Ex players with big mouths

Forum for all general ingame discussion.

How should people who no longer play, but still make inflamatory comments be treated?

They should be completely ignored, they are no longer involved in the game, their opinions are worthless.

They should be treated the same as any other player, they obviously still care enough about the game to comment, even if those comments are sometimes controversial.

They should be listened to, they have a more unbiased view than people playing.

They should be convinced to get another acocunt and start playing again....... So that I can mass them!

YOu shouldn't ignore people because they don't play, you should ignore them because they are ignorant and are nothing but war mongering.

I dont really care about the opinions of most players who do play, but, heh, if they've been around a long time sure why not :)

Also, IMHO, people who visit the forums but dont play truly are sad.. unless they have some type of job such as ADMIN or supermod. Apart from that, they gotta be pretty sad...

I voted number 2 as a lot of ex-players have a good insight into the fgame and although they have war monger a bit they do have th eadded bonus of seeing conflicts for what they are

I see what you're saying - but don't entirely agree....

This game has, for some people, been part of their lives (in some cases a big part) for a long time, and so it isn't that simple for people to just completely cut themselves off once they stop playing. Had I not been a forum Admin I would probably still, on occassion, visit the forum - even if it was just to see what the latetst crackpot idea regarding planets was - but I grant you that I wouldn't visit as often as I still do.

Judge each post on it's own merit and if you dont like what's said ignore it.

Non playing posters are no different from anyone else but are better than player with no balls who post with a diferent name :wink:

Thats a good comment about people with forum multies, there's far too many of them. Obviously some are ok, but others obviously enjoy stirring up trouble, I wish I knew who they were so I could start ignoring them properly :P (Ok ok ok... I might mass one in particular first :D )

And I want to make it clear that people who still visit the forums who have constructive and objective comments to make, are more than welcome IMO, ex players who have proven themselves knowledgable and skillful players are also more than welcome. It's the people who like getting a reaction out of others, causing trouble and generally giving their opinions when they are rarely wanted, that annoy me. At the end of the day... these people no longer play, if they have nothing worthwhile to add to the SGW community, then why don't they do something more useful with their time (like watching paint dry).

Tintsel = This wasn't particularily aimed at you, although your cocky comment about how I'm lucky you no longer play is a weak and hollow one, you've nothing to back it up with ;)

Wizard can be seriously annoying at times, but it's certainly not all him either, there are others, I'm not going to go roll calling them all out, thats basically going for personal attacks, and I've no wish to start doing that. My comments, harsh as they may sound to some, can be interpreted however the person reading them wants. If they feel angered by them.... Well there's probably some truth in them then, the truth hurts. If not, then what are they worrying about? :)

My comment may of been cocky, but well deserved. You insulted me by saying "shame you have a worthless account". Maybe you'd like to take this into Quantum then? My comments wouldn't be weak and hollow in their.
