What are the rules of MMO HMO at this point? The previous Wildstar thread, which should have been about enjoying the failure of a terrible game, devolved into people calling each other faggots, a melt down, someone wishing that someone else would end up unemployed and on food stamps, some top lel 4chan memes and a bunch of other unfunny poo poo. And it went on for a long rear end time. Is that type of thing kosher now? Can we just spam away with the memes? The new Wildstar thread is actually an alright place to watch the game fall apart from a distance. But that thread really seems to have gotten out of control and gone on that way for way too long.

Widestancer posted:E: I think there were reasons that thread got completely poo poo up much like one or two other choice threads. With the absence of people posting furry scat porn and other dumb poo poo it's gotten way more readable. The thread got poo poo up in large part because of your posting.

The only reason the Wildstar thread as well as the Archage thread became actually interesting is because the people that were making GBS threads them up got bored and went elsewhere. Velthice posted:What I'm saying is even if there wasn't a bunch of drama and dumb nerds getting the owned and being salty about it, I think these threads would have reached the same conclusion. Yeah, since in tyool 2014 on the internet comedy forum Somethingawful dot Com repeatedly telling someone you hope they end up unemployed and on food stamps is the pinnacle of comedy! Then, when multiple people point out that you are being an unfunny rear end screaming "WHITE KNIGHTS!!! WHITE KNIGHTS!!!!!!' and "I TROLLED U TOP KEK LOL PUPPETMASTER!!! is even funnier! The people posting dumb poo poo so they can brag about how salty and owned the other nerds in the MMO HMO are could at least do everyone a favor and be funny.

Widestancer posted:Maybe you're the source of comedy and you don't know it. Part of being mature is having thick skin. If you want people to act more mature maybe don't make absolutely retarded arguments (see archeage/eve threads) or have the resilience of tissue paper (wildstar thread). I am really surprised you would give this advice, especially considering you are the one who melted down and started ranting about white knighting in the Wildstar thread. The only thing these idiotic "le puppet master troll!!!!" posts accomplish is derailing threads and causing drama that no one enjoys. Its not about thick skins, its not even about staying on topic. Its about how people are getting into the obnoxious habit of being blatantly malicious and unfunny which causes otherwise ok threads to become cesspits.

Eonwe posted:Also the gif posting thing doesn't happen in a lot of threads, and is usually only when people start saying really loving dumb things. The gif posting usually happens when someone gets called out far acting like an rear end. Rather than actually try to straighten things out and get a thread back on some kind of track, nope, people just post feels.jpg when they are called out and things get even shittier. If we are really lucky people start calling each other faggots! Comedy! Yay!

Eonwe posted:I think I've seen more 'ironic' meme posting in games by people whining about it this week than posting by the people who are being accused of it, lol All of the memes I've posted in this thread were posted unironically in previous threads. The reason you are seeing more 'ironic' posting of them probably has something to do with the fact that people are getting tired of seeing the loving things. While loosened moderation standards have done a lot of make games a better place, they have also lead to some really dumb things being posted over and over and over. There needs to at least be some standard.

The Wildstar thread I mentioned earlier is a good start. It became a poo poo hole of low content posts consisting of people posting 4chan memes, calling each other human being, getting blatantly and unfunnily abusive, "top lel i r puppet master" posts, etc etc. It goes from bad to worse right around here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3657496&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=98

Eonwe posted:Duh he linked the wildstar thread, a very relevant thread for a good game with socially well adjust goons who post lots of interesting content filled posts and was ruined by trolling Where have I ever said any of this about the Wildstar thread? The thread was an entertaining train wreck abpout a bad game to say the least, but it became just boring and sad when people started making GBS threads it up with low content, low effort posts that were not funny. Hell, just take a look at what this thread has devolved into for an example of why there needs to be some base line standard for posting.

Contest Winner posted:So hypothetically what would a base line standard of posting be? I have no clue. I'd imagine that would be up to mods/community/whatever to decide. No memes/no racism/at least on basic sentence seems like a fairly reasonable standard though. The bar doesn't exactly need to be high.

Widestancer posted:So is the epic troll here to post me saying mean things to other people No, the point I've been making is that the current moderation standards have lead to unfunny poo poo posting becoming way too common. Mean spirited, unfunny slur laden posts are loving dumb. So are pointless meme posts. They are becoming so common it is impossible to even have a conversation ins disucssion threads on these forums. Does anyone even remember the question I asked that started this loving derail? You should, you were the first person to reply to it. And what was your reply? Comedy posts are great, but this dumb no content poo poo posting that is clogging up the forums is bad.

its more like lax moderating standards have lead to the games forum routinely becoming a cesspit of lovely memes and unfunny posting and slurs and widestancers posts in the wildstar provides an excellent example of the the larger problem condensed down to one singles poo poo hole of a thread but whatefvers its almost christmas time lets be merry and play games

Showing everyone that Coffeebooze says mean things sometimes is not showing anyone anything new but watching you keep quoting my posts like some sort of bizarre own while you continue to be mad about a dead thread about a dead game with a dev who didn't even care about what was said is pretty funny so you should probably keep doing that.

Kewpuh posted:Let me counter with this. If someone posts "kill yourself" do you break into fits of anger because an internet shat out two boring words to you or do you scroll past it and continue reading cool poo poo about video games like every other normal human being? Is that a "yes"? I can see why for a lot of people being called a friend of the family, a human being, a kike, a spic, or being told to "go kill yourself" could actually be pretty harmful. I don't think it is productive, I don't think it is funny and I don't think it should be allowed. Even if mods do show up too late to put a stop to it mid argument, taking some kind of action against people that do that poo poo seems very reasonable to me. But then again, I'm just some middle class white dude, you can't say poo poo to me that would hurt my feelings.
