Hey I just want all people to think about what they are writting. It is clearly that alot of the site's user sometimes write things only for the purpose of getting thier "rank" such as town dweller higher. Alot of people write things as "cool" and "yea"

It fills the therads and sometimes you need to read alot of junk before getting to the good part.

So pls if you got nothing smart to say then, say nothing. Let the experts talk, and not us random newbs who think we are smart because we have like two elite skills.

I must agree with you there. There are very few people who make pointless posts, it also makes it harder for us moderators to work, as we need to read through the posts to see if theres any rulebreaking going on

Fortunately, we have the report button! Report button ftw!!

What does the rank matter anyway? It's not like it gives you anything else than a different line of text under your name... and the high rank names are just... WEIRD. Cervantes , author of Don Quixote and I'm pretty sure Sancho Panza comes into the story somewhere too... {the helper on the donkey?} and I don't recall a Rocinante but it sounds like it's also part of the story. Who came up with these things?

*I apologise if my knowledge of the Don Quixote story is extremely faulty*

Well, it will take them a looong time to get their rank up anyway.

I think that more of a problem is when people read the authors first post, and reply to it without reading other people's repleis.

Someone will ask how do I delete a post?

And 20 people will say the same thing, that is extremely annoying, and it rally pi**es me off.

"I don't know really. Could be true or not, I suppose."

or

"Why is everyone so worked up about [x]? Take a walk outside, smell the flowers!"

or

"Ehm... WTF is this all about?"

or

"I think that [repeat of the exact same thing said in pretty much exactly same words in at least 3 previous posts]"

or

"People, take it is easy! I am ok, you're ok! Love one another."

etc. etc.

It is nice that people feel at ease expressing their thoughts. But sometimes I wonder if it would not be better if some of us did at least try to consider if what they post is at least vaguely interesting to at least one other person.

Sancho Panza is a peasant who becomes his armour-bearer (yes, the donkey guy) and Rocinante is his old horse.

Ok so I'm right. Which makes it even stranger... I demand to know who came up with these names!

yea, cool

Welcome to online forums. I can't give you much more advice because there are so many people out on the internet that want to have their voice heard, no matter how small it is.
