Title: GTM is Filled with Fail.

 :vista:
 
This is the most leniant forum I have ever seen. If there were people writing the kind of crap on the Digital Press that I have read here they would be instantly banned, but some of you guys continue to piss and moan about the moderators here not banning this person or that person. In my honest opinion, anyone who does that should be banned themselves. I, personally, would like to see ACAMS, Madiaba, and kill343gs do some house cleaning and ban some of your pathetic asses, just to show that they're not kidding.

Solution #1: Stop posting here.


Solution #2: Kill yourself.

You'll just have to face the fact that this isn't a perfect forum. Admins and mods have tons of stuff to do outside their internet lives while these young users start to enjoy their 3 (more or less) months of vacation. And as you can see here, some young users tend to have a hard time disciplining themselves. But in time, they'll behave (take a look at Hydro). Like life, it has its own crests and troughs. I'm pretty sure you can understand that. :D

Fourth thread in 24 hours about this.


Frankly I think the influx of new members has made quality go down but it has NOT necessitated bans. The mods should just try to get people to post more intelligently and less useless stuff like

EVERYTIME I FIRE THE FLIPER STUCKS >:O

I still say that Ava and S98 need temp bans so they will shape up. Sparkey is pretty much the second coming of LRA2, and avalanche IS the second coming of LRA2, and hes starting to act like it again.

I think that some of the lenience is a result of how the forums USED to be in the older days, when people were banned with little provocation.

OH, there is more to it than just a Limited title......THEY can assure you!
I may cut them a little slack in a few days, but both will be in the limited group for a while.

I have seen people banned for arguing with a Moderator about nothing.

We're a forum supporting a dying game with mabye 25-30 regulars if we're lucky. And less members would help keep the community alive how?

The mods should just try to get people to post more intelligently

my question is why is it up to the moderators to manage ?

there are times when yes.. we need to intervene but we arnt baby sitting here, those spamming and posting rubbish need to take responsibility and show some self control not leaving the mod team with hours of cleaning work.

if you can use the internet you must know how to respect others and not be selfish.

(dont take this as directed at yourself Condor, just using your post as an example. those offending need to listen to this ^)

You can't say that JoeBlo. As it was brought up by Inf in his HIERARCHY thread, even the veterans have no power to do anything. We cannot prevent spamming or rubbish posts at all, but Mods and Admins can. THAT is why it is your job. People don't just realize one day: "Hey, I'm not going to spam anymore and I will post like an educated person."
That doesn't happen. We need intervention by you guys to instigate some discipline. Since you are not willing to give Veterans any power, you MUST take that burden on YOUR shoulders, because the people themselves won't.

Look, all I meant by this topic is that all Hell is breaking loose, but nobody is doing anything about it. I have a feeling that if this continue this way, these forums will go the way of the AceUplink forums. Or that all the veterans will eventually get tired of it and leave, leaving nothing but n00bs here. When that happens, GTM may as well be dead.

Are you saying veterans are the only thing keeping GTM alive? In my mind it's the exact opposite. New people joining helps bring new ideas into the forums, and keep the RA2 community diverse. Losing all the vets would hurt, but it wouldn't damage the RA2 community that much.

You're afraid GTM will go the way of AceUplink, so you advocate that the admins do exactly what AceUplink did. The main reason why veterans hated AceUplink is because they were ban happy. Increase the amount of bans and you'll just increase the likelihood of a revolt.

Im just sayin'

even though its what we will end up doing it is basically like looking after children. people can have there fun and go off topic every once in a while no problem.. but but people who just spam up the place.... they are being selfish, pain and simple.

imo ACAMS is handling this the best with the limited system
