Just a heads-up to every Guild out there

I see we have another positive addition to the forum who adds sunshine and wise advice.

 

Oh, Happy Day!

 

Yawn...I'll warm up the popcorn maker

 

I don't think the problem is "somebody tried to take my pirates". Seriously, I can't see anybody buying into this - it's a lousy approach. Maybe if you're the type of person who believes that it's a real deal when you get a spam call telling you you've won a free cruise and all you need to do is give your credit card details for a "security deposit". But it's annoying and spamming up the game for others is really bad form, and a few bad apples can make the overall game experience worse for everyone. So what's wrong with calling the spammers out so everyone can know exactly who they are?

Don't like it, don't spam.

 

I complained when a few members tried to poach my guild members thru forum private messages. This approach, while marginally more creative, is not much different.

I suspect the devs would consider this pretty blatant abuse of the guild system. I know I'd report anyone joining my guild to do this, and I expect many other guilds would do the same. So, something to consider.

 

I guess the idea of registering in our own private forum and applying prior to even applying to our guild online was a good idea to prevent this from happening

Just our 2cp

 

Oh goodie. I was starting to worry about the level of negativity slowing recently.

 

Is this preschool? Go tattle tell? Lmao either your young or really soft at heart. Either way go pick some daisy's then.

 

Actually, if you'd bothered to look, I'm older than you. I just have a low tolerance for idiots.

Pirate game or not, this is a community with rules and etiquette, all clearly spelled out on this forum and in the game. If someone manipulates the system to disrupt my guild and waste my members' time, hell yes I'm going to say something about it.

Every damn time.

 

Older makes your the better person makes sense.

 

We get those Chinese chaps come along to lose to there own guild then leave just as bad imho.

 

Oh I thought I would post again as there are only 20 of us here that post so I am keeping my end up........

 

It's the same posters saying same thing still lol ,you eat a lot of popcorn you lush lol. Too bad this game isn't as fun as forum, they post in your guild who cares if anyone leaves heck it's because they weren't happy anyways. Happens a lot . post about it im sure midoki will change things right after the rank loop hole... I hear the new Clash of Clans is going to out do PP



The real actions in LINE app chat with thousands of players who don't bother with this lil forum community. Now pour a drink for everyone Blackish beard. Cheers. Oh and United post where you want when you want ..bring it .

Lol it really is the same 6 or 7 liking each others post

 

Thanks Tim. Honored to make the list I also have one of those, so I hope to return the favor soon.

Yes, it is! That's partly because those people are longtime members who consistently post quality info that benefits the aforementioned community. Some of those people are even likeable.

 

Trolling isn't quality info. Constantly hijacking threads isn't either.

 

I think Oak Doak wins the award for that in this thread. These other posts you call trolling, I call valid responses.

 

Popping my popcorn
I love it when power monkeys who have been on the forum a few days try to tell a Captain how to better run a forum.
This should be fun.
For noobs they are hacking off all the right people.
(kicking back in my chair, waiting on the boom)

 

Hey, let me get a bowl of that! *Kicks back also*
Another thing the noobs failed to grasp: Captains are captains precisely because we (well, me anyway) like to get in the last word.

I'm not sure if the anticipated boom will materialize here. It's hard to sustain an argument when one party clearly doesn't grok the concept of online community, much less rules and etiquette. I look at it this way: If someone really believes that running into random houses and screaming "HEY GRANDMA! BUY MY CRAPPY PRODUCT!" is acceptable behavior...there's usually not much hope of reasoning with them.
