It's not you I have issue with(and I admire your honesty), but those who downrate every single thing someone posts to "get back" at them for doing something they don't like here.

Agreed on the thank you thing, btw.

You are completely right but that does not change the fact that if enough people take their ball and leave this thread is dead. That is a basic fact. The gifters are the kings of this thread and rightly so. We can have a non gifting thread with pleasantries but that would not be a ninja thread.
That being said Dracomage and Seanobi should not be blamed for doing a silent Ninja a lot of people have done that and how are you to know who got the games. I know in this instance the thank you thread was taken down so no Silent Ninja. I think it is OK to down vote the threads that are offensive but if you really want them to learn start by showing what is right and what is wrong in stead of instantly Down voting all.

In the end this thread will die if there is no love and trust between us forum dwellers. This is a delicate balancing act and you fell. Use the safety net and slowly crawl back up is all I am saying so as not to offend the great and generous gifters who keep this thread alive.

I'm currently reading it/juggling several open threads but I will get to it in a half hour or asap.

I demand MORE Fubar!

To be fair I am guessing at least 1/4 of those who ninja games or enter contests don't play them right away & also probably have a big backlog. Some just like to collect things, I guess. :\

Ain't not no-one closing my thread!

I don't know when this became some kind of communist sharing thing, but it started out as a simple winner gets the game competition. The only thing that was disliked was scripting, partly as it gives an unfair advantage, mostly because it suggests that the person doesn't particularly want that game, just any.

Yes, a thankyou is preferred. However you put something on the ninja thread, expect it to be ninja'd. If you want to start up a thread that is all about civil giveaways, by all means do. It's not a bad idea, some kind of steamgifts equivalent where you only go into the pot if at some point you've put in yourself. However that's not what this threads about. It's a nice place for people who aren't able to put in, to get something out, and for those with more than they need to distribute it (hey, perhaps it is some communist sharing thing).

tl;dr - This is a ninja thread guys, expect ninjas.

I read that and suddenly I though about alcohol(fubar)...am I the only one who thought this?

Raging. one of those days where everything goes wrong, and just as you start to get on the rigth track, other people start to mess it up for you!

"Ape shit chimp frenzy" barely describes whats gonna happen if this continues! heheh

* throws dummy out of pram

And kudos to you for being such a forgiving and reasonable person. +1 *shakes hand* :)

you can't have any! ITS MINE ALL MINE!
Actually something I was chatting about before - was gonna message you on it in fact when I had a better idea of what it was and get your feedback.
I'm sure their probably is a "FU-Bar" somewhere

....

aye but you can be a polite nice and decent ninja though?
i think the main issue here is people are rubbing people up the wrong way, then asking how can i make amends then given friendly advice for said amends and then ignore that advice.
have i understood the general theme?

Haha at least I tried giving advice which seems to have just been brushed off as many others have also tried I'm sure it wouldn't have come to this if they had listened, but thanks for the kind words! +1

Not necessarily.......it's possible others will take their place(I know this is a possibility as I/others have popped in and offered games as well when we never did such before.).
----------------
Those deserving of the title can be such all they like(and deservedly so), but when the kings start acting(not all do but a small few do) like despots then it's time for a regime change, as it were.
---------------
Unless everyone started dressing in black and hiding in the shadows, maybe. ;)
----------------
I've been a victim of this myself(being silently downvoted en masse for senseless BS[when I said something that some didn't agree with or set someone off on a certain day]). As such, I guess I "feel" more for people that get the same treatment.

(This isn't to say I haven't been a right arse and deserving of the downrate on occasion, because I have.)
---------------
I agree that they should be civil but as long as they harm no one I don't think they should be barred from posting in here with polite comments.
Not no one not no how, even? ;)
--------------
And drinking.....lots and lots of drinking.....0.o

(But yeah, THIS......+1[I'd give more if I could, but sadly I can't no more boss.:(])

:)
I don't do this, I only down repped draco here. I'll not pursue him in the forum to downrep every post :p
But I agree with others that they should wait some time before posting here again.
