I have been patient. I have been more than patient.

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.

-Ninja out.

i agree, iv been here for 4 years. I'v stuck to the rules and have had a good time. However, this place is not what it used to be. Moderation is at an all time low or at least as bad as it was in the EZ Board days. There are alot of stupid threads and alot of bulk and that has been preventing me from posting. I don't post alot anymore. There is just too much crap. If the forums were to be streamlined by gettign a lot of the excess then i might enjoy myself again. As it stands I mostly post in general chat. The intelligence and rule breakign is just too off to be worth a post in gamecube discussion whcih should be the focal point of these forums beign for a gamecube website. Rant Blah.

Well, I'm actually glad they eased up a while back. When they first opened this forum they were way to strict. I mean this is the third PGC forum I've been a member of and it was also the first one that I've had a topic locked at. However I do agree that within the last couple of weeks things have started to get a little out of hand. It's really a bad sign when even senior posters start acting up. If the mods are on vacation I can't blame them though. It's just a forum after all and they shouldn't have to give up their real life over it.

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

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #5 on:** November 30, 2003, 03:30:03 PM »

Actually lately a lot of people are reporting things that aren't violations

Ms.Pikmin · « **Reply #6 on:** November 30, 2003, 04:09:02 PM »

S-U-P-E-R, why is the first part of Gibdo Master's sig being ignored by the mods?

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #7 on:** November 30, 2003, 04:24:51 PM »

It's not obscene enough. C'mon, try harder, Gibdo.

* don't

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #8 on:** November 30, 2003, 04:44:46 PM »

So making a reference to breast feeding a baby is evil?

Ms.Pikmin · « **Reply #9 on:** November 30, 2003, 04:48:07 PM »

You know what? That is a load of crap! The rules say anything "sexually oriented". Referring to someone other than a baby sucking on "tits" is not referring to a sexually oriented act? You guys are total hypocrites!

Edit: My post is referring to SUPER not Gibdo.

She's got you there...*nods head*

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2003, 07:36:13 PM »

Jesus, if it's bothering you that much I'll change it. By the way if this has anything to do with PIAC I think his little link is a bit worse than my slightly humors sig.

ThePerm · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2003, 07:46:23 PM »

actually...your not havign sex if your not penatrating

. Thought it is obscene. Though id say Ms. Pikmin knows more about sex then I with her i'll bet Beautiful Children.

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.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #14 on:** December 01, 2003, 02:27:30 AM »

That's a hard issue, spam is evil. But the mods probably don't want to get a report at every instance. I'd guess to report someone who is really spamming, use it once and then pm one of the mods with a little note to further clarify.

thecubedcanuck · « **Reply #15 on:** December 01, 2003, 03:17:52 AM »

It litterally pains me to agree with Grey Ninja, but in this case I must. I have seen a dozen "DO YOU LIKE MARIO KART!!! I DO!!!) style threads over the last few months, and very few, if any, of these threads ever get locked anymore.
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.

Bloodworth · « **Reply #16 on:** December 01, 2003, 10:21:35 AM »

Unfortunately, with Rick back in school and work, he isn't even around to do a lot more important things. I was out of town for most of the past week as were many other staff, but Ty and I do try to keep a handle on the forums.

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.

ThePerm · « **Reply #17 on:** December 01, 2003, 11:50:09 AM »

Yeah, i reported a few times because i felt it needed cleaning up. So you need to be specific...oops.

You took care what it seems to be everything i reported so im good

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #18 on:** December 01, 2003, 12:55:50 PM »

Hey, I liked Gibdo's sig. But whatever.

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.

Grey Ninja · « **Reply #19 on:** December 01, 2003, 03:08:44 PM »

Just want to mention that the moderation in the last few days has been extraordinary. Good job Bloodworth.

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.

Gibdo Master · « **Reply #20 on:** December 01, 2003, 03:30:45 PM »

Wait a minute, which one of you is and isn't a mod here?

S-U-P-E-R · « **Reply #21 on:** December 01, 2003, 06:53:18 PM »

I think we long since banned the guy that was spamming reports

ThePerm · « **Reply #22 on:** December 01, 2003, 07:55:19 PM »

I should be a mod. Iv been reading this Forum daily for 4 years. WTF did some of the other moderators go? All there is now is BloodWorth and Teh- S-u-p-e-r!

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #23 on:** December 02, 2003, 08:24:13 AM »

How many Faust av's you got S-U-P-E-R? Because I have seen two so far today.

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
