Solved Why can no one reply in the forum games area

Ive never seen a troll

But Ive had two guys throwing self hating tantrums over me saying I dont like how a game looks, and another accusing and threatning me for saying you can joke about anything; some guys here should chill

the moderators are probably doing a really good job since i havent seen a single troll. its usually like 1 regular that threw a tantrum and that was it for me.

Glad to hear it, we just tidy up after people crash out or say weird shit. Having a bunch of bitter arguments laying around can be depressing to scroll through.

It's probably a good thing you haven't really.
That trans thread in particular had like three really nasty shitheads drop in and being super hostile. They were clowned on and mods were really fast in cleaning it up, though.
I stumbled upon a gore post once, but reported it instantly and according to Spike it was the only gore pic the site had ever seen (at least at the time).

Thanks for always being so swift and generally great at spotting toxic people stirring trying to stir the pot.

Idk dudes, the gaming community is full of freaking mine fields. Ik one post of mine was replied with 'wow why do women always have such shit taste in gaming' or some shit like that.

I mean I immediately ignored them but it still doesn't fully feel like a safe space, especially after what happened on the TDV thread.

I know the mods and the vast majority of people here respect women and our trans homies but it's discouraging to still see shitbags poking through now and then.

Gaming should be for everyone.

As for it being discouraging, the site is really really tame idk

Douchebags are everywhere, not just gaming community.
We can't control them, but we can control ourselves.
This is a PSA for everyone as a fellow retro gaming enjoyer, never stoop to their level, don't be a douche, ain't we gather together here because of our love for video games?

It is, the mods do a really good job. I think we got lucky with this space attracting good people.

But I'm an asshole

But I'm an asshole

But you are not mean to anyone

 

[PrismRed]

Then at the very least be an asshole to yourself and spare the others.

It was something.

(Though to be honest, most of it was deleting the responses to the assholes, no reason to leave the argument up after the initial comment is gone).

It was definitely a trip.
Feels like it's gonna go down in the forums history as:
"The April 1st incident"

was it from regulars or new users?

 

[Tonberry]

was it from regulars or new users?

Most of the really nasty comments were from Level 1s.

 

[OmegaPunch's icon OmegaPunch OmegaPunch]

Some were regulars, others were fairly new.

Rage is (ironically for his username) a real sweetheart, and kept a lid on things. (I was just deleting things and banning while trying to cook dinner, wasn't much time to post).

Mostly new, yeah.

Wowza that's why I was missing context. I kept looking through the thread like 'what's going on?!'

Yall work fast.

I wish we can bring it back but you gotta have a post level of 2 and above

Post automatically merged: Apr 1, 2025

It would make sense, since trolls here are usually level 1 or just bots who stumble here just to shit it up. You gotta have some history on this forum to post on the general discussion board! would that help?

 

[Maresia]

This is the first time I actually hear there are trolls or assholes that want to mess with everyone else.
From what I've seen interacting with you all is that this is a nice and chill place, so it's a shame we can't post on the general board anymore.
I'm that regular on the site, but I know I can come here anytime to have a nice discussion or just talk about random things.

That's why he is happy guts
