FH fans can be nasty
 

Hey guys, i know we all love FH in all its glory but you know, we dont always have to attack people outright if they are new and just happen to ask a 'stupid' question (ie. http://www.gamingforums.com/showthread.php?t=294029 ).
I mean, the guy joined this December and has three frigging posts, also, seems he is part of another development team for a mod, so honestly, when someone comes in and comments on how good the mod is looking and what not and has no prior history with FH, go a little easier on them, i mean come on, its Christmas for God's sake.

The FAQ and stickies are there for a reason... sooo yeah

Re: FH fans can be assholes
 

:agreed

Plus there was only one person being rather "hostile", I don't see how that makes FH fans assholes.

Re: FH fans can be assholes
 

Plus he created false hope, when I saw the thread I didn't noticed the question mark, leading me to believe it was a release date christmas present.
Sadness.

Re: FH fans can be assholes
 

I'm the asshole, but it's just that, really, stickies are at the top to be read, not to be ignored. It's a simple fact.

Re: FH fans can be assholes
 

Wow,Screw niceness,just telling a person "The info on that is in a Sticky HERE. Honest mistake remember to check those next time". Just be an ignorant Jackass.Thatll work. Being nice to people,where is that taught in society (exept religion,school,tv,books,parents,relatives,....)

Re: FH fans can be assholes
 

Actually, i tend to read over the stickies, instead of reading those first, no idea why, but it's the sad truth. I just hope we didn't scare that guy away. ;)

Hi There,

It does make me sad when people don't read my stickies and post a "When is FH2 gonna be relased thread" but the thread I made has had nearly 20,000 views so even if one or two people ignore it and post a thread think how many people it has stopped from posting :)

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

I think most people these days can do with a little more patience. Even if someone asks you a question you've been asked a thousand times, remember that the person who asked you the question only asked it once.

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

If you don't have patience for new users, let moderators do the job. They will link the new user to correct thread and lock the thread. Thereby also linking some other users to the FAQ.

:clueless:

It's gratifying when new members read all the stickies, look carefully through the website, have well-rounded knowledge of WWII, and have actually played FH1 before posting opinions about it, but this description probably applies to an infinitismally small number of the forum members. There are around 50 pages of stickied pages in the General forum alone. I certainly haven't read every single one.

1PoPeYe's question was something that is natural to be curious about, even if experienced forum members know better than to spam up the forums with unanswerable questions. He asked politely so why not answer the same way? He made one unnecessary post, its not as though he got drunk and ran over some kittens. Who does it help to be rude about it? Just explain.

Anything else is just another kind of forum abuse, except without the excuse of being new, and that makes STF a sad panda.:(

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

The fact that its christmas doesn't matter. Its always nice to be curteous when posting/replying and so on.

But then it is the internet we're talking about, where else can people be complete assholes and not face any repurcutions.

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

SHUT UP! YOU JUST SHUT UP! I HATE YOU! I KICK YOUR DOG!

That was a joke, by the way.

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

People, how could you frikken do that? This is a mod community , and in communities, we are supposed to not freaking flame each other and welcome new members. We definitely scared him off, and hes probably afraid to come back to these forums, or maybe even play FH, thinking he'll only be welcomed with cries of "STFU N00B!!!1" and "l00k! Its the retard who didnt readthe stickieslol".

Who knows, maybe he doesnt know what a sticky is? Maybe this is his first forum? Well, whatever it is, we havent showed him that the FH community is kind(?) and accepting, but cruel and evil. (yeah, strange word choice, i know...)

If you go to the website he links to on his profile, youll see its a BF2 community, similar to WOLF or HSLAN, which also posts updates of every mod on its website. Who knows how our reactions to his question will influence that websites decision to post mod updates? I guess we just lost another source of publicity as well guys.

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

I don't have a dog so hah!


I think people just like bouncing on these new forum members so they can do it before someone else and feel big.

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

Dang! I stand down a few days and I come back to find this.Wait, are you on the Solaris?

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

I do realise how tiresome repetative questions are, as I made countless ammount of replies to help people on mapping forums before I simply lost any motivation. Still though, there is no reason to be rude or hard on new person because it's just "another one", it's first time question for each one of those new people, so let's try to approach them with same dose of patience.
I don't know how about others, but imo being polite is not all that painful. I don't say that given thread example shows the worst possible behaviour, so take no offence, I adress it to all these situations.

These are the forums of Horgotten Hope and Forgotten Hope 2 mod, in big part founded thanks to FH devs who made all this possible in the first place. It's the community for their mod, and scaring people away is certainly not what they want. STF expressed his opinion as a dev team representative, so let's not make decisions in such cases ourselves, as afterall this can hurt FH's reputation in the end.

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

Yeah, community problems exist too...

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

Well maybe, had they bothered even researching an answer to their queries, they would see we aren't bad people unless you ask question that have been answered a million times already.

If _that_ gets you annoyed, dude, the state of heart attack prevention research isn't all that advanced. It's a nice day outside...

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

Sure, I did spend it outside, I do have a life and I donate to the heart attack foundation every year. Doesn't annoy me, I just like to bitch...

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

You sure do, last time I played with you on WaW, everytime I killed you, you bitched about hacks, even if you stood in front of the is2 :). But isn't that what makes you fun?

Re: FH fans can be nasty
 

i agree, always stay polite and respectfull, unless you have to deal with real bungholes
