#141496 A cool forum idea

Posted by AMAC on 01 December 2012 - 12:06 PM in Site News and Feedback

I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of the idea. I can see it encouraging users to spam and think users should get certain privileges based on something like post count. I also don't really see how it could make the forums any better. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm afraid I'm going to veto this one.

#83904 3DS getting it's own conference on 6/6!

Posted by AMAC on 04 June 2012 - 01:30 PM in General Gaming

Sounds like there's going to be a lot of announcements from Nintendo over the next two days then! I think there'll still be some 3DS news tomorrow, possibly a few new games announced, but it looks like the Wii U will be the subject for the majority of tomorrow's presentation (which was kind of expected already).

I'm interested in the term "active posts" do our posts stop adding to our post counts at some point over time or is it just a word added for no reason?

~~Do you have a list of moderators/special privileges users?~~ Nevermind, found them at the bottom of the index.
Is there a reason you have no moderators? You two admins must be very active to mod the whole forum yourselves.

Congrats to amac btw.

1) Active posts include every post you've made on the forum, including those in sections like the Forum Games section which don't actually count towards post count. That's the only difference between active posts and post count.

2) The reason there are no moderators at the moment is simply because I've only just stopped being a mod and I was the only one.

3) Thank you!

They might be very clever animals, but I don't believe they are as clever as people (well, they maybe cleverer than some of the really stupid people out there) and I don't consider them to be people.

I disagree. Voting is optional in the UK too and I don't think making it compulsory would solve any problems. A lot of people have no interest in politics and I don't see much point in those people voting.

Because there are so many clauses people don't notice. There was recently a bill somewhere that said tax money would go to libraries... if another sports stadium could be built. Sports Stadiums wreck the economic status of their surroundings and keep money rather than putting it back into the economy.
I would vote if they actually had our best interest in mind, not to trick us and make money.

I disagree about sports stadiums being built. Projects such as sports stadiums create a lot of jobs and local businesses such as shops and restaurants benefit from the the thousands of sports fans that come to the area for events. Anyway, I see your point about the number of bills that are passed with unmentioned clauses, although I agree with Nollog that most people tend to focus on the bad things regarding politics and often ignore the benefits of government spending.

I'm probably biased here, but I really like the look of the union flag (Great Britain). I also think that the flags of Brazil and Spain.

The problem with allowing such discussions though, is that it can easily lead to discussing piracy and other things which definitely are illegal as it's not entirely clear exactly what is and isn't legal. Because of that, it's easier to simply prohibit any discussion of grey-zone material.

As Feld0 said in the other thread, warnings are a private matter between staff and the concerned members. If there is a troll, there's a good chance you'll have noticed it already. The problem with revealing other members' warning points is that it can lead to members assuming someone is a troll when it could easily be for something they did months ago.

#101470 "F1 will not see a yearly release on Wii U" says Codemasters

Posted by AMAC on 23 August 2012 - 07:22 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm a bit disappointed about that, although if they release an F1 game on the Wii U every two years, I'd be able to cope. I also think it's a bit worrying for Nintendo that Codemasters, and possibly other developers, doubt their ability to sell the Wii U to hardcore gamers.
