Frankly, it doesn't help the image that Flame Wars does in fact give to the site. That image almost certainly does cost the site some money (how much I just as certainly have no idea), and I'm pretty sure that is largely the logic that was used in the decision. Many parents wouldn't feel comfortable with allowing their children to frequent a site that included such a forum. Many of those same parents would certainly be willing to pay $25 for a year's entertainment for their child.
I would agree with this reason, and I would be fine with it, except that the comfortability of parents is as much affected by in-game chat and the use of foul language in threads other than the Flame Wars forum. I guess that is the crux of my issue - I'm all for making this a family-friendly site. But, there are many, many players that will continue to use foul language in places other than Flame Wars. So, eliminating Flame Wars does not eliminate the problem, in my opinion.
No worries about the other stuff...

Yes, foul language can still be found everywhere on this site, but Flame Wars was the one place where you were guaranteed to find it. It's not unreasonable that it was first to go. Personally I would have rather seen a change in the liberal stance on game chat, but if this is supposed to be the first step in making CC a friendlier place, I'm sure we'll see that happen one day.
ronc8649 wrote:my point woodruff, was that you had a problem with me outside of that game. you left me ratings for the problem you had with me.
ronc8649 wrote:i will not be baited into saying what the problem was, or is. fact is, you gave me ratings on something outside of game play. and left tags that made no sense.
ronc8649 wrote:my point was, since you missed it. that if flame wars was still around, you wouldnt have had to hurt part of cc's system like you did. instead, you could have made a thread or post in flame wars.
ronc8649 wrote:this will be my last post in this thread. all i hear is hyprocritical bullshit in here by the same tired people, with the same tired arguments.
ronc8649 wrote:what i hear is "cc is better off without it". then i look at my ratings, and the same people who argue for cc's success are throwing a knife in the back of it in other ways.

You missed a zero, I've fixed that for you.

The transporter experienced a temporary malfunction. I repaired it. Unfortunately Ronc was not reassembled properly and was put together with his head in a dark place. We are working on a fix.

ronc8649 wrote:woodruff. i cant keep quoting you cuz it would be too long of a thread.
but if that was your point? then why have you not changed what you tagged me as? have you not looked at the game?
ronc8649 wrote:so, when i say i dont believe you. it is because i dont. bones2484 is the same way. a bunch of you guys are all about rating people according to forum nonsense.
ronc8649 wrote:and another reason i dont believe you woodruff is because you slammed me personally in a thread before that game took place. then after the game, came the rating.
ronc8649 wrote:you are allowed to change your rating. but i bet you already knew that.
ronc8649 wrote:IN FACT WOODRUFF. look at my wall. you even abuse the wall system here on cc? your logic makes no sense man.

They have medication for your inability to concentrate for slightly longer amounts of time. You should check that out.

FW is alive and well, just renamed.

What desires? I haven't stated anything of the like, other than you considering the possibility that you need to take a step off your high horse to actually listen to logic (which Spock would approve of, suprisingly enough).Woodruff wrote:n00blet wrote:Note the flames within your arguments about how good it is that FW is gone.

Hmmm...you call me a fool, and that's ok. I suggest a way that you can assist with a problem that you admit you're experiencing and you want to claim it's a flame? I was simply pointing out that if you don't have the ability to concentrate long enough to read the posts (which you admit), then there is medication for that problem. No flame. However, you are certainly calling me a name.
I know you're trying REALLY HARD to justify your desires, but this desperation on your part really is just making you look bad, rather than giving the impression that you have a real point.
