A while ago, Grimson opened this thread to discuss about some important matters. Unfortunately, as I expected, the thread got fucl up and everyone went off topic as usual. Now I'd like to bring that topic back by opening a new one.
Let's start with this... I've not joined the internet yesterday so I can say I know how stuff works here. I've seen communities growing in size and becoming popular, and then falling from grace. Admins being too nice and tolerant + the community becoming more and more popular = death of said community.
Which is what will happen here as well if things don't change immediately. There are too many stupid threads and yes, too many users that post just for the sake of posting. Cereal polls, going off topic all the time even on threads that are important, stupid threads that make no sense whatsoever, annoying attitude in certain occasions, never-ending requests on updates regarding projects and the list goes on.
Personally I've had enough of this.
Of course I am not a moderator or an admin but I think I should say my opinion anyway. I think that in order to make this a better place for everyone the moderators should use an iron fist instead. Take a look at these rules for example. YES MINK THEY ARE FROM SKULLRANT
I think that if modified a bit these would make the best rules for this forums as well as every other forums on the internet.#1 - This site isn't exclusive to anyone in particular, but chances are if you're not welcome to the channel, or we just flat-out don't like you, you most likely aren't welcome here. In other words, if we hate you, get out
#2 - Don't spam ALL THE TIME. It's stupid and makes you look stupid.
#3 - Try not to make arguments too personal; I.E: "You only say that because your mother was a one night stand!". This includes flaming and harassment.
#4 - Keep it somewhat civil. Being silly is fine, but sometimes people WANT to have a NORMAL conversation.
#5 - If several people tell you that nobody cares, chances are pretty good that nobody cares. Stop posting.
#6 - Respect others opinions. Just because someone doesn't see things the way you do that doesn't make him an asshole.
#7 - Don't jump into serious conversations if you have no arguments. In other words, If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
#8 - The burden of proof is on you. If someone calls you out on a mistake, you better bring the proof with you when you reply.
I know I have spammed too before on this site but I don't do that ALL THE TIME. As the above rules say, "Being silly is fine, but sometimes people WANT to have a NORMAL conversation.". If you look at that Grimson thread, it seems nobody seems to agree with this one.
If you have nothing interesting to say and just want to say cereal, don't post. Find something better to do. Play a game. Get a girlfriend. Go out with friends. Do whatever you want but don't be a retard.
I also hope the moderators and admins won't take this as an offense, because I'm only expressing my opinion about how things are going in here.
So in the end, I'm pretty sure that now that I've said this, some people are going to come up with "Wait wut where's teh cereal poll?" "LOL SRS BZNZ THIS IS THE INTERNET BRO" and stuff. If this happens then I'll officially lost all hope for this community, I think. In other words, if you don't want to contribute to this thread and just want to be an idiot, please DON'T POST.
(For instance, VBB's post wouldn't have bothered me at all)
