I dont get it. Why not just ban insiderp threads? In fact, when a thread gets factually proven wrong which happens often when developers reply on gaf and tweet then the thread should be closed. Gaf does this and you guys should too. There is no reason to have misleading information out there and only makes VGC look bad when you all have a choice to lock something


I was for this when Insiderp first started popping up.

I was a minority voice though, so... Yeah. I am all for straight up banning Insiderp threads, I just need support

I support you too! Now come to the mod chat and we'll discuss it with the others.



Signature goes here!

Im going to assume that means they will be banned for now on.  THank you :)

And as for amazon threads, im fine with but we shouldnt have 100's of threads on it.  Maybe one official thread and thats it.  Last year it got out of hand, it hasnt been as bad lately.

We arent "banning" them as we dont agree on banning sites here, but we are allowed to lock any Insiderp threads about sales at least.

Its a start

Considering banning threads, I'm not at the point where I feel like we need to have some sort of official ban list on websites/topics/etc. That's GAFs thing, but at this point it's not our thing.

However...

If a site is proving to ruin or hang up our forums (as Insiderp sales-related topics were doing), then they are in danger of ruining the discourse of the overall forum community, and therefore an issue that would need be resolved. At this point, Insiderp sales threads have been proven to be unreliable, and the majority of posts are more about that than the actual sales discussion. So it's seen as a hindrance to these forums, and therefore will most likely be locked.

If someone wanted to post another story from Insiderp (like a "our favorite games" or what not) then that's fine, since it's an opinion piece. But these "fact pieces" that are not so factual are an issue.

My response in the locked Insiderp thread:

Banning sites is not what we do here, but we will protect this forum from unreliable and undependable information that only serves to confuse and disrupt viable sales/gaming discussion.

Insiderp has been proven to be unreliable again and again, and at this point they are only capable of throwing discourse for a loop on this site.

As of now Insiderp sourced threads will most likely be locked. Including this one. ^_^



What's the max height for sigs?

The rule isn't implemented yet, but when (if) ioi does implement it, our new rules state 270 pixels in height at the max.

And how many lines of long and useless "only the user who wrote it actually cares" text does that make?
