So when they put in dumb poo poo in the OP like they did in the old SC thread here

We're good?

This should be fun

louisgod made the thread because the one before it generated something like a thousand reports a day and he probably got tired of dealing with it, so that was probably the reason for that part of the OP

my way is working better


there was a time not long ago when Games was super heavily moderated, there were shitloads of probations and bans being handed which is kind of cyclical because people saw that dudes got hit immediately for trolling or posting something quasi-trollish and started reporting everything to keep it going. i do like 100% of the reports now and i dont punish for pretty much poo poo except for spamming or goatse or serious rules breaking. almost every report gets ignored. people are noticing this because the total reports that come in throughout the day are going down over time

like i understand the old way of moderating and what it was going for but its pretty much loving impossible and we have the data to show that. like originally if there was a slapfight you'd go in and squash that poo poo immediately because you thought you were saving the thread. now i can look at a report for two dorks arguing about smash bros and see that nobody gives a poo poo about them calling each other gaywads because they like dedede. it lasts like half a page and its over so whats the point in trying to stop that poo poo its like loving whack-a-mole. same for trolling really. people get trolled because they say something dumb almost 99% of the time and they should rightly be poked at and if they cant handle that then maybe they have the wrong forum yea?????

Did someone actually spend money to red text you

Also I bet Zooloo might be persuaded to enable a field trip if it resulted in less reports

it rarely happens but if someone buys me an avatar i keep it for like a week because it would be weak as poo poo to make someone waste 10 bux

especially if that 10 bux is on top of 345 dollars for space ship in game that doesnt exist

Sorry about that (not really)

I wonder if the person who purchased Zen's new avatar will spend more money to correct the typo, they seem to really care about that kind of thing

Steam thread's new releases trip reports are a service to all. It's legit good. If it comes here, they should be welcomed as sorta gay but well meaning bros. :hfive:

Swapping Dota threads seems like the best candidate honestly since it generates the most reports according to Kewpuh. We can provide a public service and have fun while doing so.

Ideally you'd want to gas all Dota and LoL threads on the forums, then make a single "Dota & LoL" thread in Imp Zone.

I like the idea of a MOBA ghetto more than that, since every big company is making one and the communities for every single one make MMO communities look amazing in comparison
