Invade our forums with intellect!

[WadeFulp]

For a long time now sections of the NG forums have been spilling over with spam and gibberish. We are now trying to turn things around and reduce the amount of crap. So if you haven't checked out our forums, or were scared away by what you saw there in the past, we invite you to come help improve our forums with intelligent, mature, and interesting topics and posts!

All you have to do is click the FORUMS button at the top of any NG page. The General forum is the forum we are really trying to improve. See you there!

Time for the NG BBS revolution!

[caseyo]

okay.

[H-K-S]

ok sir but whats the catch

[esko-man]

If someone knows the coding, you could always put in some automatic sensors, like YahooIM does... This might make things cleaner, and more apropriate for everyone.

[Tommy]

Front page post, more likely to attract idiots or mature people?....

[Janus]

We're not all sub-moronic. Seriously.

[Andersson]

You sure are taking a new turn on the NG BBS, aren't you?

Good to see some front page advertisement for the forum aswell. =)

[Rustygames]

how have you filtered out crap?

[BatDan]

The results of this post may be catastrophic. Will the old users come back? Or will we just invite even more newbies?

We just have to wait and see.

[Xurch]

Is it possible accounts could get deleted for starting or posting in a spam thread now?

[Robotussin]

I'll try to do my best.

or not.

[Orangebeef]

I will obey.

[Frostbreath]

You mean, use our common sense? Oh, great!

No, seriously though, i'll do my best to act serious. It'll be fun putting on that mask for a while now.

[SpamBurger]

This will just cause more people to make alt accounts and make crappy spam threads out of spite. Bad move.

[Adam]

80% of the time it's the new people who spam, alt or not.

If we get 1 mature poster from this it's worth it though.

[GoryBlizzard]

How exactly are you trying to "turn things around"? By adding more mods?

[uoip]

I, at least will try my best to avoid posting in spam.

[WillPostForFood]

oh great. does this include things like my wade chicken topic?

[CaptinChu]

Wade, I wish I could, but as you can see in this oriental diagram of the male brain:

[hoops31237]

the NG BBS is doing a 180!

[Vampire-Addict]

About time you did something about this mess , Wade ... The General forum really needed to change... I'm glad you're finally putting an end to the faggotry. However , my question is ... how are you going to go about in doing so??? You're a busy man and you're obviously not gonna stay for 24 hours just to clean up the mess there and as you have already witnessed ... the current moderation team has failed in keeping those forums free from unintelligible topics / posts and unfunny spam threads ...
Thus , I strongly believe you should revise and replace the current moderation team because I believe many of them fall short on their duties , abuse their powers , and do not properly moderate your forums the way you , Tom and the NG staff probably intended so...

No argument here.

I like this forum because of the LACK of serious topics. I don't want General filled with moronic spam, but I don't want it to be serious. If it were all serious, I would see "The Internet is Serious Buisness" pictures in my head, laugh, then come to General less often. I want a healthy balance.

All you have to do is click the FORUMS button at the top of any NG page. The General forum is the forum we are really trying to improve. See you there!

I'm glad you are trying to make the forums a better place for everyone. I do occasionally want to read posts without trying to make sense out of a post that looks worst than alphabet soup.

[Idocreating]

I reckon it's the fact the mods have been reluctant to go on a rampage.

But i will try to improve any topics i make.

the catch is use a little more thoguth when making a post...and dont be a dumbass

[HellboundNinja]

ive een thing we need more cluster threads
like darw me threads should all be in one topic
then if someone wants to draw people he knows where to go
The Offical I'll Draw You Topic
simple
same with photoshoping
and rate me things
lets jsut make one huge topic for each one
we did for videos form youtube and ifilm
and the same thing happend for YTMND's
that alone would cut donw ona huge amount of spame topics

[Ejit]

Do the Habbo Hotel thing , yes i used to visit habbo hotel:(, dont allow explicit words

[esko-man]

Here's another idea, get a mod for the latre late nights. There are little to no mods between 4:00am and 7:30am, the s*** runs wild! Aren't the Asians up at this hour? Maybe one of them being a late night mod could help out.
