My single biggest issue with the official forums is the layout. Having separate threads for gear, rules, character critique, general SR discussion, setting history AND a GM's lounge is just too much. I don't even lurk over there, really.

I inhabit both the "official" forums as well as DS and enjoy both but i can also agree that the childishness and stupidity run rampant there
QUOTE (fistandantilus4.0 @ Apr 11 2011, 03:14 PM)  Yeah but that'd be a different forum. We're all out of Jello. Despite the rumors, there is, in fact, not enough room for it. *shrug* But we have plenty of PUDDING (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif) |

Thank you for NOT using a piece of crap software for these here holy boards that decides to autoban you on a whim with no way to contact anybody about it . .
Unlike the official board they started to try and get into competition with dumpshock . . |

We try to be objective about things. The active mods all came up from the membership, so we don't feel like we have any more "right" to Dumpshock than anyone else. We also don't feel its our job to censor people.
But somebody has to keep things civil at times, so we do what we can. |

Definitely agree. All of the current mods at some point got a random PM asking them some questions about issues they might have with dumpshock or things they might change, or thoughts on changes to current moderation, etc. Those pms were prompted by other mods going "Hey, we're short on people. Who's been a good, polite poster, posts regularly, goes with the ToS and seems to be known a bit around here?" Then we all compare notes on who we suggest, and shoot the a PM to talk about if they'd be interested. We've never brought on a person that asked if they could mod.
We're all pretty much just glad to be here and willing to help out. It's nice to have previous mods to talk to and take some advice from as well. For myself, I still gauge off of what guys like Neuron Basher and Adam had set up here in the first place. DS works because people are free to express as long as they aren't kicking sand in each others faces. We back that up by not deleting or editing what others say, even if they get Warnings of suspensions for it, as well as avoiding public Warnings. |
