Arguing, Complaining, and Trash-Talking

[Spaz {Clanless}]

Let's not turn this into a "bash MIA" thread please. I tend to find the information I need when I lurk there. Think about your post before you post and you will be fine.

I think, as do some of the other vets, is that a lot of the arguments and complaining are coming from newer, younger players. They expect the game to play like COD, and for them to win every time. They dont have the appreciation for the game and what we have now.

Yep. I've seen that before here in Missouri too. It's annoying.

I understand what you're saying but I was not trying to "bash" MiA because yes they're a friendly and helpful community but I was just stating that some people on here would not have a good reputation on there.

That is only because they refuse to take the time to form a proper sentence. Yes MiA can get pretty harsh on repeat offenders, but as long as you follow the rules you will be fine. For the information in the stickies alone it's worth it to take your time.

Their strict grammar, punctuation and spelling rules also make sure that every post is easy to understand. Their content rule makes sure that we don't have many vague, general posts like "M4 not shooting tell me why".

MiA has a reputation not only in Michigan, but in other states for being an awesome, smart and friendly online community. It has gotten and stayed that way largely in part to their rules.

Precisely. My previous comment was not designed to condem MiA. It's probably one if the best sources for airsoft info I've come across. I was merely stating that the lack of proper grammar routinely shown by quite a few folk on here would result in scorn over there. For darn good reason too.

If you type like a 6 year old, you're going to have a very hard time convincing others that you're anything but. You certainly wouldn't gain anyone's respect.

Can we please get off from the MIA topic this thread was meant for the arguing, complaining, amd straight up stupid stuff that people say. Think before you post, don't say anything mean or degrading and just be respectful both on amd off the field.

I mean come on guys its airsoft not the military, its meant to be fun and for a stress relief. So if yoy act like a 6 year old in terms of words grow up and just have fun.

Mods please lock this cause I know its gonna turn into nothing more than bashing and "he said this, well he said this and did this."

Grow up, put some time into your posts and act mature and we shouldn't be having issues like this. If you have a problem take it up with that person, or let a ref or Hollis know.
