Well, do you think Fizzer checks every forum individually? I doubt it. So at the very least you clutter the board and cause him to miss threads he might otherwise read.

Sure, I can check each board individually, but then I guess I have to do 5 steps instead of 1.

I'm not saying OT should not exist, but why does it have to be a trash bin for everyone's random thoughts? Some people post just for the sake of posting it seems. All I am asking it to cut down on it.

Don't you think it is pretty sad that %75 of the threads on this site are OT (have nothing to do with Warlight)? It only increases over time as well. There have been people doing statistics on the ladders, and they have shown the quality of players on it is WAY down. I don't think it is a coincidence that so many people are on the site just to troll, talk OT, play lotto games to level up, etc...meanwhile the overall skill level of the community gets worse.

Like MOD said, I just don't understand why this is the place you guys decide to discuss these things. If I just look at the OT forums, I would consider at least half of that to be spam even for an OT board. I mean I get people want to debate the public school system, religion, maybe another game, illegal immigration, jokes, etc. But do we really need threads counting in german and spam like that? Honestly, how does anyone get value from that?

how about you guys (i think there aren't more than 10 really annoying ones) just make a real warlight game. I'll even Show you how that works. You can Chat there if you have no Skype and your mothers don't allow you to make Facebook. there you can do exactly the same things as on that Forum and whenever you feel like making a new thread, just create a new game and invite the same 10 People.

BTW, I just checked the All Forums from a year ago, and the OT threads were about 1/4 of the threads total. 2 years ago when OT started, it was half that.

So if this trend continues, the OT forums will double in threads every year (compared to all threads). So I am guessing by next year we'll have to scroll a few pages in before we get a non-OT thread.

Yeah, you could just make a chat game.

Another option is just make a mail thread and you can post like crazy in there.

Heck, you could even use a clan called "OT Posters Club" and you'd have a forum all to yourself. It could be your secret clubhouse where us stick in the muds can't tell you what not to post.

Chris, I thought you installed that userscript...
Also, everyone else should get it too:
https://www.warlight.net/Forum/84279-spammers-gone
You see each shit-thread once, one click and it's gone forever! Love it.

Here is what MoD ment:

Threads like:

-Compliment the player above you
-Heal/Hurt Players
-2014 Presidential Race
-Scientific Debate

Not threads like:

-I Support Rapists
-So the question is?
-Count in German
-WHY DO NIGGERS STINK?

Case ya didn't notice, I clearly know how to make a game. I've been in over 2000.

Widz, I had that installed, it slowed down general browsing.

Another issue is that it hid them, but it did not consolidate pages. So you'd see 2 topics on a page, and still have to scroll pages. That isn't much different then just ignoring the Off Topic threads manually.

A third issue is I have two PCs at home, one at work, and use my tablet and phone. So browsing in multiple locations requires installs of that stuff everywhere (if there are even those options on mobile)

So while the script is a nice step in the direction, it just masks the overall issue. It's like telling your neighbor to close his blinds (so he can't see it) when he asks you to clean up the junk in your yard.

Count in German is a great thread.

You act as if the mere existence of threads like this causes you traumatic mental pain.

I've been so severely shocked by the disturbing amount of idiocy on most of the threads in the OT sub-forum, that my therapist is now a rich man.

Out of all of the 1260 threads (51 pages) on the OT forum, let's suppose 2 threads are worth reading. From the newest OT threads, the only ones worth reviewing are "Illegal Immigration" (https://www.warlight.net/Forum/106695-illegal-immigration), and "Public Education" (https://www.warlight.net/Forum/106510-public-education). So, 2 out of 25. Page 2 has three threads worth viewing. Page 3 has only one. So, if we assume a total 2 threads out of every 25 are deemed "worthy of reviewing," the total # of threads worth reviewing vs. the total # of threads in the OT forum is 100/1261 (I've discounted page 51 from the # of threads worth reviewing as, though I find it stupidly amusing, it has no threads really worth mentioning).


Basically 8% of threads on the OT forum are worth reading. At least from a "rather mature" standpoint. I understand many of you still think degrading/insulting humor is funny. But that's what the OT forum is so filled with crap. Fizzer created this sub-forum for the purpose of looping all of the bottom-tier "General" threads into one category. And the pure absurdity of some of these threads (i.e. "I support Rapists/[insert any other provocative word here]," etc.) just makes the OT forum so stupid. I don't think you understand that. Some people who post on many OT threads have my respect. But the majority simply don't because they encourage and/or actively continue to spread this ridiculousness around.

I didn't think my country game was that terrible.

lol Loli.

Who cares? I can't believe people are again bitching about off-topic..

ChrisCMU + MoD seem to be the most hardcore haters..

I don't really care for other peoples opinion.. Thats just my personality.. But for god sake who gives a crap what they post and why should you care?

Why do I keep getting the feeling your trying to shape a perfect forums where only "Threads with value" are in place.

The most funniest thing and the thing that people have been missing out is.. The most majority are good people but the minority ruin the threads.. Due to lack of moderation.

Seiriously though guys.. Fuck off and leave the off-topic to it's meaning.. Cause it's a lack of moderation that keeps the off-topic like a toilet thanks to a lovely minority which we've gotten use to at this stage.

Am I right or wrong? I don't know and neither do I care.. But you guys are picking on the majority rather than the minority. Some threads made my the majority (I.E Lolicon Love and Cata Cauda) are simply Funny threads where I get the odd laugh. While the Minority (Tyrion) are just.. Well... Full on crap.

Get rid of Minority = Good forums..

Just reminding you, As I would know the off-topic possibly a bit more.. Tyrion made about 8 different threads about crap.

Homesexual was a troll... Who just made threads for the troll of it..

Between them I would reckon + Other trolls. I would say 80% are just threads with no purpose. .Of the last two weeks thanks to the spam these trolls make.

Important fact there...

^Did you bother to read my comments? I guess not because you just asked a question I have answered many times...WHY I CARE.

If you disagree with that reason, then say so. But please don't be ignorant and not even bother to read my comments before asking me.

i agree that it's a minority. i stated above that i think there are max. 10most probably even less guys here i would like to get rid of for the sake of a good, readworthy Forum.

I go over the Forum daily and never said anything but from time to time it's good to show some guys that they aren't as funny or welcome as they may think. So Tyrion and Company, use teamchat on games please.

Edit: Why the hell makes you think I was talking about you?

Sorry.. But I was stating my opinion.. Wasn't at all focused at any of you all. Just my overall opinion. Why the hell makes you think I was talking about you?

I will state it again..

Good moderation = Good Off-topic

Why? So It can actually take the unneeded threads made my these idiots e.g Tyrion and (insert other troll here) and ban these idiots.

-I Support Rapists
-So the question is?
-Count in German
-WHY DO NIGGERS STINK?

Okay WHY DO NIGGER STINK was a troll thread made by a hardcore troller, but the other threads mentioned are okay.

Now my #1 Question is..

Why the fuck is Tyrion still not banned? For the Unworthy shit which has caused this debate to happen..

We are arguing like Politicians when we should get together, Think Smart and Efficent and ban the players who deface the forums with their shit.

It's that Simple!!!

Or at the very least for everyones sanity in their heads..

Have forum limits (I.E 3 threads a day)

Not going much into detail with this cause well It won't be implemented but if it was the purpose would be to put some control of people posting on forums.. If it did get to that stage of useless threads..

I am pretty sure Fizzer has more important stuff to do than reforming the OT Forum...
