People are getting really upset lately about the crackdown that's going on here in General Discussion.

"It's not fair...it's General Discussion"
"We can talk about what we want to!"
"Staff is corrupt"

This is just a FEW of the responses I've gotten.

Not to mention, people have once again went back to releasing my "****" ... despite the fact that no one realizes I closed my shop down 9 months ago when I moved and what not...but that's irrelevant.

Personal attacks, I've got death threats, and more. Why? All because I closed topics that were spam and enforced rules.

So let's do some General Discussion here...I want some inputs from people.

What do you think about it?

I put the rules up awhile ago now and still daily...there's

"Need oG GT"
"Rate my Commentary"
"10th lobby here"
"Sub to my youtube/twitter"
"Black ops montage/MW3 Montage"
"Need 48 hour trial"

So...despite the fact that rules have been posted, people still post and still break the OBVIOUS rules. So, why is it that people are so upset when they do it and they in turn get banned?

We're not asking for posting to stop, as you can see, I do leave some threads that are worthwhile for discussion.

This is a General DISCUSSION, so what people need to understand is, your topic needs to be up for DISCUSSION.

Sub to my YT, Need 48 Hour Trial...you cannot discuss that. That's leeching.

What's better, coke or pepsi? .... What does that have to do with a Gaming Community? It's been asked OVER 100 times in multiple threads.

I'm going to leave this open for a bit, I really want to see what the maturity level is in some of the responses.

"Needed done 202020"
"I agree -TTGNameHere"

Replies like this, I'm not holdin back...I'll IP ban you on the spot.

I want this area to focus on a more mature discussion basis.

When the quality of threads becomes of a higher standard, people will be given the slack in here. When it's abused, we take the slack and hang you with it.

This website is not a small one and I do not want this community to be seen as a bunch of leechers, kids, and idiots.

So...that being said...let's discuss.

until you get rid of the 14 year old kids this site will stay the same!

I kinda agree. I think the site should be raised to 14.

Im Completely happy that you guys are taking care of these posts , and i have also noticed a couple of rants about it in the Rant Section , but anyway this was needed i was starting to get tired of people posting about things that already had their sections and they just posted it here in General Discussion because it didn't get attention.


Well done staff aa)

This is a great point,thanks

Finally staff are doing something about this. All people do is post pointless crap and then when it gets closed the say "OHOHO it's the General Discussion I can post whatever I want!!"

although these are good rules and need to be enforced, its obvious that some people will not read the announcement, forget about, or just not care. i think you should be a little more lenient with the warnings for those who may have not read the recent announcement and ban them after the 2nd offence.

And what really bugs me too, is that they use "well, this is the GENERAL DISCUSSION, we can post whatever we want" as an excuse to not go along the global rules.
General Discussion is meant for topics that don't have a specific spot to be posted.
Very well said Icy-Tank.

Exactly the reason I don't create topics.

I don't get screamed at for doing it.

I just realized that makes staff seem bad... that's not what I was going for -.-

this is very true i have been seeing posts on "how old are you" or "How tall are you" yeah im new. but im learning as im here and i know not to do that stuff like (-Sanyo) this is a great post and i hope this stops members from doing all of this stuff.

thank you Icy-Tank for posting this

I Understand how you must feel, Your just trying to keep the site you have worked so hard to maintain in a good overall state with a forum that functions correctly.
Lets get the facts, if we didnt have guys like Icy-Tank moderating properly, TTG really would cease to exist, in my opinion.
I also understand why people can get annoyed about topics being removed, they need to read the rules before they post, It really only takes 30 seconds to skim over for the topic they wish to post.
Point is, Admins and staff put hours and hours of work into here to keep it all running but all they get this hate for doing their job as a staff member, does not seem just to me.
Keep doing what you have to do Icy-Tank.
