Just Lock This Thread Already
pointless and off topic

Some very useful contributions and discussions. Just because one perma-troll is abusing it like he does to the rest of func doesn't negate the purpose.

You've already demonstrated that you go on semi-regular spamming sprees that contribute nothing to the forum other than filling it up with meaningless shitposts. If you wish to make a serious point then form a clear coherent argument and post just that without the tirade of abuse. Otherwise you will keep being treated the same as any other spammer.
Fair Enough
So explain something for me Shambler: why does this thread exist?
You stated in the OP: It has come to my attention that there are occasional accusations of the Quake community having some negative social aspects. and then went on to quote a year old post.
So what's the real point? Who's got you so obsessed with this topic? Can't be Rebb. Did someone go on the offensive and start tearing down func in public?
I don't see anything like that at all. Maybe an offhand comment in a podcast or on Discord? Getting warmer? Where and when was the word toxic used? I certainly don't recall reading it anywhere?
You've asked for specifics now I am asking you.

I've left that one up since it had some content.
Yes there are jokes and banter and piss-taking on discord. There are some on here too. Conversely, if someone goes on a pointless shitposting rampage on discord they'd get that moderated too (although the guidelines for a forum and a chat channel are different due to the different speeds of interaction).
Dumptruck.

Yeah the year old post partly triggered it. Other than that, I dunno. People have occasionally mentioned it on here I'm sure. Sometimes people quote stuff from elsewhere like reddit. It's just sunk into my mind that the community sometimes gets called toxic, and based on that I thought it was worth looking at, it's genuinely nothing more sinister than that, and nothing to be suspicious about. In fact it seems that maybe I've overestimated the "accusation" against the community *shrug*.
I'm positive most critiques are in reaction to a couple of specific people here, not the community as a whole. As far as reddit, I posted there recently and linked back to this thread in case people wanted to add their experiencesor opinions. Every (legitimate) response I read there was very positive toward func. Which is cause for celebration!

no beef with you if that's how it was interpreted.
