The point is that it is impossible to stop people from using proxies. We discussed this already. The idea (which is a very old one btw) is quite worthless for that reason.

no, I'm not running out of memory. Read again. And there is no point in adding different types of moderators. I can also just tell moderators to have a special look at a certain section of the website.

@user DC:
Oh sorry, misread.

Also you had the thread smth like "New moderator phrase 1"
What about to already add an moderator that get most voted?

It is really better to let DC choose it. Since 8 year old people will vote too...

And since votes can be sabotaged thanks to proxies and stuff, like multiaccs and something like "Hay freind plez go press dis batton".

Also interesting part, DC visiting the site almost every day, and he know many people, so why should forum decide to choose a moderator? Whats the point? Moderator is moderator, he is doing his job no matter who he is.

And yes, bans would help.

My two cents on how to improve the attitude in this forum:

• Most important: Lead by example. If you don't like people calling you an idiot, don't call them an idiot. Don't respond to insults with insults. Before you write something, ask yourself if you would like someone writing that to you. This is especially important for moderators (I am not saying they are part of the problem, just that they should be extra careful since they are authorities). There will always be instigators, but you don't need to play along in their games.
• Delete flame posts/comments instead of just tagging them as rule violations. Garbage attracts more garbage. People get triggered when they get a visible reaction to their action.
• A button in each post/comment to report it if it violates the rules.

+100 You're right

Problem with simply deleting violation-posts is that many of the consecutive posts refer to them. This makes them candidates for removal as well but they may also contain useful stuff which would get lost that way. But yeah.. probably still better to completely remove this crap.

I chose "other": Reach adulthood. That would probably be the best way to 'clean up' US.

No, honestly. Most users here are underage. So what do you expect?

You think,that kids won't register as 99 old grandpa's?

I don't really know,but it is likely impossible.

Edit : Huh,that may sound retarded,but the only way to "fix" UnrealSoftware,is too close it. I am not saying that DC should do that,but if he will do something like that,he will have much more time for Stranded III or more updates. (inb4 shit storm,I guess? I am not saying him to do that.)
Also something like a function,that doesn't allows comment/rate for first 7 days. (I think,somebody already said that.)

Or again,more Moderators.

I wouldn't have more time. The only reason I created this forum is to create a platform where people can help each other. Having no forum would result in more emails/pms for me.

So the best solutions are No commenting/posting files sprites etc./using pm function or anything at all (in us.de only) for 7 days after registration or 14 for example and a bit more moderators.

@user WinterPwnd: Users will then simply spam 7 or 14 days later. This is pure nonsense and super stupid for every normal new user who would have to wait a week before he is able to post. It's one of the worst and most stupid things I could do!

This is actually bold flame and generalization. Not every Brazilian or Turkish or WhatEverNationality user is bad. So stop saying that or receive temp bans for rule violations. Thanks.

I don't actually think you'll temp ban someone for being racist against Turkish or Brazilian people.

Admin/mod comment

Of course I will. Rules are rules. No exceptions. /DC

I think he can. Because racism is a racism you know. For example - russians. There is too much russian dumb kids and whole forum thinks that russian are stupid. And if someone will say "russian people sucks" he will get temp ban anyway because he used that word to describe not those assholes, but whole country.
So if i say "Brazilian sucks" i may offend some normal and cool guys from that country.

No, mate; I know he can. I meant that he doesn't actually give a damn about those racist comments for those countries.
