I am damn tired of seeing people's god damn problems on this GAMING FORUM.
Take personal problems to your parents, friends, doctor even your pet will do just keep it the hell out of this GAMING FORUM.
I will be asking Rofl to make this a rule because it is getting out of hand now.
-
Ummm I honestly don't have a problem with it. I mean, c'mon.. It doesn't have to only be about Gaming... It can be about life too. Everyone posts about their life and other people's life.. We come here to discuss everything, not to only talk about gaming.

I would but they're not my rules.
-
I feel the same way as Hoplite...

I agree with Jiggerfrizz, I am getting bored of seeing these threads being made, all it does is attract unwanted attention and stirs up trouble, I seen this by experience (PE forums, if anyone was there), when someone made a thread talking about their real life problems, all it did, was create a nasty circle of flaming, trolling, and "It can be done yourself" responses.
Even though I do feel for those people (even though some are indeed, bullshit stories when looking closely into it.) I don't want to see them in the forums. As it just causes trouble.
I support JiggerFrizz, I've witnessed and experienced these situations before all first hand.

this is technically a problem your sharing on the forum :(

Not one that is about my personal life though.

don't want to read them? don't click the thread. problem solved.
-
I totally agree with this. Not saying general discussion should be limited to just gaming.
But no one wants to come on and see the forums clogged with stories about how shit your life is.
It just clogs the forum full of shit
-
Then don't. You have all the power to just not read the thread.
Plus, this isn't just a forum.
This is a COMMUNITY. A place where people gather and talk about things.
You already have gaming sections of the forum, and one general section.
You want shit only related to gaming? Again, Only click on the interesting threads.
Save yourself the headache.
I'd like to see what YOU do if shit turns sour for you.
-
Probs talk to my family and friends or go to the doctors
What would sort the problem is just another section for threads about peoples personal problems
-
It's not the whole "Yeah it offends me I don't want to know about it", but it's the people who it attracts.
It just bothers me as it stirs up drama. Admins don't want to have a situation where a thread has been derailed and turned to a troll fest because 1 person who has IRL problems.
Also, if I had IRL problems, I'd seek the appropriate person. I noticed the people in the internet are not going to help you.
-
Most of my family hates me. My doctors can only do so much and they can't be around 24/7. I asked for some people to talk to.
I have nowhere else to turn. I already got a few people talking to me on steam so I don't need to go on about it on here anymore.
-
I support jiggerfrizz, even tho i do feel for those that actually have problems, its still very annoying tho. If your life is shit talk to someone in real life, why the hell would you talk about it to people you don't even know? I think a lot of people that complain are just attention whores "OMG my life is terrible and i want you to feel sorry for me so read my thread." Not trying to be mean but seriously, if you need help talk to someone that can actually do something, if you post it on the internet you will only get trolled, and all we can do is type to you what to do or w/e. If your life is shit, get treatment or w/e your problem is, posting it on the forums aint going to do anything other than get trolls to troll you. Also if you ask what you should do on the internet by people you don't know over people you do know in life, theres something wrong in that picture imo. Thats just my opinion of course.

This effectively sums up my opinion about this issue. If the thread doesn't look interesting to you, don't read it. Simple as that. Like Wish said, we're a community, and gamesgamesgaming shouldn't be the only thing we're allowed to discuss.
-
As i said Just having a whole section for people to post their sob stories would be a grand idea.
-
+support
I no care bout your life.
-
Because kind words from others go a long way. friends are friends regardless of distance or mode of communication.
Everyone can use more friends.
Also FYI: I AM under treatment. Lots of pills, psychiatrist appointments and waiting.
-
I support Jigger - the forum are turning into a Facebook-cry-fest.
''HURRR, my life is so terrible'' - Then go ask your friends or call someone who are classified to help you. I doubt anyone would take it seriously on the internet - and you will probably feel worse than before you asked for sympathy.
-
Yknow..... there are so many people who keep whining about these things.... but the fact is.... some of us have a lot of shit going on in our lives, and people post here because there are actually SOME people who DO CARE... the people who are trolling and flaming just make it worse
Think about it this way: if someone was near suicide and posted here on CG for help and for everyone to try to talk them out of it, but they just end up getting flamed at and trolled, knowing nothing isl eft in life and they actually went through with it?
Unless your a heartless bastard, you would probly feel pretty damn bad about it.

I support JiggerFrizz, I've witnessed and experienced these situations before all first hand.
I've seen this before back at PE, and OC started to have it before it died, and I don't like when people use here for their personal problems. I've had MANY personal problems myself, but I never came to any forums to ask about people's opinions on what I should do.
It's VERY annoying and I'm tired of it.
-
I mean this in the least offensive way I could say it in, but some of us don't want to hear about other's issues. It's not because we don't care, it's either because a. we have our own issues to deal with, or b. we're annoyed by all the threads about personal problems in CG.
As much as CG is a community, it is not called Emotional-Help.net, it's Catalyst-GAMING.net. Honestly, if you have personal issues, I think you should take it to Steam chat with people who care. Because odds are, by posting a thread about your personal problems, you're annoying others, you're annoying admins who need to monitor the thread to stop trolling and flaming, and you're allowing for others to poke fun at you behind your back.
In my opinion, we should not allow for threads about personal problems anymore. Keep it to yourself and people who have the time and the want to listen. That's not just for the sake of those who don't want to hear it, but to save you the insults that may come from posting a thread a bout personal problems.
-
I didn't mean to start a huge fight. I just wanted people to talk to. I don't expect anyone to have the answers or wave a magic wand and fix everything.
-
People are saying they posted on forums cos they have people that DO care. You should steam chat those people then instead if posting it on the forums. as someone above me said it is called Catalyst-GAMING. Although it doesnt have to be about gaming all the time of course, this isnt the place of layout your problems and emotions.
-
I don't really mind, as long as they don't exaggerate, and there isn't like one a week.
but at the same time this isn't really the place, chances are you won't get good advice if you get any advice in the first place. This should be a last resort if you really have no where else to turn to.
-
If you are problems with real life. The WORST thing you can do is releasing it on the internet. That place, full of troll caves and stuff.
Get some real life friends, and seek support from real life people who you know. Gaming communities really don't give a damn about other people's life. Rough said, but it is just true.

TBH all my good friends are on the internet, i generally find nicer people on the internet then IRL

So, you resort to guilt tactics now? Please carry on. Anyone with intelligence would know that we're not a help line for people.

Guilt tactics? pfft... im just telling the truth
Why be a douche to people who need help?

To be honest sometimes people feel to insecure to ask their family members or people around their real life's social area because of what they think people might do to them. It is much more pleasant and much safer to ask these questions on the internet.
People who post personal problems here are simply people who find these problems to be serious enough to have to seek the advice of people who would not judge them for who they are or previous events. It is a perfectly sane and intelligent way to ask these tough decisions.
As shownofear stated (even if I hate his Avatar). Don't like it, don't click it. It is to be known that if people post problems and such on these forums they expect answers. The least you could do is at least give a honest opinion on it without attacking the questioneer.

Don't like it, don't click it.
Also, you're forgetting the fact that it just stirs up drama and flaming.
We're not a help line. End of.

Hurrrr...
Pointless posts like this are considered postwhoring. 5%. - Bacon Lettuce Tomato

In all honesty if the rules have been set about what can (anything) and can't be discussed, these arguements are nothing more than a little clash of opinion. No use crying over some people who just want to ask questions or seek advice, no use in clicking their thread just to flame them.

If I could make real friends, do you think I'd hang around on the internet all the time? :P

it's interesting to see what people openly think about ur issues on the internet, i posted one in the spam forum on OC where i saw a girl and got a boner then didn't talk to her and asked what to do. u guys healed me and i stopped getting boners over girls

But honestly, it is a method of helping the weak people who cannot help themselves.
It improves our understanding of other peoples real opinions and true feelings; acting as a source of knowledge.
As a result I find it reasonably intriguing on the basis it is not worthless (Simple situation/Dumb).

I made a section for life problems in the support section this can be locked now
