Lord yes. I've posted a years worth of writting on here, and now I cant attempt to publish any of it...and virtually all of it was intended for publication.
You wont be seeing me post much actual material anymore. Unless its stuff thats gotten rejected, or is directly linked to stuff I've already posted or is just for personal use should I ever actualy get to bleeding play again.

I'm now more likely to do threads discussing the issues I have with various games. of course, those are among the most likely to turn ugly.

You sure about all this? I think if you post stuff on forums, you may lose your claim to exclusive ownership (i.e. you posted in public domain and it is no longer 'yours'), but I'm pretty sure you can still publish it.

Merlion, I have suffered some bad situations here too time and again, what i have learned is that some people contribute while others prefer to show that you are wrong and they are right, either because of your lack of vision or something else, this happens anywhere anyway, just that here we feel more cheated because we like the hobby so much.

Personally I would not go away because of that, I would ignore those posters and keep life going on, one good way to make them change is to act politely and ask them to do the same, say you are sorry if they got offended by anything and things might go well. or not.

Personally I think that saying your point is laughable because of anything is somehow offensive, to me it is far from counter argumentation and so I see how you feel. I would never leave anywhere for that though, I have decided some time ago in a very bad incident that I suffered that i wouldn't keep good things away from me because of people I dislike or that despise me, they are not worthy all that, in my opinion.

Anyway, on the posting on public forum and all, you are still the author, you are still the only one able to seel the rights, else someone is incurring in a crime. If it is game mechanics, though, what you post is more often that not considered OGC and so can be used as they wish, although you are the author, and so they have only one restriction, to give the author his credit.

Posting ehre does not render anything unpublishable, on the contrary, it might raise interst in it and make it be published, like Nyambe and the Tome of Horrors, for instance.

Thanks.

Well, it renders things unpublishable in Dragon anyway. I emailed one of the editors and discussed it with him. And that was the primary place I was considering submitting my work. I also know its the same generally for fiction, because I was going to post some stories I've written on Elfwood the big fantasy art/literature gallery, but they told me if I do, magazines and the like will not accept it.
But, that just means I wont neccesarily be posting everything I write on here.

Have you guys changed it so non-monetary contributors can send private messages? If so, its a good thing.

Well, I'd gladly consider anything you've posted here for potential publication in the ENWorld Gamer, our renamed and reborn magazine. While admittedly we prefer not to just print something people can get for free online, if the material is of good quality, we will use it.

My email address is RangerWickett@hotmail.com Yeah, I'm not afraid of spam! Ha ha.

Wow. Ok, Merlion, Pax may have been a bit ruthless in his dissections of your argument, but it doesn't qualify as abuse. I've enjoyed reading your posts, and I'm surprised that you'd want to leave such an awesome place as ENWorld just because someone was a bit critical of your opinion.

Wouldn't be feasible right now anyway; there's a reason Russ turned off the board's e-mailer (which is why 'reported post' doesn't work and why you can't look up a member's e-mail address in their profile even if they have enabled it).

I kind of hate to get this started again but: He wasnt just ruthless in his dissection of my argument. He first stated that he didnt care about offending me, and then stated how laughable my ideas and opnion were.

Again, insulting a person, and insulting what they think or say, is basicaly the same thing.

And the rest of the post was basically him gleefully, gloatingly pointing out any factual errors I had made.


And unfortunitly, in this place, that kind of behaviour is not uncommon.

Abuse comes in a lot of forms, and degrees. If his had been the first such I'd dealt with here, I wouldnt have posted that post. But it was one of many, and it sent me over the edge for a bit.

Merlion you seem to be very sensitive when dealing with people who disagree with your opinions or who do not believe that your rule changes are good. I do not believe that people who argue with you or dismiss your ideas intend to actually abuse or persecute you. If you want to change the rules in your own game you are free to do so. But if you insist that others should accept your changes to the rules as balanced and reasonable while refusing to alter your ideas to address their concerns you will find a good deal of frustration and perhaps hostility. Also I believe that many people come off more aggressive and less playful than they intend so it works best if you cut them some slack.

And unfortunitly, in this place, that kind of behaviour is not uncommon.

And I disagree, it is rare, very rare. Sure debates get heated and sure poster get angry but this is civilization compared to other places.


Camarath, a discliamer for your sig! Love it!
