Forums - Website Topics - VGC: The "Eye for an Eye" attitude

Akvod said:

 

XBO Nation, NintenDomination, PS Nation were made because of me as well as An Unbiased Review, countless gaming pieces as well was because of me.  You dont have to admit to it but I have contributed to this site a lot. 

So you've made threads segregating people based on consoles, and made a thread with the premise that others are biased and that you are unbiased. Well done, you've really created a positive attitude in this forum.


Those are some of the most positive threads on this site actually.  Visit them and you will see mostly discussion about platforms users like or people joking around with each other. PS Nation is especially known for having fun and joking around.

Again i ask, what have you contributed to this site?  Those three threads combine for more than you contibuted in 4 years (15,000 comments and around 300k views) thanks to Pezus, Tbone, Conegamer, (these three are Awesome members) me, and the community that supports them rather than trashing the competitors.

Funny things is if you criticize those threads you arent only criticizing me but also the people who worked on them and the people who visit them every day.

Another question are you trying to prove i am a horrible user again?  You've done this a few times now and been banned multiple times for it.  Yet you continue and then say im making a witch hunt xD

Instead of continue to prove this point that you started i believe 7 months ago after I made a XBL thread, maybe you should try contributing to this site in a positive way which is really what this thread is about in the first place :)

Well, I first don't think giant threads where people just joke around are very constructive.

1) It dilutes the conversation/Removes focus

I like to think of threads almost as serving a lasting transcript. You can read it years later and depending on how good the thread/discussion was, really get something out of it.

Tell me, years later, will someone be able to read through the entire thread and learn something from it? Given that there's not even a single topic?

2) It just becomes filled with trivial conversations.

Like you said, people just banter and joke around in that thread. Also, by the same people too. Your giant threads become a place where a small minority who sticked with the thread from start to finish to make inside jokes and have random chit chat. I believe that chatrooms are lot more useful medium than threads for that kind of thing.

3) They clog up the forum.

It's not really that a single giant thread is a problem, but that multiple giant threads that last forever are problems. They clog up the forum, either by being bumped up constantly or being stickied. Again, going back to point 1, it makes a lot more sense to have threads centered around a specific topic.

As for my contributions, it's that I try and learn from mistakes. I've made bad threads and posts in the past, and I still do. But that's why I try to excercise self restraint and be critical about myself.

I think your spelling and grammar mistakes are symptomatic of the problems I find in you. You need to slow down. I really don't mean that as an insult. It's a tough lesson I've learned years ago, and still am learning (hell, I still make lots of mistakes and re-edit my posts constantly). Take your time when writing your post and try to improve them as much as you can before posting that submit button.

That is fine if you dont like them but it doesnt mean other people dont like them.  XBO Nation actually has updates on the front page btw so you dont have to read through the comments.  Pezus Updates his often as well. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=164905&page=1#  

And yeah i do make a lot of mistakes when typing.  I typically don't read over my comments once I get finished typing (unless I am doing work for college )and just submit.  I am aware of that but I do agree with you in that case :)

Again. It's more efficient to have multiple threads with seperate topics than a single thread with multiple topics. I mean, why not just fuck organization all together, and get rid of all the threads, forums, and have one giant thread?

 

It's very, very disheartening to see the same threads with dozens of pages take up a quarter or third of the topic list.

It's also more disheartening to see you pump out threads and a lot of them either just being ones obviously trying to attract replies (e.g. contests, official X threads) or this kind of meta thread.

 

Hell, if you want to make a compilation thread, make a fucking anti-fanboyism meta thread, so we don't have to repeat this every 2 weeks or something.

Oh we are back on this again?  Well this conversation has went in a complete circle.  As i said before youre making accusations and nothing more.  No need to explain anything more as you can read them in the previous comments we have had.

If you disagree then so be it.

Will try to keep this short. The bold point I find pretty daunting when it comes to the 10k+ reply threads, where are new people meant to jump in on that and say "hey I love xbox too, does that mean that by posting here I must not post about ps?" and the underlined is even more to the point a lot of these Xbox fans only/ps fans only and Nintendomination threads appear to mostly just be a place where the biggest offenders of this "eye for an eye" attitude that you want dropped dwell. People come to vgchartz, spend a while posting 100% happy news for one company then leave that and take a look in another thread where people are talking about a specific game and are suddenly shocked to find opinions differing from their own.

As for you claiming that Akvod has less of a say on anything based on them not having contributed and started off the biggest longest threads here on vgchartz? I would love to see where in the rules and regulations of this forums that rule has come into play and moreso how someone has appointed themselve the judge, Jury and executioner of someone not contributing enough. A sad day when someone thinks they have the right to tell someone else they're not worthy enough to post.

I assume youre talking to me?  Im not trying to be a judge etc  

Akvod: Why not just take all that time and energy to write a thought provoking and interesting thread about video games?

To which i referred to him a few topics that I have.  You can also view the other 1000 threads ive made and see I've got a lot of conversations started about games and plenty of positive stuff at that which i referred him to multiple in just thas past few days.  I was pointing out how hypocritical it is to say something like that when I dont see him making anything interesting to talk about.  

If he is going to complain about interesting threads about video games then surely he can make them, yet i see none in sight.

he personally has made 6/10ths the number of posts as you in almost the same amount of time but you expect him and now me to go and read through all 10k of your posts but don't consider a single one of his 6k+ to be noteworthy and of value to this site? I find that pretty hard to believe.

I was inactive until November of last year for starters.

Once again, not saying he isnt worthy.  Im saying his post is hypocritical and if he wants to complain then he can make some interesting threads(Not posts).  Since ive been on this site (November 2012) I dont believe ive seen any threads from him, let alone anything interesting.

I'm just saying that ioi made the site where the answer to "what gives you the right to say X..." is the same as what gives you the right to ask the question, this isn't N4g (thank the lord!! which I do not believe in as anything other than the means to a powerful phrase) we don't have a number of chat bubbles based on how popular we are with the other popular members on here. Unless a moderator bans us then we all have to respect the views and opinions of what everyone else has to say on here. Heck you might not agree with what people do both on and off site, but unless they break the rules there is nothing stopping anyone from posting.
