Just FYI.

just a little hint - suggesting someone to leave is as good as asking him to leave. - cause the option of leaving is always present and no member of this community does not consider it an opion. - so by suggesting it for whatever reasons ( even if turning his reasons into reasons for him leaving ) you try to overrule his own decision.

never suggest someone to leave unless you want him to leave. - and if that is the case, its more honest to speak it out straight.

this is one of the little threats that hang around the forum. - little threats, little bullying - slightly more subtle than plain trolling.


in general. - 4.86 is - what one might call.... part II of 4.85 ... while 4.85 was discovery the add-on. ( if you get the difference ) - a major bugfix, although bugfix doesn t really cover it all its less an real revolutionary add on - but still more than a patch.
don t be too excited about change, cause change always comes positivly and negativly.


about voicing ones opinion. - there are rules, rules of ethics, rules of staying civil / respectful. - thats got nothing to do with what political system is emulated in the microcosm of a forum. - cause those are rules that adhere to social communication.

sometimes is beneficial to be straight, sometimes you need to be sensitive. - sometimes you want to hurt someones feelings, sometimes you just wanne make a point. - if you wanne hurt someone, better be prepared to be hurt yourself - which many people fail at... most people are great critizising others, but very very weak taking critizism themselves.

all in all - i haven t seen igiss ever restrict the freedom of speech, unless it touches sensitive areas that do not belong here ( political ideologies, religions, or outright disregard of social competence ) - mind you, those values apply to the most "democratic" societies with a high value on "free speech", too.




the community as such hasn t changed much during the last 3 years. ( surprising? ) - there has always been bullying, arguments, huge egos, people who felt they deserved to be better etc. - thats probably human nature.
it might sometimes "feel" different, cause ones own position in the pack changes. - when you re the bully, its fun - and the world is at easy, when you re bullied, its all bad, but the system is the same.
