I've read through most of the posts that Darkstar has created. And in each topic that Darkstar posts, there is always one or two people who are criticizing Darkstar himself.
Sure his ideas are not well thought out. But that does not give anyone the right to what I see as total character flaming.
To whomever said that his ideas belong in the Designs, Artwork, Creativity, forum, they belong here. This forum IS designed to talk about the next Star Trek Series and movies.
Dudes, cut it out. If this continues, I will not only snip and edit the posts, I will also e-mail a copy of them to Charles himself. I hate to do it, but Darkstar is welcome to post his ideas without the threat of Character Assassination.
That is all.

Clarification: When I meant his posts, I was looking at his posts in his last 10 days. His other posts before these really do have good ideas in them.

Actually, they do belong in D&A. Just because one says it's a "series 5 idea", doesn't mean that it is. GD discussions about series 5 should be about the real series 5. Stuff that's simply made up and has no bearing whatsoever on the actual series does fall under the heading of "creativity".

I also would say that Darkstars ideas belong into the Design etc. area.
I must say his ideas are not that bad, not very outworked, but... If i were you Darkstar, i would compile them and try to make a descent storyline out of it. I'm trying to built my own StarTrek series myself for over 5 years by now... and i'm still not finished yet constructing it...
OH btw, the idea for my series premise was raised by someone... Its about the collapse of the Romulan Empire. Just for the credit, who was it anyway?
And please, stop to humiliate Darkstar! If you've problems with his ideas state it in a reasonable fashion.
It is really unnerving to read something like that!

Tahna: I was the one who suggested that Darkstar post his series ideas in DA&C. In no way was I criticizing him or making a personal attack on him. This was my exact wording:
"You might want to post your series ideas in the "Design, Artwork, and Creativity" forum instead of the General forum. "Series V" is going to be whatever TPTB make it. Make your own name for your series and post it at DA&C."
I wrote this post immediately after giving him some constructive criticism about how to write his story ideas. And I made the above suggestion for exactly the same reasons TSN just mentioned.
As for my post about counting his total posts, I can definitely see where someone would take offense at how I worded it. I certainly did not intend it to be taken that way, and I apologize if it was.
First, maybe. I know he had a series involving the collapse of the Romulan Empire too.

Only fooling, kid. Don't think we don't want you around, just. . . try to write your posts a bit better, OK? Round here, presentation is everything. I'm horrible to everyone, but I do it in a polite well-written way.

What The Fuck? Altair said nothing offensive at all.
I have nothing against what Darkstar says. I think what may be more of a 'problem' is the way he tells things.
Just my opinion...
Umm.....Okay, he's got a problem with the way Darkstar tells things. So do I. Apparently this is offensive in such a way that he "needs to watch his mouth", which you put, quite crassly, into the conversation.
He didn't call anyone a 'Cum Slurping Racoon Fucking Herpes Infested Homeless clown whore', he said something of little offensive value at all.
