mods deleted my last post LOL.
Dear Club House Forums,
Before saying anything, I'd like to say that I genuinely do care for this community, and believe that spreading positive energy and motivations is most always helpful, however I am not actually a peace crazed "hippie", which was the impression I purposely gave people.
The peace movement known as "Namaste", was the whole time, a series of tests conducted on the Club House forums, to see how the average poster would react to positive influences, and somewhat contrived motivation. Namaste was not a troll, please don't mistake it for such.
I will be returning to the old HelloSlackers who eats people alive; the people who post brain dead stupid garbage on this forum. But if Namaste has taught me anything, it's that a positive outlook on things really DOES help, and I'll be 3% nicer from now on, and will be reserving special flame posts for those who I believe deserve it. And I hope you all should too, as mindless flaming is in fact harmful.
Below is the results of the testing.
Day 1:
I begin giving random compliments to everyone on C&G, ending my posts always with, "Namaste". People like my change in attitude and start following in my example. I go to sleep.
Day 2:
Next day I continue giving off random compliments, strictly only on C&G for now. More people begin to join the cause in a matter of hours C&G is spammed with "Together, we CAN make a difference! Namaste *insert face here*". Most everyone begins supporting the cause, or at least, is spreading positive energy.
Within a few minutes of the sudden outburt, several people begin posting threads that resemble titles such as "NAMASTE IS A DISEASE", "I AM A SURVIVOR OF NAMASTE", or "namaste is stupid idot gtfo". Not all people who dislike the Namaste cause post stupid threads like this, though, some actually post valid arguments why Namaste wouldn't actually help. However different their reasons varied, the message was clear "You can't change things".
To "control" everything better, I decide to create the actual group, "Namaste". I was at the time out of robux, but Bellaz, LordLancer, and Natadd decided to donate robux for the group and ranks. (Thanks guys).
Namaste haters begin spiralling out of control, mutilating Namaste's group signature (yes, THAT signature, I'm pretty sure you've seen it enough). I don't think much of it, and go to sleep.
Day 3:
Lots of people at this point begin to get annoyed, and some very enthusiastic Namaste haters make their own group "anti-Namaste". At this point people begin making alternate accounts to flame Namaste both on the forums, and on our group wall. The obscenities varied from "DOWN WITH NAMASTE", to "go DIE in a hole". This however doesn't faze Namaste supporters, and we simply "fought" back with positive words of encouragement. The trolls must have found that weird.
Namaste supporters begin reaching out to the rest of the Club House forums, namely OT, LMaD, and RT. RT decides to ignore Namaste alltogether, and pretends like we don't exist. Good on them, I guess? OT begins crying but Namaste dies out very quickly on that forum. However, we had better results on LMaD, where after getting to several people, it caused some of them to come over to Namaste's birth place; C&G,and openly flame Namaste and everyone in it. Flame and spam invades Namaste's group wall, but we put on our sun glasses of joy and ignore them. I go to sleep.
Day 4:
Namaste support has died down significantly, I've only seen about 10 threads talking about Namaste.
I decide the test can be closed and marked a success.
Summary/tl;dr:
Turns out most people on the forums either don't like being nice, or simply like to join the bandwagon with the most hate. But there are plenty of other people who really do want to change the forum's attitude, and devote their time to actually doing something about it. It's clear the attitude problem lies in C&G and LMaD. RT pretty much doesn't care, along with OT, considering OT is already as peaceful and friendly as it's gonna get, which most of the time, is actually very peaceful and friendly.
Namaste will be closed forever, however, if you wish to continue spreading positive influences, both online and in real life, I completely encourage you to do so, you don't need a group called "Namaste" to make a difference.. It's not a "cool" thing being mean and a bully, but that's just how lots of people live their lives, and sometimes we can't change that. In my personal opinion I think we do need a balance of good and evil in the world; keep evil in check with the good, and keep good people aspiring to be good using evil as a motivator. I'm pretty sure there are only a handful, if any people out there, whose intentions are actually to be evil, many people mean well but end up doing the wrong thing instead; it's how the world works.
I want to thank everyone who has participated in the test, and I still encourage you to be positive and joyful, but in a more subtle, evangelical, and less selfriteous tone so that people can actually decide to follow your example slowly, instead of hating you altogether.
Special thanks to Bellaz, LordLancer, Natadd, LadyWoof, BaronOpconius, and everyone who bothered joining Namaste. It truly has been a fun and mind opening experience for both sides of the "fight". Also a very special shoutout to zainin/MiamiForHeatsALT, who blew things way out of proportion and took things a too seriously, making terrible death threats to Namaste members, and harassing me through PMs.

TL;DR:
Namaste was a psychological test I did on the club house forums. It was a complete success.

| Good work on that peace keeping, or at least trying. But however Muhammad (pbuh), a prophet of ALLAH has already succeeded this over thousands years before any of us was even born. Give him some credit. And if you look into reality, ending this group means you completely failed. So don't take credit for anything. But good try though. And finally, this was never a hate message. You have to face the truth one day, so get used to it. Period. |

| I don't think it was a test in the first place. I'm pretty sure you claim it was a test because you failed your goal. |

@legend
You're an idiot if you think of all people, my goal was to stop the club house forums from hating everything. I have 13k posts here, I know how things work.

| You're keeping peace? First of all, your group wall got spammed and you shut it down. Which doesn't make it look like it was meant to be shut down. 2nd, I honestly don't care you got 3 thousand posts. Many are teachings from the 25 prophets of ALLAH, christains mixed it all up. And now you're taking credit for something someone thought generations ago. And finally, a peace keeper, or a scholar is meant to be patient and stay calm at all times. That's something you fail by calling me "idiot." |

@Legend
Read my whole post again. The whole test was only intended to go on for a week before being shut down. Stop bringing religion into this, you can have peace without it, and throughout the test I never even used Christian or Muslim teachings, though they share similarities because they both promote peace, which assuming by your logic if I'm not Christian or Muslim, I can't be peaceful otherwise I'm taking credit for someone's idea - that's plain stupid. That's like saying I can't compose music because someone thousands of years ago composed the first piece of music and all I'm doing is copying.
On a side note, I don't have 3 thousand posts here, I have 13 thousand, with another thousand on my old account. I've posted here for 3 years now, and I have plenty experience on the club house forums. If you honestly think that I meant to bring peace through the way the test presented itself I don't even know if you're being serious anymore. |

| To be more spacific, Muhammad(pbuh) a prophet of ALLAH has thought 360 sayings. And wrote the Qur'an, wasn't so easy for someone without education. Then some random punks calling themselves christians copy some things from the Qur'an into something called bible. Now you take those teachings and take credit for yourself. Just move on with your fake life. |
