How Not to Complain about Things on the Boards

This has been another edition of How Not to Complain about Things on the Boards.
Here are a number of helpful hints:
1. Post at the correct forum (Era Accuracy).
2. Keep expressions of disappointment minimal. You don't own the computer that this shard runs on, hence you have no grounds for outrage.
3. When speaking of era accuracy, do not merely appeal to what you seem to think you might remember things being like ten years ago. Find documentation if possible. If not, better to phrase your deep disappointment as a question, viz., "Pardon me, chaps. But does anyone else seem to recall there being more PHAT LEWTZ on level five maps ten years ago?"
4. When others disagree with your memories, do not reply with "WTF U R DUM" or any of its variants.
Of course, we all have our moments of strong disagreement with the shard and, even more often, its players, but if we follow the above rules, we will be that much closer to the UO Shangra La of era accuracy. If we're especially good, Derrick will implement ridable neon Maahes-es.
