    Hmm maybe fire some of the mods because they're not doing their job properly?! Lmao, there is a mod named Jennifer and he banned me for no valid reason whatsoever. Anyways, I filed a complaint to TTG via email about them so I'm guessing that person will be dealt with.

    I know what the situation is, but I'm not going to interfere. That said, I will point out a few things.

    1) Jennifer is a she. Name probably should have tipped you off.

    2) If you are banned, you will be told why. I believe you have been - let me know if you weren't.

    3) If you WERE banned, we'd ask you to respect why we banned you and avoid repeating the actions that lead to it in the first place. Not insulting mods would be a good start.

    As Darth said. First Jennifer is a she. Secondly Considering Jennifer has been on these forums for a long time, I'm pretty sure that she didn't just randomly decide it would be funny to randomly ban someone. She must have had a reason to do it so I'm assuming you did something that she felt needed a timeout.

    Besides, I always assumed Jennifer was too nice to ban people!

    As for forum suggestions, more emoticons/smilies wouldn't go amiss. :winslow:

    You can never have enough emoticons!

    C'mon, how awesome would it be if every mod closed threads with:

    Please don't yell at me if this is already been discussed (there was a lot of chit chat to go through here, and I wasn't able to read through everything), but is there any chance this website will soon be accessible 24/7? It's unavailable several hours each day.

    Also, I feel like the color scheme is blah and dated.

    Other than that, this discussion forum is wonderful. In particular, the moderators are top-notch.

    Actually, Telltale has been tiptoeing around a new forum for some time now. It would probably get rid of the downtimes - and has a, IMHO, brilliant color scheme. The community's reaction to the beta wasn't too great though, some changes weren't well received, I haven't yet seen a single mod tool, and we have absolutely no idea exactly WHEN the new forum/website will launch. In particular, when puzzlebox tells you, don't believe her! :p

    Kiss-ass. :p

    But yes, the new forum, when it does eventually drop, will solve the downtime issue.

    Also, keep in mind that when I speak of the community, I speak of the moderators as well.

    I think the PS4 WWE game that will be out in like 2015 should have it where you can have 30 men in the ring so you can have a real royal rumble instead of in all the others you have a max of 6 before the clock stops and no one comes out till someone's been thrown out.

    I'd like a General Chat subforum where we can post artwork, stories, videos, or any type of art. I'd like that a lot, I know that there are fanart threads but I think an art subforum without a focused topic would be nice. We could call it the musuem!

    Thanks! I used to be a member of a couple of other forums (they're all filled with trolls now I'm afraid) and a lot of them never had an art dedicated subforum.

    Oooh, can we appoint someone as official curator? They could create galleries and stuff, with quotes from the users to sum each piece up, or something.
  • edited August 2013
    OK, just so we're clear - one mod saying it's a nice idea does not automatically make it s done deal.

    That said, I also agree it sounds neat, and I'll certainly mention it to the higher-ups, so who knows.

    What about two mods? :p
  • edited August 2013
    Two mods means we're implementing it RIGHT THE HELL NOW.

    Or maybe it just means the idea has some weight. One of the two.

    The former made me laugh.

    Well I don't care that much if the idea never passes through but it's worth a try. It will also be a great excuse to get myself back on creative writing.

    Please ban all of the role-players! Seriously, enough is enough.

    So what do you think about the fan fics ? Do you want them banned aswell ?

    Are you serious? If people on the forums want to role-play (I'm assuming you are talking about the TWD forums) Then just leave them alone and don't go into the thread. You can't just say ''Oh they are doing something that I don't like! BAN THEM!''

    Took me months to confine those Queen Clementine kids into a single thread! After all that hard work, just ban 'em all?

    ...damn, I really should have thought of that earlier.

    One would think then that three or more mods and much of the community disliking the beta forums in general would weigh heavily against its implementation.

    Can't you see that every single thread in the SPOILERS section is being spammed by the role-players?!

    Yes because one thread in the SPOILERS section=every single thread getting spammed by role-players.

    This is sorta ironic as well considering YOU were the one who said that Jennifer banned you for no reason (Which I don't believe) and now you are asking the mods to ban people just for RPing? (sigh)

    Few, if any, mods have argued against the implementation of the new forums in general. I certainly didn't. This forum is breaking down under our asses as we speak. There's now three to four hours total downtime a day. Some of the most crucial mod tools are now infunctional. We never got the two 'new' mods on board with full functionality. Yeah, I personally want that new forum, badly.

    The new forum will definitely take some time getting used to, for the mods probably far more than for the community. There is one (1) feature in the beta that was strongly disliked by moderators and community alike. Of the present 10 moderators, six have spoken out rather passionately against it. Three haven't commented. One characterized the feature as not so bad.

    All of them, I believe, are willing to give it an honest try.

    It's a community forum. If a main structural feature is wildly unpopular among the active community, it will eventually have to go. Just as much as it once was in this forum, not everything is set in stone. Especially not in the beta.

    Clicked on six threads. None were infested. This is a self regulating community, and your plea has definitely been heard. Usually, when things are really burning up there, helpful members report posts and send well reasoned PMs.

    Thread not about Wrestling, Simpsons or Doctor Who: Off Topic, thread closed. Well... we'd rather go with TomPravetz.
