Is anyone else sick of the Trolls here on the forums and in the game, all the personal attacks, rude comments, and derailments that lead to multi-page flame wars?

One Troll posted inappropriate comments about the sexuality of players and acted like it was nothing then practically dared the Moderators to do something about it.  In the same thread he told someone, "Shut up you wanna die. Watch i'm coming to your house tonight with my scout."  I know the likely hood of that happening is ZERO but you cannot allow members to make such statements.

He's one of the worse violators but he is not the only one who is an attention seeking Troll.  You have Vet players from back when the game was Alpha who are constantly Rude to new players.  When a new player makes a post, instead of constructive comments, the Trolls post rude sarcastic one liners and then its either a flame war, personal attack or derailment that follows.  You even got one Vet player boasting about the Forums being his battleground. Constructive discussions are welcome but why do your posts always lead to flame wars?  Because you always have to get the last word?  I suppose you don't care about your reputation or maybe you are fooling yourself and think that many people here like following your antics, but I for one think you carry it way to far, especially with new players who are new to the Forums.

And for what?  Are you promoting Hawken in a positive light? Trying to welcome new players to Hawken? Encourage them to stay or are you just hanging around (since Alpha) because winning battles in the forums makes you feel important?

I will end my post here and apologize to the community that my post is starting to sound like a rant/callout thread, but If the community cannot police itself then the Moderators need to step in and put a stop to all this Toxic nonsense.

Yes please. Out of all the online communities I'm a part of, this one has the most people on my ignore list. That's crazy, considering how few 'regulars' we have.

+1 I enjoy this community but it does seem to have taken a turn as of late.

I don't understand this either, last time I came here to read about any updates, and that thread was full of rage, even a mod decided to take a shot at someone. It's Mad Max rules on here it seems. Theirs not that many active users/posters anyway, the bot forum war scared them off, and now the rest fight for what food and water is left :lol:

Lemme take advantage of this thread and tell you that I love you all, even though a lot of you don't like me. (no fuzzy bunny)















Ok I don't, some of you are just too arrogant and snobby.

I've actually found this community to be pretty nice for the most part, if sarcastic. Maybe I just don't see it.
On second thought let's not go to #hawkenscrim. Tis a silly place.

Why would that mean we should be content to put up with terrible attitudes?

Yes. Yes. I love the phrase non sequitur. I don't know why. It just verbally sounds so nice, and you used it properly, and your point was valid. +1.
