I’m not trying to be rude but what did he have to apologize for?


All the drama he has ever created?


An apology won't do much he has to show that he has changed


Yes, now donate your body for a science research :rofl: . Jk, bruh Tyr why are you so salty mate?


Nah I just don't appreciate someone that I have no idea who that is that I've never talked to that person or even know that he existed giving me a one star on my profile.


I mean it happened to me too. I'm the one who made the thread about it in the first place. I just appreciate that they realize that that was not appropriate behavior and they won't be doing that anymore.


I understand, but he has to show that he has changed, he can do many things that show that he has changed like for example he could give everyone he randomly rated one star a five star that would be a good resolution :)

sadly, once rated, can't change the rating. Even if drew/zeiss/fstp don't care about stars or pay attention to them, and I'm over that as well, it would be nice to be able to change it. maybe some threads get worse over time or others get better

oh you are right, they can. just not threads then. Cause I tried changing a member rating before the other day and it stayed the same. But you are right, when I put 5 stars on Tyr, he went back to a full 5 stars

Why do you care so much about the rating when we already agreed it's useless?


He travels, he seeks the p a r m e s a n.

Well I still don't like I said and drew/zeiss/fstp already all say its useless, but some people seem to care a lot so I put tyr back to 5 stars.

To further on that. There is lots of stuff I find useless. Like every thread needing pictures no matter the quality, just to have pictures so people don't complain. I don't go around on all those threads and bully/troll others (as I described in the opening post) about how they must have no reading skills or imagination or how useless I find their pictures. Some people just really care about pictures more than reading, and that is fine. Personally I don't need pictures and don't really put much pictures in my threads, and some people think that is also useless and sometimes they complain but I don't actually care lol.  But I'm not gonna go around on every thread and say how useless I find it, cause again that's just drama and bullying people, plus some pictures are actually rather good.

 

So point is, some people find stars super important, where as I find them useless (well it did get me at first but I got over it fast) like drew/zeiss/fstp agreed with in chat. 

 

Either way, that leads to the original kinda intent of the thread on top of the apology. I'm sure tons of people find stuff useless (like pictureless threads) or don't like how people post or don't like the person or whatever, and I'm sure people could ignore it and focus on stuff they like and positive stuff (like ignoring antscanada instead of hate watching him lol), instead of focusing on negativity like a lot of people do these days (which I know I've been part of that problem to). But if they find that stuff important and I don't, that's still great for them and I respect that.

 

(edit:

Though I don't actually think people don't have imagination if they need pictures, just an exaggerated example of what someone would do to bring up drama. Some people care about that like they do about stars. To me, like if I need to learn something or how to do something (like cooking a recipe or building/making something like a formicarium), videos and pictures actually make it more confusing for me. I do vastly better learning with reading than I do video/picture guides. So maybe that's why even if I had a really good camera, I'd still barely post pictures in my threads. Some people don't like that and need pictures and that's fine. Either way, everyone finds something useless that another person finds useful. Maybe that's why I mostly post long stuff in my topics, cause to me, text is easier for me to learn with and imagine with than just videos and pictures. But this is a bit outside the intent of the thread

If a lot of people care about it, you can’t really say it’s meaningless. I mean, who wants one star when you can have five? In any case, I applaud Vendayn for setting things right.

Pretty much. I mean, to some it is meaningless, to others it isn't. Which is pretty much the point summed up in one sentence lol.

People are different in the ways they learn things. You do better with text and I'm better with pictures.

When I learn for tests and the topic doesn't interest me for example I have a picture of the pages in my head that I can read off of so i store most infos in images.

I can make pictures up in my head when I read a journal but especially when it comes to unique setups Id also like to see it cause my imagination can never be as accurate as a photograph. If I can't convert Infos into images chances are it won't stick.

So there's no right or wrong just different ways of processing information

I already explained that I thought selling invasives was highly frowned upon. Sorry if it seemed like I was trolling. Didn't realize it was okay to sell invasive ants these days.

Well that lasted a while. Have fun with your ban, and don’t come back on an alt, you’re not welcome.

Honestly. This is supposed to be a forum about ants, not whatever Vendayn was doing.
