no, you must obey stof or he will crush you into dust (according to his sig)

 Seconded.

 Hug? Or a choke hold? The dog certainly seems to be going for the throat.

 This is true, and lets try to keep it that way. Some of the non-Wii crowd are developing a victim complex which is driving me crazy.

10+ respect points for Bod.

maybe if galaki had an avatar, then things would straighten out...

Oh dear god the Wii is controlling my gaming marketz ZOMG NOOO. Must go crazzy and blow up all Wii Owners as they ownz me hard!11!!11!

Oh wait.. im a PC gamer.. theres more then a billion PCs I can link to and play. Not effecting me in the least in caring.

@Bod -  Good post. Thanks for the assistance in trying to sort out issues. This oddly seems to be similar to a post that was posted back when I became mod.. hmm.. wheres that agreement thread too. 

@alpha_dk - thanks for the mention. Always happy to help maintain order on this site.

Bod, you're just a love-everyone kinda guy aren't you? =D

How can anyone not love you, especially with those kitties in your avatar =)

I admit Im probably to blame for at least some of this, I am a bit stressed due to exams and even at my best I can't stand stupidity so if I have leapt down your throat in the past couple of weeks, I'm sorry and exams are finally over so it probably won't happen again. (Until next year)

But really I think a harsher clampdown needs to occur on the general trolling that occurs on these boards. Some topics are clearly made with no purpose other than to gain a reaction from certain groups of people and I believe that anybody who makes such a topic should be instantly banned for short period of time.

I'm in the same position, honestly.  Exams stress me.  I get on the boards for some free time and sometimes go off on leo-j or a.l.e.x. or someone else a little bit.  This will pass =]  Its just a stressful time for college kids (and lower education I would assume too).  

I agree to an extent about moderating a little more.  As much as I dont like seeing 15 of the top 25 threads created by the same person, or some user posting one word replies in 15 different threads, or anything else of that nature, you have to realize that this the internet.  This is a fun website that we all frequent on our down time.  Fun should be had.  But also remember that we are trying maybe look slightly credible to other websites as a sales website.  Now I realize that 98% of the users have nothing to do with the number that is displayed on the top on the main page, but I do feel it looks awkward if sites rely on us for news, direct their viewers here, and right below the numbers are topics such as "OMG SORIKU POSTS A LOT", etc.  

No worries though. These arent complaints as much as they are just thoughts in my head.  Not really too important at the moment.  Sometimes I would just like to see a little more maturity in some members.  For the most part, we are a good group of people =]
