Thoughts about talking about non-Snap! programming on this forum

As well as posing himself as an infallible voice in an area where most of us (seem to be) against his view.

And repeatedly doing so on the same post after told it was fine and not too only to carry it on here.

There is no need to pile on. You can add your voice to this discussion without being rude, or outright mean.

I've had a post flagged before, and I can tell you that the mods talk to you, telling you your mistake. If you're confused, you can ask them (privately) why your post was flagged, and they'll tell you why.

Yeah. My point is that many people respond to their post being flagged on the same topic, typically saying things like "OH MY GOD WHYD U FLAG MY POST". Which is not a productive addition to the conversation (obviously).

Can you stop telling people to minimize or terminate the amount of non-Snap! related comments or topics or whatever sh#t but still do so?

Like bruh, you keep saying "Stop posting unnecessary comments" yet post unnecessary comments about not posting unnecessary comments! What irony! You made me spit my drink and break my keyboard, man.

(And yes, you heard me. But I did redact my words. If the majority of the Snap! Forums users flag this, I'll be happy to change it.)

Also,

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Refer to this post:

or this one (This post should be in the Feature Requests category):

But most importantly, you should really ask yourself this question:

I've quoted this post many times from your previous posts about you telling others to stop posting off-topic posts. And you didn't listen. This has been your 3rd off topic post about posting off-topic stuff. So please stop.

And to think that you all doubted me when I said

and you guys said

https://forum.snap.berkeley.edu/t/reduce-the-amount-of-off-topic-chit-chat/11087/13

This is the part where I shout out "I told you so" or "I was right" or something, I don't know. So if you may...deep inhale

I TOLD YOU SO
I WAS RIGHT

… sigh. Yes, off-topic posts exist, and sure, it should be discussed, but only in one or two places. I agree.

However, that doesn’t mean you get to yell (essentially) or make blanket statements. I didn’t- and still don’t doubt- the existence of spam about stopping spam. I’m not saying that to earn brownie points, or something of that nature. Most of the things you said are accurate, but again, yelling that you were correct is not a great way to get people to actually think about what you said and (maybe) come around. It really just makes people madder. Which, yes, is a problem in and of itself, but is more of a problem with people themselves than with the forum, or its topics, etc.


EDIT (specifically for slate): Regarding the “yeah slate needs to chill” posts (and things of that nature) I regret to inform you that you do have a track record of being un-chill (and sometimes inflammatory. Your post feels inflammatory.) so people may say things like that. It might just be something you need to work on. That’s fine; nobody’s perfect; but it does take credibility and sense away from your post: starting with a good point, but branching off to a tangent about how this problem is so so so specific to you and nobody believed you and see this is where we are now, yadda yadda yadda.

Yeah, so what? You realize the moderators have to review the comments and reasons for reporting before flagging or hiding the comment? And thus, saying that "the forums have a flagging system and so we can all flag comments so that they get deleted" will never be a viable option.

Don't think you said that? Take a listen, mate.

And trust me, the moderators do look at the stuff. It's not just a robot that hides or deletes the post after it has been flagged. One time, I was in an argument with @helicoptur about AI programming in Snap! and stuff, and so I was being stupid (like you in this post) and flagged his posts, thinking flagging would be an option to solve the conflict. Guess what? @bh commented like a few minutes later saying to us "Instead of flagging each other's posts, why can't you guys just solve the problem?" which is proof that the moderators DO have to review the posts.

Imagine this: you're a moderator, and there are 1,000 posts flagged every hour. I mean, the other moderators can review them, but if there are only a few 10 moderators, including you, then you'll have to review 100 posts in said hour before a NEW wave of flagged posts are coming! You might as well just quit on the spot, right?

Granted, off-topic comments and statements are things us humans like to compose, so why can't you just let it be? Just stop telling us off!

Because if you complain about Scratch Team banning you on the forums the same way someone would complain about other websites banning you, you'll get banned for being a crybaby. We all know that. We know that we could easily get banned by doing that, and that's the reason why we don't talk about that type of stuff.

NOT BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO BE OFF-TOPIC, RANT ALL DAY, AND SLOWLY LOSE BRAINCELLS UNTIL OUR IQ IS AS HIGH AS A SEA PLANKTON!

Um...do you see anyone saying that?...

I am sorry to say the this, but no one agrees. It's the truth after all, that no one agrees with you.

The world's been changed man. Since the international pandemic, people have gotten more and more condescending on the internet, even here. Hell, even you're being condescending by making bold claims.

sighs I guess I'll get banned for the 14 billionth time on the Forums by making these posts. So goodbye?...I'll see you in a few days after I get unbanned. I mean, I'm not banned currently. But...

hey, for the record, i had your back

Alright, let’s stop nailing @cymplecy, @bh, sorry for the ping, but topic close? Also cymplecy please do not make a topic like this any time soon and think before you post.

Oh, yeah.

Well I guess someone didn't doubt me.

Before this closes, I’d like to say just a few more things?

There isn’t evidence to show Cymplecy didn’t think? Obviously, because they wrote a whole post about it, they knew what they were doing. That is an objective statement.

Final message specifically to slate:
I said it already. I feel like I need to say it again. Your posts are coming off as rude, sarcastic, and downright mean. Just because someone did something you don’t like doesn’t mean you can be this condescending to them. (Also- this isn’t the first time this has happened.) It doesn’t add anything helpful to the conversation and just makes you seem like a bad person. Please stop.

I mean think about if the post is necessary, on topic, and is not spam.

yes this post is nesesary and shouldnt be closed bcz its important

I tried to post an image of sonic but there is an error that says you cant embed media from other websites. can a Snap Developer remove that error?

why i cant embed media from other websites?

Oh my god. It's common sense. If anything, let the mods handle these types of off-topic problems.

Are you meaning to say you agree with @cymplecy?

We all have been mentioning the fact that this post is unnecessary. So if anything, I'm not the only person. I mean, I may be the only person who's being OVERLY mean, but still! Why just me?

EDIT: Now that I think of it, you're kinda right. However, if I'm being mean, chances are they are facts. Let's face the facts from now on-

and why does everybody make me eat my own words? I think there should be a TV show about that somewhere.

why do people keep thinking im a dev?

...anyway just download the image first, then you can drag / drop the file into the comment box, or, alternatively, click here:

and itll open up a file browser where you can choose an attachment. your needing to download it first probably has less to do with snap and more to do with the various security issues that come along with sharing resources between different websites.
