Neogaf is probably 70 percent of my internet useage in terms of casual reading and posting. Most days it puts me at about a 3/4 when some posters clearly want to do nothing but shit post or push their agenda. But I used to, and still probably do to some extent go to about a 6 or 7 with some threads. You know the ones I am talking about.
I think things have improved here but also so has my mindset. I will never agree with the style of moderation here simply because it in some ways relies on the users to call out and even at times bully people into stop being shit heads. But not my site and not my job to moderate and dictate how it goes. So I have adapted my attitude on here to be more playful in attempt to simply be more friendly to my mental health as well as shutting down the shit heads here.
I think the mods have done a much better job recently but maybe thats simply because I have stopped caring as much. Eventually the people who are shit heads will push to far and get banned, but I still think they get too much leeway a lot of times. That too does appear to be changing though as many threads were getting muddied up by people and a firmer hand has been laid down. Which I do appreciate.
I wouldn't of been someone to engage with people personally on the internet and be in stuff like Meta Gaf but I have that I need to embrace the silly people. I am usually the silly person who is trying to get everyone to chill the fuck out and not take things so seriously but I have found that on GAF thats just not gonna happen. So instead I have found myself posting dumb shit in threads like that. The Power Rangers team was a highlight for me.
