 Shrimpity Shrimpity Shrimp
Hello. I've been browsing these forums ever since i've finished Eldest, and all I see is a lot of people with 20+ posts per day, and ginourmous sigs. I hope to get some order within this forum, as I see a future here. Whenever I find a good thread, it always ends up as...
"YOUR WRONG"
"NO IM NOT YOUR WRONG"
"NO, YOUR WRONG IDIOT"
....it's called debating folks, not flaming. If you want to state a point, you need to listen to the other person's thoughts, even if you know you are right. If you are right, then you will always win the debate, and that's why it works. I know i'm not a mod or admin of these forums, but I have a few suggestions for you guys to help out the forum.
1. make the rule set an ANNOUNCEMENT. this means it shows up at the top of every single forum.
2. enforce the rules. I see these rules broken every single day, and barely every see someone get warned.
3. new rule- no flaming, just debating. "NO IDIOT YOU ARE WRONG," counts as flaming.
4. i would also reccomend in addition of 3 warnings = ban; 2 warnings = suspension.
5. there are too many people on this forum that have 20+ posts per day, as I said before. most of these people have way too many pointless posts. like "ok," "yes," "no way," etc. Try to enforce that rule. It's the rule I see most broken, other than the signature rule.
lol, i'm done ranting. thanks for letting me get that out.

I totally agree with you. I've gone to another forum though that just started. I'm hoping it turns out better than this one....
The link is in my sig.

lol. ur acting like a mister-know-it-all. that's my job. lol. jk. the warnings i believe are only to be used as a last resort. You don't give them out for a little flaming when a debated degenerates into what you said above. But the thing os, a lot of the people on here are too adamant and won't listen. when they hear you say something contrary to their belief, they are automatically "YOU ARE WRONG! I'M RIGHT, SO I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN".
good thing I'm not one of those most. lol.
noone seems to understand debating. if you don't adress someone's points in full, come up with counter-points, and you can't come up with counters to their counter-points for your points, then YOU LOSE!!! your argument is not good enough and you don't have enough evidence. either give up or go find more evidence. I'm sick of people after they lose, continuing to say "no you are wrong and I am right". SICK OF IT!!! lol.

I think Ayra will be the next rider. Read I'MNOTCRAZY's signature for more info.
Ayra may die when fighting Galbatorix! i have proof!
with the way CP put the book, i have a feeling that Eragon will lose some more loved ones/good friends, Garrow and Brom died in Eragon, Ajihad died in Eldest, they were all loved ones/good friends. Ayra prolly WILL die!
for those who don't understand my sig, for about 200 pages Ayra will be a rider, then she'll die.

I'MNC, when he first said that, I immediately though of you, so don't go trying to say you don't do that yourself sometimes  Well, let's not argue. We're all entitled to opinions, no matter how much evidence you have for it
