also if this is the "whatever shall we do with this name master" Star Chambers like honestly??????? he's an eager lad with his heart in the right place but his forum posting slightly hyperactive and scaring him off would be a bit of a shame i guess. i can't say i haven't posted in his topics lately is all and he is basically like a younger me
Can we start talking about rules again? Stop talking about me (unless it's nice things!) I have certain disorders that makes it hard to interact with other people (Lord Raven knows this better than anyone!) I have recently tried to interact with other people, but it ends up backfiring in my face like Rayquaza's hyper beam.

Don't expect a hugbox from me.
But to compare you and him, I highly doubt you tried to be all ~*badass*~ and say that you had an insult in store for me that was so bad that he'd get reported and banned instantly.
Furthermore, you were also pretty good about responding to people in threads and you rarely started threads yourself unless you were gonna properly follow up on people who responded. And truth be told, the issue I have with him isn't too different from the main issue I've felt this forum has always had but it's exacerbated as of late. People (and it's not just him) on this forum don't seem to be interested in some sort of discussion in general and are more interested in these status update threads which is literally all that's keeping this place afloat.
When any attempt at discussion is started (see the stupid questions thread) it's either not followed up on or someone just declares it off-topic (when it's clearly not) and ignores it. See the Paris Attacks thread, where the only person willing to even follow up on things was Turner and somehow our debate was... a vicious argument that needed to stop? No personal insults were made at any point, aside from stuff that was directed towards me (which was irritating either way when someone has and states a preconception of the crap you're about to say).
And somehow Captain Jigglypuff can get away with saying absolutely inane crap that's extremely creepy and he doesn't respond to a single person who calls him out on it - nor does he really improve his posting habits as a result. If people want examples when I state points, then I've provided them here with no intent to personally insult these people, and I'd like to give a shout out to Turner for actually taking time to challenge me on my viewpoints when I brought something up, because I wish people were more open to doing things like that and having things like that done to them.
It's been a problem, and arguably it's been an issue for the entire time I've been here but I've always been too young and immature and most importantly not confident enough to criticize it (or criticize it properly) until now, when I still don't think I'm too great at it.
Now, I'm neither a nice guy nor am I someone trolling someone off a forum unless they're a cancer. As far as I know, as inane as someone like Captain Jigglypuff gets, he's not really a cancer cause the worst is gets is me saying that he makes me extremely uncomfortable because the stuff he posts is off-kilter and borderline disturbing.

? im not sure what you mean here exactlyif you're talking about people being Scared Off it usually is a "they keep getting yelled at and dont understand actually why, and they eventually leave cos to them everyone keeps yelling at them for no reason" and im worried The Name Master is gonna go this way cos on a forum like this it's a big activity killer.
puk currently has no real USP or mission statement atm except for the Name Rater Hater (according to the amount of newbies who are like 'why the backlog???? i signed up cos of the name rater but.....') so really the Banter Topics are kind of the natural way and p much the only thing keepin this place afloat. if anyone wants to start up a New Topic for Increased Activity/Variety they're more than welcome, surely?
uh......ok if you're talkin bout the france thread and why i was so "agghghghhuhgh" then that seems weird to bring up but if you want me to be blunt + honest its cos a multipage "is it islams fault or not" discussion was starting up in a topic meant to be for, like, honouring the people who just died. it felt like it was in poor taste and probably shoulda been taken elsewhere, i.e. the debate forum? idk about the religious denomination of the forum here but how do you think actual muslims woulda taken the Discussion going on in that topic?
also yes i too am guilty of this in my time but multi-page arguments between two users are kind of a topic-killer and are extremely boring for those except the two involved. on various forums i was on if that sort of thing started happening everyone would just groan and stop posting and the modship would usually knock their heads together like coconuts and go "cut it out you two or take it to the debate forum" cos things would inevitably get out of hand if left long enough. idk maybe its Different Forum Ways but thats usually when the "take it to PMs you two" is meant to come in.
so what you're saying is that you want people to be Honest and Frank with each other? or that you want them to be more honest with you? im havin a bit of a r****d time here cos the alternative of what you're saying here is that People Should Challenge Each Other More and thats incredibly risky on The Internet
having Opinions on forums stuff anywhere on the internet is always risky ground tbh universally. there's no worry in feeling vaguely Awkward about it
honestly im not trying to appear cool here but captain jigglypuff's hate crusade is p tame and easily ignorable?????? just put him on your ignore list, apart from the natalie portman snuff fantasies the dude is kind of harmless and keeps to himself for the most part and if he eventually tries to make a hit on the lady (lmfao) then it wont be cos of this place.
this is a fake edit cos it came up when i was typing but uh even for me you're being a little Personally Nasty to the dude rn imo
I'm from an Islamic family, but I don't see why discussion on the probable causes of things is in poor taste but that's just me. It was still fairly civil and in my opinion it's unproductive to "honor" things without really understanding why they happened in the first place.It's not an easy thing to discuss in any way.
Yes to all, and I don't think it's that risky on here if people take things much more in stride.I mean you're doing that to me now and I'm glad because right now it's helping me say what I'm trying to get at a bit better.
I don't what you're saying at the end of this but having opinions is only really risky if the kind of person who you're talking to has more an interest in winning an argument than actually discussing a topic. I don't think anyone here has the cigaro syndrome anymore. (ok so side note i'm trying to make a system of a down reference there)
That is generally freaky but he has said some really stupid crap and clearly has more an interest in soap boxing than like actively participating on here. Everyone else seems to at least participate especially when the thread calls for it.
tl;dr we are all sinners. some people are more sinner than others. are people born sinners or do they have sin thrust upon them? who knows? certainly not me, but the residents of pee kay emm enn dot net are all sinners and must learn to put up with one another's sin in a civil and learn virtue through the process of other sinners telling them not to be sinful. will it work? who knows? sinners.
we had a shipping topic once n all so we might as well just stop resisting and turn puk into an anime at long last. i'll write the wiki
If we really are turning PUK into an anime, i'd actually be on board with that.
psst outdated terms, its ASD now, AS dont exist anymore as of DSM-V due to Reclassification
