The Chat Thread Back?

[daclassicgamingmaster]

yes, I know. hando said no to both the spam thread and the slipzone. But why cant we have a thread back where we can talk about random things, events in our lives, etc? Same rules as before, no flaming, etc. I dont see why that shouldnt be allowed.

Also if it would be possible to disable post counts like in the slipzone in that one thread?

please consider

i came home from working outdoors all night to find this i agree that it got out of hand and the insults where uncalled for.


I say bring the slipzone back (with tighter controls.)

 

[Rico]

We'd have to talk to hando about it, because he said pretty clearly "no spam topic" although I'd argue that the Chatbox had none of the bad content of the Slipzone and was quite useful for many of us.

 

[clarky2o2o]

the slipzone for me was usefull for the "irrelavance" after a hard nights work coming home and finding "random pictures" (for example) made that day a little bit better. As usual because of a few "misfits" the majority that used it lose out evn if it was just total B/S.

ahh well. never mind

Why not just use the off topic section?

 

[Draken]

The offtopic forum is for serious, but irrelevant to gp2(3)x discussions. What we're asking is for a place to randomly talk about stuff (chat). I second dcgm's request.

Of course there's still irc, but that's not the same due time differences, etc.

IRC, MSN, your own board nobody will register to?

Yeah same. I log on and find it's gone.

I think it's messed up. Apart from slightly disturbing images being posted every now and again. I never really thought that much bad was going on. Even when bad things were shown or said it was always done in a lighthearted way.
I did think it was rude for Warmfluffy to enter and insult people there, whether she thinks that people that used the slipzone were acting like kids/morons is her own opinion and I think that if anything that was what made the slipzone worse, because before then almost any insults that flew were not serious etc...
I also don't think that people in there were really acting like kids. It was all for jokes. And it was a great way to waste 30 minutes.

To me the shatbox (haha) and slipzone have been the 2 best things to happen to this community, as they allowed people to still hang around on this forum even after they had stopped being interested in the GP2X/GP32 as much. Which in general has been a good thing because then they could pass their knowledge and helpfulness onto newer members.

I think the slipzone should have had rules right from the beginning. Obviously less than the rest of the forum but it was probably the lack of planning that let it get so out of control, and the fact that Hando and some of the mods seemed to be quite out of the loop on what was going on there (even now).

It was definitely fair enough to ban Klown as he was acting out of order out of the slipzone. He knew what was coming and was overstepping the line on purpose for comic effect.
I'm sure he'll be back. And I hope he is.
He sort of reminds me of the rebel in the Breakfast Club, who just doesn't know when to stop (A scene near the beginning of the movie)....

I think it's funny that kknd_cf kept unbanning Klown. I think I would have unbanned a friend too. Obviously he shouldn't have though - there should not be any disagreement by the mods on any disciplinary actions.

I think that the slipzone had very little to do with what has just happened.
It was mostly because of the vindictive behaviour (you too Goity!) of particular members on the forum.
Klown should have been banned. And others should have been warned about stepping out of line again. The slipzone should not have been removed for the reasons it has been. If anything it should have been given some basic rules, and it's own mods as Goity asked.
Can't you see?! The slipzone has been scapegoated!

We'd have to talk to hando about it, because he said pretty clearly "no spam topic" although I'd argue that the Chatbox had none of the bad content of the Slipzone and was quite useful for many of us.

The reason that the slipzone had more bad content than the chatbox was that the chatbox was submitted to the same rules as the rest of the forum, and yet it was said right from the beginning that the slipzone was free (etc etc etc...).

Edit: Also, can everybody here stop sucking up to authority so much and just start thinking themselves for once.

tl;dr

 

[Nova]

Well, if you bring the slipzone back, and you need a mod, I'm here.

 

[Alex.]

All the slipzone did was encourage immaturity, and damaged the whole community's image.

I've got to agree there.

 

[K2A3P88]

Rico bans daclassicgamingmaster for 10 DAYS for \\\\\\\"insulting a mod\\\\\\\". Please quote what you deem worthy of a 10 day ban. oh, that\\\\\\\'s right. NOTHING.

Rico, GO SUCK A BIG COCK. Power of the \\\\\\\"uniform\\\\\\\" getting to you? You need to get your fucking priorities in order. Maybe if Hando saw that you do everything BUT your job, you\\\\\\\'d be in the same position as kknd .

Im sure Im not alone in saying that I fucking cant stand you. You are BY FAR the biggest knob on these forums.

Go ahead now and ban this account as well. Im sure what I said was truly offending.


On topic:

I said FROM THE BEGINNING that the slipzone was stupid and fucked up the image this board has. I also said that WE NEEDED RULES, like NO SHOCK IMAGES, NO PORN, NO EXTENSIVE FLAMING. But Rico says \\\\\\\"that\\\\\\\'s what the slipzone is all about\\\\\\\". I guess not.

Btw, you never said ONCE that it was a failed experiment. Now you\\\\\\\'re saying you did? Stop riding dick and pull your tongue out of hando\\\\\\\'s ass.


edit: What the hell is with those slashes? :huh:

Well I obviously disagree.
This whole place is stale when everybody does what they are told.

The funny thing is you ask why you've been banned, then tell me to suck cock. Pretty much self-fulfilling, isn't it?

Ok this is how it goes yeah, slipzone was a funny forum yeah and most of us understood it. But the odd person didn't and basically they got it fucked off cos they sucked at it. You know of whom I speak.

No Tom, tell us...

Actually it was much more than that, there was way more going on and the slipzone was part of it. I remember the uproar when the slipzone started and how many people we're against it. We tried it and it didn't work. Isn't interesting how little there are in complaining it's gone, and most of them agree it was way out of control.

Okay, I do reckon we need something else in a sort of off-offtopic vane, but it needs much better rules and modding than the slipzone had, not just modded by a couple of people, but by the whole extreme team.

Oh and please try not to troll, I have recently discovered I need to be a little stricter in how I mod around here, and you can give yourself a pat on the back for that .

Edit: If I catch anyone blatantly insulting any of our mods, they will be strictly dealt with. As Rico said in another thread, you need to be constructive not insulting. Actually that also goes for any of our board members, don't be an ass, be constructive! You KNOW that giving people information on how they went wrong is much better than simply posting "You don't f***ing know what you're talking about, so shut up".

Enough said I think.
