They did. And they deleted all of them

And you were still here, for whatever reason. After one incident you started another, and I messaged Paperclip about it, since i didn't see anything being done about it other than your threads being deleted.

If a member knows the rules, the mods need to be a lot more harsh. I see members who have been here forever getting treated like they don't know the rules. Seriously, SOY has two accounts but he doesn't get an infraction? I got one. Although I'm not so sure multiple accounts deserve an infraction as long as no spam is involved. Which I did spam a little.

(I have nothing against you SOY I just need an example)

Hey, come on, I don't use them to spam or anything. I just like changing it up once in a while. And as people may notice, I only ever use one account at a time, and I try not to double vote in polls (unless I forget I've already voted and vote again with another account). I was thinking of switching to Leetness permanently, but no one liked that account, so I brought back SoY.

Besides, I hate to brag, but I do my best to contribute to this site. Example: this thread. I created it as a better means of communication between members and admins. Now the admins have shot down almost every one of your suggestions, but people don't need to start bitching about it. That's their choice, and what they say goes. And that's not a bad thing, either, whether you think it is or not. They're in charge for a reason: because they're better at this than you, me, or anyone else here would be.

ZuLu says he's going to start cracking the whip now. I couldn't agree more. As I've said, every single time I've been a mod before, I was the strictest in the roster. I say ZuLu's right in cracking down.

Also, mods have the ability to week-ban people now? See, I told you they have it too easy these days...

And I'm sorry I haven't updated this thread in a while. I went to Ozzfest. I'll get back to updating just as soon as you people get back to doing what it is you're supposed to be doing here: making suggestions.

Nice edit to the first post, man! Color-coded, excellent. Thanks for listening to my suggestion (even if you didn't see it).

I actually do have another one. It regards the Tutorials section. I think there should be some sort of a rating system put in so that crappy tutorials go away and great ones get sticky'd or get moved to the "Official" section. Also, many of them have broken links and missing pictures; they're in dire need of updating.

Not sure if your suggestion is possible, but I'll add it.

EDIT: Paperclip, I'd suggest just merging most of General into Off Topic.

Doesn't have to be a forum feature, exactly. Could be merely adding a poll to all the threads or something. Or maybe a special mod going through and checking them. Not sure.

I too have a suggestion.

I've noticed, that some forums have a legend on the bottom of the Index, explaining what the colors mean.
Example:

[Administrator] [Moderator] [VIP]

Because there are way too many topics stickied here in main. At least we could get rid of Colors and Meanings section. Nobody posts there anyway.

Yeah, that seems like it'd be a good idea. Not sure how much attention it would create, though

Ahaha, this thread makes me lol, it's painful how many suck-ups there are. I would also like to see this forum ban anyone who Doesn't animate or help out, thats the most idiotic idea Ive ever heard, its a forum, not a ****ing Nazi camp, and then to see people saying the idea is a good one, at least I speak my mind. You cant force people to help out, people will help out if thats what they want, banning non-helpers is idiotic beyond reason.

Well, at least it won't be another invisible topic in Main.

And Evolution, nobody forces people to help.
It doesn't really matter if you absolutely never post in General Help.
But posting in a General Help thread and mocking the person that needs help is annoying and considered as spam.

Well I don't animate either, but I'm not being an ass, complaining and bashing the new-comers.

After all, rules are rules. It doesn't really matter if you're not extra nice or always helping out. You don't have to. Just don't flame and spam (I'm not reffering to you, just speaking in general).

Sure you can't. That doesn't mean we can't ban people who actually try to make the forum worse off for some lulz.

Contributing doesn't really make you a good or bad member. It just shows how interested you are in animating and community growth.

I would like to see the forum without 2-D, or anyone else who flames noobs, somehow i don't think the forum will be any better, its a hell of alot worse than it was when deathwish and a ton of others flamed. By worse i mean 13 year old infested topics of noob-ness. Also, by trying to make the forum worse off for noobs, its making it better for people with a brain, when i fist joined, I was flamed constant, as a result I turned off alright. A forum with no flaming is a forum filled with noobs.

There's going to be flaming no matter what. This isn't communism we're talking about here.

Maggot is a good example. He was a leech. He didn't help anyone, constantly complained about the admins, spammed, flamed, and so on. Why wouldn't you want that type of person off the forum?

And you obviously weren't flamed by 2-d. He doesn't build character; he turns the whole community against you just so they have a chance to suck up to him.
