Re: The Joys of Overzealous Moderators
brxbrx, Wendigo, I'm not defending Calahan here, but;
The guy is always helpful but has a short fuse when people are wasting his times and posting BS. He usually gives you one chance before he starts to rant relentlessly, but I get where his frustration comes from.
Personally, I'd be happier if players like you brxbrx didn't bother to always try to answer any question, as from what I see you tend to give wrong answers more often than not. If and when you don't know the answer or are not sure, please don't answer because you feel the urge to answer and end up confusion people. Or if you do, advise people to take it with a grain of salt. Especially since you're a SP fan and anything which sound good in SP is usually crap for MP.
The only worse thing I find is when someone claims something very wrong about a certain game mechanic and won't accept the fact that he's wrong, even when explained or given proof, so he just goes on to spread more BS.
A lot of people, including me for example, have stopped trying to answer any newb question here entirely because is too damn frustrating to have to deal with all the **** that comes with providing a simple answer.
Ideally, I'd like here to be a sticky which directs newbs with questions to dom3mods, since no matter what you all might think, people there are much more helpful and straightforward. BS will be called on, and trolls will be marked as such.
