PS: you know nothing about Trees in Egypt And you know nothing About Deserts in Egypt.

AND a "FAKE lie"? -(unlike your TRUE lies of course......) What is that supposed to mean?
In another thread I then see this:
omg , bad to see ya banned LOT.
i never Seen you doing a mistake or Annoy anyone....
thats hard to have a Great player like you banned - who next on ban list ? more Veterans ? waiting
XENON
You see all that? THAT is the problem. The thread had NOTHING to do with you, and so because I dont live in Egypt I know nothing about it? AND your post is not ADDING to the FIRE is it? - Sorry but Im not going to let this lie. The above statement - regardless of the rest of it, is EXACTLY the sort of thing that causes the very thing you say you are not guilty of. - I explained myself AND I even APOLOGISED - something you have NEVER done despite your previous and present bad behavior. Its like trying to debate ethics with a six year old. Its a waste of my valuable time.
Why not just say - "Thank you for your apology"? Oh no - not you. That would mean "loss of face" wouldnt it?
"Stay away from problems.."? You ARE the problem and the sooner people wake up to it the better.
I have been called a RACIST and Im supposed just to let you get away with that? Keep poking the fire mate, Keep poking...
(Taking the advice from some good friends - Mav, Strail, Watchwolf and Wolfie - Im done "talking" here) .

It is in my opinion always better to behave as a mature in a game and always stay calm, simply because it's just a game and it (most of the time) want consider your personal life. Try to stay calm at all times. If something angers you simply SS it and let the community know. Do not release your anger upon the person that annoys you, that is what he/she/it wants.
Games exists for the sole purpose of enjoying people, letting them have fun. Please remember that.

@Xenon:Deep down inside of me I think that you are a good guy it's just that you are taking the crap thrown at you,your clan and clan mates way to serious and sadly you get baited into a flame war very fast and react in an abusive and unmannered way.
And this is not directed only at Xenon as i've seen a lot of unmannered behaivior going on the forums lately (probably in-game aswell)
In the end it's just a game (even though a shooting one) and suppose to be fun for everyone.
Can't we just get along?

GET BACK ON THE PLAYGROUND KIDS!
iv seen more maturity in a 5 year old
Right heres my idea
make a new part of the forum called the "Flame room"
So people can have there mini text wars in that room and it dont even bother anyone else
Also any topics in the "flame room" shouldnt show up on the recent topics
now how about that idea
so the people who have nothing better to do than argue over the internet can have there little play pen
asmo
i dont know about you but im extreamly pissed off with the fact that a decent post like this, with good intentions gets hijacked. But still, good post mate =D>

I must say, I appreciate the cynicism if whoever came up with the 'hot topic' logo for the site's rust theme.
I believe my thoughts on this long-standing issue can be best summarised, as is so often the case, by a Douglas Adams quote:
"people are a problem."
You could make a hundred topics like this filled with all the well-intended constructiveness that this reply is lacking in and I very much doubt it'd change a bloody thing.
To reiterate many of the above posts: Go away and shoot things, the lot of you. It'll make the world a better place.
On an off-topic but slightly more helpful note: Dynasty, what's this 'Void Void' you're claiming to be a proud member of?

Ok this Thred that was supposed to make people think about why they play the game, hand how the act towards other players and are percieved by other players has gone way off course, and almost crashed and burned.
Get back on Topic people or I'm locking what was an excellant thred.

Reading some of the posts here really makes me feel like cr@p. I'm feeling like ranting the living daylights out of a few here, but I won't. Won't get me anywhere. Suffices to say I'm with Dyn here.
In my best effort to keep this post objective, I will take the opportunity to repost my proposition again, in the hope we can reach a solution for this issue together, since this is very clearly something that has been on the minds of the most of us. We all know what the problem is, but like I said in my previous post, it is always the hardest to reach a solution for a problem. My view is that if we don't reach that point, these situations will keep re-appearing, along with its negative atmosphere that has the potential to scare off any new members. Which we don't want now do we?
This will be a simple copy of the related section from my previous post. Judging from the forum rules point of view this is regarded as spamming, and spam posts will be deleted. I will however ask for an exception this time. If it gets deleted any way, no harm done. I'll try it in another way.
[hr]
You get 3 chances. The first time you post a topic that is either insulting, flame-causing, targeted to someone personal in a negative way, or in any other way OBVIOUSLY (from the view of common sense) negatively charged, you get one point on your Avatar, added there by the forum moderators. It could be shown as a little skull or something, I don't know. Maybe just add something like 'first warning' to the account display name. Example: MAVERICK | First Warning. It could also be made in green. Why? Because everyone can make slip-ups and mistakes.
The second time you toss it, you get your second skull or MAVERICK | Second Warning! (maybe displayed in orange) This is your symbolic second warning. Even though this could still be your (second) unintentional slip-up, it leaves no doubt that you will have to be watching yourself on the future.
The third one will get you your third skull (gratz if you get here) or MAVERICK | LAST WARNING! If you screw up after this, you are banned from the forum INDEFINATELY. No excuse possible, no 'other chances'. Over and done with, you had your chances. Goodbye and good riddens.
[hr]
I am really really hoping we can reach a solution for it. If there wasn't potential to solve it, I would leave it at this. But I do think there is a way. Please do feel free to post your view on it.
And please: 'Think Twice' before you post.

Honestly I respect all players. It is a game. Some take it far to seriously unfortunately.
As for the comments and issues directed to hurt feelings, misdirected or not. Are just
really bad morale for the entire community. I do agree that getting along would be the option
as these issues never get solved in text wars, as dynasty suggested a "flaming room"
would be an ideal place to rant if you so felt the desire ever, you know take two steps back and
take some deep breath's before you comment. it would be nice to be
able to post in the void in a friendly and player respected demeanor.
Zebulon (Iain) We are both adults bro, you know what I am saying.
I, (we) need not dwell as we have crossed this bridge in the past.
Perhaps not talking to him, or directing it through another source
would be better for both your blood pressures.
Respect
