Rude Users

[Kittyinpink]

so i was playing a game online and some dude called me a name, and i kindly asked him to not call me that, and the dude blew up on me calling me names and other very rude stuff.kinda hurt my feelings.
what does anyone else think about that?
or what stories do you have about just plan rude people online?

[GameGeeks]

Just the nature of the Internet. People will say what ever they want just because they wont face retribution for it. In ways the Internet has let us social evolve and others it has done the opposite. I just tend to block people like that.

[Kittyinpink]

thats what i did. its just a shame that those people can ruin your fun...

This is what happens when 14 year old American boys have the internetz.

i truely believe that is what has happend to the internet

[Xeyuzio]

I am a 14 year old boy with internet, a better thing to say is "this is what happens when you let 14 year old idiots use the internet". Anyways I hate when people abuse games like that, I usually report them but that's pretty much all we can do besides muting. ;~;

[.Tatty.]

However there should be a mute/block button for these people if you look hard enough.

So if you endure the abuse, you only have yourself to blame really.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I am used to unfriendly forums, so I don't really get easily offended, it kinda helps you to man up/toughen up if you're a guy.

But this immaturity sounds something that you should rather ignore, someone like isn't worth the time and should grown the hell up.

[GameGeeks]

You where fourteen once.

[.Tatty.]

You where fourteen once.


Yet not American. Atleast not raised in America.

[GameGeeks]

Yet not American. Atleast not raised in America.
And that matters why?

[Kittyinpink]

seems like people are always taking their problems out on other people though

[.Tatty.]

If I took half my problems out on the people of this forum, you'd all be screwed.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

And that matters why?

This generation of teenagers suck though.

There's a small exception.


If I took half my problems out on the people of this forum, you'd all be screwed.

I'll join you on that, lol.

[GameGeeks]

Shinichi Not really, only difference is that we can along as the net was gaining popularity.

okay but how do people feel about men being so harsh on women on the net?

[GameGeeks]

I'll just assume this is your first forum. http://dbxforums.com/images/smilies/kruemelmonsteryn0.gif
Far far FAR from it. The only difference between our generation and the next is for a small while we learned there's consequences for our actions. Not so much now on the net. Not to mention there's people our age and older that behave like that on the net so it's not just the next generation.

It's only a small percentage that still are immature. Actually this generation of teens are more ignorant, arrogant and spoiled. http://dbxforums.com/images/smilies/kruemelmonsteryn0.gif

[Skylar1]

People have been disdainful to each other without provocation since the beginning of recorded history.

It's an ego-defense mechanism, caused by a huge lack of maturity.


Actually this generation of teens are more ignorant, arrogant and spoiled.

quite the opposite, actually. Generation Y is possibly the most accepting and tolerant generation of individuals to exist.

GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN MEN ARE POSTING!


























like that?

[The Butcher]

That is how all forums act.

Though I did get a message of curse words after I slaughtered this guy over and over in Red Dead Redemption. The guy should not have shot first.

[Velvet_Nightmare]

Age and country don't matter. Jerks on the internet will be jerks.

There's a 60 year old man in a shooter I play who talks just as much crap, if not more than the 14 year old kids.
And whenever someone talks smack to me in a forum or game, telling me I suck or that I cheat or whatever, I simply laugh and tell em, "Don't lose any sleep over it buddy"

[Kittyinpink]

that is true

[nrL]

Y, why so srs?

AF = The biggest gathering of babies ever. No lie. The members here have no skin. Lol the other forum I go to we get this nice message when you read the rules/before you join.



As another warning:
Off-Topic is the unfriendly section - A section where there is zero respect or sympathy. Threads rarely stay on topic and newbs get attacked just for being a newb. Do not complain about posts in this section, for we will do nothing about it.

Most of AF would probably run away crying at the stuff the guys say there. I've learned to suck it up. It's just the internet. You can say all you want to me because you're just saying it to Blueangel06661. Not me. You're not saying it to my face. Just to my "online reputation" Well I have real world things to worry about rather than if someone online likes me or not...............................

[Vanilla Tsundere]

I love how some people think that stupid people only exist in America and in teenagers. Anyone on the Internet should be fully aware stupid people are all over the world. So the country elitist role people try to take is really retarded. Anyway~
@ The OP- People on the Internet are just gonna be rude, and flame, and troll. I'm not gonna lie, I've done it myself, and it has happened to me. It's like trial and error. You have to deal with the idiots for a while to learn how to take it, rebuttal to it, whatever. It gets a lot easier overtime.

Yep, the internet has become a breeding ground for the modern day "Keyboard Warrior"

[Miss Moonlight]

The internet lets people show their true colors without risking judgement. That's both one of the good and the bad things about the internet. Also, the way it magnifies human behavior lets people have some sort of "outlet", I guess.

Other than that, if people are going to be douches in person, they will most likely be that way online, too.

If you go to an all guys forum, it helps you man up.

It kinda did for me when I was younger.

*shrug* I try to treat others as I would like to be treated. It's not always easy, but sometimes you you can't tell a dummy from someone who is just having a bad day. And if they're still in a mood or whatever, then that is between them and Karma. >:-D

Do you imply that trolls are immature? I say those who get trolled are...
....unless it's a very witty trolling, that is ;)

[Emphasis]

Of course they are immature, what kind of question is that? xD Would a mature person troll other people? :)
Anyone can get trolled, but that's not the deal. It's about trolling successfully or trol and FAIL.
You can whether run away crying or ignore it/laugh at it. (Or troll back.. or.. Tell the troll he/she is bad at it..)

[I A]

Oh believe me, if some of the people here saw AnimeLeague.net, they would never want to post aywhere ever again. xD That's a hardcore place over there, that forum is.

qq moar, n00b. CoD is a game for the mentally challenged; what did you expect?
And this is why I do not play, and will never bother trying games that have a Multiplayer feature. When I pirate download or browse through the discount basket and find a game that mentions online/server/multiplayer/mmo/thousands-of-players, I think of tons of illiterate idiots using all sorts of buffs to kill you quicker just to be the highest on an endless, ever-changing, impossible to top, internet Hi Scores list.
Try Single Player games, so the Jews can't rip you off of more money than what you paid for the game.

[Manhattan_Project_2000]

And that matters why?

Because everyone knows only Americans are rude. In fact, we invented rudeness. It was first exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 and exported to Europe soon after.

As per the topic, Welcome to the Internet, you must be new here. All is explained with this informative comic (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/3/19/) (swearing).

@ nathanromml (http://www.animeforum.com/member.php?268356-nathanromml)
LOL! That reply made me laugh. xD

[Xeyuzio]

The first forum I went to I got banned from because I took everything way to seriously and eventually I was what the mods called "trolling". Anyways that forum taught me the important of not taking the internet seriously. Besides, I doubt they would say anything they say on the internet in real life, that's why I can't help but to not take it that serious. Anyways I'm glad AF isn't like those other forums, people here are actually nice to talk to.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I remember all the infractions I got when I was 14-16.

Good ol' times.

Welcome to the internet...

Internet is complicated. Some people find it easier to express themselves through the internet, so it is inevitable to meet rude people. You can happen to meet mean people on the internet, or you can even find nice and honest people on the internet.

Look at you now, comparing your Infractions instead of your Rep, and bragging about it. Aah, I remeber the times when butthurtian whiners like MsAeris, Bean Bandit, -Klutz-, Princess [various members] and Kishiro used to Mod these forums; then your infractions rendered you infamous and hated fo' sure. Good times. Made me feel like I was ahead of the herd (which I've always been).

There was this guy on Black Ops who couldn't shoot my attack dogs due to his bad accuracy. He called me a cheater (thinking I hacked the attack dogs so they don't die but they can be killed) and then raged quit after the match was over. He has no skill whatsoever...

When you meet someone like this, All you need to do is ask to very simple Question's.

Oh noessss now he's going to go run and whine to a mod about how evil and rude you are GG.. You're going to scare some people off.

Well there were two different approaches you could take when someone is mean to you online.

A while ago, like a couple of years ago, it was very common to make fun of the rude persons mother. However, even though some people still use it, this style of combacks have died down.

The other approach is making fun of that person's face, which can lower down their self esteem, granting you victory.

However, since both approaches seem childish, I go for option C. Steal their bf or gf.

I am going to give my honest opinion here.
The internet does, and always will have trolls.
"Trolls"(A person who goes around saying anything they think will get a rise out of someone for the pure entertainment of F***'ing with someone.)

That being said, if you can't handle some random, insecure, loser of a person that you have never met. Calling you names... or whatever it may be.
Then most likely the Internet is no place for you. Stand up for yourself, and don't cry about it.

This is life, and i suggest you get used to it.

Eh. The longer you spend in semi-volatile internet communities, like gaming ones there, the thicker a hide you tend to grow to crap like that. Why was he a -expletive- to you? Well, because he can. That's it. He never had to see your face, argue, or suffer any negative repercussions for it. The consequences in comparison to being a jerk in real life are minimal at best.

It's a bit nsfw, but Penny Arcade did a popular little strip that illustrates this nicely. Anonymity + normal person + audience = Jerk

In real life I doubt they have they half the balls they do on here. I wouldn't be so hurt by just words. Remember, they are just words. Say them to yourself a bunch of times, and suddenly it doesnt matter.

People feel protected when using the internet and so, are often rude online. Just like my brother for example. He's a real jerk when it comes to things like that.

Like pretty much everyone else said, people will always be jerks online because nobody can see dem :/ (And oye--don't even get me STARTED on YouTube comments >.>)

Actually, a few weeks ago, I saw a video of a little girl (about 6-8) screaming expletives in her dad/brother's headset at some poor guy on Xbox Live. And it was the really bad stuff, too. Like, the kind of stuff you get your arse whooped with a belt for saying. It was horrible >.>

okay but how do people feel about men being so harsh on women on the net?

They need to be harsher, and they need to maintain harshness offline as well.

Chances are they are just little kids trying to look cool. I had it happen the other day irl when I was walking my dog. Just don't give them the attention they want.
