For the past couple of years, I've been here, I've been watching this place slowly die and 99% of the time I come here I don't even know why I do. Modsare onmy back since before Moses played halfback for Jerusalem, almost every topic I make gets spammed into oblivion and I've got two warnings just for defending my goods. The good old days before nazi-mods and 4channery are gone and I find myself sitting here asking myself, "Why don't I just give up on this place?".

I'd be lying if this forum hasn't been a big part of my life for the past couple of years, because literally everyday after school, I come here hoping for a laugh and a good time, but that doesn't happen anymore. There are barely ever any good threads, I can't make my own, I can't even joke around [a *little* good humoured insult from time to time] without getting threatened with a temp ban by a mod that hates me with a passion and loves to exhibit double standards.

You're probably thinking "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT LEAVE" and I'm whining and acting like the victim, but I bet a ton of you are thinking the same thing.

I like coming here, but why should I if I can't do anything? It's not like anyone takes me seriously anyway, so I should atleast be able to have *some* fun.

okay for real now.
I think that the community has really degraded. I used to get some good laughs here when I was bored. But now All I see are some iliterate people saying I'm polish so I don't have to speak english well.
So we don't have any freedom of speach. Carl's topic got locked. Buthow about the Blue ninja insult thread.
I know Chakra tried to prove a point but Carl just went the different way. I think nthat this place will be full of mods and n00bs in a year or so. I know that I won't be staying long if I cannot even play Soldat anymore.

First I joined because of the modifications. And there are plenty of em. And they are old. No one really makes any mods more. And why did all the good guys leave? Because these forums became Lounge oriented. I think that the high ranked nazi here should do something to divert the attention of the people from the longe and need help?report bugs! forums.

So let the spam continue

I feel the same way 100%

There is a cancer that is killing Soldatforums. 


-=Edit
Perhaps its time to follow suit as well Carl... Sometimes threads like yours give me hope but they never last

-=Edit2
I've been saying it for awhile now the old community is truly dead.  "It" being the slow death, really began to start around 1.2ish

Maybe I can get a warning to go beside all that stuff. lol

-=Edit
The old bashpit kind of acted as moderation for the rest of the forums.  If someone did something out of line in the other forums, they would get hate threads made about them, which often lead to a correction of their behavior.

That's because that thread would've been in the Bash Pit, not the Lounge.

Here's the problem everyone, and I'll lay it out nice and simple so you don't have to skirt around drinking the kool-aid with everyone else who's talking about fascist moderators: if the mods stay as moderate as they are, you whine about how strict we are and how we're ruining the fun of the forums.  The b*tch of it is that if you'd look around for a single second you'd realize that we aren't ruining fun by locking stupid threads -- you don't have to be stupid to be funny. 

Every person you hate on these forums and lambaste for being an idiot is the very embodiment of that moral, so get it in your heads that, perhaps, the forums have simply changed and you aren't entertaining enough by yourselves to make up for the loss of some of our more notable characters -- many of whom left because of the stupidity.

On the other hand, if we loosen up you suddenly realize that we were right all along and that idiots will take over the forums if we aren't vigilant -- so we become strict again.  Like everyone who initially complains about every new version of Soldat, you have short memories and call for us to loosen up again after we stop the idiots by locking, deleting, and warning our time away for you; then turn around and ask just the opposite.  It may not be the same groups of people complaining each time, but the point is that we can't possibly please everyone all the time.

There may be one solution -- though it's only a slight possibility -- a Bash Pit that may give stupidity a place to flourish and do what it does without bothering the rest of the forums much.  I, for one, support the idea of a temporary Bash Pit to test out, but most sensible people in the forums know what a headache it brings.

So here are a few things you could do to make what you have to say count: make up your mind about whether you want idiots on the forums or the occasional locked thread and deleted post, then stick to your guns and complain away (I can't say we'll agree with you, but at least you'll be taken seriously).  Once you're done with that, argue amongst yourselves whether you want a Bash Pit or not.  Don't look to the moderators like it's our place to coddle you -- we'll take what you have to say into consideration, think about it, and come to a reasonable decision about what to do.

But not until you at least come to some sort of consensus.

heres the thing: we all want to have a little fun here without being banned and mauled
either:
A) be 'lenient', stop the lounge nazi-ism and allow the occasional conflict without a warning-fest
B) make a bashpit and just someone who'll scan through it every now and then to make sure there's no porn links or pictures in there
hell i'd do it if it meant the bashpit would come back and its such a problem

Vijcht, the problem is there already are many idiots posting on these forums. Look at the new wave of the kiddies that don't read the rules. You know what I would do?
I'd make them read the rules first and then set up a small quiz that they should answer correctly. And it would be related to the rules... so they'd have to read em.

Hell, we don't want any idiots here but there are already a bunch of em. I know that you can't ban people for being iliterate but you could atleast try to somehow control them. Warn them that they'd have to improve on themselves. Many people see these iliterate guys post here and think "well stupidity is allowed here, let's put that to good use"

Vijchti is a great example of what is wrong with these forums, and that is, his attitude.

Ben, the problem with your argument, as strong as it is, is that you've missed out one vital point. The admins control the forum, not us. So when they don't want to create another bash pit, there's nothing you can do.
