Your initial statements seem disrespectful towards Plasma Burn - Please make sure you've reviewed the Terms of Service
http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=1071.0Also remember - this site is for gamers to find each other, and businesses to post their events. We are not a "event review" site, and thus do NOT support ranking, flaming, etc - I understand if you didn't enjoy it as much as you'd wish, but we do not tolerate any aggression or ranking towards business owners. You may have just 'called them out' in a way on things you saw as poorly orchestrated? But they put MONTHS into organizing this, and HAD all their bases covered, and things STILL may have not gone as well as desired by all.
Plasma Burn may be cool with defending themselves, but that is not the default on OKgamers, they are simply cool enough to have the time, and of course are active in our online community. Business owners and coordinators are busy; we want their next free 5 minutes to post their next event on the site to help them and us, not be an investment in defending their business, etc. I'm especially sensitive to this issue because I am often the one that goes to businesses and begs them to take the time to even use the site, assuring they won't be flamed, ranked etc.
We ask all forum members to refrain from flaming or disrespecting businesses on OKgamers, ALL GAMERS should please avoid this in the future, as it's our only real zero tolerance policy.That said - all gamers reading this please remember 2 things before posting, and encourage your friends:
A - what you say is often "one upped' on the internet, where anonymity is the default environment. If you say something "kinda bad', the next guy that posts may really top you. Please refrain from saying anything against businesses or organizers, as the snowball affect can be disheartening to all involved, and end tournaments happening at all.
B - BUSINESSES READ THESE FORUMS BEFORE POSTING. Your innocent enough ranking or disrespectful comment can 100% for sure stop businesses from posting. After all, why would THEY take time to share their event with you, when you may just flame them and cause needless problems and PR issues.
With these specific things in mind, OKgamers policies were put into place to 100% back businesses with said zero tolerance policy.
I know it may seem one sided - but without this "Zero Tolerance" perspective in place, some businesses wouldn't and couldn't take the time to even post here. We have a useful, free service provided to you here; let's respect our one rule of not flaming, ranking, etc - and give business owners a wide path. Don't like their event? Feel free to not go, but do NOT air grievances on this site; to promote it being worth businesses time to post OKgamers will never be a ranking site, only informative on what is going on, and how to find your local players and competition.
If there are any questions about this, feel free to PM myself or a moderator. If you want to openly discuss this, that's an available option at the next OKgamers meetings - watch the Site News forum for details.
