limits on posting armylists

[Akaiyou]

I do feel like I want to chime in - before my words are used incorrectly - and point out that the "RATE MY LIST but let's not have an actual discussion about how to use them and what to put into them" threads are pretty dumb. The entire reason I want to avoid weird rigid forum rules is to foster more creativity and discussion - those threads are the opposite of that.

Akaiyou, if your take home from this conversation is "folks on BoLS are mean," then you're only getting half the point. You might want to consider that your style of posting army lists is annoying to some people and perhaps instead of defending your right to post whatever you want, you should also stop and think about the reaction your are eliciting. Maybe this whole project of "I don't want you to tell me how to improve this list because I'm not ever going to buy any models ever, just tell me how good it is" is wrong-headed from the start.

In other words, Akaiyou, I don't really think you're right. I just prefer to post in a forum where you have the ability to be wrong .

When did I say that you think I am right? Quote me perhaps? Lol you clearly said that you are annoyed too.

What i commended you for is the fact that you had the maturity (and sense) to either ignore the threads, or use the various forum functions that make it easy for you to ignore such threads.

Now how stupid or non-stupid the thread could be to you, is a matter of opinion. One man's trash is another man's gold. Am i wrong?

My take home from this is not that 'folks on bols are mean'
Because I've been on bols longer than most of you, just look at our join dates.

I've got Bols on speed dial and ****. lol

Now for someone that had the maturity to acknowledge that you can simply 'ignore' or use the functions to ignore such threads, i'm quite surprised that you don't have the maturity to consider that there's simply not just 1 giving someone feedback. Bit narrowminded if you ask me.

Ultimately I refer you all to that nice thread posted by WolfShade offering some very solid guidelines for posting conduct including responses.

For the record I find most of this *****ing (excuse my french) amusing. It's almost like an unintended sociological experiment, tabletop gamers fighting for the right to limit other's rights to post freely or to limit discussions. Wowzers...has history not taught us anything about the dangers of advocating censorship? About what happens when we start thinking that 'our' way is the superior and only way?

Why do you think I comically called The Tzeentch dude whatever his name is, Net-Hitler?

Seriously you guys need to take a step back, breathe and re-consider the stuff you are writting. Regardless of how many other morons might agree with you, it doesn't mean you are correct. Even the worst of people through out history had a fan base that agreed with them. Think on that.
