I've seen it. Might have even typed it myself a few times, though others were more likely to use the term.
I have screen shots of one of the mods personally PMing me calling me retarded, or used as an adjective to describe an action I did. What do you think of it?

And kiss all that lucritave targeted advertising goodbye, hell no.

Once you go legit, you don't go back.

Like it or not, but Temp has become mainstream, fortune five hundred companies and crown corps advertise on this site.

This ain't your grandpas temp no more. I'm surpised CBS Ent Group hasn't try to buy this place out.

Well there was that failed CNET takeover a few years back ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/gbatemp-net-acquired-by-cnet-networks.80594/ ).

@Vulpes Abnocto For me, you can start with ban hammer already :yay:
We absolutely need it...
Right now, the most irritating thing that's in the forums, is all the a9lh vs. Homemenuhax; example: Some users come back from being months without log, they had a problem with the homemenuhax that is not working, they just want to fix it and continue his life (they say it), and there's a LOT of members than, instead of helping him out, they start like a sect imposing his will to them, and the users end overwhelmed by that amount of information...
As you could see, in my signature, i have a9lh, but i don't tell everyone what must do, there's a difference between imposing and suggesting, and some members fail to understand that.

Sorry for the amount of reading, but i had to say it.

Well, sure, sometimes people can be rather rude, but come on. Almost every day I see a thread in the Recent Content list with a title like "New to the scene" or "Haven't been keeping up to date with the scene" asking "I have X. What can I do?" All those threads are completely unnecessary, and a simple viewing of the FAQs and/or searching this site would bring them up to date rather quickly.

I'm totally agreed with it, but you cannot end that, even if you tried, i've been moderator of forums, and that's a battle you cannot win.
You can, instead, point him to right directions and suggest him what can do, but is his final decision what to choose, if you give them something to learn better than "a9lh master race!!!, you're a poor menuhax peasant, hahahaha"; things can go better.
This users that come new and seem to do what they want, point him in the right direction, and they could end being useful to everyone, or that's what i think, OFC :)

Hi Vulpes, good to see you back. It's cool to have a well known name return.

As for what you're desciribing, I agree on the point that the forum posts have made a turn for the worst. (Which is why I left a few years ago). Quality content has been scarce as of late (I've done my fair share of looking through older forum posts, they aren't pretty at all).

So while I do agree with points stated, I also start to think in terms of solutions. What would, to you, be the most effective solution? If we're going up in things like removing posts, or bringing down the banhammer, perhaps it's time to look for a few more staff members? Perhaps it's a good thing to have the current mods/staff members talk about this.

*sigh* :glare:
I "like" how people like to troll by creating these useless accounts... It shows "how today's "sociality" consists out of degenerated fb/insta youngsers" :sleep: And this time I'm not exaggerating.

It's hard to say whether this is a bot or a genuine human idiot. We'd have to subject it to the Voight-Kampff test.

"You’'re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’'s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can'’t, not without your help. But you’'re not helping. Why is that?"

Dunno, but it's at least the fourth wave of spam today. :/

One would assume a person, given how they went straight for p1ngpong's profile, and how there is no real point to what's being posted, unlike those scammer links. But that's just my opinion. At what point does this kinda talk become off-topic anyway? :P
