Problems faced by forumers

[Sacrifice 2,278]

This article features various problems faced by forumers. The list is short and can not do justice to our emotions, but it is never a bad idea to put your feelings into words, right?

Here are the problems I face from time to time:

 

1) The case of missing reporters:
I can not stress this enough. Every day you log in you will find the whole reporter team active. But the day you decide to post an article in the AWS section (which is a miracle in itself), you will find out that the whole Newspaper moderator team has decided to take a month-long vacation and will be back only when you message them to approve your article.

 

2) When forumer gets a life:
Forumers to the forum are like oxygen to fire, animals to jungles, and me to my friends. But a time comes when even the most active of forumers go offline and never come back on. They just leave. It is sad. But then again, their place is taken by a new generation of forumers that strive to make this forum a better place. But seeing your old friends not active again really hurts. 

 

3) The show-off:
Do you ever scroll down the off-topic discussion side of the forum to come across an article where everyone is discussing their number of posts, so you click on that article and scroll down to post your number of posts (408 in my case), but then you see that people are boasting about their thousands of posts, so you decide not to participate out of the fear of causing an outburst of laughter in the forum with your tiny amount of posts? Because same. 

 

4) The duelists:
Everyone at one time or another has thought of starting a duelist page. There are people in that section of the forum that only post their wins and hide their losses and think they are pizzarrific or something... Like Jack, what about that one time the XT dude didn't even let you score a point and you lost 5-0? Yeah right, I thought so. (I miss that guy pizzarrific though. One of the only YouTubers loved by many and least hated) 

 

5) The Helpers:
This is by far the most frustrating thing. When you registered in tanki and were careless about your ban history and were assigned a ban. Then later, you discovered the forum and became interested to become a helper, but got rejected due to that one stain you can never wash off? Many forumers have to go through this. My condolences lie with them.

 

6) The inactivity:
People are very inactive on the forum. There is so much less to do now. A time comes when you have visited each section of the forum and have read every article and now you have no clue what to do next. 

 

NOTE:
These are my opinions and other people may have different views about them. However, they are all true to an extent. Nobody can deny that, right?

Approved.

 

Great work on this article, definitely captures my frustratons towards the Tanki Online Forum. (though this time you didn't have to wait a month for the articles to be approved, just a few hours, so you've got to cherish the blessing bestowed upon yourself hehe) I really enjoyed the descriptions and the fact that I could relate to this article so much, can't wait for another article or possibly a sequel!

Spoiler

• A few commas added
• Minor spelling and preposition changes
• Phrasing ("There are many forumers who have" to "Many forumers have")

Thank you for the corrections and thank you for the kind words.

I suggest renaming this topic "How to get your article published fast" it is a really descriptive way.

Seriously your article was on the spot and very relate-able, nice work!
