Imagine being a member of community for 20 years and just leaving.
Show some empathy. This forum is big presence in someone’s interactions and daily routine.
It might be a joke to you but people treat this seriously. It’s not just a news site to some. There is a reason I argue with people sometimes. That’s because I care. I care about gaming. It’s a huge part of my life.
If you can do something for this long and just let it go? You lack the human inside you.
Edit: and also sometimes when I report trolls. Mods just answer “deal with it” or “don’t cry”. That’s almost more offensive than what I report… I get easily baited so I guess it’s my fault too
Well to be fair, it's just a video game forum. It sounds like the OP feels like Xbox fans are getting brunt of it and that's part of being pissed. Who cares.
I can understand someone in a forum getting peeved that he's getting plastered with personal insults and nobody is doing anything about it. But I dont think GAF is like that. You get some trolling and ribbing, but lets not pretend here GAF is a free for all of stupidity and callous remarks aimed at every person's head.
As for reporting trolls, who cares. I've been on this board part of all the fun back and forth banter and I think I have reported to mods once. And I've never put someone on ignore either. I dont even remember what the report even was. And looking back right now, I think it was petty even to report that one incident.
I've had a handful of warnings over the years and I think it was fair. The only one I think was unfair (which I didn't even bother replying back since it was I think a 2 pt warning which I brushed off) was one time there was a video upload thread and I was posting YT trailers like everyone else. I posted two clips in one post. Then I found some more good ones and did a second post with I think two posts. I got a warning by a mod saying I was spamming the thread. I didnt feel like editing the post to make it one 4 video post, so I did two separate ones. Who cares.
Edit: I looked back at my warning. Actually it seems legit. I actually did 5 rapid fire posts. I thought I did two. I guess that mod preferred if I compiled it into one or two posts. Fair enough.
