That seems like a lot of work to keep a few members here that don't contribute anything positive to the community. idk if that many of these posters would even post if regulated to this section seeing as they don't use the designated threads that are already in place for shenanigans. But it is certainly an entertaining idea. Maybe the staff will think about it.

I see reports suggesting that "allowing this" would lower site standards. The truth is people just want to have fun. So it isn't fun for some to see comments that troll or are derailing the topic... depending on the topic. No one wants the standard of being completely serious. While someone will be quick to report a shit post in a Nintendo/Xbox/PlayStation thread, they are also quick to make the same comment in a Stadia/Epic Game Store/Star Citizen thread. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) we don't have a gaggle of fans ready to defend those companies/topics.

The biggest change that can happen is the community decides to ease up on the fanboying. Allow focused topics to remain focused. Play in silly threads. Stop the tit for tat. But that maybe a dream. Until then, GAF prison? Or just grow up?

Ready the prison shanks

Amen and hallelujah, preach brother!

I do have to take exception to one comment though:
" make the same comment in a Stadia/Epic Game Store/Star Citizen thread. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) we don't have a gaggle of fans ready to defend those companies/topics."

Trolling and criticizing Stadia is the one thing that unites all console warriors and should be encouraged.

No clue. I try not to ignore any content but I asked myself the same question a few weeks ago when this thread popped up:


Ultimately, if it's causing me to cringe too much...I'll ignore the thread. There are some cringe-worthy threads but to avoid them is about the best we can do sometimes.

These two things aren't even comparable. There are plenty of off color threads on gaf, thing is some guy just posted a gif of a buttnaked burned kid running around as if that shit would ever fly here. Regardless of context. I should have just reported the post now that I think about it, but then I saw that a post in the next page was moderated so maybe posting that gif wasn't breaking the rules? I found it strange literally no one that posted in said thread brought it up either which is why I posted it here.

I missed that. I'm not touching that thread. Sounds disturbing.

That's historic footage from the Vietnam war. Here's the wiki entry about her.

Legit didn't report him, personally but yeah... I was surprised at how hostile he was over that. I actually don't really like the idea I had some hand in someone getting banned even if they deserve it. Won't curb my sarcasm in the future, though, all the same!
Guy was only asking for help, so there was no need to make fun of him. Your comment wasnt funny, just stupid and no wonder neo member was hostile towards you.

I just saw the convo, and I'm personally shocked. He was trolled by E Explosive Zombie then N0S N0S . Guys, I think it's better to appeal for the guy, it's really unfair. His reaction is pretty natural for someone new and gets ridiculed by 2 complete strangers.

The moderation team have such a great sense of humor, and I have one for them:

Why not have "Jail/Rehab" along with Gaming/Comm/off/politics forums? Those who get banned can only participate there until they do their time, so they can still use their PM's, read only on other places. I think it'll end up being funny with all the inmates there. :lollipop_tears_of_joy: Or have specific bans, like from the gaming, communities, etc?

Any chance in considering those? EviLore EviLore @Bill O'Rights @Mod of War and the rest? I think it might even end up being more entertaining as well, maybe a good way to change the person when he comes back.

Maybe throw a console warring meta there as well.:lollipop_tears_of_joy:
Something like Arkham Asylum is always a good idea😀👌.

I had a post removed in a Mortal Kombat thread, with the famous Anderson Silva leg break, with the message to not post real life injuries.

I haven’t clicked the link posted because I don’t think I want to see it, but the same rules should apply.
 
GAF members have plagiarized my idea of an "Arkham Asylum/Exile Island" feature where banned members can communicate with GAF for specific periods of time.

I thought of this first and foremost for that dweeb brap brap :

GIVE ME A REACTION EMOJI ALREADY!!!

Can't tell what's satire any more. Though that link tells me the profile is not available.

He's banned, I'm not asking for much, maybe you guys can appeal for him? The poor guy maybe came from a bad day and got joked while he doesn't know any of you. When you're new, you don't take jokes from strangers that easily.

Don't you think the guy needs a chance? I know you didn't report him, but maybe you could help get him back. Maybe he had a meltdown in the PM with a mod? Not sure. I would take jokes from both of you easily, but the guy was frustrated and wanted to vote.:lollipop_pensive:

I think he got banned more for "This site is worst than before" than for being hostile towards me and Based. Especially junior members coming here to bemoan the quality of this forum I've seen get banned lots of times. I'm trying to picture joining a forum and one of my first posts ever is to shit talk the forum itself because a couple guys were sarcastic towards me. Don't really blame the mods, it's in line with how they normally do things. I also guarantee I'm not some sort of influential member who can get the mods to do things, the stuff with Rambo and my "first kill" was just being funny, my man, I was simply pointing out I wasn't sure how I felt about being a part of the chain of events that lead to such a ban is all but imagine not being able to throw a joke at people once in a while? If you're new to a forum you should be trying to learn how to get along, not picking fights.

I know you didn't want it to end that way, and your points are legit. Seems like he's probably already been banned from Reee then.
 
Just imagine yourself in his shoes. You would want other people to make fun of you (especially on the new forum) just because you have a question? You should have at least helped him and your joke would look much better.

Don't need to, I've been the new guy on plenty of forums in 20 years of frequenting the internet, I've gone through a lot rougher hazing rituals on some forums than anything you'd see here. BTW, my joke wasn't that far off, part of why you need to be an established member to vote in polls is so things like bots aren't fixing the results.

There's something seriously wrong with a person that can flame-out that fast over obvious jokes, and go straight to Resetera talking points.

Like, I'm pretty sure he wasn't here to be a cool, chill citizen, if that was lurking so close behind the scenes, on his very first posts.

I barely knew NeoGAF then Reee recently from youtubers, how lucky I am! Can't see myself there.

If you're anything like me, you'll end up spending the rest of your days regretting ever asking for it to be removed. One really doesn't know what they have until it's taken away.

Well, for a start it's factually incorrect. I don't have a closet, I have a lime pit.

My biggest problem though is it's overly wordy. Look at it -

Calls you pedo, has (tiny) skeletons in closet.

It's a total mess. A tag should be concise, not a Buzzfeed headline. Something like President Pedophile would be fine.

Pedo apologists get what they deserve, usually it's a perm.

The "I didn't actually call someone a pedo" or technically actually say this or that is a defense that's commonly used in this topic. Not feeling like a big man now are you?

I am a novice here, but will speak out. Much of the problems here is due to 'reactions' farming.
Few incessant trollers are here trying to brighten up their image and reputation.🤷‍♀️ Just like the politicians who lie to the public, denigrate the public amongst their colleagues, and act holier than thou by attending church.
