But the thing is that I originally came to these forums because I liked the strict moderation present here. Now I am seriously considering leaving because of the lack of moderation. I suggest fixing that problem ASAP. I will likely leave soon anyway for other reasons, but I would really appreciate some moderation regardless. A forum that leaves its members to moderate themselves is just not healthy.

I agree. So, what's YOUR excuse for a sig that is clearly against the rules?

Sorry to go off topic here, but have my 'report to moderator' uses been incorrect? The window it opens in states it's use to to report offensive content, yet the moderatorss seem to refer to it's use as being to report violations of the rules. If someone just spams (which is in violation of the rules, but not offensive), should I report it? Sorry if I've been wasted your time.

I admit, when I first came to PGC, I thought the moderation was Naziesc, but came to realise the reasons for it, and actually became thankful for it.
I am not immune to throwing a stone or two, I sometimes lose my cool, and react in ways that are not appropriate, and usually the staff at PGC will point out when you are crossing, or are near the "line".
I do agree however, that the strict moderation that got Rick called a hitler clone by so many, must return, and must return soon, or these forums will simple deteriorate to the level of every other gaming forum on the net. And that would truly be a dissapointment.

I take a look at everything that comes through the moderator reports, so please be sure to use that. There has been one guy spamming them which is a problem, but we can ban him if he keeps it up. One thing about reporting incidents though: please be specific. If you just say some guy has a huge avatar, I'll have to search through the whole thread to find him. Use quotes and usernames as much as you can.

Post by: Hostile Creation on December 01, 2003, 12:55:50 PM
I have not noticed a lack of moderation. . . in fact, I've seen more locked threads recently than I usually do. It's not bothering me, but I suppose if others consider it a problem it should be fixed.
Post by: Grey Ninja on December 01, 2003, 03:08:44 PM
SUPER, Ms. Pikmin is right. Gibdo's sig was borderline breaking the rules if used in a regular post. But the fact that it was in his sig greatly amplifies the effect. Such things IMHO are ok to say once in a while, but when it's repeated every post you make, it does become a problem.

I have only used the report thingie once, after I was personally attacked by some knobhead. He was banned, made me happy. Then I went back to my nearly invisble existance on these forums until I decided to post more often, and look at me now

I know how taxing full time studies can be. The problem is that reporting blatant spam doesn't really strike me as the way to go, as it's normally a long term deal, where the person in question doesn't break any rules in any particular post, but has a tendency to build up a lot of garbage over time... it's kind of hard to report that sort of thing. That's why we really need you back Rick. You never let that stuff build up at all.

I'm not interested in a changing avatar, actually, just wondering. My friend, too (recently signed up here but has not posted), was wondering. I shall look into it though. Thanks.

I got this idea from another forum but what if when someone registers there is some sort of quiz on what you can and cant do .
Anyway , I notice alot of threads locked , good work Bloodworth .

Yeah well...after the hardwork is done putting in the applications , then the mods can rest easy at night while everyone follows the rules ( Without excuses of not knowing this or that )

Not once have I said something rude or crass to another user and I'd appreciate the same in return.
Quite franlkly, the ingorance expressed by some of the users is making me dislike these forums.

It's actually surprising to me that the Gamecube section is the least aggrivating now.
Oh yeah, and could some of the locked threads be cleaned up? There are quite a few pilling up.

Thanks for proving my point Bill...... I have a complaint and I am told to stop exaggerating.

I'm surprised I haven't seen the 'who do you think is hot?' thread yet, as it would seem like it is next to come.
Don't take this the wrong way because it's not just directed at you manunited4eva, but it isn't your job to tell others what they did wrong. The moderators can handle that themselves.

I agree with what you are saying, Marcus. It's just that when this thread started the mods were not really on top of the spam. It was out of control for awhile and people were getting really tired of the mess it was creating. Things are much better now and I for one haven't seen older people flaming newer people for posting incorrectly.

Ok, so maybe i did exaggerate a little. However, the point of the message is first and foremost, you older posters aren't mods, so stop trying to act like them. It's not all of you, just a select few. Secondly, just treat others with some respect for bob's sake.
