So what the 's going on around here?? I usually don't check the forum over the w/e (because I have a life and that:p) but when I checked today we have another massive blowup in the djexposure thread.
Now, I think s deserve their medicine obviously, but we've had robby rox go off on another racist rant, and apparently he's still not banned, we had M4B dig out his criminal record, we've had (another) mac vs PC debate in a thread that should have been productive, where aNYthing just decided to start making massive claims without much evidence.
We've had DJexposure apparently sending threatening PMs to M4B, we've had him generally disrespect the whole forum, then we've had basically a smear campaign run against DJexposure with pics of dicks all over it.
As much as these people might deserve their treatment, I find it a bit hard to believe that no one has recieved so much as a warning and that all these threads are still going strong. Posting personal information is against the policies of pretty much every website, is it not against the policy of this one too??
No stickies have been updated like we were discussing, no productive knowledge has been shared, and the people behind the imnmature stupidity haven't been banned and are just going on to do more of this . This place is honestly becoming more like 4chan than a production forum. I thought generally stalking people was more their sort of thing, but it seems to be getting really popular around here.
I'm happy to come and share my knowledge (what there is of it) but tbh, I'm not seeing this place get any better, and digi's nowhere in sight, nor are we likely to get another mod to help him, and nor are we likely to see any stickies updated. I'm sorry to have a whinge, but can someone tell me where the moderation's gone around here?
I'm a bit over it, who else is? |

i got banned for less two days ago. its all about which subforum you hang out in. m4b, robby rox would all be banned in the cor lol. while this little corner of TA is almost without moderation, probably because things seems to fix itself around here. idiots leave, bigmouths stays, and the rest stalks us, like were an ant-farm. the thing is that theres alot of knowledge here, but it has been discussed trillion times already, so what we need is some updated index to help noobs find old threads and bump them. this goes back to the sticky discussion which also goes nowhere until diginut decides on participate :)
your poll lacks some alternatives, just like any american voting. and just like america, the option called "lets fix it" is lacking. |

| Like an American, I've given up on fixing the situation. We asked for a new mod, but everyone supported the idea of only having one mod. Who never seems to be here unfortunately. The only fix is more active moderation and better stickies, but that's not likely to happen IMO... |

Palm, you need to stop drinking. :p
I still find this forum helpful, you just need to be prepared for a bit of banter on the side. I don't really care if threads get derailed as quite often the most knowledgeable members will still contribute with helpful posts. Granted, there is a lot of , but there's still a lot of good stuff out there.
Another mod might help getting the cleaned up quicker, but it seems that eventually most problems run their course/sort themselves out. |

| diginut is moderating btw, i saw him do a ninjaedit not long ago (fixing up a threadtitle i forgot to put in there). he moderate with moderation and acts when things get out of hand. consider him more of a watchmen. i do not want a moderator like stu/sushi over here, that would leave out all the fun and 90% of the threads would end up closed with someone banned (me amongs others lol). but i sure would like those stickies to be updated. but i do not want to make a new alt everytime im drunk. |

| Personally, I think posting personal information crosses the line. And its been happening a lot. Sending threatening PMs saying that you're going to spam someone also crosses the line. Its retarded and immature and a moderator should be stepping in IMO rather than letting the whole thing get to that point. |

| yeah i agree but those are special situations lol and not something usually happen here. ive been here 8 years and only seen it twice. both the last month or so. someone ed with the wrong person obviously and things like that might happen then. it has nothing to do with this forum, it could happen anywhere. and those whose lifes got destroyd/exploited could just PM swamper, apparently it didnt hurt them very much. it got nothing to do with this subforum, it just shows that you shouldnt try to dick measure people with resources, they asked for it if you ask me, both robby and this new retard. robby has been pushing it for years actually, and this new fella was an ass from 1st second. normally robbys cool but sometimes he goes bananas - probably drug related. i bet all parts has gotten warnings on PMs. if not i find it weird, i get warnings all the time. |

Face it, this producers forum is dead.
2 < 5 new topics max a day, of which at least 3 are recurring itches which for some and reason enough to shoot them down. the other 2 then are shameless noobness which are good for a laugh or 2 and then after the usual gang is bored with it, bleed to death as well....
It's a hangout, full of boredom and the odd good laugh and that's it. nothing more, nothing less. |

| I don't know what people's problems are lately but nobody seems to enjoy actually being a part of this forum lately. It's rather odd. |

Well the threads were never closed and the posts were never removed... So I'm guessing nothing was done in either case, also considering M4B did it twice, I'm assuming he didn't get warned the first time.
I'm not saying they didn't deserve it, but that sort of thing is a bit low IMO. |
