In the news today: this thread.
Someone posted a screenshot of their 1xmiss on a hard map (noteworthy!), got one really rude comment, another somewhat rude comment (maybe excusable because that was just Taiga being Taiga), and then the thread was promptly locked. I'm not sure why. (Edit: because it was clickbaity?) On the one hand, the pinned G&R rules (you all read those before posting, right? of course we did) clearly says:
"This forum isn't made for personal diaries and blogs. Instead, move your progress experience to your userpage. It's not necessary to have other people commentating your progress and potentially leaving shit posts there."
On the other hand,
I was polite in my post, dunno what is your problem. No personal issues there, no swears, nothing what is even slightly against inter-personal communication rules. Elaborate or please, do not provoke.
Additionally:
Rules got updated 3 years ago, scores were seen at the beginning of GnR and also, not often. Iirc, only administrator + peppy can update subforum description, if you have problem with this - please contact them.

I was given the impression that discussing our scores was an OK use of this subforum, because I read the line in the image below and because people seemed to be doing it without rebuke before. And why wouldn't it be OK? Humans seem to have a fun time discussing their achievements and jockying for bragging rights, so I see no reason to intervene. But first saying it's OK and then being rude at others for doing it definitely seems like a not-OK thing to do. Instead, it's MEAN.
Read above, discussing scores is not ok here from past... 3 years or so? Even more if I recall correctly.

Uh, so yeah, I just thought I'd highlight the conflict in the rules and maybe encourage someone to change the rules (I prefer this!) or the subforum purpose.
The reason I prefer the rule-change is simple. 1) I think hearing about other players' progress is interesting, so it benefits me, and 2) other players want to share news about their progress, so it benefits them. If the objection is "but if everyone started talking about their scores in this subforum, there would be no room for anything else!" then I would just point out that everyone already believes they're allowed to do so (see the image above) and the subforum is currently not swamped with threads like that. If that changes, you could just change the rules.
Gameplay and Ranking is mainly about gameplay issues, ranking issues, your thought about this two. Forum doesn't have score related subforum, hence, I was thinking about proposition of Weekly Achievement Thread like in reddit for people who just hate /r/osugame. Personally, I don't see any benefit of this thread, same as way to implementation. It could just add more work to mods to pin/unpin, check for NSFW content (which include skin elements used in score screen) etc. Too many cons towards too little pros.

This entire subforum has a serious attitude problem. It's certainly rubbed off on me over time. I've never been on a forum that made me feel so hostile. Maybe if a large percentage of the posters here weren't trying to be the internet's next top jaded meme warrior it would be different.
You didn't made a good first impression here, sorry pal. As someone who sit in GnR good 3 years and was active for over 2 years, I can say that GnR is very friendly and helpfull place
if person who post first isn't a hypocrit / passive-agressive / not willing to listen random noname. Great amount of my osu!friends are from GnR. Maybe it is time to change your attitude, look at yourself and try to live with others?
