| TalonMan said: The biggest problem here is the 'crying wolf' stuff that goes on. A number of users (and believe me, I'm not looking at anyone in this particular thread) will report people as 'trolling' just because they post something contrary to their personal opinion - grow some thicker skin, people!!! Granted, the points in this thread are valid (and Squilliam, I'll say I've seen YOUR particular name in our mod queue on more than one occasion!) but how much more can we do? I think we do a pretty DAMN good job around here - we give you guys more leeway than any other site I can think of and only truly act if you're abusing the privledge. Would you prefer we turn into a Gamespot? If you say 'ass' you'll get suspended? How about Gaf where we'll ban you if you mention a word we don't like??? I think we're trying to foster an intelligent and mature community by giving you all the opportunity to act intelligent and mature, rather than treating you all like children. Yes, there are the occasional dunder-heads that infiltrate and maybe we don't always get them immediately after they've been reported - but we certainly do our best, and I think even with our faults, we have a better community than other websites. |
This is very good.
I hope you continue with this policy.
I'm against more banning and stuff. But Im aware of the prblem that Squilliam describes. Just lock slightly more threads and this site will be fine (slightly more).
Censorship is so huge on the Internet, and I hate it!! Fukkin control-freak mods are on every forum out there.
