The English Forum is dying ! Here are some of the reasons.

[cheap_plastic_flower 154]

Same question ... Why is the English Forum dying ??? Go back to the General Section and look at some of the topics. Read some of the responses in those topics. 90 percent of it is JUNK. It is a never ending stream of duplicates, stupid questions that could have been answered in the FAQ, Grave Diggers, ridiculous suggestions, people that think that their number of posts is actually important, blah, blah, blah. They are not humorous, They are not fun. The are not informative. They are simple "bandwidth pigs" that consume space and add NOTHING to the Forum. They force the user to use their time to scroll/pick thru the garbage in order to find a topic that might be enjoyable and worth the effort to read.

 

Here are some suggestions for the Mods and the Devs. Notice how I didn't put this post in the correct topic:

• No more MISTER NICE GUY. If it looks like JUNK; it is JUNK. Don't lock it. Delete it. Don't give a reason ... just DELETE IT.
  
• Limit the number of times a user ID can post within a certain length of time. 10 minutes works for me. It gives them time to actually read the topic.
  
• Set limits on creating topics based upon RANK. The game is divided by rank; why not the Forum ???
  
• PORNO PICTURES of any kind should be an immediate BAN for a LONG PERIOD. Don't give a reason. Delete the topic. Let them EMAIL the Help Desk.
  
• Blatant Profanity is NOT OK. Suggestive comments and "adult blue humor" is fine with me. Most people just don't get it anyway.
  
• STRICT RULES with anything relating to race, religion or country of national origin. If it doesn't feel right. Don't hesitate. Delete it.
  
• COMPLAINTS. Make a REALLY BIG TOPIC and let people complain. That includes me. If it is a complaint and it is out of topic. Delete it.
  
• Multiple accounts. Good luck !!! I have only ONE. This does not concern me.
  
• Make some suggestions yourself.

Unfortunatley, I witnessed the posts created by by some SCUMBAG yesterday concerning you. I got really MAD. I have not been mad in many years. I really wanted to physically hurt the person that created that garbage. You are an asset to this Forum and the "real users" are lucky to have you in charge of it. You do a wonderful job and provide hours of entertainment for users both old and new. Like the kids say, "Haters or gonna hate." In their case it is the only thing they will ever accomplish in life. I think my Arch Nemesis, Contaminated, is correct. The Forum is dying and it will eventually be dead if something is not done.

Did you waste your time creating all this junk?

[BUGATTI_PRO_LATVIA 1]

1.PORNO PICTURES of any kind should be an immediate BAN for a LONG PERIOD. Don't give a reason. Delete the topic. Let them EMAIL the Help Desk.

2.people that think that their number of posts is actually important, blah, blah, blah.

1.They will flood help, easier to write reason.

2. Agree!

[Lhamster 4,081]

For once, I actually agree with you.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

Cheap, that's your best topic so far, I agree with most of the things you said.

Same here B)

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Yes, I agree...

[SpreadLoveNotHate 374]

Thank you for pointing out the obvious! If most of the Tanki Admins were this smart, this would be the most played game in the world.

[GoldRock 6,165]

Agreed with all of the original post :)

[SuperNick95 5,312]

Respect... But I don't think we can delete topics as you would want.

The English forum is dying ? Sometimes I think there is more action here than in the game !

[r_THE_GREAT_WHITE1 6]

I agree with you here .

[Scribo 167]

I agree that a lot of the stuff posted is garbage, and 99.9% of the people can't spell worth a damn, let alone write a grammatically correct sentence, but it's easy for you to just come in here and start railing at everyone. If you want reform, I suggest leading by example. Post useful and edifying threads instead of just periodically yelling at people. I know you mean well, but a "better than thou" attitude is not going to result in people conforming to your wishes.

Also, I disagree strongly with your suggestion to delete any posts that exhibit a religious view. Where I come from, we have freedom of religion. I, for one, am a Christian, and will never hide that, especially not to satisfy some corporate entity's communistic ideals.

Actually, after noticing your comment, I am interested in what cheap_plastic_flower means by this:

 

• STRICT RULES with anything relating to race, religion or country of national origin. If it doesn't feel right. Don't hesitate. Delete it.
  

What do you mean by 'if it doesn't feel right'?. I personally think the forums are diversified by players from many different nationalities, and who are open about this...

Same here, luckily me dear friend FederalBureaFBI took care of that.. :D

The rest of your topic is true, completely true.

[tankcalm 324]

Agree with OP, too much useless topics.

Respect... But I don't think we can delete topics as you would want.

It's a shame, nick. Would be so nice open the forum and see just one page of real topics. In this case forum members should have more powers indeed.

[FederalBureauFBI 2,881]

In this case forum members should have more powers indeed.

Forum members to have powers? What do you mean?

[jokjinari 160]

Very good topic. I mostly agree. Mostly.

[MadDog21 230]

Good, analytical rant, CPF. I hope it gains some traction.

[ARENO-1998 549]

Same here B)

same here too ^_^

[Psycho 586]

Because you dung beetles don't act as you used to

 

 

You all gave a troll or whatever a hard time you all rarely comment on usefull threads which was the reason why the forum was alive

 

 

The people who do interesting topics are never online so who else is gonna do it?

CPF OMGOMGOMGMOMG im amazed at you i thought you quit?

[jokjinari 160]

Was I spamming in that topic or are you talking about something else?

[SilentShadow 104]

This is a very good topic, the moderation could take some of these suggestions into play.

 

With that in mind, then the forum would become a much better place for everyone(except for the trolls!)
