VGC's stance on Thread Quality and Enforcement

No mention of proper spelling and grammar in thread titles?

Threads about Youtube videos tend to be the worst from a content perspective. In most cases the videos are longer than ten minutes, but the OP can't be bothered to provide a summary of the bullet points. In most cases the video also represents a poor argument that is considered a good argument by the OP, because the OP tends to be a person who can't put together anything by himself. Such threads are wasting the community's time.

I agree that the mod actions are too inconsequential. Too often there are only thread locks, even for well-known offenders. As if it would be any problem to justify a ban for spamming for someone like LivingMetal.

I would count that under low quality. It sounds petty but it is very infuriating to me as well. Wrong spelling in a thread title is yet another sign that creators aren't even having a second look at what they do. I included it now in the description of Quality content.

It gets even worse when they try to justify it by being on their phone. I mean WTF? If you can't guarantee quality in your thread then don't fucking make a thread.

LivingMetal made enough obvious dupes to warrant a revocation of his thread making rights. I wonder if he was even warned once about this.

I'm all about thread quality. I'm not particulary a great writer and "poster" myself (specially because I'm not an English native speaker so I have some difficulties with the language). So I avoid to make them. I don't think I have the proper knowledge to do that. I think everyone should know about their limitations and avoid to make some...questionable threads. Sorry, I don't think that's against "freedom of speech", but there are some threads that are truly offensive XD.. I'm all about moderation in forums, and the harsher, the better.

That's the level of common sense I would like to see from everybody. There is no reason to give bad content a platform. I mean even Sony doesn't let every bad game on their store front. At least most of the time.

I got banned once because I criticized someone for his lack of quality in his thread.
