I should rant too, as a frequent user.

Now, let's start with back in 2014. It had less drama, but because there was LESS USERS. It was more peaceful than late 2015, where it was going downhill. How is this relevant, may you ask? Well, I expected a change. More enforcing rules, because of an upcoming influx of users. It happens, and I accept it. In fact, chat/forums are places to make friends. But somehow, it went downhill fast, as a rollercoaster. I don't know what caused it, but people have gone mad. With drama, ofcourse. So here we are, having to deal with senseless drama.

Now let's talk about solutions. Let's start with chat, I go there more often.

1.) You need to chill. Assess the situation. Try to comprehend what the other person is implying. Is it an insult? A sarcastic comment? A compliment, maybe? If we can do that, we can prevent useless drama of misunderstanding.

2.) If a troll comes, PLEASE IGNORE HIM. He is trying to get attention by saying offensive things, but try not to put your feelings first. Observe his behavior. Is he insulting everyone in the chat? Is he seemingly purposely invading? If we can all ignore him, he has nothing to do and leave. If we show valid proof to someone higher-ranking than us (moderators, administrators, etc.) then the situation would be closed.

3.) i like trains

Forums:

The stuff stated above applies, if the things can actually be applied.

Those are my thoughts. It's simple, but I have way more. I could write a book's worth of text on this very subject.

TL;DR: read it you lazy slob
