I'm just wondering what all of your opinions are on the users of the website, or more specifically these forums.

How do you feel about the community here?

juz curious

I dislike gun threads. But generally some original threads would be nice, especially on GD.

But isn't that one on the more fun parts? I mean if everyone stayed cool and composed, the discussions would be too professional and not comical at all.

Be more specific on how the moderators sucks. For me they are okay. They are using alot of free time coding and adding new anime series into MAL for free. Imo you can't ask for any better.

What's there to say?It's a site full with many different types of people with one main thing in common (we all like anime & manga).

There's users I agree with & others I don't.
There's users who chose to keep their manners & show some god damn respect & people who don't.
There's users who actually use there brains to figure out things & those who walks around like some ignorant fool.
There's fanboys,haters & everyone else in between.
There's girls,boy & everyone else in between.
There's users who's serious & others who jokers.
etc....Etc...ETc......ETC................

It surprises me how uncivil or rude some people are on these forums and just how many people are close minded and willing to put people down just because of their anime tastes.

I see this type of conversation often:

Random_guy: Well I didn't like this episode too much...
Douchebag: Your opinion doesn't matter because you rated Bleach a 10.

I second this. Been wondering why potential discussion threads are transferred to casual chat. Don't see any sense in that.

I actually agree with that, though never made a big deal of it.

But in general the mod decisions are backed and understandable; the problem is that I miss messages explaining it when they move threads, of course some things are clear, but in other cases I can't figure it out at all, like why this thread and why not this one, if they are getting a similar development, etc. I don't want to bother them for such a thing, but really, I would appreciate these additional explanations in some threads, specially those moved to Casual Chat that sometimes are not just +1 threads but contain debates I have followed. And the problem is that anything that is thrown in the Casual Chat is going to disappear in a couple of hours behind countless chat threads, so it is specially bothering to find and read them back if they had something interesting.

The community? Oh, it's fine, thanks.

The majority of this community lack a sense of humor and take shit way to seriously and get offended way to easily. It's kinda pathetic.

Sometimes they forget how to make correlations with the discussions going on deemed as off topic and the on topic discussion.

They forget how debates go on, sometimes you give examples or you talk about other subjects to prove a point on the on topic discussion, or talk about laws.

Of course, I didn't see a closed topic where I was for ages, and neither did I get any more warnings than the one a few days ago. So this is my biased opinion.
