Support NeoGAF

So apparently GAF cares too much about what teamxbox thinks...

Eh, GAF's moderation suffers from laziness and inconsistency. The problem is that while getting more mods helps compensate for laziness, it worsens inconsistency. Things can be made more consistent and predictable, but it takes work.

I don't exclude myself from this assessment. Hell, even when I'm posting here I don't like putting forth much effort. That being said, every now and then at least one or two GAF mods get motivated and use the opportunity to improve things.

It isn't the easiest job in the world modding a forum filled with disparate members at each others' throats over distinctions without a difference for the most part.

All and all I think the mods here do pretty darn good.

We've been over this before. Australia wasn't banned for a single crime against the ToS, more for a series of infringements that built up to a permaban. Mel Gibson, for example, despite what some people may say, doesn't merit a permaban for the whole continent, but when you see it as a regular chain of behaviour stretching back through Kylie Minogue and Germaine Greer then you can see why eventually enough was enough. Australia has had enough second chances, and the ban will not be rescinded.

bu..bu...but AC/DC!

did we win yet?

Be heavy handed if you must, but at least spell out (and ensure it's easily accessible) what is and is not allowed.

If you want to make it a law that dissing wrestling is not allowed, do so. Just make sure that GAFfers know about it so we don't get bansticked. Like that horrible screwup of a thread that announced VF5 going to X360. People who didn't know any better went in, made jokes about the PS3 losing more exclusives, and fell by the dozens.

I disagree totally.

This would be true if this were one of those "instant membership" boards, but it's not. It takes many weeks to get to where you can post on this board. In that time, you should be lurking. Even after you get your "Junior" status, you should be lurking more than posting.

In that time, if you don't realize some of the unwritten laws around here, you suck anyway. I think the somewhat nebulous nature of things encourages new users to listen more and talk less, which is always good.

Besides, getting banned is hardly the end of the world.

Really, TXB has locked the silly bitch threads, Crackerman got himself banned here, nerd fight is over. Someone needs to lock and archive this thing before I start posting more pictures of cats.

This thread is so awesome. Someone should post about bad PS3 sales, that'll get the thread locked quick!

Spoiler

Empty threats mean nothing on GAF.

One would tend to think that.

I thought someone might come up with that, which is why I held back...

Rupert Murdoch!

 

[mylilbuddy]

would be kind of cool if GAF had a thread where the mod posted each banned person and the post that got them banned...that way we could see why a person got banned and then have a huge thread about why mod a bans more people than mod b or c. lol...and of course the posts would show what console fanboys get banned the most and if there is any favorites when it comes to tolerance.

 

[bishoptl]

I check GAF on my lunch break and I see this thread is still open. Why?

'cuz this thread is delivering laughs by the bucketload
