| That's a poor justification for creating a toxic atmosphere on the forum, however. Regarding to "traffic", I don't really pay attention to it. I've been on this forum for about 6 years now and it still seem as active as before. Quality wise is all to the eyes of the beholder. If someone already believes it's going downhill then it will seem that way. |

| im here for like 5 years already and i see users come and go, the forum activity stay thesame but the moderating keeps getting worse, we see lock threads after lock threads even though the lock threads have a good discussion too, i think threads should not be locked that easily if its generating good discussion anyway even if its a listing thread, this is the only forum i know that is banning listing threads but this is like the top 3 anime forums that are active now besides 4chan and reddit/r/anime |

The Bioware Social Network. If the banhammer was swung a bit more and its massive member base encouraged to post might be better *shrugs* To be quite honest, RAS is one of the few good contributors on that front. That being said, the majority of the time, logic is generally thrown out the window even when there is the potential for a good discussion in some XYZ thread, which rather limits the discussion from becoming anything but a polarized mess. RAS, I believe, tends to jump ship from threads barreling toward hell. That in itself is probably the best policy. |

| Once I read battlelog in the first sentence I just laughed. Piece of trash forums. Yea I go on there because I play Brokenfield 3/4 here n there to pass time. It's full of people whining about nerfs, hackers, bugs, broken game, screw ea/dice, I'm quitting, games dieing faster than any other bfs, etc. So many baddies there. Mods there go on a rampage censoring so much stuff it's not even funny. Like really, I've seen people say fk you mods, I'm fed up, ban me so many times. These people are PAYING CUSTOMERS, MAL is FREE. But it is active nonetheless I guess.. even though the game is burning out. Forum mods here are meh. Seen a little good while some are bad. And yes. Shogun is part of the problem with his random outburts of "fk you op" and "i wanna beat your kneecaps with a bat because I'm a violent person." Will it gain more traffic? Maybe very little over years worth of time because while some new people pop up, many become inactive as well. |
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner.

| This may just be a case of old-fogie syndrome (the "back in my day" sentiment), but I think the forums were previously set out much better. Instead of Casual Discussion, Current Events and Forum Games we had General Discussion and Spam. The problem with the Current Events Board is that it is rather boring in of itself and has incredibly little traffic. The problem with Casual is that whilst it has high traffic (in comparison) it's filled with incredibly inane and repetitive topics, with only rare threads breaking the trend. General Discussion had the best of both worlds, because people talked about the news on it as well, it automatically raised the level of discussion, but it also had the high traffic and the "fun" topics as well. I remember that threads that were downright retarded were, although in existence, not the majority of the threads on the board. I think the change in format of the forums was the single worst decision this site has made. |

Anyway, I think the forums are okay as they are right now, but I wouldn't mind a little hundred more users. Also they should fix that goddam bbcode, so I can finally spam my favorite gifs. |

I would make more stuff in current events, but I don't like dealing with some idiots. Plus its normally political news around the world I follow. Plus Kyu's antics largely turn me off from that section. As one person pointed out I jump ship from threads heading to hell. @ MadScientist. I only say what most of you think but are too chicken shit to say. If that makes me part of the problem so be it. Give me something to do and I'm not a problem, if you are acting like an asshat expect me to call you out for it. Fair nough? I've thought of making some threads but the number of users here that share the same interests with me are rather low. If I made a thread I can predict with 100% accuracy, that at least five people woul talk on the subject, 12 more will make shit-posts one line in length, and then after the at least 6 people active in the subject reached a conclussion the thread dies by page 4 unless some idiot "develop" argument crops up or someone brings religion into it. The only long threads in this topic 9/10 last as they generate conflict, which says a lot about this community in general. Also we have 100's of people online here at a given time. They just rarely ever post. Games for example is super active, and the anime and manga section is rarely worth posting in as it always boils down into three things. One, everyone turns into a yes man, saying 5/5 show is great. Everyone agrees nothing to talk on. Two, Meh this show is shit! then you get a nice litle back and forth war. Three, and rarely, you can have some serious talks, such as what psycho pass started up. In General MadScientist I'm no problem on this front. If I stoped posting in some threads (which I have) they would still run on their own as they have. In general those problems short of moderation can't be fixed. And when you do try and fix them you'll have someone screaming POLICE STATE! Its a damned if you do damned if you don't line. |
Heredity said: Infinite said: i've talked to kineta about why they changed it, and apparently it's because users would get all hoity toity about the 'spam' section and would only make their spam-worthy threads in general discussion. there was also the problem of there being next to no moderation within spam, so it became a huge-huge-huge shitfest.Instead of Casual Discussion, Current Events and Forum Games we had General Discussion and Spam. users who thoughts they were too good for spam + spam-worthy threads + no moderation after being moved to spam = forum bloat. also, absolutely lol'd at the people being labelled as 'intelligent' and 'logical' in this thread and the people doing it. And you agree with that? I never agreed, so what if there was no moderation on Spam? It's called SPAM for a REASON. I once had a suggestion in my signature, not that it matters anymore, it's dead. |
