Do you think the mods have ruined the forums?

Forums are democratic by nature. Just like a democracy, only as good or bad as the general population.

It is only the looneys who want this site to be like Stormfront that are complaining......

 

[Hugh Jass]

I think stupid polls have ruined the forums.

Are you living in fucking fantasy land? This forum is about as non-democratic as it gets.

 

[Ruptga]

Yet here you are bitching about the administration, publicly, and the response of the mods has been to engage in casual conversation. This is not what oppression looks like.

I did not mean in administrative sense. Just like everyone gets to vote in a democracy, everyone can say whatever they like on a forum.

Anyone have usage stats for these forums?

Have you tried asking if the mods have ruined the forums?

Hope that helps!

Came here for the bans, left with shower cunts.

The mods are really trigger happy with the bans/points. A lot of times they lock threads because their trolldar is overly sensitive. But then again you have whiners here who love to snitch/complain to mods over every little thing.

Have you tried turning the forums off and then back on again?

Every Sunday, and sometimes on special occasions, just cause :^D

I've unplugged the forums and plugged them back in, but can't seem to find the power button.

I love the mods here. They inspire joy joy feelings to those around them.

Mods did not . But some of them didn't deserve to be mods at all IMHO.

Allowing people of low intelligence to sign in a tech forum ruined it. I think it began 10 years ago, then it became downhill from that point on. ATOT will never be the same.

I do that every Saturday night. Hopefully it doesn't affect the rest of you.

Its just like any other place. There is good and there is bad.

Forums in general have been dying, from what I've been observing lately. Plenty of people deciding, that forums are for young people, and they can't be arsed once they get family and a real job to stick around. Anti-social bastards

I guess it depends. I am on a tennis forum that has been thriving for years, and still is. Both quantity and quality wise. But then tennis fans do tend to be the more intellectual and thoughtful types

Some of the mods are really cool and add a lot to the discussions here. It does annoy me that some are so quick to lock threads where people are having fun (parody and necro threads). Some discussions are meant to be revived.

Just because some people get off by pointing out every necro doesn't mean it has to be locked. Let it live or die again on its own.

i liked it better when they were this:

Add these two together with a sprinkling of Ichinisan's comment expanded to include it being okay if you have a second thread on a particular subject.

you get awesomness

The mods here are pretty good compared to other places.

The banning of TFP was unforgivable though.

I've been noticing that lately. A lot of places will just disappear comments that the administration doesn't like, and whoever's in charge will take things in whatever direction they feel like while barely paying lip service to community opinion. Our problems are generally pretty small when compared to crap like that.

 

[squarecut1]

Yes I've been on several forums and this is by far the most tolerant one. Don't see the kind of ego trips of mods that are common some other places.

Now when it comes to fixing bugs, that is another matter. The search on tapatalk has been broken for months and repeated appeals have gone nowhere :-(

 

[KillerBee]

I think the mods here are very fair.

Well except for the time they didn't allow someone to use a picture of Linus for an avatar

(obv expressing his opinion that linux is #1)
