I just hate it the way it works in the gaming-arena section of this forum. It's full of retarded gits who can't fucking understand what the respective forums are for. Currently, the PC Games area is pretty much what the regular retards think -everything- is for. They write about their computer, how much RELOADED kicks ass for releasing lots of games (this, they've put in basically every category in this forum), how the fuck DirectX works, and what color their panties had last time they checked.

Seriously, can't we start mopping up in these areas? I hate it when I have to go through 4 pages of "OMG! HOW DO I TORRENTZ ATI-GeForce drivers THE CRACK DIRECTX eeeh!11one ... aDN LIEK STAERFORSE!? LOL UNPLUG DrIvE!?!" to find a decent post about the damn game itself. It seems as though the majority of the people that go there are completely retarded, and can't orient themselves in a pretty simple, and logically constructed forum.

Some of the mods, please take your gloves off, and start giving a serious beat down in that part of the forums.

Thank you!

it's amazing here, it's baffled me many of times. Any topic will go off topic here - e.g. the useless void; just by posting a topic and a message a word like "shit" can get you lots of replies LOL.

I perfectly understand your point in this thread, I will note it. I personally avoid that forum tho probably because I have a lack of interest in games these days. It is very difficult (for me) to jump in and edit these bits out as most the posts stretch to 3 or 4 pages and my time is balanced with real life... Wink

I can honestly say tho, if you see anything like that developing and would like it reviewed just PM me with the topic link and I will inspect and fiddle so that everyone is happy Very Happy

I completly agree fisk.

Nowadays if you want to discuss the good and the bad of a game your better off going to the developers site and waiting for somone to post first impressions of the warezed copy, because most of the posts in a new game thread here are going to be about

"RLD rox!" or "Thank you DEV!" or "This game sucks" , the days of analyzing games and actually agreeing/argueing with somones review of the game are long gone most people here probably download the game to probably sell on and wont even install it.

Sad but true.

Now this comes to something I have been thinking for a while... Although it is a fairly large task for our glorious leader Razz

Could we not have a script implimented that would create a thread automatically for every game NFO on the site, then stop the creation of threads in the games area.. this would cut down the amount of crap in the section and allow people to talk about the games... this would however stop the talk of games which are not released on the scene.. so it does have its down sides..

As for those people who say "RLD Rocks" etc.. there is nothing much we can do about it.. Although there is another idea which could be used..

I've seen on another form (one my girlfriend goes to infact..) that they have an "irrelivant" mark which the the starter can put onto posts within thier threads.. this will act much like the "ignore" function but on a post basis, and people have to click on an expand box to see that post.. this could help with the trash talk within threads by only showing the posts which are relivant to the topic.. it would mean more responcibility to the thread starter (and mods of course).. It might be a pain in the ass to impliment though..

Thoughts?

Well it really does when you contribute to any political discussion at the world headlines forum.

Getting rid of this problem would be very time consuming and also would require a lot of manpower. But how about clarifying the rules that only game related things can be posted there, no clone, group/scene (not that any of those people know anything about it) or other stuff. And how about a special "Task Force" (meaing non mods) who have the rights to delete posts of other users or to lock/delete threads only in the gaming section. They don't need any more rights like banning to help the situation.

I'm trying as much as I can to clear up the pc games section, but there's so much posting in that forum that I would have to be online 24/7 to keep it clean.

Impossible and, this might come as a shock to some here, I would like to actually participate like anyone else in discussions and shit, but after an hour of deleteding, banning and warning I don't have the spirit to actually dsicuss normal things.

We need more modding in that forum, simple as that.

For PC Games, I think one or 2 of the more active mods should be in charge of like creating the game threads and shit, that way we can cut back on the pointless threads.
I used to frequent PC Games, but like fisk said, its full of kiddies with hardons talking shit...

Or, even a better idea, since we have "Vips"...why not let a few of us do it? Restrict thread creation to us and or the mods...?
