wow, lotta good points here
*As far as letting the mods control banning: I agree, the purpose of this thread isn't just to keep the 'trolls' out of the UT3 forum, but also to give all of us who are sick of it a place to vent a little with like-minded people.
*Ban from UT3 forum (i don't remember who posted it, but was saying i had a leet attitude for opening this thread): There is nothing leet about it, just common courtesy. If these people can't keep themselves under control and keep from trying to ruin things for everyone else, then maybe they need a bit of time to 'cool off'.
*Ignoring these folks is fine for those of us who already have and enjoy the game, but my issue arises when these ppl are turning new players away with their comments. It has happened numerous times already, and who knows how many more will down the road. THAT is what i'm trying to prevent, simply because I enjoy the game and would like more ppl to play with/against.
*We need more love in the forums (like was posted earlier), but it would be a lot easier to accomplish without party poopers running around spitting in our eyes, and turning away people at the door (which is ultimately my main issue).
*Every one of us have compaints about the game. That is fine, post it in a constructive manner, and try to be an adult when posting it. Be constructive! And even if you don't like the game, don't try and turn new players off of it. Also, if more of the posts were "I didn't like this game because...." I would not have a problem. Instead we get a ton of posts along the lines of "this game sux so bad, IMHO it is the worst game ever" and even more offensive things besides.
