I think it's cool that games has like 3 pages of quite active threads and every time you reload page 1 you see a bunch of different stuff

We're just going to replace the feedback thread's cabin air filter and refill the wiper fluid and everything will be back to normal.

Very good point another mod or IK should run the experiment with the same controls to verify the findings.

I can't sticky threads in games or I would do it myself

e: which is bizarre because afaict every single other button works everywhere in games and games subforums and I'm 99% sure that I have at least one button in games that I didn't have as a d&d IK.

Does bust rodd have some sort of secret info on the admins or something? I can't figure out why he's still around

what do you want the mods of the games forum to do about this, kill him?

that's really the least they could do, imo

VideoGames posted:

Games has a reputation across most of these forums as a place to go if you want to post that you hate games. I do not think anyone would deny that. We have never probed people for just being negative all the time, though. I would argue that all three of your examples do not really do much for discussion and over time this causes discussion to slow to nothing. There is a weird sort of desire to be aloof and free from unironic enjoyment. Reading nothing posts like your first example over and over is the norm here. All I would like if that was not quite the case.

I used to probe people in here who were broken complaining records and it was worth it 100% of the time. it's good and healthy unless you want people making the same worthless post over and over for months or even years

apropos of nothing an Admin once told me that the CSPAM games thread was much better than Games, so i checked and they were in the middle of an extended discussion about how people who play the Atelier games are pedophiles

Complaint: the steam thread is currently too much a chat thread with too many white-noise posts. I don't mind chat threads, I don't mind white-noise posts, but clicking on it with 10+ new posts and it's "no u suck at sekiro and you're bad" "no U suck" "no UUU suck" is just very tiring.

Also I wish stux would post in a less hostile manner.

i bet you suck at sekiro

why didn't they laugh the first time, obviously I should repeat the joke, but louder

if its against the rules why should it be ignored
if its not against the rules why do so many people continually report it as if it was, and why have two different mods probated him over it (with one ostensibly 'threadbanning' him over it)

people report completely innocuous poo poo because they're karening about stupid poo poo

there absolutely is no rule against someone saying the words 'not going to watch it'

just hit ignore if you don't like it

Still think that a firm no media analysis rule and moderating for speculation would largely keep the thread within acceptable boundaries

I think this is probably the single biggest thing that would make a qualitative change
