Rudeness to others

Archive: 108 posts

Sorry to post this here now but i didn't know where else to put this. I couldn't find any threads similar to this subject even though I know there's some out there somewhere! lol

Right...im not usually someone who would complain or bring something up im not happy with as i usually ignore bad situations and get involved with good ones.

I have noticed something that has been quit upsetting and I wanted to mention it to make you all aware.(You probably are all aware)
As we all know there are some younger members on this site and some who havent got as much knowledge as some of us have.

I have seen some members getting rude comments aimed at them just because of the way they speak or the way they are.
I think this is wrong, I feel sorry for them. Yes I know some people can be annoying on purpose but there are some who don't know they are doing wrong and dont mean to be the way they are.
There's no need to moan at them or to post a sarcastic comment. Its not nice. And ive seen it a lot and it makes me feel uncomfortable because I feel the need to jump in and say "woah woah, be nice".

Why cant people just explain things in a nice manor. Doesn't hurt does it. Its better then being rude, I can see people getting annoyed or hurt on here because of it.

I don't like seeing people talk down to people that's all. And I hope the majority of you agree. Its not just the younger members, its a mixture of ages ive seen doing it.

Please be nice! This had to be said. I tend to feel sorry for people quite easily lol

And please dont get annoyed at me for speaking my mind, i dont do it often.

If i have made a mistake starting this thread, let me know.

Thank you for reading 		2010-05-20 12:27:00

I'm with you to a certain extent, for example people getting their grammar and spelling corrected has never sat well with me, neither has naming and shaming. I find it quite upsetting seeing people getting singled out and discussed, no matter what they've supposedly done. I actually stopped coming here at one point, for that very reason. It was Witch Hunt Central a few months ago!

That said, I think there's such a think as being too nice. Nobody wants to read a load of false sentiment and brown nosing. It just sounds phony and to be honest makes it difficult for me to believe a single word anyone says.

Besides, some people deserve to be bought down a peg or two, it stops them running riot! I doubt they'll lose any sleep over it. 		2010-05-20 13:09:00

Pro tip #1: Use smilies after sentences you write that may be misconstrued in a manner that seems sarcastic or cutting in some way.

Tone is by far the most difficult thing to discern for a bunch of strangers who chat about random topics on the interwebs.

Pro tip #2: Has someone written a post quoting you and then proceeded to disagree with everything you wrote? Does it make you really, really angry? Well, kill them with kindness! Use the "thanks" button on their reply. You'll let them know you appreciate their response. Then, funnel your frustration into a positive, well-thought rebuttal. 		2010-05-20 17:31:00

Well, as I quite agree with your post one could not stop human nature to try and prevent others to try and make themselves appear better or superior. This is mostly down to the fact that they are partly anonymous and no one may not know them so they might believe that they can act what ever behavior they please.

But yes, if you're not going to acknowledge the fact there are people on this forum that do not wish to view offensive posts maybe you should re-think your attitude.		2010-05-20 17:46:00

Yeah, I agree with FlameAtNight.. human nature is a tricky beast to tame and anonymity allows people a certain freedom of speech that they may not apply (enjoy?) in their everyday lives. However, just keep being the change, Tia, and don't be afraid to kindly (and maybe privately where possible) point out to those you see mistreating others that it makes you sad and uncomfortable, and it really isn't necessary.

There have been threads like this before, and there will again, but thanks for the reminder We all have to just keep trying. I like to think there are more of us who try to do the right thing than those who sew discord.		2010-05-20 22:58:00

Sometimes, I do feel like acting like that to some people... being mean to them I mean... usually I just, well, ignore them D: :kz: And thus not insult them :/

Although I do agree about the concept of being "too nice"... I unno, it just seems sometimes we just are TOO nice to people, even after they do stuff, I unno.

I guess the best bet would be to use the report post button in the bottom left of posts (does seem too small and hidden... maybe make it bigger and more obvious?) for any post that appears to be insulting to other people, then the mods will take care of it. Might take a while since there are only three of them... think they ever get overworked? D:

Anyway, yep, I guess just report posts you feel are insulting. As for getting people to not insult people... welll, I unno.		2010-05-20 23:07:00

"Too nice" is something i see very often around. (No offence to the nice people )

The problem is that sometimes its difficult to know who are the non-intentionally "bad"(per say) and who are the idiots going around trolling.

Yes i admit i may go over the line once in a while myself, but its just i see soo much people like that around pretty much any forum i go, some seem to think its right or funny to be that way...
And in my eyes i don't see it asd "Oh he's saying something wrong/baad, oh but he doesn't know it so its ok " i see it rather like "Oh he's doing something wrong, better make sure he knows that's wrong/bad so he doesn't keep doing it"
You get what i mean?		2010-05-20 23:31:00

I think the way people react to a dark attitude in others is very telling, and am allways impressed when I see someone able to gracefully defuse an aggressive poster. I'm also Impressed when I see someone clearly angry, but willing to be defused.
I wish I had those qualities, So I'm really glad to have threads like this around to remind me to check my 'tude once in a while.

One of the coolest things about this community is that most of the members seem to strive to get along. On alot of forums it seems like the members search the posts looking for somthing to get miffed about.		2010-05-21 10:26:00

Maybe I'm one of those people that always sounds rude.
I've got the bad habit of being honest even here on the internet and to say what I think, even if not being of English language often leads me to "word myself" badly.
And I've been even called troll sometimes, but I'm so stubborn and so woodheaded that I can't really get the habit of keeping quiet about some stuff, or avoid to say something that is fine in my Country and not in yours...
So, in a way or another, Fender think that sometimes differences of languages and habits may cause some ripples in an international community.

In another forum once I referred to Japanese as "Japs", since it's similar to the word "Giappi", that in Italy we use with a sense of love towards Japanese people.
Well, a Japanese guy told me that "Japs" is really bad towards them in English, so foreign people may not know that a word has a different approach in vocabulary and real life.		2010-05-21 11:58:00

Wow, how did I not see this before?

Personally I think LBPC is a really friendly site, though i've never been to any other forums so I can't compare. But yes, I too have seen this sort of behaviour. Hell I've behaved this way myself before, posting a really sarcastic comment, luckily my conscience got the better of me and I had to go edit my post. I still feel bad about though, especially as it was towards a relatively new member.

Unforunately it's just the nature of the internet that allows us to say whatever we darn well feel like towards others without any serious consequences and without having to care two hoots. We all just need to remember that everyone's a real person with real feelings. I guess all I'm tying to say really is to just think before you post, words can hurt.

Like I said before LBPC seems pretty darn good to me. Most people are friendly most of the time but that's no excuse not to improve now is it		2010-05-21 12:09:00

Considering it's size and especially the fact that it serves such an enormous age gap, I totally agree with this, although that's partly due to the subject matter. Arty-Fartys have always been a sensitive emotional bunch!

Don't talk to me about the drama though! 		2010-05-21 12:28:00

I forgot to add that if you do ever find yourself acting like this there's nothing stopping you from clicking the wonderful 'EDIT' button. If someone can realise there's mistakes and learn from them i'll always forget about whatever it was that they did and reapect them for making the right decision. On the other hand if someone refuses to learn from their mistakes and continues in their ways, well I pretty much lose all respect for them.

Are you kidding swan?
I'm collecting an insane amount of deleted posts lately
That's the reason why you can't see my unkindness.

I really think that behind a lot of rudeness there's only misundertatement, no one with a brain switches his PC on just to badmouth someone.
One problem is that in a speech between friends, a word that sounds bad vanishes into the air, while on a forum you read and read and read it again and again and you notice it.

Anyway, I have actually now decided to hijack the thread and play the troll, before it gets all warm and fuzzy. 		2010-05-21 12:31:00

AHEM!! Im watching you! lol!

Yeah ive never known you to be unkind.

Most people do realise they have done wrong and sort out the situation in a kind manor rather then being nasty.
But like i said i dont like it when its obvious someone is being sarcastic to someone who is innocent and i see the victim feeling awkward.

Anyway! Thanks to all your replies, ive enjoyed reading peoples different views on this matter.		2010-05-21 13:10:00

Yes… respect, care and consideration to others should be the most important thing to everyone, not just here on LittleBIGPlanet Central… but in life in general.

It is for me, I put others before myself most of the time. It really does frustrate me when people are intensely sarcastic, inconsiderate or rude.

I think that here on LittleBIGPlanet Central it isn’t too much of an issue. The majority of people are really nice.

Remember this site is open to everyone, so anyone can join… even if they are a nasty piece of work.

But also remember that LBPC is what it is because of its community… which is a great one I think, one of the best for sure. Don’t let a few people spoil that.


I used to think the whole world was crazy, with all the bad stuff that happens. But it just seems to be normal to every one else… I am starting to think maybe Im the crazy one.		2010-05-21 13:50:00

I also think that LBPC is a lovely community and I trust most of the people on here.
Heck, I even trust them enough to be friends with them on Facebook!

Aaaanyway, I have seen a few slightly grey areas over the past few months, but it is usually resolved by the kindest and more careful members of this amazing community ^_^

EDIT: And yeah, I'll take a cookie thanks. ^_^ *takes, breaks in half, shares with a depressed friend who I cannot name*		2010-05-23 20:14:00

LBPCentral is a very friendly place, in my opinion. Go on most games forums, even take a look at some of YouTube video comments - you will see some nasty pieces of work who go out of their way to incite a riot. Most of the time it's fine and dandy on here. You do get pockets of unpleasantness around the place - not naming any names - but largely it's a community that loves to share in other peoples' opinions, ideas and talents - and that of course is what LBP is all about.2010-05-25 17:43:00

True, but you could always try surprising us. Nothing like keeping people on their toes.

I think most folks here are pretty helpful and nice. LBP seems to draw in creative people who appreciate the work put into great levels. There are a few around here that like to shake things up, but I keep a baseball bat handy just in case. The others that seem to be a bit that way are usually new members that have drifted over from another community and just haven't figured us out yet. They learn and get better or float away looking for others that share in their hostility.		2010-05-25 18:08:00

Sadly, i have to say that i used to be pretty troll-ish back in the day . But nowadays i think i've reformed a bit.

Anyway, on to what you said, i agree, you shouldn't necessarily judge people like that, but then again, i also think that some kids are a little too immature to be on forums, I've seen some kids who can't handle criticism right. 		2010-05-25 23:18:00

LBPC is friendly at times...but for me its always this issue whenever i run into silverleon....but yeah im not going to go into details ill just shut about that all together right now


point is....doesnt matter if an idea is bad...or if someone is having trouble with the website...or even if they want to argue with you about something....being rude doesnt really do much....it doesnt suddenly make them realize the situation and change their ways...only makes things worse

so i agree with fender...we need a change and it needs to happen ASAP...would hate for LBPC to start crumbling down slowly and when LBP2 comes out there's a flat out war between us

....anyways that all i got

p.s. lol fender idk why but i just went awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww when i read your OP hehe :3		2010-05-26 00:27:00

You can not change people no matter how had you try unfortunately you just have to live with it in real life but on LBPC it's not the same. You can just banned the person who is being rude but that does not solve the problem so no matter what we just have to deal with it and try contain it as hard as we can until it stops i guess............2010-05-26 03:25:00

While I'm firmly against rudeness to other posters, I have to say that I fully support grammar and spelling correction. I think that people who won't take the advice of their peers in order to better themselves are both arrogant and ignorant, and I would expect all members here to either gracefully accept constructive criticism from the community which they made a choice to be a part of, or else hit the road and find somewhere else to post.

Sorry to be so blunt about it, but...		2010-05-26 21:51:00

"Troll" is a word that isn't included in my dictionary. And it never has- or will be.
The poster above me has a point...BUT....
Freedom of choice is something that lots of people here are blessed with. Just because people might criticize, doesn't mean you will follow their advice.
In a way, you need to criticize what the critic says, in order to better yourself and not fall into someone who will follow everything someone says. Despite this, you need to use this freedom to not do stupid things...
For instance, this post is based on rudeness. If people say "don't be rude", it's good advice to follow. And if you're not an absolute troll, you should follow that advice.
I hope this post has done some good.

@Ungreth: I can see what you mean, and I personally like recieving some corrections from time to time, mostly because english is not my mothern language, and hey, every given chance to improve on it it's a blessing. I'm sure there are many others who would agree on me here.
On the other hand, grammar correction tends to be an excuse to simply "attack/nitpick/bother" someone, which normaly leads to animosity in the thread. And that's what most of us don't want.
Lets not forget, though, that grammar isn't ofensive in itself -I actually hope that last sentence made sense- What I'm trying to say it's that bad grammar is only offensive if you want it to be. It sure can bother you, but forums are no language exam, so we have no right to get ****** at someone simply because he decides that hey, comas are not so important.
Still, it's true that people who uses correct grammar and spelling tend to be more respected (let jump_button aside, haha..!) and I'm sure that everybody ends up realizing that, which will result in them trying to write in a more understandable way.

@AlexW618, I always get the feeling that you are actually a kind guy who for some reason (amusement, I'm guessing?) likes to play the "bad guy". I can only invite you to show your true self, and so I do! And hey, regarding your fanbase, but I'm betting that by making such change, raather than decrassing it, you'd augment it!		2010-05-26 22:14:00

Totally. If you're going to correct someone's spelling it should be done in the "erm, dude...I hate to tell you but you've got a spot of mustard on your chin" kind of way and not in the "stupid idiot...can't you learn to eat a hotdog without making a mess?" kind of way. Also, posting purely for the sake of correcting someone's spelling is spam in my view, so if you're going to do it then you should really make it a "BTW" addendum to a post that contributes something constructive to the thread topic.

Also, I don't personally find bad spelling/grammar offensive, but we are by our very nature a community who gather to help each other and to seek feedback from each other, and we share our thoughts through the written word, so I guess it's only natural that some feel compelled to offer advice on communication skills where they see that these might be improved, in much the same way as we would offer advice on level construction where we can see how it might be improved.		2010-05-26 23:05:00

Dude careful, sackboy is ****ing crazy. He'll stab you without a thought.

He's also a death metal fan. Cannibal Corpse are his favourite, even i don't like that ****. I don't dare tell him though...		2010-05-26 23:12:00

I would like to make sure everything is crystal clear... Most of my Sarcasm and Condescending-ness is mean't light heartedly, however there are times when i feel "Ganged up on" when I will resort to patronising aggression, I am not happy with this and I've tried to keep it under lock 'n' key2010-05-26 23:16:00

Personally, It doesn't bother me at all to have a spelling Nazi remind me to press the 'spell check' button. I may not actually do it afterward, but I definitely appreciate the help. I don't even mind if that is all they have to say about my post.


I don't think it's a conspiracy, or a coordinated attack. It's just that public Sarcasm and Condescension tend to generate Multiple responses. I can see how someone would feel ganged up on, though.

I also concur that LBPC is one of, if not THE friendliest forum around. It's filled full of people who seem to get profound pleasure from giving a hand to someone else.


--------Something you rarely see posted on a forum------:
"I don't really like your subject, and have nothing good to say about it, so I figure, 'Why bring everybody down by posting here?' ."

You know alex, that kind of behavior usually means either a young child, an older one with low self steem/ no confidence, or that feels inferior in one or more ways in real life, for either, you don't really have to act all "bad guy" (if you can even call it that) i mean, what does it matter if you act like that if no one from the site knows who you are in real life anyways?
People aren't gonna think "oh hes a tough guy" or "oh he's wimp/wuss" people will probably just think "oh there's some guy on the internet" that's it.

What you could do instead is talk it out with someone, either a friend in real life or someone online, anyone as long as they'll listen as they might be able to help you with any problems you have.

Of course i'm quite sure and predict you'll respond with a "though guy answer" but that's ok, i don't mind, just think about it in real life, it doesn't really matter if you're "bad" on the internet, as you won't be seen as "tough" or "good" or "bad" but as just another guy in the internet.		2010-05-27 09:41:00

Among the many mature, respectful and articulate posters who frequent these forums, I have also seen a few people who get a kick out of making snide, inflammatory or abusive comments to provoke reactions from others. Thing is though, I can't remember any of their names or anything about them. These people have all just blended into a single archetype that lacks any real character of it's own....what is commonly known as a "troll"

The people who really stand out around here, having made a genuine impact on me and I would suspect on LBP Central as a whole. are those posters who made a reputation for themselves by...

1: creating thoughtful threads
2: offering helpful, constructive advice
3: sharing their discoveries and innovations
4: supporting each other through problematic times (YLOD!)
5: showing humour and humility
6: showing real personality instead of acting up to the role of some imaginary net-self

(For definition of "net-self", please refer to Ungreth's ICD-10 of Internet Psychiatry which can be downloaded from my cerebral cortex for a small subscription fee of ?12.99 a month)		2010-05-27 12:12:00

Sometimes, I do feel like acting like that to some people... being mean to them I mean... usually I just, well, ignore them D: :kz: And thus not insult them :/

Although I do agree about the concept of being "too nice"... I unno, it just seems sometimes we just are TOO nice to people, even after they do stuff, I unno.

I guess the best bet would be to use the report post button in the bottom left of posts (does seem too small and hidden... maybe make it bigger and more obvious?) for any post that appears to be insulting to other people, then the mods will take care of it. Might take a while since there are only three of them... think they ever get overworked? D:

Anyway, yep, I guess just report posts you feel are insulting. As for getting people to not insult people... welll, I unno.

Not that many posts get reported to be honest. I normally get an email when a post gets reported because I used to be a mod in some sections (and still am in 2!). However, I don't know if I only get mail from reports in those sections as I haven't seen any for a while. Don't worry by the way. I only use these powers rarely and only if it is requested. 		2010-05-27 13:09:00

That's one of them

Also the level showcase. I used to be a site recorder and had a mod-like title thing saying "Site filmer". I often used it when people couldn't figure out how to add videos to thier threads. Now I use it whenever I stumble across a thread that has a request from the poster to close it, which happened once.

Anyway, back on topic, I can't remember any rudeness since the spam can, which most people here won't remember. It got shut down because it was completely pointless. A few people got angry and ClankIIX(I think that was his name) got banned. He had the most posts and was the most active at the time I think, and only a few people were as active as him, me being one of them.

Those were more fun times on lbpc... I remember all of the old guys now. Noonian, stix, thee flash, creative, 1000101, bbroman, berkleyj, briguy72, big93, burlap sackboy, darth spartan, darkelite105, docpac, don vhalt, drunkmiffy, flakmagnet, forsaken, GuyWithNoEyes, Jack, KapBam, lilpingin, maltay, marino, Mark D. Stroyer, Muttjones, QuozL, Rabid-Coot, RAINFIRE (Best arcade player! xD), Reshin, Sage, Sambo11 (Made lot's of people angry!), ScytheOfGrim, SilverMagics, supersickie, Teh_Bucko, TerrenceJohan, TheArmedReaper and many many more.

Actually, I didn't, so thanks for the head's up.
Then again, terrible people are sometimes un-truthfull, So you might not be terrible after all.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of "bad people".
There's people I dislike, and people who's actions I dislike, but that doesn't accurately speak to their quality.
If I keep that in mind, It's a lot easier to stay cool.		2010-05-27 17:28:00

I don't think he is being a tough guy at all. Correcting grammar/spellings can just be a habit. I can't help it if I see some grammar or spelling mistake in someone's work at school I just have to point it out. They hate it, but it just bugs me when I see these things. It's kind of nerdy too.

Right, I have noticed that Stephanie_Ravens presence is causing an up roar. She is an individual no matter what she does and how she is. I know many people dislike her but we should keep it to ourselves as she will not change because people are going on at her. She will change because she wants to. I mean, the amount of hate mail she's has had by now and hasn't changed shows its not worth wasting your time lol I'm not saying what she does it ok, all im saying is it seems like its causing arguments between other members...

Maybe if you want to say something, private message her? Then no one can eyeball your comments n butt in.

When I see the comments on her page and the arguments between others I feel like writing OI U LOT PACK IT IN!!! lol

As far as I've noticed/know, Stefanie ravens isn't here to be a productive member or whatsoever. She does enjoy causing an up roar here, as she does in cool pages. And yeah, I'm aware that if she wasnt the one causing trouble in the cool pages it would be another person, but that does not mean -by far- that what she does it's morally right, imho.

And she is not only recieving hate messages, but also educated ones asking which reason does she exactly have for acting in such a way, and telling her to please stop. However, if we are to discourage sending her those messages, it isnt because "she is an individual no matter she does". It is because she enjoys getting those messages and probably reads them with a smile painted on her face. It is absolutely useless to send those messages -as you said, fender- so I'd like to encourage people to stop it, not because she (a clear example of a forum troll, imho) deserves much respect, but because it will lead to nowhere.

And yes, I said that I dont feel that people should respect her much (thus I honestly cant blame people who dont), however, I believe that being nice towards somebody who doesnt deserve isn't never a bad thing, and helps to ease the "forum atmosphere", which I'd always recommend.		2010-06-04 15:02:00

Like i said, i dont agree with what she does and im not saying the comments on her profile are stupid. Most of them are correct but it doesnt make a difference, she wont listen. Its just causing other people to argue about it, which is rather pointless.

I should realise that too, but **** you.		2010-06-04 22:01:00

Is it just me, or is the comment above in complete contradiction to the theme of this thread?

Let's take a deep breath and relax. As Fender said,

No, because being rude to Stephanie_Ravens is not being rude to a member of this site. She's just a troll, so.		2010-06-05 15:05:00

Even if that's the case, people should try to keep it civilised, this is a PG site after all. If people must name-call doing so in a public thread is a bit unorthodox, as said before, PM is there for a reason.

Furthermore even if she is a troll, not saying she is, she is still a member of this forum and should be treated as a human not as a 'troll', therefore deserves to be treated with common courtesy.

Anyhoo... Back to the general forum for me.		2010-06-05 15:22:00

As tends to happen with threads of this nature, it seems to have evolved into a mini-flamewar, so...
