Does not having a filter somehow make you guys feel more mature or something?

Does not having a filter somehow make you guys feel more mature or something?

'Evening SPUFpowered,

As of this hour, I feel it be in my responsibility to provide some insight to recent controversy. These are my honest thoughts..

When een first started SPUFpowered in January 2012, it was created as a refuge for Spuffers who wanted to hang out. The forum was to be a place for friends to chat without the hustle and clutter of the larger Steam Users' Forums. This place is not without a set of guidelines. Although we tend to follow said guidelines, we adopt an overly "lax" attitude. Simply put, we can't behave and the longer we've been here the more rambunctious and immature some people have become for the sake of "just friends being lax".

A closed circle of friends, where everyone knows everyone, can cause issues with forum management. Moderators are less likely to do their jobs because they're afraid they'll be shunned by a certain person. For example, if Rynjin suddenly becomes extremely hostile towards Razputin and starts up arguments with him at every corner, would Rammite be quick to punish him? Would Rammite fear being shunned by his friend because he did his job? Will others cry Stalin if he closes a cluster-mucked thread?* Any attempts at cleaning up messes and shutting people up results in accusations of dictatorship.

* = Example only, not actual implication of hostilities between users

As for Freaky Fetishes, it is simply a sign of immaturity on our end. I don't even know where to begin, it's creepy? Stupid? Immature? Filled with TMI posts? Responsible for chasing people off the boards? Gross and annoying? If such a thread was replicated on SUF, we'd all be banned or at least put in timeout. It has gone on for long enough and the shenanigans need to end soon. Any crying over it has to be ignored and taken as a sign of immaturity. Why did it even need to exist?

TL;DR


[*]Knock it off with the shenanigans and being immature dunces.
[*]
[*]Learn to respect others in the forum space by not posting perverted threads made to satisfy some suck boner fantasy
[*]
[*]Moderators, ignore the crying. If you feel a thread needs to go, take it down. Letting the "lax friends circles" attitude degrades the board.
[*]
[*]We've lost quite a few people recently because of how we act. I am not saying the Fetish thread was the cause, but it may have had it's part.

And now for my most stressed point regarding 18+ discussion:


[*]It's not necessary, those kinds of discussions simply don't need to exist. What would you do? Talk about porn? Argue about gays and abortion? Hardly mature with the member roster we have. It would end up causing more trouble than it would solve.

Only the TF team would be okay promoting a site that hosts a variety of sick, disgusting things usually hound in 4Chan's NWS boards. Valve, the only company that can make incredible games yet make awful patches at the same time.

This one right here is the one who should get the hat.

G'evening. I just wanted to greet the people of this community. Ted here introduced me to your forums and it looks to have quite a plethora of shenanigans and tom foolery. I like it. Since this *is* a gaming community, I suppose I should make a mention of games. Uh. Yeah. I play games. Good stuff. I'm not about to make a long winded speech about how people think females who play games are a rare oddity because, really, it's not all that uncommon and it's not really worth mentioning. I'm also not about to brag about it. Gaming's just always been an integral part of my life. That's all there is to it. So yeah. Just sayin' hello. :)

What do you call an espionage action film about supports?

I also got my girlfriend a copy of Scribblenauts: Unlimited.

Because that 2 second disable has a pretty long cooldown.

The entire Dota/Lol community summed up.

You should schedule a time in the coming week to start playing your first games with us. It's better to wait for us to teach you ourselves in a practice game. It's completely alien to most other games, including Starcraft-Style RTS games. It is a DotA-Style RTS. Until then, watch these guides and do not start playing until we can organize a get-together: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=akUNmFAzS98
The game also requires solid detication and anything nonsrs/on the lines of sandvich party gets you player reports and possibly a temp ban from Dota 2 completely if you amass enoughs of them. Only play the game if you have an hour or more to spare as disconnecting a live match is considered "abandoning" and ruins the game for everyone else.

I tell the women I'm a hard carry.

Drow Ranger Concise Guide (NO CAPS LOCK)

When to pick:

Other team does not have Death prophet or Huskar.

Other team does not have loads of disables.

Other team is not made up of coward blinking or invisibility heroes.

Do not pick Drow Ranger if the other team fails to meet these criteria. A half-way decent Huskar is a pain to deal with. So are blinking and invisibility heroes or those with spammy nuke disables.

Itembuild:

You'll want to take the standard Salve and Tango combo as well as a Slipper of Agility, Circlet and an Iron Branch. This allows for an early Wraith Band without sacrificing decent stats out of the Fountain.

You'll want to go for Power Treads, set to Strength (red) when not farming and Agi (green) when farming. Manta Style is a must have for Drow Ranger, farm a Yasha then finish it by getting an Ultimate Orb and the recipe. Since the 6.75 patch, her ult has been buffed significantly and is very effective when paired with a Manta Style. Use Manta Style for tower pushing and to avoid targeted disables. If a Chaos knight for example, is trying to fling Chaos Bolt on you, he'll probably hit an illusion unless you have Frost Arrows on, then he'll just hit the one firing white arrows.

After you have a Manta Style, go for the usual Crystalys then Daedalus drill, don't forget to make a Helm of the Dominator for easier farming and because lifesteal on ranged carry. You'll also be able to build it into a Satanic later on if you desire.

-Starting-

Salve and Tangos

Slippers of Agility

Circlet

Iron Branch

-Early-

Power Treads

Yasha

Wraith Band

-Mid game-

Manta Style

Helm of the Dominator

Crystalys

-Late game-

Daedalus

Butterfly

Satanic

Skill build:


If you stack 2 or more Wraith Bands, get out. I know we all did this from time to time, but just don't.

Take Frost Arrows at level 1 and max them out by level 7. Take at least 1 level of Silence somewhere around level 4 and level Trueshot Aura alongside Frost Arrows. If you're being pummeled, take some stats instead of Trueshot Aura. Simple.

Laning:

Middle works fine, but side lanes work just as well. If you have a Pudge or Invoker on your team, let him mid or if you have a teammate that needs basic protection in a side lane. Drow Ranger in a side lane is first-blood and gank heaven.

If you take mid, remember to deny and farm last hits. Also, try to harass your lane opponent and check the runes. There's nothing worse than a mid Drow that doesn't gank a lane and just sits there and farms the whole game. Once you get your Power Treads, try leaving mid for a gank or push.

Mid game:

This is when you push in the outer towers and skirmish with the other team. You are a very vulnerable hero. No escape mechanism. You do have a 6 second silence so that helps to screw up initiations from the other team and prevent others from escaping and whatnot. Although you are soft, don't be afraid to take advantage of your massive DPS potential. When the time is right and your team is ready to get in the muck, don't hesitate yourself. Right click and silence everything. Your slows help keep runners from escaping and tanky bricks from getting close to you.

When not in a teamfight, go into hardcore farming mode. Think Anti-Mage's I FINISHED FARMING program. You need a Manta, you need a Daedalus. And if you just HAVE to, you may build a Shadow Blade. :/

Late game:

You're a walking death canon. Right click and silence, don't be afraid to get dirty and don't pussy out and let your push or teamfight go down the drain. If you're fighting really dangerous fights, reserve yourself slightly, you may be the only thing keeping the team up.

Allies:

Heroes with disables and slows, some of your worst enemies are people you want on your team. Frost Arrows and Silence plus any other slow or disable is a free kill.

Enemies: See opening "When to and not to pick" section.

Okay, basics shouldn't come as a surprise to you. Things like moving and abilities and mana and gold and a fair amount of the items should make sense to you.
Basic Dota mentality will just have to be taught to you, but that should be an easy process.
It goes something like this:

- Never die. Ever. Ever. Ever. Dying gives money and EXP to the enemy, and you can probably tell that's a bad thing. If you run away because you thought you had low health or thought they would insta-kill you before you could act, no one will blame you.

- Kills are nice, but they're a strategic choice. If you go out of your way to kill someone, you might walk into a trap, or past a turret, or watse time while you could have been winning the game.

- This game is hard. We're really not exaggerating at all. There are 90 heroes right now, 108 when the beta ends. Each and every one of them has at least 4 abilities. That's 400+ ways to ♥♥♥♥ you over. Perserverance is really the only way to learn this crap.

- This game isn't for everyone. It really isn't. Some people just don't like the demand it puts on, or the gameplay doesn't suit them at all. That's cool too.


you spelled spuflight wrong

Nah, I'm sitting this one out. I couldn't care less about other people's passion for ponies anymore.

"-console" in launch options.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Seriously, calling someone stupid for outsmarting you multiple times you doesn't say very nice things about you. Either that, or anyone who doesn't agree with you is stupid, which makes everyone in this thread stupid I guess. Maybe in the future they'll have a surgery to remove fanboy goggles, but until then, enjoy living in a fantasy world.But anyways...http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c2Vb7CqTdc
