Starting a forum beef in a thread about ending them?

I keep hemming and hawing and going back and forth with actually replying in this thread. I've already typed up 2 responses and deleted them before posting because it seemed pointless to me but here it goes.

The short version here is that there is no "answer" or "solution."

The community here has changed over the last couple of years and now there's a sort of "new vs. old" thing we've got going on.

This forum used to be a place for men of action. Guys who went out, talked to women, got laid, traveled to different countries, learned languages and cultures firsthand, and shared their knowledge so others could do it/join them and exchange their knowledge in turn. Men who met up local and abroad and created a brotherhood and almost a sort of secret-society/good 'ole boys club ripe with camaraderie and mutual benefit.

Now this is a place of mostly typists who come on here to type up their opinions about socio-politics, popculture trends, business/finance, and etc. It's just a different place and the general membership has shifted. I won't comment on whether thats good or bad as it's purely up to one's own opinion, but this is just the fact of the matter.

The reason for the "beef" you may see from time to time is that of the few older members that are left, some of them like to try to maintain a sense of pride for the community and uphold some semblance of integrity and credibility of the membership and content.

There is no "fix" for this besides just letting the place continue to evolve organically as it is.

My theory is that gradually more and more of the old school crew will continue to post less and and less and fizzle out, move on, get banned, or whatever. A lot of the guys that have been here for 5-10 years are getting older, desires and tastes are changing, and likely feel that whatever value they got from here has run its course and whatever value they can give back would likely be useless or fall on deaf ears.

I find myself posting in here less and less. I pretty much only post in the fitness forum and a few random comments in game and lifestyle forums. I feel the travel forum is still quite valuable in an actionable sense at least for meeting up with people.

Beef? No offense to all of you, but none of you know what beef really is. Talking shit to each other, at worse, hardly counts as such.

I could write out a lengthly explanation, but Royce Da 5'9" explains it better than anyone else ever has.

Quote:

What's beef? Beef is when these rappers be believin' they rhymes
And a nigga like me just take it one day at a time
Beef is when you die because of your CD
When I come from your blindside before you see me
Beef is when I get jumped by niggas
And come back and kill 'em one by one
Beef is the reaper, patiently pacin' outside of your pretty house
Today you figured out what's beef

Quote:

I will leave you lying down in a street
Everything around you will be dyin' down but the beef
Please believe - my guns'll take you punks
To your maker from my freezin' sleeve

Check out the 3 outros at 2:52 until the end of the track. Those are very legit examples of beef.

The first outro with the kid loading a gun talking about going to kill all his teachers and classmates is raw as fuck. Royce's CD would be banned by his label if this was made today. My how times has changed.

Call me when Nasa Test Pilot manages to shoot someone after paying the bouncers to look the other way and has his old money buddy have the prosecutor drop the case.

Good points. I'll always be grateful to this place for the real-world friendships I've gained from it. And they've come from both the game/travel stuff as well as more politics orientated guys.

One thing I suspect is that the guys who've left do post on other forums though. I'm not an active member of anywhere but here, so it's my only outlet and I'll probably stick around. It wouldn't surprise me if Speakeasy, Basil etc have simply moved on to places more fitting to their world view. Once you've started posting on forums, I imagine it's pretty hard to completely break from. I've tried. It also wouldn't surprise me if they still browse the forum without logging in.

I'm Black, not a trump supporter (or hater), and I'm ambivalent on all races, yet I'm still allowed to participate in many contentious threads without any push back.

I could list out at least 50 dudes with 20+ rep who aren't racist or fond of Trump on this forum. I won't bother since I don't have time, but I could do that for you if you like.

You and I are boys, so I'm not sure why you're trying to paint me with toxic, broad brushstrokes.

Nola and NTP were both caught lying about their achievements. Doesn't that warrant the title of "troll?"

Mind explaining your side a bit more? I do agree that not everyone who claims big things is a troll, but NOLA and NTP were both caught in lies, so I'm not backing down on their classification.

As far as beef goes: "don't start no shit, won't be no shit."

Guys like the King of Belgrade have difficulty understanding this rule and they get clobbered for it.

No!. Brother, I was being facetious... Definitely was't fucking with you. I'm making fun of the situation that has been pointed out. I'm really sorry that you took it in a literal sense. I was being crass and sarcastic. You're my boy, Blue!

Respect.

[pargan]

The reason there is forum beef is because some high rep members think they run this forum and feel like they can harass newer members with immunity. There is definitely newbie trolls but the newbie trolls get banned quick. With some old high rep members they just go on and on with harassing people and nothing ever happens to them. All I have quited below is Scotian flaming me and that is from just one 2 page thread. He constantly calls me a faggot and acts tough, but then cries to the mods to ban me cause my views are different then his and I just got off a temp ban.

If you have different views then people like Scotian instead of debating with you in a civil manner they will call you a faggot harass you and then they will cry to the mods to get you banned. Everyone should be held to the same standard and high rep members shouldn't be allowed to go around harassing people with no repercussions. The flame wars they start will destroy these forums.

OR

B) A nerdy Indo incel like you who lacks self confidence and spends all day on the internet asking retarded questions about where he can get laid the easiest because he's too damn insecure and lazy to get off his ass and improve his station in life?

I think we all know the answer

Vancouver is literally THE WORST place in North America for a beta Indian dude to go for women, the local Sikhs are cool dudes who will AMOG the fuck out of your bitch ass all day long.

Maybe you should try a place with a smaller population of alpha brown dudes, just a thought.

On the flip side of that pargan, newbies like you should be restricted making multiple junk troll threads like yours "Does X city has X girls" then...


EDIT: There's no real beef here on the forum, just guys calling out other guys or challenging them

Typically it ends amicably or ends in a thread meltdown.


I might not agree with someone but I'm not like "fuck that guy I hope he dies" it's the fucking internet, and unless you're one of the many I've met in person, I ain't mad at you, nor would I be.

I never let emotions get in the way of an argument online, but I will point out trends, things that I think are stupid, or hypocrisies (we're all guilty of this).

Most of what I said is me ribbing you, it's nothing personal, I just pointed out the obvious and asked why.

I've got nothing against you, and the forum is a consistent learning experience.

[TravelerKai]

Pargan that probably should have been a permanent ban. The notion alone that Scotian snitched on you is ridiculous. He isn't a person that uses the report button here. If he has something to say to you, he isn't going to beat around the bush or be passive aggressive about it.

Kaotic ethered you in the second post. What if he was the one that reported you? I don't see you addressing Kaotic. You cannot, nor will not know who reported you, so stop whining about that.

Your threads are spamming the forum and are pretty much worthless. You could just use the search button for some of those questions.

You are a good example of someone that should have stayed in the newbie section longer. You should have lurked a bit longer to understand the forum's culture better as well. For example, I could see you getting banned for whining about the moderation of the forum and you have not contributed anything of note. You would have known better not to do this had you lurked or attempted to learn the culture here first.

You are also another reason every so often guys beg Roosh to put a new thread block on people with a certain post count. Guys like you abuse this privilege to start new threads. You are hurting the other guys that need help when you do this. It's selfish, self serving, and trollish.

RVF is not twitter. You cannot just come in here and dump your putrid mental diarrhea and expect not to be cornered by the others. RVF is not different than a prison. Any collection of men is going to have some semblance of decorum and rules. No courtesy flush? You will get flushed. It's that simple.

If you use the search feature and do not find what you are looking for, state that in your opening post, and link some examples of previous topics so that others can see where you are coming from and fill in those gaps.

Lastly grow some thicker skin. Taking things personal like that is not going to make you a better man. It just makes you a better bitch. That is not what you want. The goal is to take lumps and learn from them, keep it moving.

NTP was literally copy+pasting entire posts from other sources and passing them off as his own.

[AneroidOcean]

While the forum membership and topics of interest have changed, I think the moderation has been the single biggest factor in the forum's change. Roosh doesn't have the time/interest and Soma is only active sometimes. This is not a dig on them as it's not a paid position or anything, but we need someone a little more like Tuthmosis.

We miss you Tuthmosis!

[armenia4ever]

Whenever you go on this forum, imagine you are sitting down at a table with a group of other men with a bar built in the 1500s that still smells of earth, but yet has the rich aroma of fine cigars and good food. In fact you should grab a chair and sit down, sip on the fine scotch on the table, and light up a smoke. The music is a soft slow jazz in the background that's just audible enough to enjoy, while being low enough to invite conversation.

At this table, there's a group of men who've lived life. They have stories you've never heard, tales you need to hear, and wisdom you can't find anywhere else. Now sure they are some disagreements when they chat about the purpose of life, the way of the world, and what the future may hold, but you know their intentions are genuine and there's always a good reason behind their choice of words.

Now think about that as you hop onto the forum.

What would real men say to each other face-to-face vs the comfort of a keyboard? They would of course be honest, but respectful. Any kind of "beef" is a choice. We all should ask ourselves if we should even bother wasting the time to go down a path where there are choices of conversations and posts that involve forum "beef".

Now I enjoy observing forum beef and drama as much as the next person. We all enjoy the entertainment of our very own version of Internet Blood Sports.

Partaking in it though is something probably best avoided. Think about all of it for a moment. How much beef can you have with someone you've NEVER met? Okay, mean words - but words that are shared by a community of somewhat like-minded men. If it really bothers you, you can always enable the option to not see their posts. If you don't want to do that because you are still interested in some of their posts, it clearly doesn't bother you enough.

Apparently, we are all supposed to be men here. Apparently. What kind of alternative culture are we providing with drama over rather petty things that we can't overlook? Negative people are something best avoided. If you feel they are enough of a drag, don't bother engaging with them or simply admit you have differences and move on. Sure they might think they've "won" and it's somehow at your expense in front of the eyes of the rest of us, but who really cares?

You don't need to win. You simply need to put out your thoughts for all to see. That is after all the best way to really understand what you think and the positions you hold. Continually articulating them fine-tune and sharpen not just your ideas, but everyone elses. Life is short. Spend your time accordingly and stop wasting with it pointless drama. Don't take things personally. Assume the best, forgive the worst, and keep on going. Keep on learning.

This forum is a community, and when you join a community you learn the rules and act within them. Assuming you can jump in and ask stupid questions and not get told off by people here shows you don't know the first thing about the place.

8 inches is probably the perfect length for being big but also still being able to do things like anal with a reasonable amount of women. 10 inches like the OP said is most likely to big and would just rule out to many things.

[Silver_Tube]

Its just nature, we have this large audience of impressionable young men who are looking for the 'red pill', meaning they are willing to question the mainstream view on many issues in a search for the truth. Knowing how the world really works is a major strategic advantage but so is having a fix on the game by gained via disinformation. We ought to expect folks with all sorts of strange opinions to be attracted to any opportunity to make impressionable people into believers. Separating the nutbar audience-seekers from the actionable strategies is difficult, I appreciate the moderators for their efforts.

Many of these pills are tough to swallow, it can be helpful to rely on reputation when considering a challenging piece of advice. People are incentivized to puff up their reputations for the attention dopamine rush and the power that comes with having an audience, people also like to bust up one another's reps in an effort to take the audience for themselves. I for one resisted joining the audience for most of the political stuff until it started appearing on ROK, only then I was willing to consider the posts about demographic shift, JQ and whatnot. There is an obvious agenda behind the things that are now happening to men. We were more of game community then grew into quasi resistance movement because nobody else seems to be satisfying that demand properly. We need to figure out what we can do to turn the tide for men and I think the political and crypto topics can sometimes be useful for that. Some folks feel like we're facing extinction and get really dramatic in the discussions. I do like the idea of tiering off the politics in some way because the hysteria is not very productive. Most advice for how to affect greater change starts with shaping up one's personal life, 'clean your room' is a popular way of saying it. We'd have much better odds of success if our people were more skilled both in game and in life.

There is still a lot of valuable life-changing action happening in the game forums. I really hope you high rep posters don't abandon us in mass. The forum recently helped me get out of a bad LTR and I'll forever be grateful for that advice.
