Seriously, this place is going to the dogs thanks to certain people.
Is that 'ignore poster' thingy going to arrive any time soon? If not, can I nominate some people for mandatory euthanasia? :-(
Save VG247! Please!

I'm with you, things have really taken a dive around here recently. I'm all for friendly banter and the occasional heated discussion but the comments section has turned into a bloody warzone.

It's been going downhill for aaaages now. Gone are the days of friendly rivalry, now it's all about referring to whichever console you don't own as a feaces bearing orifice or something.
Tbh, I have been rather guilty of fanning the flames, at least as far as BDH is concerned. In my defence, at least I still command an accurate use of the English language.

Have to agree unfortunately. Gone are the heady, care free days... :(
Some ppl who may or may not be phantoms returning are just being ridiculous.
Where's our big ignore button (pls)...?

Oh and in case nobody realised, RGW1982 is Thevilaires. Shatner has multiple new log-ins, but I haven't seen him post in a while. And BDH is, well, BDH.

Are you sure RGW is TEA? TEA didn't seem quite that bad.

Pretty darn sure, yeah.

The "no ban" policy just doesn't stand up to the reality of a more mainstream site. I really don't feel like posting any more.

I don't feel like postin', postin'
Even if I find nothing better to do
Don't feel like postin', postin'
Why'd you break it down when i'm not in the mood?

Cities come and cities go just like the old empires
When all you do is change your clothes and call that versatile
You've got so many colours make a blind man so confused
Then why can't I keep up when you're the only thing I lose?Posted 3 years ago # -
Yeah I do agree, something needs to be done. As the site has grown it's obvious (and necessary) that more and more people are going to sign up and post comments, but as Psychotext says, the 'no ban' policy just doesn't cut it for a site as popular as VG247. I've noticed less comments by some of the regulars, and it's to the detriment of the community which has been built up here.
Either a stricter moderation system needs to be put in place to weed out the disruptive element, or a comprehensive end-user moderation system needs to be built into the comments section. Just pinch the one Eurogamer use. :)

I agree, my posting has been next to nothing recently due in part to this very reason, I only really post the reviews I do and thats it atm.

at one point I also thought RGW is Tea's alt account made for shits and giggles. I'm not sure though.
Posted 3 years ago # -
It wouldn't surprise me. Posting times fit the US and the obsessive posts about the US being retards indicate overcompensation.
Posted 3 years ago # -
we should rig the next vg247 competition so RGW wins, and when he reveals his address to claim his price, we can all send him feces through the post \o/

I like your thinking :)

Nah it aint Tea folks.
Tea always stood his ground in any thread and would argue with you till the bitter end if need be.
I quite liked been involved in threads with him as he pulled no punches.
This guy aint any of those.Posted 3 years ago # -
On topic.
The site is evolving and that's just the way it is.
If somebody's pissing you off it means they won really so just ignore and answer the ones you can have a reasonable debate with.Posted 3 years ago # -
TEA's sock puppet, not TEA. There would obviously be a massive difference in style (you have to admit, there are quite a number of similarities, especially to early TEA).
With regard to ignoring people. You can't do that unless everyone does, and inevitably a troll will get someone to bite. This isn't even about differing opinions... it's about people who post only to attack others and fuck up any hope of meaningful discussion.

I don't remember Tea dissing GTA4. some of his other posts seem way off as well, edit: even for the lulz.

I read that as the Why Don't You theme tune for some reason mington?!?!?!

I don't get it. Why are people incapable of simply scrolling past text that they don't want to read?

Whoever this guy is, his act isn't that reliable. Look at all of his posts saying GoW sucks, and Dante's Inferno walks all over it... followed more recently by posts saying GoW will be the game of the year.

Because we're not talking about a post or two, we're talking about most of the posts in a number of stories. You'll excuse me if I actually liked VG247 for the fact that you could have an excellent discussion here, even if you didn't agree with what others were saying.
Now if any story involves the PS3 / 360 together, or the PC / Consoles you can throw any chance of discussion right out of the window.
Anyway, I'm not going to stress it, because the answer was already clear. The forums are still pretty good, though a little underused.

reask: It shouldn't be about winning and losing though, should it? That kind of point scoring ought to remain the preserve of N4G. Heaven forbid this site goes down that forsaken path. I know it sounds pathetic, but I really did like it when we all just got along.
What's happened to PUD, anyway?
