Hi WeiZ,
WELCOME! I appreciated the spirit of the offer, even though I am unable to accept the offer itself. I believe that other lurkers feel the same way.
I am merely a âlurkerâ and do not often actually participate in the discussions, but I felt it necessary for me to comment in this situation.
Lemming of Glory, the forum moderator, stated that the second response elucidated the policies of the forum and website clearly. However, the second response could have been more polite and friendlier.
Many websites including Lurkers Lounge have strict policies as to content and behavior. The ones for content on this site are fair and reasonable. They include mainly; discussions limited to Diablo and Diablo II, a request for proper grammar and spelling (for the sake of clarity), condemnation of software piracy, and support forâ legitimate playâ. (Though what constitutes âlegitimate playâ is sometimes subject to debate.) Unfortunately, you ran afoul with one of these conditions on your first post.
This forum and this website also require certain minimum standards of civil behavior. These standards do not include rudeness, disrespect, insults, or self righteous, self-serving comments in the forum posts.
Therefore, I would like to apologize for the contents and tone of the first response that you received, on behalf of myself and likeminded lurkers. It was uncalled for and out of line.
I hope that particular message does not discourage you from continuing to visit and participate on this website. Sometimes we are too quick to condemn and not quick enough to correct. On the whole though, you will find the participants here to be friendly, helpful, intelligent, interesting and enthusiastic. As a fan and collector of Blizzard games, this should be one of your primary websites for the Diablo series.
