How long before a mod comes in to close this mess down? I bet 10 fun-bucks that it gets to page 25 before anything happens.

lmao, I can't believe this thread is a reaction to a blog on the topic of this forum's toxic environment. I wonder what Mr. Gaider would think if he read this. XD

Maybe this?

Most likely.

This is a good thread,

Because now BioWare can use it to clear out some negativity.

Run through this thread with a pen and paper, and the ban hammer swinging.

Write down good advice, ideas and concepts (such as fan mood is based off the quality of the product).

And then swing that hammer at anyone going outside the site rules and being the type of people Gaider blogged about.

Genius.

But in all seriousness, it does make me sad when we cant just discuss a game without resorting to insults. I want the"social" to be put back in "social network" here.

Discussions without insults? Are you new to the internet?


But do the insults that have been placed here regarding a ///video game/// go with merit? I know ME has been an inspiring force in many peoples lives but...its still a video game.

Only ponies can cover the hate and hostility.

@Jade: I think right now they're relying a little bit too much on the mods and the PRs. This won't end well. They'll probably never read it, which makes me sad.

I'm not taking anyone's word for granted here.

  • Who said "go to hell" and "smug barstards"?
  • What was the context?
  • What was the source?
I appologise if I came accross as rude...
I have heard a lot of rumours and value judgements about other people that have turned out to be completly false.
At years ago there was a girl who "apparantly" was arrested for punching her boyfriend.
After doing a bit of probing it turned out that the story was completly false.
By asking questions about the rumour, I inadvertantly spread the rumour myself.
As a result I lost a lot of friends who to this day (seven years later) refuse to talk to me.

So if you're accusing anyone of anything, I want some EVIDENCE!!!!!

A mod is never late or early, they lock exactly when they intend to.

I actually agree with the comment by jade about running through this thread with the ban hammer, it would clear out a lot of negativity from both sides.

The funny thing is that Volus isn't even a brony. Oh and we were here all along. It's a conspiracy!

BSN is indeed a pretty sh*tty place most of the time, with the level of hate in the ME sections reaching ridiculous levels at times. But every now and then a good discussion does occur. We really do need more productive discussion, and less unnecessary hate.

A BSN member who was behind Jumpin Productions has also complained about the negativity towards him.

No this wasn't negativity about the endings. This was people ****ing at him personally. There were even death threats on the forums. I'm shocked.

The BSN is one of the most tame places as far as ME community is concerned.


Wow. What other places do you go to?

If the game was so good, and the ideas behind the endings so brilliant, why hasn't anyone come out and actually debated the points?

Its interesting, everyone says "they would only spam hate on the rep", yet everytime i see the BioWare tag under the username on the BSN i've seen nothing but in depth discussions on the game, with respect going both ways.

The perception that many here purport that "haters" are stupid entitled whiners, holds absolutely no weight in the face of such discussions that do occur. So why this blog when the truth is the polar opposite?

I remember one other unfulfilled promise that was stated I think by Priestley, that at some point after enough people have experienced the endings BW was going to come out and discuss them and their reasoning behind them.  Just who is left that needs to experience them?

The WiiU crowd?


Ha yeah and if BW is to be believed they will never get ME1 and 2 either so there may be less of an understanding of the ending's flaws.  As well as less of a real sense of possession of the game and story.  And then once they've experienced ME3 and can't figure out what the problem is, BW will release the WiiU trilogy in order to explain it all.

Seriously though, I feel like maybe starting a nostalgia thread now where we can just talk about the good old days. :)


Nostalgia can only keep something going for so long though. A much harder route would be to try and return this place to it's former, glory isn't the right word, ‘infamy'.

It *would* create more divisiveness if the rest of us learn of it, and that'll do no good.  :(

Well. Tbh thre's only a few posters in this thread that has been resorting to insults and spreading that toxin he talks about. Remove those posts and the thread would be surprislingly civil.

Thank you. I agree on your points. It's funny though, you're pretty much the only poster that I will take the time to read each and every wall-of-text you create lol because they are mostly filled with fantastic insight and advice.
You're also very persistent Image IPB

Much Image IPB

Count me in! 3DandBeyond is one of the very few people whose huge text's I bother to read, and I enjoy reading them.

It really annoys me, that Bioware disregards the kind of comments and threads she makes, and claims that BSN is just full of negativity. That's so not true.
