View Full Version : the mods need to be way more strict here.

Ebuam's forums have the potential to be really good forums. I barely ever come on here any more because I find myself reading ignorant, racist, and otherwise meaningless posts by noobs and sometimes older members. It's just not worth the time any more.
The mods ought to start banning people who immediately prove themselves to be hopeless noobs making the kinds of less-than-worthless posts I described above. It would make this a much more enjoyable forum, but I suppose since the influx of noobs is so great and unrelenting, it would be difficult.

I agree that the noob's posting stupid home videos of them and their stupid friends doing someting that isn't worth the time to video tape. But when it comes to the ignorant and racist comments, I think they spark great debate.
I'm happy finally come across a forum where I can where you can actually speak you mind. I believe this forum should remain the way it is. Obviously such questionable illegal content is banned from this site such as porn and blood/gore, illegal sharing of music/movies, and very well should be, but people speaking their minds should not be banned as long as their posts don't break any laws.
I guess what I'm saying is, if you don't like the forum the way it is, go find one where they have all these restrictions you are looking for. At least there, you might be able to sleep better at night! :D

I do what I can to get rid of retards, but it's a daunting task. Hopefully when we add more mods the bases will be more easily covered.

The comments these people make and the people themselves are so stupid that arguing with them is almost entirely useless. Half the time (probably much more) they just say stupid things, often promoting the genocide of an entire group of people, to sound tough. It detracts enormously from the forums.I do what I can to get rid of retards, but it's a daunting task.

Thanks :)
We're trying to crack down on racists, especially in the video forum. I don't mind someone stating their opinion, but spewing ignorant filth and presenting it as fact will not be tolerated.

You mustant forget that those who say those things say them because they aren't tough, get picked on, and aren't loved, so they come onto the internet and make a fake personalilty were they aren't so much of losers.

I agree with what you've said - but not all the noobs have the same mentality and opinions. I'm still new to here, but I have never made any racist remarks or done anything of what you mentioned.
I have only ever used the chat facility once and all I got was some idiot calling everyone and being downright rude and abusive. There will always be people who post crap on forums to get everyone fired up, but we're not all like that.
I like in here just to read people posts and see whats going on - but I feel intimidated by a lot of people because I;m a 'noob' and people will no doubt give me a hard time for saying something sensible. Of course, this doesnt appy to everyone - some replies have been good.
People have a right to voice their opinions - but they should also respect other peoples views without being so awful.

Genmay is full of 12 year olds, they think everything is gay.
If you want stricter mods, I'll apply to be a mod in times of crisis. My banning of the knuckledraggers in the Cars forum will make hurricane Katrina look like a blowjob from a hooker during Mardi Gras.

Honestly, I'm a "noob" on these forums (if that's what you want to call it), and I never got any disrespect. You know why? The respect for a member is not based on the amount of time he's been around, but rather on the quality of his posts...The only reason I did register to the forums is because I kept checking here to see people's opinions on the media and I was so surprised at the degree of ignorance and/or racism, or stupidity that lies in many members' posts, whether they are "noobs" or not.
My personal opinion is that those who post nonsense containing the "n word" and other blatant racist/homophobic/or segregational in any way stupidities should be banned, either temporarily or for good... because their opinions have no sign of intelligence (and though should be what every forum is based on).
And big ups to the mods who are working on that. :)

I find the political incorrectness here is a refreshing break from all the uptight, high and mighty bollocks. It doesn't bother me, because nothing that is expressed here is actually of any consequence. A lot of it is also just sarcasm or irony.
Ebaums is fucking great.

Well I repect all the mods that are doing their work. But I tend not to get so mad when some one makes a dumb comment or just plain spams, I just click their name and add them to my Ignore list..ive most likely have added about 30 of them
There is the report post button, it makes our lives much easier and lets us get to the crap instantly, without having to wade through all of the new posts first.
You all have to appreciate that we delete posts and threads more often than close them, there is a LOT of deleted stuff you people cannot see and it's all done so you can have a better time here.

I 100% agree. I know all these things aren't helping society become a better and safer place to live, well boo hoo who gives a fuck. For shit's sake, there are like a BILLION forums on the internet with so many restrictions and shit it's not even funny, especially one's like IMDB boards.
So just kick up your feet and relax, and say FUCK YOU.
Let me guess, I'm ignorant right? Well FUCK YOU. Stop being such a pussy. Fuck sakes.
