Since his name is Banned2x, I wonder who he was before (or if he just chose that name to sound like he has been here before).
Think he's ReBanned. That guy was recently banned. (I think)
Moltke, you're one of my favorite posters here, even though I don't agree with you all the time, you generally put some thought into your posts.
Ack, I agree 100%. It's on the mods. I don't think there's quite enough, due to the increase in popularity this site has been getting. Every time I log on there are over 200 people viewing the site. That's an increase of about 25-50% from when I joined. When I first joined, there were somewhere between 90-150 people viewing the forums.
I agree with the post count argument. There are some good posters with a low post count. Post count doesn't mean shit. Look at Stimey, I thought he was one of the worst posters on the site, and he had over 5000 posts. Then there are some guys who have low post counts, but their posts are good 95% of the time.
I used to love coming to this site; it was my favorite site to visit. Now, I choose other sites over it. Not due to a change of interests, just due to a lack of quality posting taking place.

Of course, if post counts were arbitrarily reset, then they wouldn't mean anything. They aren't however, and instead are a judge of how many posts you have been able to "get away with" without getting banned. More posts usually means you are a better poster.

If I were an admin, you wouldn't be complaining, SickOfLife. :D That's a promise.

What, would you have banned me? Pfft, to think, I said your puppy was cute...

Besides, you're friends with all the ' fun admins ' >=)
Edit: You decided if you're gonna cut the FF concert short? I know I wouldn't X_x, not for WCG anyway.
|
So tell me, who are the fun admins and who are the serious admins?
I've always categorized the admins in these 2 categories:
Scandinavian-Dutch
Non-Scandinavian-Dutch
:S
|
Let's just say the majority of serious admins have left this place.
|
Of course, there is the occasional jerk who some mod likes that gets to stay around too long, but that is probably the exception.

Haha, you referring to HovZ? HovZ was a top 5 non-Korean poster. Haha, those were AWESOME times.

SickOfLife, i think its a bit naive to say "all new posters suck" or something in that direction. Theres still people that come to this site and contribute more than some of the regulars  .
About people that only spam, trashtalk and more of that kind, wont get a high postcount

Haven't read the entire topic, but I agree. Some fucking retards in here lately.
EDIT: Especially all the fucking ones that are saying that you are biased. What the FUCK. IN FUCKING GENERAL COCKTARDS.

That's the whole point of my admin ' review. '
The time where we could depend on the mods to clean house of those kinds of people has long past.

I don't mean all of them, just most of them. Read the whole topic.

there's definitely been talk among staff about how to deal with the increase in the number of retarded posts and posters. i'm positive something will be done, but these things take time and care.
the best solution however is NOT simply more admins and more admins banning. the better solution is that people who act retarded are immediately called out by the rest of the community. this also has the added effect of helping admins identify who should be banned without having to read every single thread in every single subforum. PMs to admins would also help out. of course, i would imagine that if you PM admins 3x a day with retarded reasons why someone should be banned, that eventually you will be banned yourself :-P
but yes in the spirit of the thread i'd agree the post quality on tln has decreased significantly. :-(

The answer IS banning. Think about when Rekrul ruled the forums. Times were great. We need another Rekrul, if he's not going to be around.

Placing the burdon on the regular posters to call people out will not result in anything productive. The way people seem to be called out here is with 10 people saying "you're stupid" or "go away troll" which will simply entice the person to post even more.

SickOfLife is indeed right.
He may think I'm an immature, arrogant, condescending fuck flap, but I don't think he'd get rid of me. Alot of people on this forum see me this way. A lot see me another way.
Fact is that its not being an immature, arrogant, condescending fuck flap that will get you banned. Its make retarded pointless posts in every fucking topic and derailing the entire forum with your stupidity.
Or something like that.

Making a thread about how much new posters suck is like saying "I'm on here so much I notice how much people suck and so naturally I feel the need to make a thread about it because I'm so insecure about my posting quality and I'm gonna put them down so that I'm the coolest again."
wtf dude
I wouldn't even make a thread like this, and my posts suck. Seriously... you're just as bad.

I agree, I believe an increase in admins is the only way to go. Yes, I will take the burden myself, if needed. I'd love to ban some of these fucktards.
