Your so damned wrong and have no damned clue what you are talking about. I havent been against this! I only think the thread should had stayed on topic, Now stop putting words in my mouth and lieing.
Stasisesque is right on with what I am getting at. Now your just ticking me off for falsifing what I have typed.
Cherokee and his ilk, only towards you now for getting it all wrong. I never had any reguard or patience for people like you that put false words in my mouth.
I am full blood eastern band cherokee and a christian. You going to say some nasty things about that? Go ahead. I wouldnt put it past someone that lies like that. I dont hate people for what they are or judge them for what they choose to do. Free will, can do what ever the hell you want. Dont care. My only point was keeping the thread on topic.
Now lets see who bashes me for this. See who the hypocrites are.
You edited whilst I was responding.
Just want to say that 'and his ilk' wasn't referring to American Indians, if you thought that was what I meant.

OK, possibly I was a bit harsh, and for that I apologise. Sincerely. The 'and his ilk' line was definitely off of me.
Why don't we put it all behind us and not talk about sex anymore? I promise i'll not mention sex or slag you off any more.
You've stated your stance on what you think is appropriate for discussion etc, and its clear. There's no need to mention it again, eh?
How's about that?

It's a difference of opinion. I, for instance, don't believe a person's sexual preference should be a defining feature of them. If I were having a conversation with someone, and asked them to describe themselves, and they said, "I'm gay", I'd think that person was incredibly boring. And while I don't believe anyone should be prevented from discussing their sexual preference, I'd find the conversation incredibly tedious.
The personal attacks on Cherokee are very confusing, I'm reading exactly the same posts as you lot, and all I see is his (his? her?) belief sexual preference isn't a valid topic for the CITY OF HEROES AND VILLAINS game forums, absolutely nothing about having to keep your orientation a secret. Just how often can it come up in context, honestly?
But he was the one who started talking about SEXUAL preference. the woofters and lesbos and trannies etc in the thread were quite reasonably talking about SGs and whatnot. I don't know why he's banging on about SEXUAL preference anyway, ignoring love etc. Read the damn OP. It's from sb asking for an SG, not sb looking for a sexual liason. Sheesh.
If I posted a 'looking for a C-h-r-i-s-t-i-a-n SG' thread, anyone who started any 'religious preferences have no place in an MMO game' would be bang out of order, and hopefully roundly heckled for being a knob. And it's experience of the GBLT community leads me to believe that they would be in general more tolerant of such a request thread than Cherokee and his ilk has been here.

I am very glad to have us all in the same boat I am also glad they do have filters in this forum and game. That F word that is used as a slur in america and elsewhere against homosexuals is a word i see too much of in the game and elsewhere in the world of media and real life. It may have different meanings elsewhere but I only see it as a sign of hate and bigotry. I understand it has different meanings in other countries and that is fine and well but I will gladly do with some censored words on this side that may seem normal if everyone else is. The bridge we now have rocks.
The F-word that's an informal synonym for 'cigarette' in the UK? When i used to smoke, I'd take devilish delight in telling my PuG members on Freedom that I was having a short break to 'go and smoke a f-g. BRB' - combined with the US informal definition of 'to smoke sb', I'm sure it caused some raised eyebrows.

Quote:is it? That wasnt what my OP was about, no.Originally Posted by Talen_Lee
Absolutely - I think there are lots of problems with the 'culture of Venture,' but it's really not meaningful to complain about here. This thread is about people who think the best alternative to mean critics is to provide excessive praise, right?
I agree that the amount of Venture-bashing so far in this thread is sufficient now, we dont need any more.

Why cant i just type in tge quick reply fueld without having to hit 'quuck reoly' button? Its taunting me, that box.
Abd i HATE the fact that the thread title takes you to the first page and tge tiny arrow has to be used for going to first untrad. Im going to want to go to the first post in a thread once, and then im going to be gping to the first unread loads of times. Reverse them please.
Not being able to see 're:whoever' if i just Reply means in order to make it clear who im replying to, ill quote instead every time, which will take up more space.
There was no meed to remove the nested quotes thing. There was already a forum rule in place to deal with abuse of nested quotes.

Quote:The reason i'd prefer arcs of 45 or lower is that ive only got 2 lvl 50s, my main, MrCaptainMan, en/en blaster and The Dirty Promise, NB/nin Stalker. I havent had much luck runnibg review arcs with MCM, and i think it might be because of him rather than the quality of the arcs i play. I'd rather not jeopardize sbs arc and my fun with risking it on him. With lvl 40, i can take in a lower toon and usually the auto-exemp plus some shivans will suffice, but one of my toons in the late 30s auto-exemped up to 50 might have a hard time against an AV or a custom EB lvl 50Originally Posted by Ideon
In your thread you linked, you requested storyarcs subject for your review shouldn't be above level 45. Is this because your alts aren't high enough level? What if the storyarc in question autosidekicks everyone to 50 or something similiar?
im open to suggestions, though, none of my rules are set in stone forever.

Are we likely to get any answers to what exactrly is going to be changed and what definitely isnt? I'm most concerned with the forum password, tbh, i think. everything else is annoying, but that's serious.
I don't want my forum password to be the same as my game account password.

Quote:Count me in too for this. Sig images are an abomination in my opinion. However, I understand that some people like them, and I've no wish to deprive them of something that gives them pleasure, so I'd like the option to disable sig images be user-based. I'm referring to just sig images, not images in the body of a post.Originally Posted by Kelenar
Count me as one more for the "I hate image signatures" camp. I'm here to read the forums, not to look at dozens of photoshopped pictures proclaiming how kewl people's characters are in between every single post. Give me a button to just disable image signatures and I'll be happy.
And just to be clear, I'd like to be able to do all three of the following, AT THE SAME TIME
1. see the images in a posts body
2 see the text of a sig
3. not see the images in that sig.

I feel the same. Its just slightly slower on my PC, but agonizingly tedious on my iPhones safari browser. The old forums were a delight to use on the iPhone.

QR - I can't see the mods allowing a thread celebrating St Davids Day to stay, myself. It's nothing at all to do with CoH. However, the Brits now around me couls shed some light on wether or not that sort of stuff was tolerated on the old EU boards?

'bf aggro' or 'gf aggro' or 'wife aggro' or 'husband aggro' give no ibdication of the gender of the person saying it, so i dont see why gays n lezzers cant use them too?

'how witlessly expressed' charming as ever, Talen. You have hurled invective at me far more than I have at you, if you want to go there.
At the end of the day, your opinion, your ratings, AND my opinion and ratings have a miniscule effect on the AE system. Bang your chest all you like, you are as important or unimportant as i am.
And here's my response to the phrase 'critical analysis': Thhrrrrrrppp!!!
Eco
ps re: treating you and Venture with the same kindness as my mystery beneficiary: i'll give your arcs a go happily; if they're fun i'll do my best to not let my opinion of you affect my rating. -
Quote:Your rating approach, combined with your feedback, also subverts the point as you explain it. You recently thought an arc worthy of just 4-stars because even thoigh it was 5-star fun it had loads of typos and grammar errors. You sent the author a long message listing them, i guess in the assumption or at least hope that your feedback would be used to improve the arc. If you get an 'all typos correxted!' message, do you play immediately and rerate? Because that arc now carries a rating from you that by your own admission is wrong (EDIT: if it has been amended due to your feedback i mean)Originally Posted by Talen_Lee
My point is that the rating system theoretically exists to help people find arcs of substance and quality and you two are explicitly trying to countermand that based on the fact you might be fond of the author.

Apple wouldnt need to approve of anything, i wouldnt think. The forum just needs to have an alternative version thats less full of crap like the background picture etc. Browsing is sometimes painfully slow now. Its really noticeable.

Btw, i dont agree with Talens suggestion that everybody should get Devs Choice. I dont mind brightening up the day of a stranger for a moment, but giving everybody devs choice would be gping too far IMO.
Eco -
Actually, i dont even think this behaviour of mine is in breach of what the ratings system is for. I wouldnt award 5-stars to a badly-spelled Mary Sue arc that tried to paint the KKK in a good light. In order to 'deserve' the stars, the arc has to somehow convey to me the impression that the MAuthor would be someone i'd find affable if i talked to them. Being able to do that is a feat surely worthy of a high rating

I cannot sing. Ive got an obviously below-par singing voice, and yet i have taken part in the odd karaoke evening (twist and shout is mysing of choice, and thats down to Ferris), and when i get married, i fully intend to sing sth for my wife at the reception. I bet Venture_NA'd be a bundle of fun at a karaoke bar, getting all Simon Cowell on me, abd he certainly isn't getting an invite to the big day
