Woah just reread that shit, sorry if I repeated anything multiple times, not been sleeping much.

As being one of the possible *bitchers* you might be refering to, I will answer it this way. Some may have been complaining (that is what I prefer to call it) and some were poking fun at it.

The whole point was that nobody would read the post if it were posted (for example a Search function post that went ignored) and we didn't need to have a new discussion on it. For the most part, I would say that they are only being posted for points and the double points. Some of those A-Z games are ludicris, that may seem harsh but some of them there is nowhere to go in the game.

And the only reason you saw it was because, you got bored. Some of the topics have been up for a long time (a continuous active thread) so having these comments come up 10-20 pages in is not outlandish.

I have tried to stay out of the forums lately (only popping in for an occasional meeting or to post on a thread that I am active in) because of all the posts being made that are disingenuine. Not saying all of them are, but I really hate that important threads are getting buried in the mess.

I am now stepping down off my soapbox and going to the corner for a timeout.

I said my peace and explained my point of view on it (and during that 2 more were posted) but I figure you desreve to have this "bumped" up since it is getting buried in the threads.

This way you may get more explinations to what you are wondering.

The A-Z posts are silly, as are the Men vs. Women threads. There's just no point in it whatsoever.

However, it's an open forum and there are going to many posts that offend at least one person.

Now, on to your original question.

I hate the A-Z games; I think they're frivolous and they make me crazy when I have to sort through 15 different A-Z animals/jobs/flavours/ colours/countries/coun try singers/dancers/artist s/whatever to find that thread I forgot to favorite twenty minutes ago that's now on page 7.

It irritates me not as much as all those posts asking, "Does this really work?" but more than those posts asking, "When will this be back in stock?"

That's why I don't post in them. Not everyone likes my threads, I don't have to like everyone else's but I do have the self control to ignore things that irritate me.


That being said, if you'd be kind enough to explain what you mean by members receiving special treatment, I'd genuinely like to hear it. If you'd rather not chat about it on the forums, please feel free to message me. I've been posting on here for a while, and while I see that a lot of people are better friends with some than others, I don't see favoritism anywhere. BUT I know that I've seen favoritism on other sites I belonged on where there was none and I was misinterpreting things, so.

I'd just like to say that while I understand both sides of this coin, games on Eden do have a place on the Forums, which is why we created a subcategory for them. Subcategories make it easier for people to find exactly what they're looking for. So does the Search bar. We also have a "Favorite" button that allows people to keep tabs on their favorite threads.There are tabs for any thread you post on and icons for any threads you have read. This way threads are not missed and people can keep up. We made these features so that people would USE them!

We have noticed the Forums getting flooded of late, and while the influx of new topics and people are great, we are still checking up on every thread/post that is flagged and/or messaged about.

Use those handy forum features and play nice, guys!

The problem with the way that I read this question, I am guilty of saying something. BUT most of what you originally were talking about started like this.

My wife and I joined in the Eden Gives Back Meeting - Which the question was asked for more ideas on how we could give back to our communities. We ran low on ideas soooo

I said if we make a post and put "A-Z" in front of it more people might see it and help out in the idea making process.

Personally, I see no problem with saying that, for it is probably more truth then not. We are all adults here and should be acting as so.

I found offense with the fact that you threw everyone into the same catagory of "b*itching, when if you read how it originated it was not that at all. Yes some feel very strong about it and some are riding it out, so to speak.

I have not read every single thread to see if I am missing the ones you were referring to but then you could be referring to the one that I previously mentioned.

There is no special treatment that I can tell for one member or another, I take full responsibility for anything I do, that includes in real life as well. My wife believes the same.

I'm not replying to any one post, but trying to address several things that called out to me.

Most of what I've seen in the forums about the A-Z games has been, as Danielle915 said, poking fun at the A-Z games. Most of the poking fun (that I'm aware of) was a derailed thread about people posting polls and threads with repetitive topics (which is generally discouraged). It doesn't mean that it didn't go too far, and while it was amusing, it didn't really help anything. The A-Z games are not my favorite things, but I don't read them, nor post in them. Games are entertaining and they pass the time, so if you like them, that's you. Good for you. Enjoy the games. I actually stopped posting in most of the games because I found myself too distracted from my day playing them, and I already have too many distractions.

Okay, I really hope this next paragraph doesn't offend you. Please take the time to think about what I'm saying.

As for expressing your opinion and having the right? Yes, of course you do. If you manage to express your opinion in a way that is in accordance to Eden's Expectations of Conduct, you will find that you have fewer flags, if any. Not everyone here holds the same values, morals, religious views, or even sexual views. Eden strives to honor all of these people; which means that expressing our opinions in opposition to something, a little tact is necessary. Let's say there's a thread: "I Love Brown" wherein the author describes loving everything brown. Hair, eyes, clothes, furniture, cars, carpet. (It's like the song "Blue" only brown.) So I think this is all ridiculous because I don't like brown. I have three options: 1) Ignore the thread. 2) Blast the person for liking brown. 3) Explain that I don't like brown and I prefer more variety in my life. I'm likely going to select option 1 or 3 depending on who the author is and if I feel so inclined to express my opinion. Option 2 will always get me in trouble. And trust me, it's HARD for me to not do Option 2. I tend to be impulsive and controlling. It's a very bad combination and ALWAYS gets me in trouble. In fact, I'm trying to learn that the more passionately I feel about a topic, the more I need to distance myself from it because I do get judgmental and I *hate* being judgmental.

I hope that made sense, because I feel like I'm rambling but I don't want to try and rewrite it for the third time.

I certainly hope that you don't try and put yourself in anyone's good graces because there is no one here that you need to impress. You are here for you, not anyone else. There are some amazing people here and there's not anyone that I outright don't like. Some people confuse me. Some people frustrate me. Some people here have become very good friends. Some people I'm still getting to know and may never figure them out. That doesn't mean they don't have a place here.

Anyway, I hope that this all is taken in the spirit it was offered. And KRISTI, thank you again for ALL your hard work in the forums. You are a goddess!

Also I seen in the forums a possible Welcome Wagon. I think this is a fabulous idea for new Edenites!!
