Whiners Section!

[WackyJacky]

Well we have a Help and Support Thread, a General Discussion Thread, even a Spam thread. How about a Whiners Thread? Just so we can get rid of the useless flaming/trolling that clutters up important threads.

Example: http://bushtarion.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4073

/End super serious suggestion

Can I be in charge of deciding who is relegated to the Whiner's Section please??

 

[atsanjose]

gripes section?

 

[pinpower]

gripes section?

Yeah. we already have this?

What this is:
A place where the usual barrage of complaining, whinging or moaning belongs instead of Bushtarion Discussions. The rules are no different to the Bushtarion Discussions section - instead it's so that people who come to these forums fed up of looking at all the moaning can actually avoid it by simply not hitting the gripes section - and those that do come to the gripes section can expect to be hit by a lot of moaning - be it moaning about me, the game, balancing, top alliances, bashing, waving, tactics, spies etc. etc.

They are different things!

gripes is for genuine sensible complaint.

i believe what is being suggested is for those idiots who whine about anything and everything.

So because some ones opinion of what is frustrating and serious is different to yours you want a whole new forum section?

Its going to be a point of conjecture, with no real basis to decide what is a whine and what is a gripe.

I considered gripes to be what you’re wanting a new thread for, something that a person finds an annoyance with. No matter how big or small in the eyes of another, it is still a gripe for that individual.

surely a sensible gripe/complaint becomes a suggestion or discussion. A whine/moan is still a gripe. I see no need for another category, except to bully and ridicule people who are already annoyed, by demoting their 'Gripe' to something seen as Lower and less important.

Which is in fact another bone of contention as it starts arguments about the merit of someone’s gripe, which is just plain unnecessary.

and i think the fact the heading of the gripe section it self is 'Got a gripe about the game or playerbase and need to get it off your chest?' it is perfectly acceptable to make a game/community related "whine" about a particular subject that irritates you.
