No one is forcing you to do anything. I asked a question and if other people do not want to partake in the conversation or want to defend their behavior, that is on them.
Honestly, for someone who's so easily upset by "rudeness", your posts sound rather rude & defensive too as soon as someone disagrees with you ...
I havent even went into describing any of the behaviors or things that i have noticed. Just seeing if others notice the same thing. I didn't even know there was an ignore feature lol.
Im not about to argue with you Have a nice afternoon.
The slower EA is being at releasing new packs the more bad tempered the forum becomes as Simmers get bored. It is that sort of game!
It looks like maybe , some people are offenders and usually rude and have cliques on here. Then once you talk about certain things on here they show up, even though they are never around when you make positive posts about fun related sims 4 stuff
Before I give you the answer, just a piece of info: an active post appears on top, that doesn't mean people are following you around (and, again, if you don't ever want anyone to disagree with you, maybe don't open threads with purposefully inflammatory questions).
Here's how it works: go to a simmer's page, like mine, and click on the ignore button top right. Have fun
It's not as if it didn't come from both sides. Both groups do it. It's accusing only one side of doing it and denying that the other side does it too that isn't very nice... But I don't feel like there are many people doing that on either side. More than 90% of the time, all I'm seeing is constructive criticism (= opinions with solid arguments). That or I'm missing plenty of threads, or I need to change my glasses.

You can ignore people in your "preferences" and you will only see their comments afterwards if someone else quotes them as I have quoted you.
You will see that they have commented though as their names appear in a lighter shade listed in the forum between un-ignored Simmers.
I did ignore a lot of Simmers in the past but have un-ignored them as I got a bit bored with too much positivity!
I just want to know how other people are feeling and doing on here, which is why I asked the question. I understand how the internet works, you do not have to try to talk down on anyone else. It's just weird when a particular person never comments or has anything to say on the positive/fun threads you create, but when there is a opportunity to argue about something, that same person is right there , front and center. Again, never present when the thread is a positive conversation. But thanks for telling me how to use the ignore feature
Hi
Maybe they're being Courteous to the positive topic but have an Opinion they want to share in the other* topic. I find that... a good thing. It's What I Do.
I would rather someone not engage with me , if they are only going to do it to be negative Of course have an opinion or whatever, but don't try to "flame war" someone
And i doubt that person is trying to be courteous at all, when they never are anyway
Yes, you can't allow rude bullies to ruin anything for you, I think thats what most of them want anyway
Who are you referring to? Because I comment plenty on positive threads, too, even though it might've escaped your attention
Then that's on you. You project and they become a "Troll" to you. (because to me, if they haven't gone in a Happy Topic then they are being courteous- imo).
I see several people who only post "positive" topics on TS4 and yet will drool with "hate" at the mention of it's shortcomings or of it being compared to any other Sims series. I don't see them as anything more then... scared.
TIL that "🐸🐸🐸🐸" isn't a kind of "plum" here.
Ha. Now it is some of the time? Ok then.
Sorry I can't allow this statement to go unchallenged.
I won't go into a long diatribe outlining my personal experience since I've been back, but suffice to say every negative encounter I've had out here has come at the hands of the same little clique of people.
There is most definitely an agressor in this little turf war they've created, and they seem to be under the impression that if you aren't with them then you're against them.
My advice is stop answering back to those who are experts at it.
Nowhere have I said that I wanted everyone to "agree with me". Thats part of what I am talking about. Just making up words that werent said.
I agree. If you're not with them then your Against them in TS4.
I've had many encounters from these aggressors and I'm guessing it's not the same ones* you're referring to. So, it IS On All. No matter if you call it a side. If it's not agreed with then it's tried to be Stomped on from so many who feel anything not happy is "Troll." You can't say it's not that way and yet it's not only from a few.
....
At least the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 come in different flavors so they can all swim in their little groups. :P:
You're right. There are definitely cliques here,its not hard to notice .
What they came to the TS3 forum on a dialy basis for two years running to tell you what a lousy game TS3 is?
Then we disagree. I read it as that you are in fact saying "Do you feel like that there is a lot of rudeness here (like me).." is implied but not actually said.
I'm sorry but that is what I feel. I don't like this type of fishing post anyway and assumed you were new to the Forums.
Please do not reply as I will not be reading it.
