Basically, what I think is gonna happen is I'm going to post a revised board rules thing here in general blabber and start enforcing it more strictly. The only thing I ever keep an eye on is people's signatures, I'm constantly telling people to resize their sigs (Speaking of which, Cap'n, your sig is too tall, change it now.)
Right now I'm not pointing fingers at anybody, but you'll know if you're fucking up once these new rules are implemented. Chances are, I'm going to have it so you get a few warnings and then if you're still fucking up, you'll get banned for a month. Then if you're still acting like an ass, you'll just be banned for good.
I hardly even read General Blabber anymore... the other forums are MUCH more interesting. And for the record, there are some really good newbies joining... but they're not posting in this forum and trying to be all "LOOK AT ME. I AM THE MISTER FUNNIES TOO! ROFLROFL!" They're making normal posts and adding something valuable to the conversations rather than just replying to every thread for the sake of replying.
And yes, as someone already stated, it's hard to pay for a board each year (which many of the board veterans donated to) when you see people filling up the most active forum (general blabber) with 99% usel drivel.
I'll probably post the revised board rules in the next day or so. In the meantime, I strongly suggest those of you who haven't read
chojin's old newbie guide (which is meant to HELP you get used to these forums, not mock you) for starters.
If any of you have suggestions for things you'd like to see in the rules (ie: problems that keep coming up on the board) by all means post them here and I'll take 'em into consideration.
