^^ clearly the point there is that the main draw nt gains is from its charitable donations and it's general forum. Which you just echoed.

I didn't come here for e-props. You're still on that? You tried me on dates so I corrected you. as I came to understanding that what I want out of this board is no longer here nor do I have the time makes me a hypocrite? All good meth, if that's the didactic message you want to take out of my observation. Cool. I'm not going to go back and forth with you when I already stated my now, gripes with the board. Don't try to slight me and expect me to just take it. Respect works both ways. I once respected you, that's over with. Writing me like I imagined being here... My question has been answered. Any further jabs my inbox awaits them.
Jabs? Guy, the worst thing I said about you was that you joined in 2003. Only somebody obsessed with join dates and seniority seriously takes that as an insult.
Nobody said you were "lying" about being a so-called "OG," because 1) nobody cares, honestly, as we don't look down our noses at people just because they didn't SIGN UP FOR A MESSAGE BOARD early enough, and 2) there's no consensus cutoff date for being an "OG" anyway. There's no "insult" there unless you think being an OG is some incredible badge of honor that the staff has to respect, or that, of 100,000 members, I should've remembered you even though you admittedly didn't post much. I referenced the join date listed on your account. How AWFUL of me. Just read that original post and replace "2003" with "whenever you joined." It's not that critical.
If you think I "tried you on dates" then you're obviously missing the point. Again, I don't care whether you joined in 2003, 2000, or 2012 - you weren't the first person here. My point is just as valid for those who signed up in 2003 as it is for those who signed up in 2005 or 2010.
In every high school around the world, the upperclassmen always say "I swear, the freshmen get smaller and more childish every year," and they always pretend that they were never that small and childish when THEY were freshmen.
That you claim that you don't have time to actually DO anything about the problem doesn't make you a hypocrite: contributing to the problem by hurling petty insults about me, however, does.
What ever happened to respect, more specifically nt'ers helping out other NT'ers.
I simply suggested that you join us as part of the solution, to be an "nt'er helping out other nt'ers," and you responded with disrespect... over your JOIN DATE. How is that not hypocritical on your part?

In addition to that, I think threads should be monitored more closely. The quality of the types of threads have gone down.
Then you have to help us. Use the report feature to bring insults and other rule violations to the staff's attention.
Remember, people looking for approval are going to do whatever they're encouraged to do. If there's a better chance of getting positive feedback for making a joke at someone else's expense than there is for making constructive, helpful, and supportive comments, then which path do you expect new users to follow? They learn how to act from the existing users.
If someone posts something you like, express your approval. If a user insults someone, people laugh at it even if the comment isn't directed at them. Yet if a user offers help to someone, only the person they're helping is likely to praise them for it. As long as that's the way we're balancing our feedback, then OBVIOUSLY more people are going to post insults because it's far and away more likely to result in positive feedback.
