I'm new, Been here 1 week. I came on here for some help on Gears 3 on the 360 boards and stayed for the pie on SW's. Now i like this place but i noticed several things.

1) everyone claims that because im new that i am a troll.

2) If people disagree with you they class you as a fanboy.

3) People call you stupid in every single sentence when disagreeing with you.

4) when you prove your point on any topic people become abusive and do severe damage control.

Does this change at any point or will i get constantly labelled as such things and keep getting abuse / damage control against me to the extent that i'm currently getting?!

Theirs more questions i wanted to ask about SW's but knowing my luck i will get called a *TROLL* yet again lol.

Everyone has to go through the intiation period. Even I suffered the same time period at one time. Once you get to level 20 though, you'll start being accepted.

Everyone was a level 1 poster at a time, who people never took seriousy. However I suggest you watch out for the many designated cows and lemmings who roam these plains and will guard their pride with their death.

1) Will disappear with time.

2) Like everyone of us here it must be true, you are a fanboy.

3) That's because you're probably a dumbass.

4) Everyone here uses logic, or at least that is what everyone of us believes.

This will end once you grow in levels.

Never changes.

These are the actual trolls for the most part, best ignored.

You have to realize: There have been so many thousands of low-level uber-trolls that vets on here are always on the lookout. It's like an jerk reaction now. Honestly, this thread does wonders for proving your credibility :) ...but your still wrong about Halo :P

You may be in what is called an initiation phase.

Basicly, you get treated like dirt until one of the following conditions are met.

  1. Your level reaches a certain point
  2. People know who you are and respect you (this can be hard)
  3. Your post count reaches a certain ammount.

The reason for this initiation phase is because of the high ammount of alts and trolls. Many forum communities have this, especially more negative ones. Systems like this help weed out the trolls and those faint of heart.

Yeah i guessed that but i dont make constant threads about dumb stuff so that should be more credibility than what my level says. Ohhh im not, i got you people talking which was the aim of the comments. I've seen the threads on other boards and seen how it goes constantly.

Don't let it get to you TC, there's been a massive influx of alt account posting here in the past few weeks so that's why people may tend to think you're a troll, it will stop eventually.

It's the internet.

It's best to laugh at people who rage at you, and counter-troll them until they go overboard and get suspended/banned.

It works. Trust me.

No worries, I think its all having a discussion. It just that more was needed to fuel the fire. On topic: I thought that most people was in some variation of a clique. I didnt mind too much about the abuse as it find it funny but it just seemed every comment which aimed at me was based around the 4 point i put up.

I'm new, Been here 1 week. I came on here for some help on Gears 3 on the 360 boards and stayed for the pie on SW's. Now i like this place but i noticed several things.

Hello, good to have you on board.

1) everyone claims that because im new that i am a troll.

It's mainly because people here gets an influx of low level trolls that really desensitizes people around here.

2) If people disagree with you they class you as a fanboy.

Welcome to System Wars!

3) People call you stupid in every single sentence when disagreeing with you.

I try to avoid this but if you write a statement that is clearly wrong "i.e PC has worse graphics than a PS2" or hypocritical "i.e Picking on the Wii's graphics then turning around to say graphics don't matter in another thread."

Like I don't care if you think graphics don't matter or justify the cost of a PC, or that the Wii has terrible graphics etc (frankly it does in the technical aspect) but if you go into double standards people will call you out on this.

4) when you prove your point on any topic people become abusive and do severe damage control.

That's the fun part of System Wars, watching fanboys go into some form of hysterical babbling.

Does this change at any point or will i get constantly labelled as such things and keep getting abuse / damage control against me to the extent that i'm currently getting?!

Theirs more questions i wanted to ask about SW's but knowing my luck i will get called a *TROLL* yet again lol.

so asking questions equates to crying?! Weird logic but okkk..... I guess you are like the grumpy old person of the boards who goes on about the good ol days in 97 when the final fantasy 7 was just released.

For the first one, stay here a while and prove you're not a troll. For the rest if you want to stay here you'll most likely just have to get over it.
