Hackers Are Important

I have been observing what goes on on the forums, the threads about the many illegal program usage within the game, the new modes coming out, suggestions for Crossfire's future, and most of the other conversations awakened in the Crossfire forums.

However, my attention did not shoot toward suggestions and discussions about upcoming modes and weapons, my attention looked directly toward the complainers about the illegal program usage, including the people who reply to the thread with an unnecessary "word", I should say, that usually awakens an argument from it's sleep. The word is QQ.

This thread was mainly started to disagree with the Moderators, the Game Moderators, and the Crossfire players, which is pretty much the forum. Threads that complain about the illegal program usage are referred to as "QQ" threads, correct? That, I can agree with, but only slightly. Without the "QQ" threads in the first place, how would the Moderators and Game Moderators be aware of the hacking issue? The Moderators and Game Moderators barely play Crossfire, therefore, they wouldn't be aware of the continuous illegal program usage within the game.

However, that is not the reason why I created this thread. I created this thread, to prove, without any deniable information, that hackers, also known as illegal program users, are indeed, important to our community.

However, I am not siding with the hackers, I'm just stating their importance, which can positively affect the forum by eliminating some of the threads that go on about hackers.

In my Language Arts class, which I take in school, we learned about a Hero, and a Villain, according to a story, of course. Think about this very clearly, as for I will not go into much detail. Is a Hero a Hero without a Villain, or a certain role that involves helping?

If your mind cannot decide with an answer, here's the answer I've received in class, that will change the way you think. Without a Villain, or a conflict/problem, the Hero doesn't exist.

Without hackers, or some type of conflict, would the Moderators have any purpose of being on the forums? Would the report system have any use at all?

We, the people who dislike the illegal program usage, and solve conflicts that occur on Crossfire and the forums, are the Heroes. The hackers/illegal program users, who continuously hack in public matches on Crossfire and continuously annoy the players that don't use illegal programs, are the Villains.

Without the hackers, without the many problems Crossfire is facing today, there wouldn't be a Hero. There wouldn't be any Moderators. There wouldn't be as much threads as there are at this moment.

This, however, can be taken in a positive, and negative way. Without too many threads, the forum doesn't look to packed, however, without the report system or illegal program users, what use would Moderators be to this forum? Without any conflicts to start up an argument, or cause a problem within the game or forum, why would there be any game Moderators?

A Hero cannot exist, without a Villain.

Conflict starters, and conflicts itself, are important. Without these harmful things, I should say, many jobs in the world today wouldn't exist. The report system's role is to collect replays and explanations of hackers within the game. Without hackers, what use would that be to us? Without conflicts, or problems within the game and forum, what use would a Moderator be? Without any problems at all in the game, what use would a Game Moderator be? To inform us about upcoming events? Who cares.

The point is, you guys are missing the whole thing. The complaining about hackers and complaining about "QQ" threads about hacks are completely useful. Without these, most of the people you know today, you wouldn't know. The Moderators' role in this forum is to help out with any problems going on, or answer any questions others may have.

Without conflicts, and conflict starters, their roles wouldn't exist, if they did, their role on the forum would be useless and needn't.

Hackers are important, and my speech hopefully proved a point to many complainers about hackers/illegal program users, and, changed the thoughts of many Moderators out there who think bad of illegal program usage complainers.

i lolled
ditn read it at all
conclusion is
if their were no hackersn oone with QQ
jk....
now on a more serious note
If we had no hackers that would be great
and the mods play al ot
A man can dream ! cant he...?

That's not true at all. Where are you getting this information? You are not a Moderator, you have no idea which threads are what. You ASSUME most of the time they are conflicts, which in fact IF that was true, most of the threads would be closed or deleted.

Most of the time, they are not conflicts, they are simple conversation threads about general game topics (weapons, maps, competitive events, questions, support) and then you have your off-topic threads.

Questions and simple concerns are not conflicts, which most of the threads that exist in this forum fall under. You don't even see most of the "conflict" threads because we remove them. So, any open thread usually isn't "conflict". You are still wrong. Your whole basis is wrong.

I can agree that not all the time the threads are based on conflicts, but the part where you stated that questions and simple concerns aren't conflicts, then that's when I have to disagree.

Concerns, meaning problems, are conflicts. Questions, are conflicts/problems about something they cannot solve.

Then please close this thread for good.

You need a dictionary. Conflict does not mean just something they themselves can't solve. That is a "problem".

Conflict, as defined by www.thefreedictionary.com:

1. a struggle or clash between opposing forces; battle
2. a state of opposition between ideas, interests, etc.; disagreement or controversy

Someone who makes a thread asking what weapon they should get is not a conflict. Someone who makes a thread asking about a technical problem that they can't solve, is not a conflict. Conflict would be if someone answered that question and then someone else disagreed with them. That is conflict.

Someone who makes a thread about a question or concern, is NOT conflict. It's a question or a concern.

A concern, again by definition:

1. to relate to; be of importance or interest to; affect
2. (usually foll by with or in) to involve or interest (oneself)

This is not conflict, by definition.

Someone who makes a thread with a question or concerning a problem, is NOT conflict.

You are still wrong.

In any case, the title of this thread could put an idea in someone's head that hackers are not wrong and that in itself is completely wrong. So, this ends here.
