Disable Journals

by Digitalnick • 18 Jun 2007, 23:25 • Journals
Good evening,

We are all talking about the high amount of flaming in our beloved community.
Where does all this flame come from?

1. From all the pointless, meaningless journals.
2. The comments on the recruitmentthreads.
3. The comments on newsposts that has something to do with clanbase.

You will probably think, LOLz then crossfire will die, but it wont.

Crossfire was (and still is) made so that the community could discuss the things that were/are happening in the scene.

Nowadays I only see kids expressing their feelings by writing a hate-journal towards clanbase/random group/person/etc.

My question towards the admins is; ever considered about disabling the journals?

to avoid spam and flame you have to disable the comment function in generaly so its not that easy like you think mate :]

Completely agree, journals are utterly useless.
▼
Digitalnick 19 Jun 2007, 00:55
First one that agrees :)

I watch 24, prison break and heroes myself aswell

Olly 19 Jun 2007, 01:02
Actually I've stopped watching Heroes. It got too boring mid-season, and I've got a lot of other series to watch :P
Parent

Digitalnick 19 Jun 2007, 01:05
Since the first season of HEROES ended, i'm rewatching 24 :D

I don't really like the new battleship galaxtia or smth like that ;X

Then don't read them.

Digitalnick 19 Jun 2007, 01:33
That's not the point ..

a while ago, in every journal was more and more flame, and we allowed it. Why wouldn't we allow a 'fuck' in a journal? But it's gotten worse and worse and the line there once was, the so called line of respect, is now gone.

Okey, let me rephrase. Journals wouldn't be useless if people actually got answers to what they were asking instead of flame after flame after flame. Unfortunately though, that's not the case, so in my opinion it would be better to force people to stick to the apropriate forum sections and let people like Ronner keep the threads free of useless comments only made to provoke.

Better yet, teach people to ask for help in the forums instead of journals :)

Answered yer own whine, most forum threads get an answer.

Olly 19 Jun 2007, 02:31
They get one serious answer and 100s of comments purely made to make fun of the poster, and it's even worse in the journals. It shouldn't have to be like that, even if most of the people in here are 16 or less.

That's my point, although i can't express myself with such an english-skill :)

deleting meaningless journals (no content, back from the club, exams are over, 200 journals about one match while there is a newspost...)

at least interesting journals wouldnt be pushed down in one hour by stupid junk
▼
Digitalnick 19 Jun 2007, 01:35
That would be an improvement aswell, but i don't think admins would bother to do such things.

i think its better to give all the flame you've got here on the internet then irl.
▼
Digitalnick 19 Jun 2007, 02:05
A journal full of flame means there is one person with less anger in his heart, but so many other people with more anger. So what you are saying ..

u dont have to "disable the journals", the only thing u'll have to do is to disable limbonic and all the flame will be gone

journals keep the community alive... what would we have without them?
▼
Digitalnick 19 Jun 2007, 01:58
Journals keep the community alive? :/

It's an ET community, decent ladders & cups would keep the community alive. Not journals full of flame.

Suggestion: More space for journal-topics on the left, now there are room for 10 journal, you already have to scroll down if you want to see forum-topics. So why wouldn´t we scroll little more?

Many good/important journals gets pushed away from our sight because of "3on3 gotserv by fredd", "Kung-Fu Monkey by sol" and so on.
