I think we can all agree that the forums are in a bit of a trough at the moment. One of the reasons given for this trough are the amount of personal attacks going on in the forums. The objective of this thread is to discuss what constitutes an "attack", and what, if anything, can be done to prevent future attacks.

I've been observing a self-proclaimed victim of multiple attacks for 7 months now, and I will include below a discussion, whereby this victim gets seriously attacked in an obviously coordinated manner. Please analyse this vicious assault, and try to come up with ideas to prevent these types of heinous crimes.

In order to protect the victim from future attacks, his name has been obfuscated. I have swapped around some of the letters of his name.

Initial Post
Cashthetrash: "Oh, so it is true you really did just join so you could be a spy. LOL" (Please ignore the obvious baiting, trolling nature of this post. That is the subject of a different, yet equally important thread)

HBH: I think you'll find the lesson of the exercise, is that he hasn't told anyone anything. . . and you's keep badgering him.

The shame is on you guys, i think.


P- :
In Darv's defense... I guess he made an agreement with him... as is true in my clan that you don't share. He's told us as much when we ask what the hell happened.

I think he's making this point as he feels RN has lied about something.

I don't know what's going on... don't really care (that much) but have asked Darv and some of my clan members to just drop it like the recs....

Darv is the kind of guy to defend himself if he feels he's being lied about, it's best to just drop this subject and leave it at that...

and be happy.

Now go watch that video... I just popped in to find the link again as I closed my browser earlier.

P-


Cashthetrash: Interesting that I make only one post and get attacked twice? Should I defend myself? Oh that's right only a carp can do that. I'll just be happy to point that out. (Please ignore the melodramatic, victim card playing hypocrisy. That is beyond the scope of this operation entirely)

As cash has identified these posts as attacks, I believe we have good subject material with which to find a solution.

Please, for all that is good in the world, join with me in my quest to find a solution to prevent these types of attacks on valued members of the community.

Thanks,

Dr. D

Anything the field of mathematics can offer to solve this conundrum, and make the world a better place?

Or possibly a haiku promoting friendship and passivity?

Alternatively we could enforce drugs abuse on the site.

I mean, people who are stoned never get into fights.

I think that some normal respect towards each other would help.

A forum once was,
Leaves now softly fall from trees,
Born friendship now is.

Normality is just a state of mind.

It's more like:

"Hey buddy..."
"Yeah. What..."
"Yeah...whatever..."
"Cool man..."

1. Never disagree with anyone. Disagreement is offensive.
2. Don't bring up facts. Nobody wants to hear facts.
3. If you are a Carp, you should avoid replying to anyone who has expressed their dislike of your clan. Any reply will be seen as an attack.
