You dont want to read. Dont read it. Btw i like the way you reply

I stopped talking about it as a way to appease those with unclear standards or lack of progress. You can see it clearly, and I understand what you saying. As for the contemptuous, openly offensive language to express my ego—you’re not wrong. I didn’t belittle anyone before, if you’ve followed the conversation from the start, because I believe they didn’t know others had already discussed what they’re focus to disscuss and got better results. If that guy could talk like you, I wouldn’t care, because both our goals are and have been met to bring good results for the community.
+I don’t think anyone can tolerate or keep memeing this pointless ego when it’s contradictory and turns the slide into drama not worth reading. The way I act is simply to oppose those who oppose me without providing clear arguments, by setting a standard for storyline discussions—if they don’t meet it, I win by default, and my words hold more weight.
+As for my purpose: I want people to stop asking about things that have already been explained. (Yes, all arguments will only point to the closest theory—adding meaningless elements doesn’t make this forum better. I want people to let newcomers finish the game, get curious, listen to all hypotheses, and follow the most logical one they like, instead of some guys spamming one hypothesis to make it popular and misunderstood as the only one, even though it might not be the most logical.) Asking about things already resolved makes over 100 slides meaningless and not worth reading, as it’s all repetitive questions. You surely don’t want to read people begging for savegames to enjoy hentai flooding every slide, even though many savegames and cheat are already posted here (you see my point?).
+My two main concerns: quality (including fun questions, but they shouldn’t be repetitive, though still shared for each individual) and mutual respect (not about suppressing ego but knowing to respect those with expertise to learn tips from each other).
Fair. Yet the core issue you still seem to face is a superiority complex. Not necessarily ego, just main protagonist syndrome, even in the response alone.
Let me elaborate.
'both our goals are and have been met to bring good results for the community.'
Let's agree to disagree. I don't rightly care about "good results for the community", I care about mutually respectful conversations unless a side is openly hostile from the beginning. Then, depending on language used or aggressiveness, it's either a reply telling them off, or a simple report, mainly because:
General rule Number 1: Be respectful. Opinions are fine, attacks are not.
'The way I act is simply to oppose those who oppose me without providing clear arguments, by setting a standard for storyline discussions—if they don’t meet it, I win by default, and my words hold more weight.'
I wanna quote myself for this point: 'This isn't a competition. The only price to gain here is disdain from other people in this thread. People are here for fun and a good time. You are bringing fun only for yourself.'
It comes off like you’re setting a standard with checkboxes set up by you. If someone is missing a checkbox or two, anything they say is meaningless garbage
to you, whether someone agrees with you or the other person with their "unmet standards" - in your eyes - seemingly becomes irrelevant and shouldn't be allowed to speak unless they fit your criteria. That would be fine, if this thread and site was led by you, but it isn't.
'I want people to stop asking about things that have already been explained.'

Yeah, save file and cheat askers can be frustrating to deal with, especially when you've quoted it a hundred times or told them to use the search function. I get it. Same for general questions, whether it's gameplay or lore.
However, there's likely one hundred and one ways to tell someone to simply use the search function - as many times as needed for as many people as needed. Hostility shouldn't be an option that should be even considered, because 100+ pages or 10 pages worth of messages don't make or break someone asking for a save or cheats or what have you. They will do it anyways. You wouldn't wanna be mistreated for asking a question, not knowing any better.
Besides, those truly interested in the plot, the details or what have you are going to engage and search. You know, the meaningful ones. Those that don't, especially for you to consider doing to get it out of your mind: Just hit the ignore button. Out of sight out of mind, because them asking or yapping isn't breaking any site rules, so the most you can do is pretend they don't exist. Yelling at them won't make anyone happy.
'follow the most logical one they like'
They will do that regardless of whether it's only you speaking or One Hundred and One Dalmatians barking about steaks. That's human nature. Whether I agree with the popular but nonsensical steak route, or a deep-thought out and logical theory shouldn't matter to anyone.
'You surely don’t want to read people begging for savegames to enjoy hentai flooding every slide, even though many savegames and cheat are already posted here (you see my point?).'
Oh, I do. But where else are they supposed to ask it? If you want a lore discussion thread, open one up. Again, asking for saves or cheats, whether answered one hundred times or not, are on the game topic and thus not breaking site rules. Like I said.
'My two main concerns: quality (including fun questions, but they shouldn’t be repetitive, though still shared for each individual) and mutual respect (not about suppressing ego but knowing to respect those with expertise to learn tips from each other)'
1. Quality is subjective. I might consider Rabiane eating through her butt and pooping out her mouth to be canon and to be a discussion worth talking about and discussing. It's still on topic, it's stupid but who's to say it's not true? In a world where slugs do the hankey-pankey with you, is it impossible? No. Is it quality? Hell if I know. I might say yes or no and any other person might agree or disagree.
Thus to reiterate: Hit the ignore button. You can't change that.
2. Mutual respect. What you said isn't mutual respect.
Mutual respect means
treating other people with dignity and recognising their value.
You want people to read and hear only what you deem is worth hearing and reading, from the "experts". That's not discussion or debate, that's an echochamber.
Lastly, I've shown respect towards you, even in this response. However, it seems the "mutual" part got lost in the sauce, since you only make excuses despite admitting that '
As for the contemptuous, openly offensive language to express my ego—you’re not wrong.'
And the excuse being:
'I didn’t belittle anyone before.'
The fact of the matter is - you have and you still did in this reply. Anyone who isn't an "expert" shouldn't speak up in your eyes, because they spread misinformation and meaningless rambling that leads nowhere. Not just asking for saves and cheats, but "wrong, low quality" theories.
I'm not saying this because I wanna dunk on you. I'm saying this because someday you might say something a mod might not appreciate. You don't wanna mess with them. Not because they're mean or hostile, but because while I might forgive things, as I don't necessarily hold grudges, but people sometimes forget that mods aren’t interested in intent—just outcome.
Don't get yourself into hot water for things that could be solved with a simple block button.
