Has TA hit a all time low?

Could now. I don't think we're complaining about having the odd disagreement with sane people anyway, it's the rest...

 

Can I ask what happened to Big Albie?!

...but who are you?

 

What about kijib, pedusta (At least I think that's his name), etc.?

Anyways, I think things started going downhill after the Minigore thread. That's when it all started.

 

Just a lurker, but someone who appreciates a good forum. I appreciated his reviews as I appreciate the site as a whole. Not looking to stir up trouble.

 

I think a great solution would be to stick the Minigore, Pocket God and Eliminate topics in a "senior members only" sub-forum. Then all the morons and kiddies will have to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion before they can get in... hopefully learning a thing or two about forum etiquette along the way. It'll never happen (they'd probably spam us to hell), but it'd be nice.

 

Don't worry about him. I think I detected his internet sarcasm/humor on that post.

 

No worries, I have the unique perspective of running a website and a forum so I understand what it is like to be both friend and "boss." When I see instances like like this I can't help but want to help out as I come here every day to check on iPhone games/reviews and the like. I consider this one of the better sites out there for iPhone gaming reviews and I appreciate the work done on the blog, while the forum seemingly and judging by this thread has taken a turn for the worst, rest assured its not driving at least one person away.

 

rofl i remember her...

 

Is there a "Senior Members of TA Group"?

 

That might be a good idea, but what about members such as myself who have a low post count but feel they can provide commentary and posts that are the type that are desired.

 

Well you have good grammar, so you're in

 

Sweeeeeeeet!!! Oh wait, there goes the spelling! Sorry not taking this off topic, but perhaps instead of a thread like this, members who might be lumped into that "senior TA group" should be given a little more authority to handle situations as they arise. I don't know how many moderators there are here or how quickly those that are here are able to respond to posts that require moderation but perhaps adding some additional staff could be helpful. If only to let those people remove posts that aren't contributory, inflammatory or the like.

 

But then wars start between the members, or some people abuse their powers and then...

 

Well thats why there are moderators who are entrusted to oversee those who might members of my proposed, "guardian squad" or something of that nature. Abuse of power must be managed and carefully, on my forums I have more moderators than normal because I try and choose those members who create a balance, those whose interests allow them to spend more time into various topics etc...

 

Lots of trolls lately, not gonna lie, but the only reason it's still a problem is because keep posting on the same damn threads over and over again with comments like "ohmygod, you're soooo stupid. I'm gonna insert a witty and sarcastic comment here to make it even more obvious how smart I am and how stupid you are". Just stop f*cking responding to the threads. Some of those have 10 pages of responses. You dumbasses.

 

I absolutly hate drama which is why I think TA is about the same. Learn to ignore the trolls and life becomes way less complicated.

Yes Kamazar, that was the perfect example of what you just said.

...and so is this.

 

Same, things aren't that much different, TA is just a bit bigger, so more room for trolls... Good to see some of the 1 year TA'ers here! god we're losers... yep you 2 COCO!
