GFWLMod Posted: Fri, Sep 11 2009 12:58 PM

The new mod here again, of late I have been seeing a bit more commentary on the vitriolic side, as well as a significant amount of questionable commentary involving unreleased titles, and or exploits.  It’s my goal to keep these forums by the people for the people, but there are certain limits I am forced to impose:
 
I need you fine people to play nice.  I love the fact everyone here is so passionate about gaming, it does this old gamers heart good seeing the chatter between everyone.  But *gfwlmod edits* honestly things are getting out of hand.  I try to keep things open and allow people to be themselves, but that is not a blank check to be, well... needlessly abrasive.  I understand people can have bad days, or really dislike each other, but ignore said person.  If I see them harassing you, well, thats what mods are for, you responding in kind only gives them what they want and adds to the fairly grim atmosphere of late.

Also... chatting about things such as how to cheat in a game, when it is not simply entering in u, d, u, d, l, r, l, r, b, a start, or idkfa, I have to draw the line.  If you find a cool easter egg and you want to share it, awesome, as long as it is not a spoiler, or if it is please mark it as such.  But, please try to keep the “how to cheat” comments to the legitimate routes of cheating

I do not overtly want to start deleting threads, or handing out temp/perm bans, ideally my role here is to foster your growth as a community, not be a draconian overlord (that’s really much more of my weekend job), but there are limits outlined in the TOU etc. *made lots of edits.
 

I am also willing to take suggestions about what you guys want from me to make it so everyone is able to have more fun, the vast majority of you all are good people... don't let the bad apples mess it up for everyone.

Right.  And for those who haven't a clue what vitriolic means, it means in a nutshell the badmouthing that is going on towards one another.

vit⋅ri⋅ol⋅ic

[vi-tree-ol-ik]

–adjective
1. of, pertaining to, or resembling vitriol.
2. obtained from vitriol.
3. very caustic; scathing: vitriolic criticism.

  acid, bitter

  bland, mild

 

 

And GFWLMod, do tell us more of this weekend job you speak of Stick out tongue

Do you mean pirating type of cheats? Or like fallout 3 command prompt cheats (aka in the comand prompt they shipped the game with you can give your self unlimited ammunition, unlimited helath etc. The producer even put in command prompts to get he achievements, not something i would do, but part of the game none the less)

Those would fall under the IDKFA kinda cheats.  IDKFA was the first, well, one of the first major cheat codes I can think of, it was for Doom, and it gave you all the guns and all the keys.  Stuff like that you can chat about to your hearts content.

Slush, I have nothing against people arguing, or having differing opinions, I agree that through conflict there is growth.  HOWEVER, I do not agree with spewing insults and generally being a troll, which, sorry to say is what a lot of discussions turn into.
