Notice to Users

Hamma · 2003-06-10, 10:08 AM

Look folks, I am patient around here. I like a laid back moderating style where mods' are not always up everyones ass. I expect most people to fend for themselves by using our ignore features, or just telling the person to chill. This will continue to be mine, and the entire staff's moderating policy. However it has come to my attention that there are a bunch of people who want to abuse their posting abilities. I have handed out 4 bans this morning. Some of these users are not even new. Let this be a lesson to new users that we are not going to take any bull, just dont spam and we will get along just fine.

The game was just released, there is a HUGE influx of new traffic and users right now. Everyone must accept the fact it may be a bit noobish around here for a while. I refuse to close new registrations, or implement a GameFAQ's type policy. Then all I have created here has gone to waste because it then becomes the elitist community I do not want to be a part of.

So those of you who have been around for a while I ask to chill out, this time will pass. Things will calm down and the newbs will filter through, some will stay, others will go. Such is the life of an online community.

Can you tell us who you have banned?

Hamma · 2003-06-10, 12:20 PM

No need for that.

Ok so by the tone of your post i guess my new proposal will be shot down too but i'll give it a shot anyway.

Dio's Plan C : Create a new section called "Old timers" (or something like that) accesible only to people who where here pre-beta and a few peeps who got here after that but would be worthy.

I understand you want this to be a free forum with little to no moderation and all but do understand that some of us would like to be able to visit PSU without having to ignore 3 new guys a day.

Hamma · 2003-06-10, 01:03 PM

That is the type of elitist community i dont want to be a part of. 3 a day is a bit extreme

�io · 2003-06-10, 01:15 PM

Heh, i knew you were gonna say that.

And 3 a day is an exageration but not by much, you aren't on as often as i am. I read 98% of every thread in the lounge and GD forums and trust me, there's a lot of n00bs out there.

Hamma · 2003-06-10, 01:20 PM

I read every new thread whenever I come on to the forums. Everyones description of "noob" is different

be patient. We would have been foolish not to see this coming before the game released. It hasnt even been a month yet, people will come and go. Like it or not we are all noobs in this infant community

�io · 2003-06-10, 01:27 PM

Yeah but there's a difference between newbs and n00bs.

Newbs is just a new guy, same like you or i was once before, n00bs is the fucktards who are making a lot of the good people leave or think of leaving. It isn't about elitism and shooting down any new guy who we don't know, it's about making sure the new guys are PSU material, not OF material who found it's way here, course lately PSU has been OF like so it can be hard to tell.

i would like to see ths happen. It would be nice to get away from all these new people asking, "Whats' a suppressor?"(exaggeration

)

It would kind of cool to be talking only with the smart people for a change

See that's the thing i'm not fed up of that kind of stuff, it does get tiring after a while but it's cool. But the crap like some people *coughJaged"clones"&TekDragoncough* are posting and the frequency that kind of shit happens makes me think of something i never thought i'd have to do.
