EVERYONE: TAKE A CHILL PILL...

April 25, 2003 1:28 PM from

Okay, everyone who's been getting mad, upset, or whatever, please listen up.

1) This forum is for the discussion of skinning and skinning issues. Users can certainly about pretty much anything they like. However, thread hijacking (that is, going into a thread and making completely off topic posts over an dover) is prohibited.

2) Let's try to be NICE to one another. This site is overwhelmingly populated by adults. Let's treat one another with respect and kindness okay? If someone doesn't agree with you, debate is certainly encouraged to a degree. But at a certain point, if you're starting to get angry about it, you know it's time to back off. Whether it be politics or religion or whatever, it's not like any of us are overlords of the universe who get to set universal policy.

3) Melodrama. One of the things I've seen lately is an increase in melodramatic behavior. The forum shouldn't be used as an outlet for one's psychosis or histrionics. If someone wants to create a thread about something completely off the wall, that's fine. But personal emotional melodrama getting interjected into other people's topics must cease now.

I will not be exiling people for violating this. Instead, I will be setting people's access to visitor which essentially removes their ability to post.

Let's get back to talking about fun, interesting stuff in the world of skinning, customziation, computers, technology, whatever okay?

Thanks!

Brad Wardell
CEO of Stardock & WinCustomize

Yes, and the snide remarks that everyone makes is getting very annoying. You may think you are trying to be funny or witty but really you are not. Its just childish. So hopefully this will stop too!

Totally agree with Brad. No sence of getting 'heated' over issues that really dont amount to anything positive. Specially when this issues have no direct affect on our lives.
I rather devote my time and effort on creating art

I agree with the rules set by WC. I just wanted to get that straight, because I recently commented on a wallpaper, and unintentionally hurt someones feelings. I really didn't mean to either. I am just not that kind of a person and never have been. In retrospect, I now wish that I have kept it to myself, because it is really bothering me that I upset someone. I have a feeling that this thread is all because of that... maybe not, I don't know. But to anyone that I may have upset or made angry please believe me when I say "I'm sorry"

river, this thread is not about you in particular. (Perhaps you've missed the other threads prompting this.) As for your other concern, I somehow suspect the outcome may not have been really your responsibility either. History and histrionics repeated after time lends perspective. Just play nice and don't worry about it.

So, is this to be declared a Drama Queen Free Zone?

we must proceed with caution. if we establish here that artists can behave themselves, then 10,000 years of conventional wisdom will be shattered.

thank you for the thread, Brad.

Bangkokman didn't have a nice ring to it - sounded like something Louis Leakey dug up with a shovel.

Acually River, this thread is probably aimed at people like me. i hope people here realize I have changed my ways. WC is the only site I actually look forward to viewing everyday. So Frogboy: I took what you said to heart. Only time can tell you guys how it affected me. You will all see I play nice now.

We have had a lot of people getting hurt by a number of thread here, and some really good people leaving (or wanting to - elfkura, if you haven't already reconsidered, please stay).

Note the sig in the message - the green one isn't leaving any doubt about whether he is serious!

Thanks Brad
