It just sucks because the bad ones outweigh the good.

-------
:)

However, I ask you to appreciate the members who do tend to go the extra mile to help someone in need.  I mean, I know of many members who do care about people and try their best to help people with whatever they have a problem with.  No, not everyone can be helped.  However, there are members who do try their best.

I try my best to be as supportive as I can.  I can't help everyone, but I try my best to help all of the people that I can help as opposed to being rude to them or just ignoring them.  I know what you mean, however you can't generalise the whole website saying it is "unsupportive" because there are members who are indeed very supportive and help many people.

You're like a bullet to my brain, I'm numb, can't kill my fun.
If you're good and done then thank you just the same.
I don't owe you anything.

but it doesnt strive to offer support any more theres just a few poor bastards who think that they can make a difference by giving sugarcoated shit to depressed kids

---

  Support doesn't mean fixing the problem. No one can fix someone else's problems, because it all relies on the individual. I would be crazy to think I could 'fix' anything.

  Support is giving an alternate perspective on things, a view given from someone who does NOT have emotions to cloud more logical and rational thinking. Support for some is just having someone to talk to, even if it's about nothing serious. Support for others is finding someone else that may be able to understand. Support for others is finding out what the majority thinks so that they can join the band wagon.

  And for others, support is finding someone that can fix things. But maybe those people are just too unwilling to recognize that at the end of the day, it all comes down to THEM, and until they put forth the effort, there's not much else to expect.

whatever i was using colliqual terms i dont need a dictioanry

---

Haha... I love how you completely missed the point. And I see at no point what you were using that was a colloquial term, and how that alters my response in any form :).

---

---

no you missed the point i was saying how they always put this in the banning reason when most of this site has nothing to do with support is bullshit

---

No, I full well understood that.

However, there is a difference between not providing any kind of support, than to add something that is quite the opposite or otherwise offense or unnecessary.

My only complaint is that the people who consistently post garbage in the support forums dont really get much besides a slap on the wrist.
I stay out of support forums when Im not being "supportive", and consistently offer support in them when I am.....yet MULTIPLE times I've been told Im at risk for losing my SL status because I'm not supportive in the nonsupport forums.

There are a few priority issues here.

"Then don't even reply to their pointless bickering and completely ignore them. If you want to help those that actually matter, in your opinion, then I recommend you simply ignore them or you will lose your opportunity to even help those that matter. "

Yes because no other members here ever get involved in "pointless bickering".  
*looks at mod posts in this topic*
Nevermind.

I know what you mean.  There are many people who reply to topics in TD & EI with things like "ok" or "i don't care" and it's just sad.  I mean, if you're going to spam and avoid being supportive, then you really shouldn't be posting in the support forums where people are very vulnerable and sensitive.  When I see those responses, it bothers me a lot and therefore I feel that I have to give a very supportive response to that topic because of the lack of support the OP received.

not being a support leader revokes your opportunity to help

I know.
Just like how not being a LW intellectual revokes my ability to be intellectual.

yeah okay, but if the area isnt about support who cares

if they spam rude shit in a support topic, then fair enough

It comes down to having one completely set standard.  No inbetweens, no having to judge, "this topic is supportive or it isn't".  You have to adhere to a very strict set of rules, because the more lenient you are, the more ability there is to find "loop holes".
