Title: How to Deal with Irrelevant Forum Posts
Post by: Vic Holt on May 12, 2012, 06:54:24 pm
Hello everyone, I'm fairly new here, and I always give any game I play the ultimate try before I rage quit and write my reviews.  I'm truly trying to enjoy my time here, however I'm having a bit of trouble staying on topic with forum posts as a result a particular forum account.

My question is this:

Is there a plan of attack to take care of posters who post nothing but irrelevant things in threads?

I know that irrelevant posts in a thread or "spam" are typically dealt with in spam, and it makes it extremely difficult to keep a conversation going whenever this person joins the conversation with spam.

If there is a way to report these people or something, I'd surely like to know.

If not, how do you guys typically deal with the morons of the "wastes"?

How do you message the overseer? And can you try harder to sound fluent?  Google has a free translator that probably spent more years in class than you.

You can "report to moderator" the post you find is messing up a topic.

When you report to moderator, please write something more than
"This is spam" or "I think this guy is multi account user" etc...

As much you write information, more faster solutions happens and guys got banned <3

Thanks for tip, I wrote a fairly thorough report, detailing that Bambi seems to just be posting irrelevant gibberish, all the while trying to "enforce" his own brand of forum justice... which I'm sure mods don't appreciate, since it makes them look like bad when a moron is enforcing their website.

Hopefully it gets dealt with.

You should read this, Vic Holt.

All threads eventually go off topic although yes some people like Bambi often post very irrelevant posts but when you want to get someones shit edited/deleted or them banned you should try to follow the rules which includes not flaming someone as you did quite recently (I believe it was calling Bambi a faggot) You insult the community here, calling us worse than the WoW community and you expect people to be kind to you?

This is our community, it is not like any other community and there will always be those who people believe to be assholes in all communities, that doesn't mean you should insult us as a whole.  Bambi isn't "enforcing" anything on the forum besides his opinion however off-topic/irrelevant to the thread it may be.  With your thinking about leaving already I highly doubt this community is something you can handle.  If you decide to stay in the wasteland I wish you good luck, if you decide to leave I'm sure we will survive without you or you could even become one of the many people who do not contribute at all and just browse the forum.

P.S. for easily answered questions you should post in http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,18127.705.html

Have a nice day.

I am a proud idiot and I will tell you the best way to treat us kind and innocent folk is to nod your head and laugh like hell. Taking us seriously will not benefit either party.

What did he do that was so wrong? He was just reacting to Bambi's constant trolling.

Are there any other kind? Personally I think any interaction is good since it keeps the place lively. I'm pretty sure almost all of the people still playing are forum regs.
