you have no life and need to actually leave the computer.

Anger management classes might help too.

Hmm apparently some people are confused as to what you pay for on this site... :-k

"In return for your support, Premium Membership earns you the following benefits:

* Play UNLIMITED simultaneous games
* Play thrilling real-time SPEED games
* Create password-protected PRIVATE games (which Free members may join, too)
* Have a GOLDEN rank icon display next to your name"



I guess I was under the impression that the forums and things like Live Chat were bonuses that the site offered, and that the members should be grateful they are even here, since they are not included in their premium membership. (a reason why the privileges to access these parts of the site can be taken away if abused)

Be happy you have a forum at all? :-s

If removing Flame Wars convinces even one racist troll to leave for good, it will have been worth it.

Goodbye Ron. I would say you'll be missed, but that would be a lie.

If you're telling people to get a life for telling people to get a life while being at a computer, get a life.


And I should get a life myself.
But not one of those cheap ones from Wal-Mart.

i had never really thought of it that way... interesting... perhaps they could get their own off site forum like others have, for the singular purpose of flaming each other... we don't pay for the forums in our membership fees (and premium is not required to use the forums), so if you really miss/need it, why not pay for your own off-site forum? seems simple enough, at least until some sort of official announcement is made by the big robot or twill lite...-0

Troll? Maybe.

Racist? Not a chance.

Ron does let his mouth run way ahead of his brain and filter free to boot. So get off the band wagon Timminz, you're not impressing anyone, except maybe the other reactionary do-gooders also hitching a ride on the 'bleat-that-Ron-is-a-racist' band wagon.

We can all be happy that way :)

guess what, i already suggested that! all you need to do is set up your own off site forum like other members have done and continue to do. the Bandits have our own off-site forum, pile of awesome is still going strong, and there are many other examples. all you need to do is pull together and get it going. why not have ron and/or artimis set it up? sounds logical... OR why not set up a USER GROUP IN THE CREATE CLANS SECTION OF THE FORUMS?!!!! a thread, 9 members, and an e-ticket gets you a private forum. that option is free and seems an easy route.
Artimis wrote:Racist? Not a chance.

funny... i can point out a pretty good example, but would be banned for it... and i have decided to let bygones be bygones. even the racist ones...

all i know is, going about and flaming in other parts of the forum, and leaving veiled threats in bumped threads with polls that have under 100 votes as a show of some sort of majority consensus, is not going to help. perhaps you should engage the admins/mods in a constructive dialogue about the matter, to see what is going on, and to understand if FW's is truly gone. sucks to lose a portion of the forums, but again, we don't pay for the forums. they are a gift from the great turtle above, and we should be thankful for them...-0

p.s.-9 members... one thread... one e-ticket... your own private forum... hint, hint...

I'm sure if you googled, you'd probably find sites out there just for flaming. Why not join one of them?
