and then there is people like me who try to keeps the negativity to myself and attempts to refrain from posting my cynical and sarcastic views since i know some people are just plain weak willed, melodrama queens and kings, whiny babies, abusive of reading only what they want to read.
Unless you make a thread asking for opinions and stuff. then don't be shocked when u don't like what u get, which is usuallly a lighthearted joker version because i dont like taking things too seriously for too long, im here for fun dammit
Don't show too much empathy that u end up being overly sensitive for other people, learn to toughen up a bit for one self. learn to simply leave and ignore.
You're right on point with spreading ++++ , fight - with + so don't lower urself because then u temporarily or permanently lose respect from others
as for this suicide guy person thing, if i was around when it was posted i would have simply ignored the thread and not say anything at all because he came to the wrong place if he was serious and if he was joking then he shouldve fucked off to take his bullshit somewhere else
im too skeptical to take that stuff seriously
but most of all
im here for fun, i dont care much for the soap opera channel of steamgifts pfft
like how the thread title made me remember this one set of mail opener's that caught my eye because it was silly

You made me smile. That's a good thing.
I mean...I think you're funny and maybe a bit naieve unfortunately. (I say naieve cause I have doubts if people can and will follow the advice) But it's good advice and judging from what you tend to write you seem to have a good heart.
That's a good thing and you are appreciated, mr positive. Keep it up. Hopefully the amount of positivity here can grow.
And I'll admit I love trolling, and I can be quite negative and cynical. But it shoudn't be too much at someone's expense and that's a very hard balance to keep. I'm sure I'll make some sarcastic comment or parody or cross the line at your expense at some point. If/when that happens, please know it won't be personal. And feel free to call me out in case it happens. Because I do believe you're a good guy, and this was a good post/thread you made. Kudos for you.

There's a big difference between harmless trolling/playful teasing and being just mean, annoying or disrespectful though.
You don't give me the impression of being an asshole, so I'm pretty sure you're fine. :)

One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.
or
One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.I think people should behave according to the golden rule and it would be much better here.

I don't have time to read the entire thread since I'm in class, but I'd like to think I adhere to the main post. I'll post this as a reminder to read it when I have more time.
What I do feel disappointed in is that for me it feels like "SG drama" is mimicking the drama on YouTube (by some of the YouTubers I watch/watched). I know it is unrelated but it's hard to enjoy something because of that type of drama.

I haven't been on SG for that long, but I still noticed an increase in drama since I started on this site. Thank you for addressing it and creating this thread. even if it doesn't help much, it may serve as a reminder to some who need that wake up call.

The forums have gotten negative? I haven't noticed anything. Also, I am just a really long term lurker.

Very nice words. I try to follow your rules as much as possible, and I believe this would be an even better community if all users carefully considered your post. Thanks! :D

First question doesn't accept "show boobs" as an answer :\ It's scientifically proven that they make everyone happier
humour and jokes should be the 3.5th on your list :) makes you feel better or to deal with the unpleasant

Good afternoon everyone! Well, it's afternoon here anyways! :)
I've popped in and out over the past few months and I've noticed an overall negativity surrounding the forums when I visited. I wanted to share a few thoughts with you all in hopes that it will help us treat one another better and hopefully, with more love and kindness. The one thing we all have in common is our mutual love of this great website and we have the ability to either keep building on the positive environment we have here or to let it turn into something toxic.
Show Empathy - I think first and foremost, we all need to remember and keep in the back of our minds that this is a forum on the internet. With that said, there will be people from all backgrounds, ages, colors and in all different places in life. What you say on here could have either a positive or a negative effect on their life. So, show the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. We've already lost one great member in Rachel let's try not to lose anymore over petty arguments and disagreements that we can easily settle without letting it get completely out of hand. Keep in mind, if someone is saying or behaving in a hurtful way, that could be a sign of something deeper going on in their life and what they could need right now is to be shown a little love and patience. :)
Spread Positivity - With the aforementioned, let me encourage you to choose the option to spread positivity. Not only here in the forums, but take that into your everyday life. I'll be completely blunt with you, when we leave this world, the only thing we will leave behind is the memories others will have of us. Life is entirely too short and precious to argue over things that could have been easily prevented if we had shown each other a little empathy from the start. If someone has offended you in some way, the best way to counter that is by being the bigger person, showing empathy and trying to somehow bring a smile to their face. Fight negativity by showing them positivity, instead of sinking to their level. Nothing will show negative people more satisfaction than letting them know you let them get under your skin. Set an example for others to follow. :)
Learn to Forgive If someone has offended you here or shown you something less than a positive attitude, let me encourage you to show the forgiveness that both you and them deserve. I have been wronged many times in my life, and holding on to the hurt, anger and resentment 9 times out of 10 does nothing, but bring me down. While the person who did the hurting has most likely moved on with life. Don't that let that one small moment bring the rest of your day down, or in contrast, your week or month.
If you feel like you're words aren't important or will have no impact on another person's life, no matter how great or small, I will remind you that a member here committed suicide after making this thread, aftermath here. We need to be reminded of this, because I have seen some serious hate in the forums these past few months.
With that said, I will remind you, that this IS the internet were talking about and there will be sarcasm and trolls and really hateful people here. By the very definition. It's the internet. How YOU respond, will determine the outcome. :)
If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person. - Mr. Rogers
