Problems people are having with TFF.

[Maridia]

Yeah I agree it's best to keep it open. So far nobody has gone off the handle so why bother closing it?

I've noticed something about tff in general. Unless you're here to post porn and tell everyone to **** off then you have a really good shot at not being banned. I know people who have been warned and told to stop over and over. Mind you newer
members I'm speaking about and still if anything people cut corners to slap them on the wrists and say to not do it again. So I really can't see how people might see others as unfair.

I came here when I was 16 and didn't know anyone just like everyone else who joins. Yet it worked out for me. All I did was be respectful and not do anything stupid. Which really isn't hard. I never got the feeling that others had it in for me or hated me. And they didn't. Same as then, things haven't changed. Old members aren't out to get anyone or make new people look stupid. It's almost like people are afraid of talking to eachother anyway. I see the new click of people who won't talk to the old click who used to dominate the aim chat, not the current msn chat. So things change but always remain. Yet all people need to do is communicate and you'll see the others don't bite.

The only 2 other staff members I talk to on a regular basis are OceanEyes and Chez. They're friends now but back in the "Day" neither ever was too hot on the other. BUT they didn't speak to eachother either it was just what he said she said or who he was with who knew her and so on. Finally they actually both spoke to eachother and now they're friends. See my point? Just like gravity all it takes is a little...push (Yes I know)

I like this quote from Setzer because I feel that many people on these forums tend to judge others just because of a "he said/she said" situation or simply because of a person's opinion from their posts. The major downfall of this is that because maybe FFGuru (using you as an example only because you are the OP.) has judged another TFF member/staff solely because of what one said in a forum and not taking the time to get to know him/her. You never know, you and another TFFer could become the best of friends, but I feel that in general, people tend to remember the bad more than the good, mainly because it was more endeared into someone's head than that of a good post.

I know I have been the culprit of this before, on two memorable occasions. The first occasion was back in the day when I met a crazy aussie by the name of Dawezy! Although I consider myself a devout Christian, he is a straight-up Satanist, and you know how those two things mix together... Because of this, I never took the time to really get to know him that well and I tended to steer clear of talking to him, until I realized he was a pretty cool guy, and a BIIIIIG FF4 fan, like myself. Now, if I would kept my judgements about someone before even getting to know them, I would have been missing out. Another (more recent) occasion was with Silver. I didn't care for him much because he was bashing the .hack series when I was comparing them to the FF Series. This was a big deal to me because I am a big fan of .hack, and I felt that he was ripping up my statements, sentence by sentence, as he was talking about how the FF Series is ultimately a better franchise. Now little did I know about Silver is, he breaks down what other people post and delivers his statements to match up with the previous posts. After I was able to get over myself, I ended up talking to him on MSN and stuff and found out that Silver is a really cool guy. Again, another example of how premonitions on the internet can get us into trouble.

Anyways, the point I am trying to make is that, if you have a problem with someone, go up and get to know them first before you decide that you really do have this problem with him/her. No need to feel uncomfortable with everyone here; the reason this site exists is because it is a place for fans of the Final Fantasy and SE franchise to go to and to discuss, meet and talk with others.
