MODERATORS!

PLEASE, Tom! There are these people that come on here, and talk about just random crap! Please either come on and do something, or make SOMEONE a mod! I don't care who!

To be honest I don't think it's a huge deal right now as traffic is pretty light anyway, I don't mind a few random threads. I may create a random chat forum where people can do this.

Have you read the majority of threads lately Tom? It's not random threads, it's threads being taken over by blabber midway through. And it's just getting worse.

I don't know about policing it all, as they do have a right to do it. It's not pleasant, but it's not illegal.
People just need to really stop responding to all those posts and replies. Stop acknowledging them and their banter and eventually they'll give up. Replying with "This is stupid, I'm boycotting" only gives them fuel to increase the annoyances and see how many people will respond.
Because honestly, responses with nothing but grammar and spelling corrections, "please stop this", and holier than thou attitudes are as annoying as responses filled with nothing but "okkkay!" They've been increasing dramatically recently and it's been a real turn off for the forums.

I have to disagree. These aren't "hey wuzzap pepol lts talk" people, this are almost grammitically correct people. They are actual people.
Look, if there was a group, and they kept it in that, I would be annoyed, but ok. But they spread, and post like that in every thread, especially Ino. He acts as if he MUST post in everything that he sees even if it's "ok".
I'm going to start boycotting the threads that don't matter, but I'm going to try to save the ones that I still want to go on topic.

You can't censor people for posting stupid threads. This isn't communist china. :) All you can do is mock them and hope they go back to myspace. but censoring? nah. it totally goes against the concept of what internet forums should be.

So when they hit a thread you don't want them to, you just ignore their replies. If you keep making a big deal out of it every time, they're going to keep posting because they're getting attention. Just go about your business, respond where you want to, and eventually they'll get bored.

What about organisation? If you're looking for something of interest within a thread and then see people just having their own little conversation for 8 or 9 posts then it is hardly encouraging. It wouldn't be complete deletion of these posts (unless they were just flame wars or insults), but splitting them off into a general chatter area of the forums would help greatly.
Sure, I may be a bit of an organisation freak, but thats why I'm on this site in the first place! :P

Exactly, tartan! The point is that this site has a purpose to discuss movies, games and books, not just randomly talk. There must be rules.

Of course, before any moderation can be done rules need to be established or those moderating will have completely different views on what should be done. ;)

Guys, I hate to bring this back up, but this is literally and totally retarded. You might have noticed I left for a while. Do you know why? 2 stupid Naruto freaks. I come back, and guess what I find? Even MORE stupid Naruto freaks. And what's worse, NOTHING has been done to stop them. Now I scroll down the groups page and see that Naruto crap takes up half of it, many are the same thing.
Tom, I know you are trying to make it friendly for everyone, but PLEAAASSEEEE! This is sooooo stupid! I seriously came to this site, and was suprised at how high the intelligence level is. People talked intelligently about books, movies, even games! Isn't that what this site kinda supposed to be like? Don't you want it to err more on the side of smart than the side of stupid? I left because everyday, I would log on, and all I could see was Naruto crap, and Ino (who has apparently changed his name, again) crapping up every thread. I was literally driven away from this site because of them. Don't you think that might happen to other people too? And if you just ignore it, the problem will only get worse, as it already has.

I hearby recant my earlier post, as anbu is being VERY cooperative.
But here's a new question: did I miss a chance to become a mod? What did I miss?

lol thanx DOK
well that question might be answered correctly by tom himself but in my point of view i think that you would have become a great mod if only you had asked (i think)
and tryed to be more cooperative in any way you can seek to provide the help neede to tom and the others and they would really like you to be a mod with a great responsibility
