Nameless and Faceless Article
My name is not important mainly because I don't want to hear what people think of my article. Seeing as how anytime someone writes an article someone else has to pick through it and tell that person they're wrong or they're dumb or they misspelled too many words. That's why I'm using the pen name CanOpener. A name I once used but I have since shed. Also don't try contacting me through my e-mail address because that will probably be just a one-time thing.
Now that that's said, I'm sick of the evil that is arguing. I know this will probably not accomplish anything at all, but I felt the need to say this. In #starmen that's about the only thing that goes on. Ops and regulars argue. Regulars and other regulars argue. I've even seen ops argue with other ops. And then some people are surprised, but they should know better because the outcome is always the same: the ops are right. That's not to say that on a very slim occasion a regular does make a good point, but most of the time the ops are right.
However this does not stop the regulars from trying to prove that they are right. They will argue their case until the op will kick the person. And then the person comes back and seems surprised that they got kicked even though it happens every time. And then the regular will fight even harder for their cause. And this surprises the op even though it happens every time. And then eventually the regular might get banned if the arguing continues. Now look, there's a banned regular who was got banned because he thought he got kicked unnecessarily.
However, remember the slim chance the op was wrong? It still doesn't matter. In the NFL more plays that are reviewed keep the ruling on the field because the referees don't want to admit they were wrong. It's human nature and you can't fight it. An op was in a bad mood so you got kicked for something that might not have needed a kick. Get over it. You're not the first and you're not the last. Don't keep seeing what kind of stuff the ops react to or it'll get you banned. I mean while I'm writing this article I just saw it happen. It's that frequent of an occurrence.
This is not something that you shouldn't expect when you create an online community. It's kind of like 12th century France. You have very few rights and you shouldn't push your luck around the people with the power unless you want to be beheaded. Except in #starmen the punishment is far less than decapitation.
I'm not saying that punishment should be increased or a #starmen Bill of Rights should be created. I'm just saying that the argument never ever is cared about and arguing should be stopped. If you want to make a suggestion to an op I would send them a nice e-mail and state your point. An idea I have thought about was a Starmen.net suggestion box. But maybe that would just be abused like the rest of the community is.
