This is not a flaming thread. This is not a deragatory thread. This is not an insulting thread. This is a thread to state the truth.
Is it just me, or is the intelligence rate of New Mombasa descending every day?
New Mombasa was never an exceptional thread to begin with, but when I first joined, it was at least enjoyable to go there. Granted, you had the occasional stupid thread in there, but it was usually taken care of pretty quickly.
Nowadays, it's not even pleasant anymore.
It has become overrun with spammers, flamers and trolls. People who randomly post a spam/derogatory thread in there, get blacklisted, create a new account, and the cycle repeats.
I support the rules. I endorse the rules. I think they are, for the most part, fair. And I obide them as well as I can (nobody is perfect). But the new New Mombasa regulars cannot stand people like me, evidently. If I see someone break a rule in a thread, I will correct them and warn them for future reference. It has earned me the reputation of being a "forum cop" around here, but I don't care.
The regulars can't stand me. Whenever I correct someone, they freak out. Flaming, swearing, dodging the -blam!- filter, it's insane.
Last night, two New Mombasa regulars who hate me got into a bunch of my groups and spammed the living hell out of them posting pages upon pages of derogatory, insulting and profane threads about me. So I had to undertake the wonderful task of weeding them out and deleting them for about an hour. Yay!
In one group, due to a weird glitch, they got some admin privileges and blacklisted all my members except for me, and deleted every single thread made there, including a sticky I had spent about twenty minutes on, corralling a bunch of interesting threads.
All because the New Mombasa regulars hate me.
I cannot stand New Mombasa nowadays. The idiots have taken over. I'd like to see something done about it, but there's probably a snowball's chance in Hell of that happening.
So, is it just me, or has New Mombasa grown increasingly stupid?
