Well everybody, I would like to start by saying this isn’t good bye…Yet.
After being here with this community for nearly a year, I can honestly say that the last 4 months here for me were unpleasant. I have noticed a major uproar of recasting, horrible behavior from SOME members, both new and old, and an extreme amount of hot headed noobs coming into the halo costuming community. I have been able to put up with this up to this point, but enough is enough. This once great, welcoming community has changed into a horrid, unsightly forum. Although there are sill a few nice, contributing members here, I am sure I speak for most of them when I say this is just ridiculous.
After contributing a fairly large amount of time AND effort into helping out the noobs, I have lost it. I have simply lost the will to put up with this ridiculous crap that has been going around lately. The constant bashing of members, both new and old. The disrespect, the lack of most new members not reading any stickies or tutorials, and then asking for help. The new members have to understand that you have to work for respect, for props, and for the know how to make the props. You can’t simply expect to join and somehow know how to do everything. You have to work for it.
I remember what it was like my first couple of weeks here. It was sort of scary thinking I had no talent and no know-how. I just calmed down, and read the stickies. Apparently, this common knowledge has nearly disappeared.
The disrespect that has been going around against mods and members, both new and old has just been terrible. Everybody here has to remember, the mods here moderate 100% voluntarily. They put up with out crap for free! Respect and honor them for that! The experienced older members are also here 100% voluntarily. We put up with peoples questions with as much grace as humanly possible. The newer members picking on the other newer members, its just terrible. Just because of somebody’s views on things are different, or somebody gives somebody the wrong answer to a question gives nobody any right to flame them for it!
The recasting is simply beyond bad. Multiple members have left because of it, and they were extremely skilled. I know this is beyond a lot of peoples reach, but you can prevent recasting. Simply don’t sell to members you don’t trust. Check through their contributions to the community BEFORE selling them the item. Remember, recasting is bad, unless you are given permission by the creator of the original prop, or ‘master’.
Also these “witch hunts” people have been going on against recasters, please stop. Remember, everybody is innocent until proven guilty.
So, although I am not leaving let, if this keeps up, I will have no choice but to leave.
Everybody, just remember what the 405th stands for; Honor, Armor, Unity.
(Taken from the ‘Have a Question? Don’t Bother With a Thread” thread.)
So everybody, please follow those 3 main guidelines. We have already lost many members to things like recasting, disrespect, and flaming. Lets try and not loose another.
With regards,
Jake.
