I don't get why people are complaining that watching their sims knit would be boring. Who knows? Maybe they'll really up the action and give our sims the option to watch paint dry. That'll be a blast too. Watching our sims stare at a wall, just wondering "is it dry yet?" Seriously, if you're happy that is great for you,…
This makes me think of a hipster troll. Living under a bridge because he's a non-conformist, wearing skinny jeans and drinking a soy latte complaining about how all the people who cross his bridge are just doing it to be "cool."
I think you hit the biggest problem on the head. Threads with negative opinions get moved to feedback frequently. Now we take away the ability to anonymously disagree with something so people are forced to either declare their disagreement publicly and risk being targeted (for either harassment or being labeled a bully) or…
Your sim will still get pregnant without the test. The test lets you find out sooner. That way if you really want them to have a baby you can get to trying again faster.
Since I cannot quote you for some reason, @Scobre I can only say that I'm 100% with you on everything you posted. The angry poop, pee like a champ, pre-woohoo cheer make me want to slap myself. I usually take everything sarcastically though. If I'm having a bad day then I might think it's serious. I joke a lot so I have…
Humor is highly subjective. What you may find to be obviously not funny I might think is absolutely hysterical. Doesn't mean that either of us is wrong.
I have an issue here. What if I were to make a post that says "I have no friends on here...much like in real life." Can you tell if I'm joking or being serious? No. Does that mean that if my post makes people laugh, that they need to hold in their laughter/show no signs of appreciation for my post because there is a minute…
It also doesn't really stop trolling anyway. Someone gave The example of someone making a post about a relative's death or having to go to the hospital...wouldn't the "awesome" button be more upsetting than "disagree" in those cases?
I remember reading that too. If it is true (and although I would like to hope it isn't) it's absolutely awful. It causes fear and paranoia within the community. People shouldn't be afraid that they must hold their opinions close to their chest lest they be banned. We are divided enough without some simmers acting like…
What about cases where somebody has already explained why they disagree more eloquently than you (general)? You can (well, could) hit disagree and then like that post. Are we supposed to just quote the post that we agree with each time? Don't you feel like it would be more annoying have 5 people post the exact same thing…
Harassing someone because they're new has always made me upset. Yes, they could be a troll. They could also be someone who is genuinely new to the game. It is terrible to think that people are being treated poorly simply because they have a new account. Trolls out themselves eventually. Give new members a chance, people.
Ok, here are some logical reasons why those buttons may have been pushed. For your first example: Someone may be reading the post on their phone and accidentally hit LOL when scrolling. Someone doesn't understand the general meaning of LOL Someone may think that the manner in which the post was written was actually funny…
I agree that none of us are in the heads of the gurus either. I know you never said that people don't have the right to disagree and I'm sorry if something I said made you feel like I was implying that. That being said it bothers me that buttons were taken away because of a perceived slight on one end. It bothers me that…
But as several people have pointed out, the gurus are not in the heads of the simmers. They can suspect that people are abusing the buttons based on the situation, but without knowing what caused the person to hit the button they can never be certain.
I agree with that too. I also think that if someone can't handle a negative response to what they post, then they shouldn't post. Not everyone thinks alike, not everyone agrees, and that is okay. If we all agreed on everything this world would be an extremely boring place. Disagreeing allows for new ideas to be spread.…
I have met a few people in real life that do that. The ones that I've met were not mentally well. I don't know about the people who do it on the internet. It could be that they feel they don't have many people in their regular lives that they can talk to, and the internet provides them with some caring and kind souls. I…
