You know what, nevermind, I'm not doing this with you anymore here. You just start calling people names when they don't immediately agree with you. I don't fully blame you, staff allows this shit to go on and it's just SOP now, no one gets their dick slapped like they should when they start name calling and trying to get stuff moved to RNF. You win, it's obvious people are right when they say these boards are a toxic shit hole and you should just stick to the auction and class sections and completely avoid any of the "general chats", just trying to have a respectful disagreement isn't possible here without. | |||

Thanks Daud, for a second here Loramin erased me from existence lol.
Honestly, if any other system would have to be put into place, it would be a complete total fresh start, including all the reputation theft and ensuing drama. 100% fresh server, deal with it. FTE for your name and then cry me a fucking river when someone uses your name to be a dick. Loramin there is one thing that you put absolutely no value in, and it is staff time. How much time does it take for them to purge any kind of name base you want them to purge with all your super good filtering ideas? versus doing absolutely nothing more than what they have already done. It is their free time bro. Give them an easy solution: a) do nothing more than what you have already done to protect blue99 toons' reputation, incl. the tiny flaws in the plan. thanks for thinking about something btw! b) do nothing more than what a completely new server would do: all names available, good luck have fun. thanks for the new server btw! if you had a tiny bit of respect for the staff you would be super okay with either. you're asking people to work for you for free Brent.

Personally, it is a new server and names should be up for grabs. and if you dont care enough to be there day one to get yours then you dont care. I dont see the problem with that. Yes there are special cases but that is far from the norm. There are too many accounts that have been inactive for 1+ years for it to be ok to save their names. they arent playing. they dont matter. it isnt difficult to get. Dont reward people who arent playing and punish people who are. come on. /rant over i guess. This is just a really shitty situation. I have been so excited about green but this is so dumb. from top to bottom this isnt a smart move.

Now that there are a whole two of you who sincerely believe that having names sit unused for(literally) years at a time > people actually using them to play a game ... I guess I can't use the word "freak" anymore (which, to be clear Daud, was meant in the "freak storm" sense, not the "you're a freak for your beliefs" sense ... because I previously believed you to be a lone outlier ... not as name calling).

But also ... I'm a programmer. Databases, whether on precision medicine web applications, or in 20-year old elf simulators, work the same way. If you can write a SQL query (and I'm 99.9% certain P99 uses a SQL database and not some fancy new NoSQL one like Mongo) to identify the records you want to get rid of, then that plus one second to execute it is all the time it takes. Now of course I'm oversimplifying a little, and obviously no one on the staff is going to run any kind of mass-character-altering query without spending some time double-checking their work first ... but the point is, unless you get super complex in how you identify unplayed characters, the tech of performing this clean-up is not difficult.

Anyways, I really, really don't like calling out a bunch of posters by name and playing the quote game since I don't entirely speak for them, maybe there's more to their opinion than what they wrote. I am not going to debate these people's words for them, if they want to clarify further then can. But I will point this out: there are lots of people who recognize that there are people against this, because most others at least using words like "compromise" and "debate" in their posts before I showed up. In contrast, you seem to be the only one actually trying to claim (now almost) complete consensus. And let's not forget the only way you want to claim that there are very few people against it based on comments: You just don't count the poll in a poll thread. I'm not going to let that go because that's a shitty thing to do, and here's why. 1. OP didn't make it clear that your opinion in the poll wasn't gonna count for anything if they didn't post. Applying that standard, solely against people you disagree with, absolutely reeks of bias. I simply cannot understand someone as logical as you doesn't just immediately see this. 2. The poll had 2 options: a. Things stay the same. What else is there to talk about? Why does anyone need to do anything more than vote? It's pretty simple and straightforward. I don't blame people not wanting to dive into this trainwreck just to have to have people keep defending a simple opinion ad nauseam to people. b. In favor of some kind of rename or delete. This is something you an actually discuss, if you're open to renaming/deleting, you can post what levels you think, naked, account age, last login, playtime, etc etc, so of course there is going to be more discussion about it. I don't like the way OP worded the poll or the post, but I'm not going to just throw away all those opinions because you, what, think they're all trolls? Because no one besides me and a couple other people are willing to write multiple paragraphs and posts exhaustively explaining over and over and over in every single detailed possible way when it was never more complex than "I don't think there's a problem getting names and I don't like taking things away from people based on a feeling so I'm against it"? God damn, dude, I just gave an opinion and it's like defending a fuckin PHD thesis with you. | |||
