Author Topic: The Rules : Do people even care anymore?  (Read 29801 times)

This is not a drama on a person, but instead a drama on moderation and the forum rules.
Ever since I joined in 2007, I've seen a huge drop in moderation standards on the forum, over time people started getting away with terrible things that I'll list below.

1. Do not post ambiguous topics.  The title of your thread should describe its contents. 
Quote from: list of thread names that defy this
WHAT. Why would she do this?
This isn't funny!
Whats this?
These only slightly resemble the actual thread contents.


2. Do not post adult content.




APHTONITES'S NOTE: This was part of a set of pictures that someone posted, all the other images were direct links while this was reuploaded, definitely since it's from a research site.

APHTONITES'S NOTE: Lookie here! a visible nipple! fix the img code if you need to see it.


Need I say more? There's even underage children in there!
Shout "OMG IT'S NOT research YOU AUTISTIC CHILD!!!!" all you want but you can't deny it, especially when it's reuploaded from a research site, and how people even state that their dumps of images are for masturbating at.
Topic name may now be changed to "clones immense so hot dumps of epic erections"
Saving the day, one erection at a time.
And ask yourself, why did you visit the thread? to masturbate, and what's in it that you want to masturbate to?
Adult content!
If you're that desperate on research, go on a Booru.

3. No warez - Do not talk about pirating software at all.
Suprisingly, I don't have much to put here since people who do this get banned in a matter of seconds.
But people still constantly mention The Pirate Bay, which unlike other torrent sites was made for piracy.

4. Use the Search feature before posting a question.
This rule has been thrown out the window, people can ask whatever overasked question they please without searching first and get away with it, though it's not doing much damage.

5. Do not plea for sympathy
I'd rather die than be in prison.

I'd actually rather die than be in handcuffs. It's my biggest phobia.
One of the strongest links between all serial killers is a lack of paternal figure and a bad relationship with the maternal figure.

Although I was never abused, I never felt loved as a kid. My mother worked at nights, and would sleep during the day. I looked after myself from middleschool onwards.

I switched school several times as a kid. I moved in the 2nd grade and was put into a Catholic school, where I was beat for having Pokemon toys. I went to another school in the 3rd grade, and then to another county in the 6th. In the 8th, I was doing so poorly academically I became homeschooled and lost complete contact with the outside world. In the 9th, I moved again, took up another school, and remained a recluse until being expelled in the 10th grade. Then I became an online student and failed to interact with others.


But, I did have something. Something that kept my mind occupied. Something that gave me interests, and talents. I could socialize, to some degree, and keep myself busy and happy.

You guys.

That's why I keep coming back. I played Blockland before retail, and I still feel indebted to it. I like you guys far too much to just disappear because of some silly forum drama.



Now, can we all stop being so grudging and relax? I don't think I'll be going away.
Also, "my dog/cat/fish/grandma/grandpa/mom/dad/boner died" threads count here as well.

7. Do not flame - If the entire point of your post is to tell someone what an idiot they are, don't bother. 
ITT: Lamebro1 is a huge idiot.
David, stop being a huge moronic forgethead.
Just shut up.
Stop posting.
Be mad in this thread.
Instead of making a new one.

Idiot.
Haha, what an idiot.
You're an idiot.

BONUS : Trolling
The whole "You can only be banned for trolling if you admit it" concept that seems to be used by the moderation staff is loving stupid, this is what let people such as IUV and Stocking (when she was new to the forum) to quickly take advantage of people.
People need to be banned for obviously trolling, you can't say someone wasn't trolling when they where making research of someone's dead dog and talking about how it deserved to die, can you?

All I can really say is, me and probably many others are probably embarrassed at how the moderation here has degraded so badly since 2010, we need more moderators (there are some good members who can fill in this) or a total rewrite of the rules, as right now we're just about as organized as the ROBLOX forum.

Shout at me, call me an idiot, EPIC WEEN TROLL XD!!! me by bending my points, whatever barrel you want to scrape, but think about it, why are you trying to defend the idea of breaking the rules?

But if we banned for that stuff then your lord and savior Tony would be out about $200 more in Blockland keys.

The community hasn't degraded at all. The only thing degrading is the quality of your posts, attracting more stuff to be slung at you, causing you to cry like a girl and make posts like this.

But if we banned for that stuff then your lord and savior Tony would be out about $200 more in Blockland keys.
So would you.


As would you.

BAHHAHA

You still don't understand the definition of "cry"?
Quote
1. To utter loudly; call out.
2. To proclaim or announce in public: crying one's wares in the marketplace.
3. To bring into a particular condition by weeping: cry oneself to sleep.
4. Archaic To beg for; implore: cry forgiveness.
The point of the thread was shout out for an opinion,  though since of the words "cry" and "beta male" makes you assume a fat nerd crying in a corner to you, you wanted to blow the thread in half.

Those images don't have adult content, they are suggestive sure but i see no nipples or vaginas.

BAHHAHA

The entire thread was you whining about how terrible and inhumane it was for the schools to make you play dodgeball.

Don't even try a red herring.

Vagina


Nipple

These are not "suggestive", they were reuploaded from and made to be masturbated to.

The thread was made to see people's opinions on if full-blown sport classes should be made compulsory for people who are in Year 11 (Before you start calling me 11 years old for an easy insult, Year X is how the grade system works in the  UK,  and I know you're going to make stupid inbred queen joke over that, too.) not crying that I don't want to exercise.
It was made for a mature discussion but you wanted to rip it into pieces and turn it into a flame war, that's why I locked it.
But again, you didn't read the OP and assumed what I was talking about through the title.
"OOOH, A THREAD ABOUT A WEAK GUY! TIME TO GROW MY E-snake WITH FEMINISM!"

I don't see a vagina or a nipple in those pictures, wtf are you on about

The rule I think that NOBODY pays attention to is the "Don't post just to call someone an idiot" rule. I see it broken everyday.

He's 11 and autistic, I don't think he understands what either of those are.

same.. it hurt my feeling everyday i hope it stops soon.. hopefully.

We only have one admin and two moderators, just report and move on.

I'd like to clarify that my post:

Haha, what an idiot.

was taken out of context. The entire purpose was not to tell Adz he was an idiot. Jairo stated that Adz outburst in comedy's topic was fueled by jealousy. Since Jairo's post was above mine, I didn't need to quote it and by saying,

Haha, what an idiot.

I stated Adz was an idiot for completely dismissing the topic, which he was.
