Can we stop cross-posting from RPG.net threads?

[Jdvn1]

One was asking that EN World not be used to argue points that have already been argued (not a terrible request really) and the other was a joke even if not a good one.

Therefore the point is we joke too much?

I suppose I didn't explain myself well enough. What I don't want to see are threads on EN World that reference a thread on RPG.net and "stir the pot" by asking EN World to argue over what was already argued over (likely in a much nastier way) on RPG.net.

Mods, feel free to close this thread or re-direct to Meta. I have nothing more to say, and it is already sliding into bitterness.

We're nastier than RPG.net? Wow.

I think this thread belongs in Meta anyway.

But if there was a nasty argument over on rpg.net, chances are we could do it in a more civilized manner here on ENworld and get a lot more constructive discussion out of it.

I can understand that you wouldn't want people to crosspost on rpg.net, inviting the troublemakers over to ENworld to continue the flamewar here. Or for that matter, that you wouldn't want to encourage people to "stir the pot". But if it's a topic that's worth discussing, and the atmosphere at rpg.net doesn't lend itself to a reasoned discussion, I see no problem with having that discussion here.

Mods - please keep it here.

Hey it wasn't that bad, I'm a little off my game though. Maybe when I crack 30000 posts I'll get funnier.

I can understand where hes coming from now. Ive seen bitter "look at what these jerks said to me" posts linking to other sites, just as Ive seen things on other sites about ENworld in the same way. Its tacky. I dont see any problem with getting a diferrent communitys views on a topic at all, but wanting to snipe about different forums isnt good.

uhm...I think I'll go actually talk about gaming instead of making up more rules and restrictions on what folks can and can't do...I just really want to have fun and don't feel like buying a brown shirt.

The Nazi comparison was a bit uncalled for. The OP was concerned about people spreading flame wars from other sites, not calling for censorship.

Man for once i'm part of the elite educated group, instead of the uneducated masses that i'm usually part of, by the way whose butt do i have to kiss to stay here.

Too bad you didn't do what you said you would.
