"1 rotten apple in the basket can affect the rest"
good thing the "hardcore" members do not give in to the rotten apples
We had some rotten apples here before and they did not fit in and go although that rotten apple was downvoting the Larian games on poll sites.
I wouldn’t call any other members with this strong and sever word (rotten), simply because in itself it is an insulting word and using it makes the user as bad as those whom he insults.
You can tell if an apple was “rotten” or not if it provokes you to become as worse as it is.
There is a kid on this forum that would not be restricted to insult others because he could get away with it.
Read the board rules of the Larian Forum again please.
This whole fuss is really unnecessary because the moment you get insulted all you have to do is to report the offensive post to the moderator, and if the moderator did not take decisive action immediately, things could get out of hand because we are all human after all.
The function of law is to organise such human relations, and moderators are forum police who act to enforce the law. Occasionally, the law might be a bit hazy or unclear and the offence could not cross the threshold at first but it could sneak up in magnitude. This is exactly what happened, and without enforcing the civility law a jungle war hits in.
