I have been reading the posts at this forum for several months, finally deciding to join it yesterday to add some intellect to the collective blah that seems so abundant around here. So many offenses of one-word posts, flaming, etc. It doesn't really seem proper...
I may be a newbie to these forums, but not to forums in general. Every other well-developed forum that I've been to (including my own) has rather strictly enforced a group of simple rules that benefit every decent member. What is the point in making a post that simply uses one or two words to answer question or statement without even elaborating on the reason(s) why you think so? (I.E. "No, that's wrong.") Even worse is the most foul one-word post. That is just..spam really. I believe that a good deal more of an effort needs to be made to remedy these problems, as well as others that I haven't mentioned.
I''m absolutely sure that [i]somebody[/i] here will use do one of the things I mentioned in this thread as a reply.. Some will agree, others will not.
What a strange first thread...

Yea, I'm in finals right now. All my time is being spent working on projects. We will get around 5 or 6 new mods soon. Probably within the month. We will also get new tools that will make our job easier. Including a new system for banning and a way to temporary lock accounts. Soon, this place will be have less spam....but for now just keep sending in alerts to your favorite moderator. Sorry for all the crap you see on the boards now. [Edited on 6/13/2004 8:05:12 PM]
