Where has the respect gone?

I read it and agree completely. I mean come one, I've been in and out of anger management for 3 years and I treat people nicer in-game then most of the people I play with. wth
also, I don't see how people can say acting the way these players do is part of the competitive environment. some insults here and there and talking big before a good game, sure, but I've never seen a professional football player show up to an amateur football league and take a megaphone and start going "you all suck, your defense is terrible and you can't throw anywhere as good as I can. You'll never be good at this game you should just quit and get a life!". not to mention that some of the players in this game act 10x worse than that. -
I didn't say there wasn't any, I just stated that it's the wrong place to look for it. MMO's have way more mature and respectable players.
It shoudn't matter "Where" we are though, I think thats what he's trying to say. People dont need to be flaming or disrespecting anyone.. Good thread ^^ +1 to the one who made it (>^^)b -
I rarely ever see anyone say ''nice shot'' or anything positive when they kill or are killed. The pros usually trash talk when they kill you and rage hardcore and make excusses when they die and the lesser skilled players usually insult you when you kill them or bring out the hackusations. As far as ive been playing this game its always been like this and i doubt it will change but hey, maybe some day..

It's not the BR making fun of sept 11...I agree, but some people can get more srsbsns than others, have a bigger temper, get mad at BS shots, or getting owned and trashtalked by a lower rank.
I was trying to be a rush-sniper in Ship, and a PFC called me a "fail LT".
Who wouldn't get mad? I took my AK out halfway through and got 2 less of his score at the end, when I had 6 at the halfway point.
There's always going to be people wanting to start things. You can't ask them to stop, because people can be ****** bags just because they're born that way. There is no possible way I can see to fix a bad community, because it's the people's fault.
Also in Echo 8, there could be bad blood against the teams/clan, so the person may go after the opposing other. Like when I see a person from the clan "_September11" I go after them. To be memorial, or not, I go after them. It's a d*ck move. (Also because they're BRs and they made fun of Sept. 11. No lie.)
Things JUST happen. You have to deal with it. -
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind - Mahatma Ghandi
Think about that before you disrespect another player because he/she did the same to you.
Don't blame the 12-15 year old kids, blame the 15-17 year olds with their egos's teaching those kids or maybe representing as a role model for said kids to act such way. The children are never th source. -

Good point.
But im not blaming it on kids. its not just kids its in EVERY age group. -
Alot of players, like myself, are very vocal. You just have to take what is said with a grain of salt.
Of course. I understand that completely. But there should be a bottom line of respect. Get vocal. Get loud. Get aggressive. That's a part of competition. But bottom line, there should be a common ground where respect is given. I don't care who you are. -
Start rant:
Whether in-game or in the forums I have noticed that there is a lack of common respect for users/teams. Yes I know, old news is so exciting. Obvious is obvious, etc. etc. etc. But for real, why is there such a disregard for SIMPLE respect of each other? I honestly don't want to hear the, "this game is full of 12-15 year old people, there is no respect". I think I have met plenty of you that can hold a decent amount of respect for other users and you're not all 18. Some people blame the current state of this community on a particular race of people and their troubles. Sure, everyone has their part in this community so they are just as much a part of it as we are.
However, everyone is accountable for their actions. Even a 12-15 year old can decipher the difference between blatant disrespect and common courtesy. I can cite examples from public games in Echo 8. Just sit back and watch the conversations that go on in those rooms every once in a while. "You're bad. Get off" "QQ noob you need to learn to play" "Stop whining you baby. Get good" "You're bad. No, you're bad. I'm the best" There are others that I do not wish to get into, but you all can relate to what can and has been said in such games.
Is this what it has come down to? Arguing amongst each other in public games over who's bad? Over who's better? Over who's smarter? Over who's team can beat another team? Over who can insult someone better than the other person? What happened to common courtesy? Common respect amongst fellow players? Public games used to be about fun and enjoying yourself. Don't get on to me about a race ruining public games. It's not about that.
The forums are just as disrespectful or worse than in-game. Some people just simply have a blatant disrespect for the rules. Don't cite excuses that the Moderators don't enforce the rules. A community should be able to use common sense to know what is right and what is obviously wrong. Moderators shouldn't have to be closing/deleting threads 5,6,7,8 times a day. That's our fault. Even some of you who aren't 12 years old go around spouting off who's bad and who's an idiot and who's this and who's that, causing flame wars and unhealthy arguments.
This community should be about positive growth. Positive doesn't mean insulting someone for suggesting an idea, no matter how good or bad the idea. Encourage them to try again. Positive doesn't mean arguing over POINTLESS debates that do nothing to help this community. Try starting a discussion thread that will lead to healthy discussion about improving this community or ideas that are realistic. Positive doesn't mean starting 100 threads about the problems with this game. Believe me, the management is well aware of the problems without 100 threads to tell them. I'm sure they got it the first time.
Sure, you may say I expect too much of this community. That I give the potential of this community too much credit. Fine. Flame me. Insult me. Call my thread pointless. You will simply prove my points here today. This community won't grow without our help. The GM's and Moderators can't do it by themselves. Sure they can do a big part through enforcement, interaction, etc. but they can't do it alone. Try looking at your own actions on a day-to-day basis. Some of you simply don't care and I suppose this won't apply to you then. All I'm asking is to take a step back and realize that this game is not all about who can't play well or who can. Sure, there is a competitive side of the game and competition is always healthy. But, there should be a certain amount of respect given to each other that will promote growth and take steps forward not backward.
Your sarcastic comments and negativity, if any, will have no effect on me. So feel free to have at it. Like I said before, you will only prove my points here today about the lack of common respect between users in this community.
End rant.
Finally someone who's got the guts to tell this community whats going on. This community is messed up. End Of. All I ask for is a fun game, a joke along the way and a 'gg mate
' after that's it I don't expect people to like drop their m4 discontinued gold for me and like follow me around and protect my arse. Now all I get are these absolute bellends screaming KICK HIM HAKER OMGGZZZZZ NOOBSSSS if you have a K/D of more than 3.
Man up ******s get some respect for people who are better than you. Me and 3 mates had a CW we got beat not heavily and we just said GG you guys are good, good luck for the future and then what happened I know play with two of their members frequently.
So much simpler if this community was just filled with less teenagers.
