Should the TiBB Razzie Awards (the negative awards - Most Argumentative, Most Self-Obsessed etc) have an opt-out list, so you can abstain from taking part if you so wish?

just get on with it you drama queen

Insults, and baiting (ie delib trying to upset someone you don't like) are against forum rules. So why is it allowed for this purpose?

People keep saying its fun. It mostly is. Mostly isn't good enough however.

Because even when it's meant to be light-hearted, you'll still get folk be sensitive if they found out who nominated them... and this is the downfall of it... you'll get the same old 'I'M HATED, FEEL SORRY FOR ME, THIS PERSON DOESN'T LIKE ME BOO ****ING HOO' stories from people and it'll ruin it all.

Who does that?

In general, everyone I see on the forum banters and doesn't take things seriously.

Unless of course there are very insulting awards.

You mean you haven't seen stuff like that from people on this forum?

GypsyGoth · 05-11-2012, 11:26 PM

For the most hated, if that's what it was called, I think it was fair that there was an opt out.

But the Razzies are something different. They are not meant in a malicious way, even if people want to take them that way, they're just a bit of fun. However I've never been picked for one I think, but from reading posts by Shaun or Brother Leon, they seemed to take them as they were intended, as a laugh.

It is peoples right to be offended, and it would be a shame that people chose to feel like they were being picked on because of it. But didn't Claymores insist on not being included in the most loved... ok I don't know where I'm going with this, but thanks for reading.

I meant people on the forum seem to take jokes on the chin.

Unless someone is just being outright rude. Which is why I said unless the awards themselves are very insulting/rude then there shouldn't be a problem.

Why?...because everyone would be able to see all the 'nice' members sticking the boot in?

Marsh. · 05-11-2012, 11:29 PM

And the clique (hate that word) would be exposed. lol

It's not about that... at all

I've stated, with it not being anonymous people would get even more upset (which they shouldn't be doing anyway, none of these awards are offensive)

Nobody is sticking the boot in, just take it all with a pinch of salt. I just think it would cause more arguments and people would end up disliking eachother.

Well look, I can only speak for myself, although I can think of a specific member who would be distressed at being nommed for anything negative. In my own defence, and I said this last year as well, nobody bloody nommed me for the stuff they should have done, such as Drama Queen, Attention Seeker etc. I am both of those things. Yet instead I was personally singled out for biggest suck up, ass licker or whatever it was, and I was bloody funing, as I will only be nice to people I like, if I don't I will argue the toss with someone till the cows come home. Argumentative as well. Call me that and I won't get offended either.

Please someone tell me they get where I'm coming from.

Marsh. · 05-11-2012, 11:34 PM

As opposed to disliking each other anonymously?

Why Would it be war?....
Like has been said all night it's a lighthearted tongue in cheek thing...
Why would knowing where the votes had come from change that?
I don't understand your logic joe.

Because some members go out their way to get offended and like to kick up a fuss. Gives them less reason to.
