why don't we just make a no smurf rule and ban all of these accounts, you know who they all are rayn
You mean like the members who show up here and you know they've been posting here for years? Yeah.
all due respect rayn, this is your fault...
you made this a hands-off area under the guise of supporting free speech and being a neat little social experiment of yours. you've admitted as much many times before.
now you're displeased with the results?
quality posters have been driven from this board for years. not the ones that were 'nexted', majority of them were douche bags and in some way got what they deserved. i'm talking about the vast majority of posters that just quit showing up... quit posting... because every conversation on this board had become stupid and any attempts to actually have any conversations were quickly overrun by the same nonsense time and time again.
you sat there over the years and responded to the complaints by saying it's a mod-free board... free speech... self policing... etc.
well. this is the result. the only people left posting with any frequency are mostly trolls. they're not even sophisticated or witty trolls either.
it's not even fixable at this point because removing the problem means removing majority of the frequent posters... the only thing remaining is how long will it take you before you decide it's not worth the headache. who knows, maybe you'll be successful in recruiting mods to do the work for you and replacing them when they get burned out from dealing with the nonsense.
Sad but true. This is why we can't have nice things.
It is one thing when these idiots make their own threads. I just avoid them. However these same idiots work their way into threads where people are trying to have an intelligent conversation about a game, movie etc.
TW ha always been over the top, but I come here to see what games people are playing. You can't even talk about that anymore without the train falling off the tracks.
-ban smurfs - you know the "members" who talk like they've been here for years
-ban trolls
-ban people who troll the trolls
