I've been on this forum for a little bit. And I'm a little worried about the turn that I'm seeing. People seem to be getting more trollish and..jerkish.
Example I posted a deck list that needed help.  It was over a 100 cards and really needed to be cut down. I asked for help, explained what I wanted the deck to do.
The responses I got were on the troll side.
Doesn't matter who said what. I've seen other people have the same kinda response
I'm just worried that responses like that are going to ruin this forum and this game for some people.

Can't disagree.  There has been a lot of douche baggery lately.

Yeah. Honestly you can not expect everyone to comment on your decks unless you comment on theirs also.

I don't expect everyone to comment on my decks, I try to make helpful comments when I can. Or nudge people in a new way to look at there deck.
I'm not a master deck builder though.
No one should have to worry about douchbaggery when they post 
Golden rule people, golden rule.

It's easy to be a douchebag when you can hide behind your phone or computer and don't have to be face to face with people.

As a local mod, let me just say I do understand your concerns over this, and the type of posts you guys are referring to have not gone unnoticed. Obviously, rudeness and unfriendly behavior towards our fellow members are not the kinds of behavior we want to encourage around here. I like it when everyone gets along and is happy and having fun.

If you or your thread is being treated particularly poorly by someone or some trolls, make sure a mod knows- report it, pm me or another mod, we'll come have a look.
