What I Have Learned From Cubic Castles.

Cubic Castles, from the day I started it, was an amazing game, where people spoke to each other, made parkours, and all around enjoyed themselves. But, in September 23rd, 2015. I heard of the most horrid concept in this game, scamming. It blew my mind to know that, even in such an amazing game, something so small, whether or not its good or small, could expand into something insane. As you know, Cubic Castles needs people to stop this scamming, people are saying that we can't stop it, but we can. All we have to do, is have hope. Hope is like happiness, have it, and it spreads. But something like scamming, also does the same, not all the time, but it can, very easily. And you know, part of the adventure mode, really made me feel bad. The first scammer that I saw was actually named Kip. And i did nothing, to stop it. Which, now, makes me feel like an idiot. To all those who have seen/experienced scamming, please, and I mean PLEASE, don't just watch it happen. Do something about it. That brings me into what I have learned from cc, never think that something small, good or bad, won't increase significantly if you don't do anything about it. Because believe me, you will know what it feels like to live in a world of destruction if we don't do anything. I know that, Cosmic Cow, and the mods, admins, etc, have done things to stop it, and it actually made a difference, but they aren't 100% meant to stop this, they have other things to be worrying about in this game, like the few glitches I have heard about. If this game becomes less known for what its amazing, awesomeness, and more for the scamming and bullies, its mainly the community's fault for not taking action, and just thinking cosmic cow will fix it all. Cosmic Cow can fix someone's day and someone's game, but what they can't do is 100% end scamming. But we can, because we have experienced it. Now I will make a topic about bullying, but I don't want this to be super long.

People were kind and amazing and didn't act like jerks to random people.
Hope isn't a solution, I know that in most cases of life is an illusion of solution, but if you have hope on scammers, you are saying that you should go to pay aways, and paid pick the coluor, and play the drop game, becouse you hope, that someday, scamming will stop existing, while in reality, you are just feading scammmers ._.
Nice text, but not efficient.
And I'm kinda sad to see these payaways, they came out of nowhere, from one day to another, and honest players where like "Whut's happening O_o ?"
It's probably my beard :U
I tried to encourage change, and to spread love and stop hate. But in the end, all people do is shoot the ideas down. There are a few people who agree with what we say, but it doesn't last long. Everyone just shoots down ideas like this and they don't actually care about it.
It starts with you mate, push aside all the negativity this community throws at you, and start making a small difference for yourself, because if they don't care, then it doesn't change for them, but if you care, the game becomes so much more enjoyable.
Don't try to start a revolution or a mass movement, because these people don't want that, they want to tell you how you will fail and how it will never work.
Scamming is just one of those things that people are passionate about ending, but haven't done a lot about. Mainly because is there really a fixed solution to this? Bullying is similar. There is no fixed solution to bullying, HOWEVER situations can change depending on how YOU react to it.
This is my discussion which is about encouraging kindness c;

We did not shoot your idea because it was bad, we shoot it because your idea wouldn't stop scamming as a mass. And no, we don't shoot down the ideas because we don't care, we shoot them down because we care more than you, and caring more, we want solutions, and not "Oh pls don't be mean"
Pushing aside the negativity Is kinda counter productive don't you think mate? Shouldn't you be paying MORE attention to the problem, instead of looking away?
And, we don't want a revolution? Mate... What are you on about? We WANT a revolution, we WANT mass change, WE WANT A BETTER GAME, and for it to happen, we need anti scamm ideas, not complains about it, not helping
with ideas to stop such hateful parasite.
And, how do you fail, if the only thing we say is that your speech doesn't have an actual solution?
Most "scams" happen because players trust the wrong people with perms, or they don't trade with a cash register (since CRs are now craftable, this shouldn't be much of a problem anymore)
People just need to be aware that other people can lie
Instead of trying to convince "scammers" to stop "scamming," inform the players on the Do's and Dont's
If you go look at my previous topics about these issues you are one of the biggest haters, and the one that literally has no hope what so ever, and if you do... you have a non ethical way of showing it.
I'm not going to argue with you anymore... because I would be contradicting what I'm fighting against.
I can almost guarantee that when this topic reaches page 2 the majority of the people that "WANT a mass change", will let it blow over and carry on as normal.
A few friends of mine have been helping me with fighting against these issues one step at a time, because we have people who rant about wanting change, but do absolutely naught about it.
Mate.
