when i dip you dip we dip
hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poo poo has been pretty good since last we spoke. E3 was pretty successful as far as Games goes and the bonus is that the forums didn't take a massive poo poo and die for 3 weeks like they did last year so hooray on that. Tried a new thing with Derek Smart that backfired and made me look stupid because that rear end in a top hat got too popular with a bunch of gaming news sites regarding his Star Citizen battle and determined, probably correctly so, that posting here didn't serve him any purpose. Just know that I tried like mad to get that fucker to probate a bunch of you :(

Couple things I want to go over and then you guys can have the floor.

1) I think the biggest thing is that people are STILL posting about how many new posts they see and what their thoughts are on how many new posts there are, like forums Raymond Babbitts or whatever (its fine if you dont get this really bad joke about Rain Man). Please stop doing this!!!!

2) Reports are at a pretty good place. There's one particular dude that generates a bunch of reports pretty much on a daily basis out of the DOTA thread and I'm not gonna say his name (Love Stole the Day) but other than that everything is pretty good and a lot of people have gotten used to not always expecting a novel length post when it comes to video games for gently caress sakes

As always, feel free to post your concerns, gripes, suggestions, whatever. Please don't think that they go ignored because they don't. I'll try to address them the best I can and when it comes to suggestions or forums features or whatever I always pass them up to the admins or the big man himself to see if its something feasible

GO!!!!

Are the forums allowing people to use crap like "u" now? I thought we were at least above that.

Is this a serious problem with rampant use that I've somehow missed because as far as I can tell maybe 2 or 3 people do it and it's usually ironic.

I dunno. I definitely see it Unironically. Do you want reports, or is gamefaqs posting cool now?

All I can go off is what I see in reports since it's not really feasible to see every post in every thread, and from what I have seen recently is maybe 1 report for Stux that mentioned his lovely typing. I elected to let it stand because it's Stux and he's a dumbass and I punish him a lot for other things that aren't really as minuscule as lovely typing

If you don't try you'll never know, good effort; I think it only backfired because there didn't seem any posters in between people trying to have a discussion with smart or gbs posters badly trying to bait him.

Please keep trying new things

I haven't actually seen any probation/ban posts in a long while now that I think on it. Wonder if that's more the moderation style, posters generally not being awful, or a lack of attention on my part :v:

I remember there was some effort for mods to be less picky a couple years ago. Probably it was the right move for the site's health, but it does mean shitposters like above go unpunished. Ah well, clearly I'm in the minority :)

I think it'd be nice if all the ironic "fag" "AIDS" etc casual drops would go away again, or at least stay in Imp Zone. poo poo's not cool or funny. I'm not asking for a rule, just a suggestion to my fellow Games posters.

It's not that rampant yet, actually. I've just noticed it happening a little more than before in some of the threads I usually check and am hoping it will just go away again without making a big thing about it. I check mostly PS centric stuff, so the PS4 thread, PS Store thread, sometimes the Destiny thread. The Vita thread is its own monster that I actually like, it's almost a sharktank thread at this point so whatever.

Again, just noticing more of it here and there and hoping people can chill on it a little.

Hey, buddy. :glomp:



There's still quite a few "gas" posts from time to time. I also haven't seen Crafty in the Other Xbox One thread in a long time, and I'm worried about him. He might have heard about the RAM.
