As I said in my earlier post, it's a rough draft in terms of everything, and also as I said I'll be glad to fix and polish it up for you to make things more clear. Now that it's written I have a slight bit of ease and can read it and find mistakes and where there are bad ideas.
Kamuii does spam, yes, but look at all the non-spam posts he makes. They are very intelligent, very sensable (sp) posts. Sometimes the good out-weighs the bad.

Your ideas, if put into play, would result in far more bans than are necessary. People want to express their thoughts about the admins and corruption, and they should be able to. They might even be right!
|
People have a right to complain, yes, but does this right extend to the point of childish name calling and going and insulting them personally, (and if they own a server) attack their server? Since when is it their right to attack someone at all, simply because they feel something is corrupt?

Blade50 is an isolated case (of spam). If the Mod options were working correctly, he would be warned and, if he didn't stop, later banned. That is pretty much how it has gone in the past, so that whole area of "new ideas" or whatever is pretty irrelevant.

I can't argue you with it there, I just want to try and cut down on all the spam in the genral forums, hence my idea of a spam forum.

As for the flames thing, it can get out of hand, but a lot of the people coming to this forum ARE children, and they will act as such. So, childish flaming will probably always be a big problem here, banning some of the worst flamers might help but only as a last resort. Flaming is probably our biggest problem.
|
So being a child is an excuse for flaming and insulting someone? That just gives people an excuse to flame, and excuses will not help the flaming in any way. Since you claim the majority of people coming to the forums are children, and they will act like a child, I should treat every single new member to the forums as a child? Should my posts be ruled by your stereotype?

Post counts, here is a simple way to help reduce the obsession over this. Remove the post count from being displayed on posts (but still viewable from the members area of the forum) We can see if that will help, which I think it will. If it's still very bad, we can think about another solution.
|
I'm confused, are you saying post count matters or are you simply opening your comment with "Post counts, here is..." to clarifiy what you are talking about?

The version number "wars", isn't that bad anymore. I don't see people talking about this very much, how is it a problem? So what, if they want to lie, let them lie, nobody is going to believe them half the time anyway. And if you do, you shouldn't.
|
But if it wasn't for those version wars or whatever people would need to lie in the first place; the thought wouldn't cross their mind. I'm not saying really that's it's very bad now, but still over half the time, the new member of the forums will claim they have been playing Graal for a while.

And your summary... all I have to say is, I'm glad you are not in a position of authority around here.

As I said, it's a rough draft.
