    I'm guessing a person's mindset when they see a leaving thread is "Oh well he will be back soon." I mean how many times has a person posted a leaving thread and either made a long-term or permanent departure successful? Few have. It is influence. Most people will think leaving threads will mean a temporary departure nowadays since they still see the departing person online. It depends on the person who made the leaving thread. We as individuals don't know everyone well in this community except for a couple of best friends we talk to alot. If you don't know someone well who made a leaving thread, it is hard to determine if they are keeping their word or not.

    Dang this is like the quote of the thread here. I would give you a milk carton from Ralph's if I could afford it.

    I have edited the original post, to further implicate what I mean.

    We are? Also...one word posts? I'm not going to be different to you than I am to anyone else, and I don't intend this to be rude, but...

    If you're going to post, please contribute to the thread. I won't accept any "one word posts".

    I am not simply making a "one-word post".

    This is instead of a warning directly to you.
    I am making my presence known, as well as telling you and others to calm down, as this thread is very quickly approaching a dangerous line.

    Ah, alright. Could you explain it in future events too, so no one else gets confused? Thank you.

    Not being rude, but isn't one worded posts against the rules?
    Just because you are staff, doesn't really mean you get to bend those rules.
    In my own opinion, you should have made a longer post to begin with.

    Oh, and it's just a casual debate :L I don't really see anyone getting bashed in by this thread anytime soon (it is subject to change though)

    Well, the thing is, I'm not interested in participating in this thread.

    I don't particularly care to read and respond to all these, just so I can tell the thread owners to calm so that my post doesn't get counted as "off-topic" or "one-word"
    So I simply said "Calm".


    If you think I broke the rules, you are more than welcome to report me.

    Ty devin for posting so I can post again xD

    http://itsjerryandharry.com/threads/im-leaving-good-bye.40906/#post-410362

    ^^^^
    'I'm leaving, bye'

    Few posts later...

    'I'll come back when the next MC update comes out'

    Hmm, but it could have also been said in an inbox, but eh, I'm not staff, am I?

    Oh, and reporting Staff isn't for one word posts. Doing so would be incredibly moronic. It's for those who abuse their actual powers :L

    Why would you target someone like that? I'm sure the person whose thread you linked would feel bad if they knew they were being use as a bad example.

    *sighs*
    Really...
    I don't want to shove an opinion that he's a bad guy.
    It's the point of the posts.

    I could get a lot more threads like this, but this is a newer one.
    Also, just because I've linked a thread to a post like this, doesn't mean it's bad.
    It's giving an example to debate about.
    Stop going all defensive on him, especially when you don't know the intention behind the post.

    Oh okay.
    I guess that when you said:
    I automatically assumed that when you said that, that you were being relevant to the thread by using him as an example of a person who leaves then continues to be active. The way you worded it makes me assume that you were using him as an example. But I guess somehow you meant to use home as a good example?
    Lol don't try to change your mind once someone points something out ;)
    And don't be so defensive :)

    I was using him as an example.
    But not a bad one.

    I would have worded my post a LOT differently if trying to make it out he done did bad.
    It's a neutral example. Not good nor bad. Yes, it may put him in the spotlight because he did what Pyro was saying in the first post.

    Buuuuuut.
    If he didn't make a leaving post and come back, wouldn't that mean he would be used as an example.
    Actions result in consequences sometimes. And ssssssssssssslight, 0.01% public humiliation could be counted.
    Do you really think people reading this are going to go up to him and go 'eww, you left and came back. You're a horrible member'?
    The community is surprisingly good. Give us credit.

    The difference between the post intentions:

    The first one, he made ONE leaving thread.

    The second one, I'm talking about those who make a thread, come back, make a thread, come back.

    I apologise, I really should have made it more clearer. But, I still stand by my words. Want to continue this debate? BRING IT. I'M PREPARED. I'M PUMPED, LET'S GO.


    Edit: I said this to Wolfy, saying it to you. One worded post. Yes, you did use quotes, but you only wrote 1 word. Make this fun for the both of us, write more.

    I have no intention of carrying out this discussion with you any longer.
    In the future, please make your posts more clear. It would be useful to those reading them.

    Aww, but I was just getting started.
    Tsk tsk, one day, I'll have a worthy debate opponent.

    I'll keep that in mind.
    You keep in mind the quantity and quality of posts you debate with. ;)

    okay here is my two cents:
    There is a fine line between heat of the moment and constantly doing it. First off if some says there leaving for ever, thats bullshit. No one to my acknowledge has FLAT OUT left the forums permenatly to my knowldge. The one time i made a rash decision O realized that, and I wish i would not have .
    That said, it was a rash decisok , i f'd up once, and now I know better.

    All in all: leaving for ever is not happening. Ever. The only way you leave for ever is if your permabanned.
