community's intolerance

[RickJames]

I try and help people all the time.

I try and talk with folks privately.

I try and gather data on what is going on and why.

I also file sanction reports on a weekly basis.

I think more people should try and be helpful instead of just trying to get others in trouble.

However, I also think more people should write sanction reports instead of doing absolutely nothing or worse, whining about it in game for hours or days or starting flame threads.

Submitting a sanction report, at least for me, is a release. I do my best to resolve something in game, if it doesn't work I submit a sanction report. Once the sanction report is in thats it. I'm done. I do not let the issue bother me anymore. Either something gets done about it or it doesn't. If I didn't take the time or have the wisdom to get screens then I blame myself and that also is the end of it.

To many people do nothing all the time. It makes them bitter and resentful. It leads to arguing and flaming for days and weeks and months. There are numerous feuds in the community that have gone on forever, if those people had just gotten evidence and followed procedure instead of taking things so uber personally I think this place would be a whole lot better. I try hard to not let that happen and I feel sanction reports are helpful in that way.

Don't be hating on people who follow procedure and report rule breakers. You should focus your attention on the apathetic lazy people that sit around and do nothing but complain and whine day in and day out.
