The Natural Selection board has turned into utter chaos. Everybody posts the same thing repeatedly, flames each other, doesn't proofread their posts, etc... I remember before NS was out and just after it did come out. The NS board was a respectable one with nice posters. I really enjoyed it. Now I come here and scowl at half of the post, snorting in disgust. I'd, personally, like to see a few new moderators to help. There just aren't enough moderators to keep the board clean and running smooth. These moderators could be chosen by existing moderators approving of the posts they make and putting it to a vote. If 90% of the current moderators vote yes, then that person is sent a PM that asks if they're interested in moderating the forum. This is just a suggestion, though. If this massive war keeps up, however, I'll be forced to leave ths NS boards. I'm sorry if this annoys anyone.

Finally, these boards have become what all message boards are ment to be.
The only thing that might work is if they become more heavy handed, but they get enough complaints about that as it is.
(This is a joke. Please don't cry.)
the ultimate would be each thread would need to be approved before appearing on the boards, and bad threads were deleted instead of locked.
But remember, the mods have lives too and cant just sit around all day surfin the forums.
The NS forums seem pretty well managed to me... they're a bit more "lenient" (i.e., friendler) when it comes to spam compared to some forums, but its not excactly the apocalypse- seems enough mod's about to me. Could be worse, they could ban bumping and similar like Sven Co-op did following their mid-release...
Seriously, it just means that there are more people coming to the boards. Mods are doing a great job as it is. Don't take to heart some of the flames you get. Don't worry about it at all. You don't know those people, and they're probably just doing it to test your reaction. Ignore them. They have no impact on your life whatsoever. I'm also pretty sure everybody can understand a post, even if it's a little hard to read with spelling errors and grammar mistakes. It's not a big deal, just takes a little work to read. People posting the same posts probably means they're new here and are just too lazy to check on other threads. It also means many more new players are playing the game. So it's all good.

It's "don't proof read their posts". <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Mods won't help that much, make a clear rules thingy somewhere, like a huge 600x50 button =]
Eeeeeeewwwwwww!
Uh anyway, they're here. Yeah and if you see someone flaming others or stuff like that then use the report post button.

Isn't that button just for highly offensive posts?
The "poopy-mouth filter" is there for the people who don't enjoy seeing dozens of swear words on their screen, and I've never once seen a mod lock a topic for an unfair reason.
Funny, I wonder if Scunthorpe comes out properly?
Edit : Yes, neat.
It helps as long as the mods are experienced enough heh
