Rant time!

[Pooky]

I'm sick of certain people constantly bitch-whinging about Metroid even though he stopped trolling long ago.

:3

I agree that things are getting off-track, let's be grateful for what we have at the moment and that we aren't like some of the other sites out there.

I agree, this is still one of my favorite forum sites to go to... not like it's halomods or something <_<

Hey rossmum, how about you take the first step in reform and stop making alts used to just get people fired up?

At least that made a very valid point, which is only being expanded on here.

then there needs to be some stronger inforcing of the rules... there was a thread the other day where alot of the older members where talking about some crap about doing atty or something, totaly derailing the thread and not a thing was done.

The rules don't apply to "established members" here, don't you know that?

wow, i never realized how seriously some people take this forum shit.

Foruming is pretty much a hobby for me, like gaming. Wouldn't you be ticked if all your games were suddenly raped by an influx of fail?

You already play favorites, so why stop there with users? Take the action these forums need.

Also, Zeph, I hope you realize you wrongfully warned Patrick. If you would have paid any fucking attention, you would have noticed I had edited his post to have a picture in a spoiler tag, as a joke. If that gets a warning, then why don't you warn InnerGoat Haruko with his posts about bear sex and all that other bullshit? Oh, thats right, because we're playing fair around these forums

That's the kind of views we need in a mod...

Oh wait wasn't I bitching about that before anyone else but no one payed any attention?

how many of your posts that you got repped for were genuinely helpful, to a serious post.

Have to agree with this, rep is more of a measure of how funny you are than anything else, but I've personally repped a lot of people (most notably CAD) for being helpful.

internets to polar.

e:

I think we need mods who aren't really strongly tied to the community (therefore having little bias or a buddy system with other members)

hi.

[n00b1n8R]

I think you still have a way to go before most of the community will accept you as a mod.

I think all these problems are a result of the limitations of "text" as a serious social medium. Anyone feel me?

Very. it's hard to tell when somebody is being sarcastic or joking about serious subjects.
but I still <3 you pookay

Probably, but their arguments are silly when they've got someone who wants to do it and is quite capable of doing it.

[Reaper Man]

we need more mods. but sadly the only people i'd consider worthy and who i would expect to do a decent job dont want it.

Ross, Snaf and P0lar.

Help Jcap help you.

ME for Mod, and i promise to go rampant, and clean this up.

not that'im powerhungry, i usually am, but not in this case, i feel i can really fix stuff here.

also for being accepted as a mod. the fact someone IS a mod means enough, that person doesnt need acceptance for being a moderator. he mods, therefore he is.

i suggest a new type of moderator.
a cleanup-moderator. a mod that can hand out minor infractions, in far greater numbers.
like ross said in the first post, to those psople being idiots about things.

As a result, even the attempts at intelligent discussion get driven into the mud by idiotic bickering over the most petty of details, and the few threads that the mods actually bother to lock are locked about 30-odd pages after they went off the rails.

[FlyingStone]

To what end will this bring us simply "talking" about it? Simply put we are waiting for Jcap to do things that need to be done. Yet he is waiting for Ghost. So we are all, 'waiting'. Instead of bickering, complaining, and ranting (no offense Ross) is there something that we can do?
Now i am going to start thinking out loud

I mainly read what others post and for the most part agree with what everyone else is saying, like in this case. Therefore there is not a reason to state my opinion, because everyone else is stating it for me.
I wouldn't mind if we got some more mods, cleaned out the user list, start making rules in stone, and most importantly keep setting the example we are trying to set. For example, Proper grammar, spelling, punctuation and most staying on-topic. These are not hard things to do, i mean setting the example, most of the members who have been here a while know that and keep doing it.

Maybe instead of putting in Mods, why not put in Rossmum, but not as in a mod perhaps a cleaner of the member list.
Lets face it, there are many on there who are not active, or who just came here for CMT, and then never return. I know how much you hate the idea of becoming a mod Ross, so why not demote it down to something easier. Why not instead of putting in mods, put in workers. I mean put in some trust worthy members who can do little things. Delete old topics, clean the members list, remove bad posts, so on and so forth. I am sure there a little things we could do if given the opportunity.

But what is all boils down to is the fact that we would have to wait on Jcap to do it something. He seems hesitant to do anything without The Ghost as some are saying.
We can talk, but i think that is as far as we can go.

The thing is, the moment I'm given the power to delete posts or ban members, you can pretty much guarantee someone will cry abuse. I don't discriminate at all, and that extends to new members just as much as old members. You fuck up, you'd be banned before you'd even left the thread after posting. I don't want to be a mod because I know I'd take it too far.

[FlyingStone]

Someone else then. But i agree with you Ross, at least your honest enough to say that you could take it to far. I wish we could get some acknowledgment that Jcap is reading this or even hearing us out.

be like me, don't care.
if a warning is wrongly give, then the person who received it can send a PM, and if 'he's right, remove the warning, simple as that.

Well, I told him this earlier (not as elaborately, mind you), and he told me I may as well post it here in full. So I did. A lot of us more senior members have been pestering the hell out of him about it for weeks.
