The Consolation Corner
Posted: Thu Jul 28, 2011 6:39 pm
Since we've been seeing so many threads about how people have been griefed/missed a time/etc lately, a number of us decided that it was about time we just got a thread for it all. That way, the forums will not be clogged, for lack of a better term, with threads all about the same thing. Hopefully, this will help improve the quality of life here on the Petopia forums and help ease some of the tension here.
We had contemplated letting the Moderator account make this, but people pointed out that it was time we take things into our own hands. This thread is located in pet discussion due to the fact that the stories here will generally not include the pets actually being tamed, due to the nature of the thread. Much like the magic pets thread, this is not a place to relate how you tamed your pet, but instead a place to vent your frustrations about why you didn't.
This thread is not only for the 4.2 rares, though you are of course welcome to vent about them here as well. This is, instead, a place for venting about all rares (and, should you really want, other types of griefing).
In fact, this thread will probably be much like the rant thread of pets. And, as I'm sure you can tell by the name, we will try our best to console you over your losses. Some of you may just want to get the pain off your chest, some of you may want a shoulder to cry on. Either way, we're here for you!
Because this thread is so similar to the rant thread in basic idea, I am going to snatch the rules off that thread and dump them here as well, though they will be somewhat edited to fit this specific thread and new rules may have to be made for this thread in particular. If anyone has a problem with this, please PM me and I will talk to Mania about making completely different (yet similar) rules specifically for this thread.
The Rules of the Consolation Corner:
Don't argue. This is a thread for sharing frustrations, not for debate.
Don't derail. Though we can often get off track while discussing things, especially when we're discussing thing we're passionate about, please remember what this thread is for. Discussions not having to do with the topic of the thread should be moved over to PMs.
Don't rant about people or situations on this forum. (If you need to do that, feel free to PM me. I can always listen to a good rant.)
Hopefully this rule won't be too necessary, but remember not to blame the hunter community as a whole! Of course, this also includes blaming whole guild or servers. Remember: it is the individual who has caused you pain and, no matter how many individuals seem to do it, there's always someone out there who'd rather help you than hurt you! And, as much as we might hate the other faction and want to crush them all into the ground, remember that there are also people on that side who'd help you if given the chance!
Don't name and shame.
I replaced the last rule of the Rant thread with a general forum rule. I think it'll be good to have that reminder sitting there. Of course, PMing me about rants is perfectly fine. I'd like to assume that there are a number of people who'd be fine with being PMed about rants, but I don't want to be rude.
Anyway, have at it guys. Let's start filling up these pages with venting and ranting and start getting the board willed with other things instead!
If there is anything you believe needs to be changed about this thread, please feel free to PM me about it.(: Also, expect this post to get edited a lot. It's a work-in-progress!
