I'm sorry but this has begun to annoy the hell out of me. This place has turned into a zoo. Every post, every idea, every...anything, it all gets vandalized. People are afraid of improvement...because, lo-and-behold, giving members more power, even in their own groups, might lead to vandalism! Karma? Oh no! Vandalism. Post report? Oh no! Vandalism.
What is wrong with this place? A few good improvements can have repercussions if not implemented properly, but that's easy to fix! Karma? Let people report a post/person only once per item. Ever. That means, the database saves their feedback with their name, and doesn't let them leave karma on that post again. Grudges wouldn't matter...unless they have other screennames! In which case, don't allow more then 3 karma replies from one IP address. Simple. Same goes for post report features. A moderator only gets PMed by the system if say...7 or more people request that the post gets locked. Vandal-proof...since there is such a phobia of it.
And what's with the flaming? Every other post is locked, sometimes needlessly. And the lack of user-generated content? Or the mass lethargia? Why is there no montage database...or why are there no guides anymore, or no solid updates, or screenshots...SOMETHING! Man you don't understand. I sit here every night looking for something interesting to post, or to read...or to watch. Each time I am met with humiliating defeat. Why do I feel like my favorite place is dying, that my evenings have become dreadfully dull? I think it's come nearly time for us all to pack our bags, move off to Counter-Strike (which has a thriving and vibrent community)...and leave this poor soul in peace--to be ripped apart by flame wars and such.
Finally, the slow degrading has gotten to me.
