I couldn't care less what people call each other but when you want to debate about something and people start harassing and posting awful comments for no reason you start feeling like your on a forum full of 6 year old's...
People the game is rated "M" for mature. I don't say that to stop insulting people, because there will always be people who feel the need to p… morerove there belief is stronger or more right. I say this because if you seriously take a insult on a video game forum to heart, you have deeper issues. Its an animated point and click game.
Man, where did the old mods go. Remember darth? He was my favorite mod. Also, Crixus, why aren't you at the forum that I Waste My Time made? I… moret's got a lot less irrational hatred. And a lot more real discussions, rather than fan wars. Aside from TKA, but that's one guy in a group of people. And he's rational about everything other than Kenny.
People shouldn't be afraid to express their genuine opinion on a character. I don't care how popular or likable or awesome you think a character is, it should not make them immune to criticism. Insulting another user for insulting a fictional character reflects poorly on you, not them.
The mods need to get better at removing disruptive users. Don't know I'm allowed to name any names here but there have been some users who were clearly just trying to stir things up. Not posting sincere but controversial opinions. Just straight up trolling. Some of their posts have been flagged, but nothing seems to happen. That needs to change.
BTW, if anyone's interested in discussing the Walking Dead in a more friendly, more forum-y environment, a few of the former and current members of the Telltale Walking Dead forums set up another site a little while back: http://othertwdforum.freeforums.net/
Check it out if you're getting tired of the bullshit here.
You can't blame mods for certain people around here.Sure,there could be a good giveaway of a few days of bans just to calm things down,but its ultimately impossible to police a forum like this all the time.This forum (not just TWD) doesn't even have enough mods to begin with,imo.
For what it's worth, here's my two cents on this:

I agree with that. It was mostly * snip * and * snip * kicking up the bullshit, back then. Now * snip * has disappeared, and * snip * has calmed down a bit, but now there's so many other dummies making stupid arguments.
Especially considering that all of the old mods left for double-fine. Darth Madsen (I think that was his username...), we miss you. Now, Van is the only mod I've seen. It's gotta be hard on him.

You should see restrictions on MMO-C though.
Forum Guideline reminder. You should not talk about banned members.
Forum Guideline reminder. If you're insulted, you DON'T INSULT BACK. Yo… moreu contact a mod.
And you absolutely can not make another account to continue the discussion when you were just yanked out for a reason.
Thanks.
No Marsden's still here. He's just not around as much. Vain's just the main mod for the TWD forums I think. There's also Blind Sniper, who was somewhat recently modded. But yeah, more active modding would be great.

Oh. You're more up to date than I am, dome. I remember him saying that he and all other mods (aside from van) were leaving. Also, Blind Sniper's cool. He deserves it

We were absolutely excellent at that back in August, I believe. We've switched from fairly advanced tools in the old forum to literal stone age ones in the meantime, frankly. That is unfortunately absolutely not limited to the flag system, but the flag system is very much part of the equation here. The flag system works like the message feed for us, but all flags are displayed on one page. But we're also unable to remove flags from that queue, so several thousands of flags start loading as soon as you access the Mod Queue. When I try to do that, my browser crashes and that's that. I can't access the flags, I couldn't for weeks now. I can't see the flags. I can't act on the flags.
I have a chance to see personal messages though. Shoot me one of those instead please.

I never came to this forum during the entire time of S1... did it ever get this stupid before? >-<
I couldn't care less what people call each other but when you want to debate about something and people start harassing and posting awful comments for no reason you start feeling like your on a forum full of 6 year old's...
Nope, that I can recall
Yea, I really do miss the old forum
luke pete alvin sarah rebecca carlos nick carver
we're missing a Consonant-Vowel-Double Consonant-Y character here. Get on it Telltale!
plz bring back molly
No! It was full of sunshine and rainbows!
Trust us.
No, not another sunk thread.
PREPARE THE BATTLETHREADS COMRADES
Umm... YES. Rainbows and sunshine... pfff?!
Abandon ships!
I've been meaning to check it out, I'm definitely gonna get over to it soon man, its called motor inn forums I think isn't it?
The S.S Saltlick has been hit. Everyone on the thread abandon thread! I will stay! A good captain always goes down with his thread!
Here's the link, bro:
http://othertwdforum.freeforums.net/
I agree,the old format was much better.
Hell,I needed 3 days just how figure out how replaying to comments is viewed here.
There were a few "shining" threads during S1,but like now though....

is it me
did i do anything
i care way too much about what others think of me
I understood it, but I definitely didn't like it. And that hasn't changed. Thank God for IWMT's forum.
I agree with that. It was mostly * snip * and * snip * kicking up the bullshit, back then. Now * snip * has disappeared, and * snip * has calmed down a bit, but now there's so many other dummies making stupid arguments.
No problem, bruski.
I actually think Darth is still around here,just not as active as before.Not sure though.
I shall sing songs of your heroism. Now what was his name?
Especially considering that all of the old mods left for double-fine. Darth Madsen (I think that was his username...), we miss you. Now, Van is the only mod I've seen. It's gotta be hard on him.
Ye olde and great mighty Cactus_Sauce
Excuse me whats a skunk discussion? i
Nah, he said that he completely left.
No Marsden's still here. He's just not around as much. Vain's just the main mod for the TWD forums I think. There's also Blind Sniper, who was somewhat recently modded. But yeah, more active modding would be great.
Blind Sniper FTW!
As I said,no need to blame it on the mods so much.
Oh. You're more up to date than I am, dome. I remember him saying that he and all other mods (aside from van) were leaving. Also, Blind Sniper's cool. He deserves it
The mods do need to get better. there is a forum that a few users use that has gone under fire multiple times and the mods havent done anything
A discussion that went to a much different direction then originally intended,or simply a discussion that turned into BS.
....probably....
What part of the "no name calling" bit didn't you understand?
He neither said that nor did he leave.
Self inflicted wound. Won't do this forever, I tell ya.
Contacting the mods might actually help.
I didn't call any names, except for something you didn't snip.
Also, truth be told, I actually like * snip * and * snip *, despite their tendency with bs. * snip * was my favorite person from the old forum.
EDIT: lol, why did you snip in the first sentence, yet not the second one? I was saying that the crap they pulled was more than tolerable.
Totally agreed.
