Heroes Community Survival Guide

Two years ago I posted this VERY nice guide to help the HC spammers. Today I decided to present you another GREAT guide, this time for survival.

The Heroes Community Survival Guide or...  the nine forum horrors you'll have to deal with!

The Truth: In the dark deeps of HC there are threats more horrible than the Azure Dragon in H3 or the Goblin Knight in H4, and even KD! In order to survive, you have to read this short guide! This guide will not only help all well known members and newbies, but also the moderators! It's result of great experience and many researches.

Threat number 1 - The Spammer

He is someone who has read my own spamming guide several thousand times, now he feel it like Holy script (I created them, and I'm now very sorry...). It's honour for him to write something without any sense, also he never post on the topic subject. His favourite punctuation mark (often the only one he use) is the emote icon.

Possible evolution: "Mr. Poster" - the user who is tring to enter the Guinness records, he is posting everywhere 24 hours in the day, 7 days in the week. He is quoting after every singel post, sometimes even his own!

How to deal with: The spammers, just like the black-beetles, can NOT be removed! However the products developed by Raid can be used successfully (respectively - Raid and Ban)

Threat number 2 - The Troll

Most likely he is posting only one provocative thread, and then he is just watching and enjoing the following chain reaction. Example - in forum for automobiles, he will point out "how healthy the walking on foot is", and in HC - "how dull playing Heroes is".

How to deal with: Ignore him. Or as we know from D&D - fire and acid can help as well!

Threat number 3 - The (Devil's) lawyer

You can see him in every forum quarrel, and he is always right (Ya, even when he call black white and Vice Versa). His arguments will never get over and he will never stop to point them out, but his innermost dream is to find another lawyer, to argue with.

How to deal with: Just agree with him that the black is white (and vice versa), this is confuse him.

Threat number 4 - The intellectual guy

If someone will post something with 2-max. 3 sentences, the intellectual guy will do it with page and half (at least!), he is also using strange and complex word, known only for him (like abacot, cacography and fanfaronade). He likes to quote famos persons, even when the quote has nothing with the thread subject.

How to deal with: He is harmless since no one is reading his post anyway

Threat number 5 - The moderator

Just like the game bosses, he has special powers, and he can be great threat! He claims, that he is keeping the order, but his real and known by everone goal is to set bloody dictatorial regime, during which no one will be able to post without to fear for his life.

How to deal with: Obey him, and follow his rules!



I command you!

Threat number 6 - The kiddo

The age in his profile is 12-13 years old, but it's actually 5-6, that's why sometimes you feel like his first seven years are missing. He like to commune a lot! He is the best illustration of all faults in our educational system.

How to deal with: Just like Wile The Coyote, who we all know, the kiddo will return fresh soon, no metter what you did him!

Threat number 7 - The Hacker

The Hacker is EVIL , all the time he is tring to hit right you password, and do a lot of crazy things with your username.

How to deal with: Don't warry, his computer knowledges are minimal to none, also you can try some nice and long possword, like "teman456alb&%//44tserman101k256Alberik___"

Threat number 8 - The Unknown member

He's soul is much darker, than you thought. He is always hiding and he has 0 post caunt, but soon or later he may start to post and become one of the other threats!

How to deal with: still no one know how...

Threat number 9 - The insulted guy

He is always insulted, he is taking personally every critic, actually every post refered to him. Periodically he is leaving the forum forever. But in his case "forever" mean 2 to 6 days.




Most of this guide was just a translation!

From personal experience kiddos hide their age or post numbers like a few hundred years old. Usually have an avatar that has to do with darkness, devils or metal.

Actually I consider kiddos 13 or less, not 5-6

LMAO Vokial that was some funny stuff.

And what about the "quoter"? The one who quotes a very large post only adding "I agree" or something.

Isn't this stuff, stuff that any person who has been around the internet for a bit and has common sense should have figured out by himself already?

Considering that the group of people described above are one of smallest of minorities in the internet; I guess that this guide is pretty useful.

forgot the naive one.
Harmless at first, the naive ones unintentionally revive long dead threads and quote lengthy posts to say short comments... once you've explained this to them they usually turn into the troll, kiddo or the insulted guy.
