I've seen regular members and moderators alike acting mean and talking down to others like this is the right thing to do (myself included). Am I just crazy, or has this always been the norm? | |

No, you're right. The community has always had an excess of dickheads though. | |

Well, yeah. I've never been big into general discussion threads on most any forum (though I have posted in General Discussion here a few times). I usually join for a specific topic or sub-topic.
Incidentally, this is the first time I've read from you myself. | |

We've always had our share of jerks, but now we're breaking our "douchebag quota". Ironically enough, although this is a site about music games and that inspires elitists, most of the jerk-ass behavior is just generally from people being dicks for no particular reason.
To quote Dewgy, "You know if you want to troll you could at least be funny about it."

I'd much rather people not post out of fear of those things, than to post stupid, inane garbage that doesn't do anything but clog up threads.
You know, like how it was 6 months ago.

The bigger this forum gets, the meaner the community becomes. There's really no way that will ever change since the site is just too big now. As a result, it's lost many potential new members and many regulars alike. | |

There's going to be jerks and people who aren't jerks on every board. Just don't let the former get to you.
