Some control over regulars?

wat how comei didnt know that

Imagine that we have two threads with similar topics, one older than the other. Wether the topics are similar enough to deserve merging is really subjective and I don’t think we can set an outline to follow in this regard. Of course, this can always be discussed in the new thread, with someone presenting the old thread to the OP, and that’s what I’ve been doing most of the times I see this situation occur.

But let’s say we all agree that the topics are similar enough, we’d still need to ask ourselves if merging the new thread with the old one won’t desincourage conversation, my main concern with very few examples of @Nevov’s merging (emphasis on “very few”, his work has been stellar for the majority of his time as a leader, definitely better than @Shatter) (and, even in the cases where I think he did wrong, we can never be sure if conversation was desincouraged, as he himself reminded me). My thought process for merging threads that I already deemed to be of similar enough topics, if I could do it, would be:

  • If both threads are active, merge the new one with the old one. In these forums, that’s where most of the merging examples already fall into;

  • If the new thread is active and the old one is inactive, leave them be;

  • If the new thread is inactive and the old one is active, merge the new one with the old one;

  • If both threads are inactive, merge the new one with the old one.

Of course, we’d need to define what is an active thread, but I’m sure we can reach a consensus. Maybe after a month has passed without new posts we could call a thread inactive? Or maybe we could leave the auto-closing of @System to be the sign of true inactivity?

Hes a leader why does everyone refer to him as a regular?

#27

we’re all in the same boat
plus @Nevov is kool beans

Nevov [merging, can you chill a bit?]
#28

He closes slits and merges so much…why…he even did himself in…

I like your swift movements…but can you chill like a little bit

#29

Yeah, sorry, I’ve now hidden that false topic I started, so you don’t need to see it cluttering up your Bugs Forum view.

I failed in searching for a Marks topic, and only found it after I posted my thread, if I had found it I’d have just posted a straight reply on there instead of even creating my own topic. But we can’t delete a whole topic, so merge was the only option.

Don’t know if you saw, but Deca’s Dev Krathan did post a clarification on the patch notes including mentioning Shaitan, so if it helped clarify the picture, then was worthwhile to have raised the issue.

@Nevov please make a thread called “Realmeye Fourms” and merge every other thread into that.

#31

@Nevov this

#32

You people need to chill the fuck out. Like people are putting up with your bs right now.

Stop being dicks.

You two aren’t exactly fucking saints so why not look at yourselves before calling out someone working on making these forums tolerable from your trashy posts?

#33

Jesus Christ, if you don’t know its a joke then I question your intelligence. Do you really need someone to tell you its a joke?

You need to stop being uptight taking a gaming forum as serious as a life or death situation. Here’s a suggestion: when you see something that’s not practical or true, don’t take it seriously. It’s that simple.

I don’t know about XIYANGYANG, but I honestly think Nevov is doing a great job.

#34

Oh I’m sorry it’s so easy to read your sarcasm in the comment.

Read the tone of the thread. Then yor comment. Does it really convey any sort of intent at sarcasm?

#35

In case you didn’t notice, I’m not XIYANGYANG, and I don’t share the same view as him. I’m fine with Nevov merging threads.

How about you stop thinking it was sarcasm, because I’m not using a sarcastic tone. It’s a joke, and it is easy to figure that out since obviously Nevov is not going to merge everything in one topic. If you couldn’t figure that out then you really do need help.

#36

Cool.

Edit :
@UniqueOryx I apologize for the outburst. It was triggered more by the other person. You were just joking, and I’m sorry for raging on you.

#37

Or are you?

#38

No problem, no hard feelings.

*notices the opportunity*

Oh yes, I admit it, @XIYANGYANG is one of my mules. Moderators, please ban @XIYANGYANG for alt boxing, thank you.

#39

Wait so that means…we were all DreadDrake all along? So DreaDrake has been alt boxing on xiyangyang, bookbookbo and you? UMG I wonder who else is DreadDrkae? What if everyone, including all the mods are all DreadDrakes Alts???

#40

Why do you derail your own threads…

#41

The mods really do give you special treatment, it’s sad really

#42

Even MORE proof that the mods are just DreaDrakes alts! Wait…that would mean…since the mods are all better than DreadDrake…that means DreadDrkae is someone’s alt?

#43

I really wonder how many banned accounts it will take for you to stop coming to the forums :thinking:
