I had more legal pressure from upset forum users in 6 months than from copyright holders in 13 years.
I'm sorry if things aren't perfect, I'm sorry if your opinion was deleted, or that you were banned.
I just can't keep up with all the drama, the blackmailing, I have my own problems, If someone upset you on this forums, please deal with it. This takes a toll on my mental state...I just can't any more.

Yeah real sad for spike he got us all togther in the first place.
Least we can do is say thanks spike for your awesome work on preserving these games for generations that never got to play these games when they came out.
You a real G dude we are all with you on this one.

Secondly, I know I at least would want you to take care of yourself first before anything else. We all wouldn't be on this site without ya, and I think everyone appreciates that.
Losing the general stuff to some pathetic assholes sucks, and I can only imagine the tough spot that bullshit like that puts you in, which I think might be the most frustrating part. I hope things ease up for you soon.

I think report system can make it better. Add a bottom about haters.
I also think best work against haters and troolers is ignore them.
They want attraction? SO WE MUST NOT GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT!
I think ignore system is so great! I hope you have better days.
Some people are so self important they have to ruin an entire forum because they didn't like the conversation on a video game website. Go touch some grass.
Geez, I work 45-hour weeks, so I hadn't seen any of this until now. For a few moments, I was afraid I'd been banned!
It's a shame. Lately, I've seen so many of my favorite revivalist boards (NG BBS, Bullboard, JAM, and now this one), fall because people couldn't help themselves. Maybe the internet really has changed...
because mental health threads are just as important as threads where people post characters that are this or that color, or describing their favorite characters in one word

and adding on by the way, when the admins literally announced that they'd be doing this, I literally said, hey wouldn't this prioritize low effort posts and imply that this would potentially make this place worse?
But nah, I was dismissed. I'm pretty sure you could literally see in my post history where Spike announced this and I pointed that fact out. I must admit, I find stuff like this to be pretty funny. Because hi, as someone who struggles with mental health, this doesn't tell me you care. I get this is a gaming forum, but it gives me a certain vibe. NGL.

And no, I don't get a good vibe from this response to my question either. And realistically, I would like to think that I'm justified in my skepticism towards this leveling system and what it's actually for. Because well, the only way that this leveling system works now is if you want to talk to a mod about concerns you have to make and or post a public thread or, posts, and if you are afraid of conflict, and you don't like what someone says, you're going to look hostile. Which by the way, I do have my issues with what you said to me here Spike. I don't believe you when you say people don't know how to find the repro. I really don't.
And I don't say that because I distrust you. It just seems... impossible to me. To be completely honest with you.

I feel like I got excuses to justify changes that would ruin the quality of their website and who posts what, but that's just how I feel personally. The internet has changed. For better and for worse.
Doesn't mean that this board is bad I'd assume, but deeply flawed. And the people who have the most power to fix it, just won't. Why? Because it let's them interact with their website and they think that 25 posts really isn't that many. When honestly, if you're posting at least once a day, that's a majority of your month. At least you don't need to have x amount of posts to access the repro right?

It's by no means a perfect system, but there's a good way around that: click the "report" button, write what you wanna say and we will read it.
Now, of course, this isn't how that's supposed to work and I really don't wanna be addressing concerns that way, but you brought a valid point to the table and I wanted to acknowledge it.

thank you. I'm sorry that my posts are very long and detailed, but it's made me very concerned to at all voice my concerns or thoughts. Realistically, I find it to be absurd that people wouldn't be able to know or read that the repro is what it is for. Why is it that when I get to talk about whatever I want, literally anyone could respond and it could quite literally be any topic, maybe even quite educational. But is it really worth the bandwidth to just say my favorite character is "hot" and lock that off along with the mental health thread of all things?
@Spike I'm very sorry to @ you. But do you have any thoughts on what I said? Because I get it's been some time now. But I really do not like how this is, and I don't know. Some of this seems sorta sketchy ngl.
I'm not trying to accuse you, but isn't there a way for you or other admins to possibly unlock these sorts of threads? I understand the concern of us level 0s causing problems for you. But, can you at least understand mine too? It seems that this locking wasn't just for DMs. What gives?
It's not like I can DM you about this. So... This is kind of what you wanted if someone like me has a problem. I'm sorry, but this is kind of the only option you've given people like me.

I figured I might as well add on, because I think this is also a very important detail while I'm still here, because ngl. I'm very upset right now about this. Because I can prove objectively that the staff team isn't disclosing everything they need to to not only level 0s, but levels 1-7 just based off of what I know of my experiences alone. So, I think this should be an important read. As this affects EVERYONE.
I didn't remember to mention this as I sort of forgot that the link @Spike sent me on that level questions thread didn't work as I didn't have access. I have a screenshot attached. But, if you can't even tell us the actual rules of what each level user does, and you can't even give us something to read that you EXPECT US TO READ how could I or anyone in good faith believe what you told me? If this is about not having strangers talk to people they don't know... Then why even let anyone talk to each other on this website to begin with? Why not communicate that some threads, and some parts of this website won't be accessible? In fact, things not being accessible was not communicated to users when they got here. Maybe when they signed up, but you'd need to prove that first. Wouldn't a more manual review be more effective in discerning whether or not a person is legitimate anyways over how many times they posted anyways? Even if that would be a lot of time and resources to do for each individual user.
How don't these changes negatively impact users who don't post as frequently is now my question.
And how could you have acted like this wouldn't have had negative effects exactly?
If you want people to approach you about problems, hiding things whether intentionally or not, and making it impossible to communicate directly to you in the most mature and professional means one could while also brushing off concerns by moving goal posts because you have your own feelings and opinions about the site isn't going to change that problem you have with people where they give you more problems than apparently copyright holders.
any "drama" that comes of that, is on you. And anyone who choses to not communicate civilly, maturely is at least in my perspective not going to be entirely on them from my perspective. Because who wouldn't be angry at someone who won't even tell them what they can and cannot do in their own digital home when they're treating us as a welcomed guest or a member of a community but cannot communicate everything we need to know directly?
Because this will now bring up the question, what else are the staff team hiding from not just me, but the rest of the users who use this site? And when things move along and change, how transparent are the staff team going to be? Because either @Spike wasn't properly informed, or he blatantly lied to me. Either way, this doesn't seem to align with the best interests of the users of this site in my opinion. And I think more attention should be called to it. These things should and must be communicated. Otherwise, there's no point in asking any of you questions.
from a level 0 who can't even read the goddamn faq.
I'm sorry if I'm being dramatic, but honestly I want to know why is it that level 0s are treated less than dirt, and why is it that the mod team thinks that we're not owed some honesty or transparency here. Because this is really fucking sketchy.
