Hello Everyone,
I need to say something real quick...... I'm a proud XC bag holder as well as a proud bag holder of Dark and Vertcoin. I believe all three coins have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm seriously sick and tired of researching coins on the forums and seeing nothing but useless fud and people arguing. Re-quoting and arguing with other posters does absolutely nothing to help promote XC. All it does is discourage investors, having to scroll through pages and pages of worthless arguments to find anything useful. When I jump on a forum and have to dig and dig to find what I'm looking for, I just end up walking away with a bad taste in my mouth about that particular coin. It gives me an idea of the type of people invested in that coin. Please, lets change the game here for XC! No more arguing with fuders and no more re-quoting ignorant people! Also, investors want to see innovation and development. If you are qualified to speak in either of those departments, post! If your not, please don't. If we create a forum of just good info for investors and holders, you will see XC's value go through the roof!!
I'm with you on this one but anyone can just post here and FUD away. A new FUD ends up be quoted and replied to many times to disprove it. Moves away from the actual info that someone needs. All I can say is look at the OP and gather info from there.
FUD is a big problem on all forums and no easy way to deal with it.
Any ideas anyone?
I think our best bet is to follow guidelines such as these that Synechist posted:
1. Be good to each other
2. Be gracious to "enemies"
3. Completely ignore spam, FUD, and abusive comments
4. If you respond to anything with the above in it, erase the offending remarks from your reply before posting, because leaving it in will allow it to incite further offense. (Also Teka might delete your post.)
5. Don't ever spread FUD elsewhere. Respect other projects. XC doesn't need to compete with them; it's strong enough on its own.
6. Be patient with newbies. There'll be a lot of them arriving as XC grows.
7. The way you treat people makes up 95% of what's relevant in a post; the information supplied is 5%.
8. The way XC appears to the world depends on the way you are to other people.
9. Be aware of the difference between what you perceive and what you infer from your perceptions (e.g. statements vs. the intentions suggested by statements).
10. You devalue yourself by being aggressive/insulting/etc.
11. If we don't treat opponents well, then we just take on their mode of interacting instead of imparting our mode of interacting.
12. So be good to each other.
We should requote this from time to time and encourage taking the high road whenever possible.
