So, I was going to post most of the points I am going to post here were going to be posted on Chris' post about ZFGC's decline where he talked about incomplete fan-games (coming from someone who everytime he completed a 3D model started talking about making a new game...), spam and staff...
First of all, I ask you to think about deleting/locking this post after you have read it all.
Mainly (this is not an attack) if your username is Madilim Kagalakan, and you have only read 5 words and are about to delete this topic.
This is really something I think I need to say, and maybe something here will be helpful...
Second, even though Andrew said he would like to receive this kind of thing, but I would like this to be read by more members of my favorite forum.
. Fangames: I don't really feel like commenting this topic. I've barely contributed in this sector, and there are very few persons who have a position high enough to tell a thing about the fangames on ZFGC.
People do fangames when and how they want. They are doing that because they feel like doing it, not by any obligation.
Also, Zelda is different from Sonic and Mario, it's very different to complete a Sonic fan-game to complete a Zelda one.
. SPAM: Indeed, there is pretty much of it - and can be found pretty easily, and great part of it is intentional, and then, SPAMmers think they are the ones who are righteous, while not knowing the differences between an extremely serious person from a mature person.
I know of a cool joke about a SPAM board, but, as a non-spammer, I won't say everything that comes into my mind...
Oh and please, jokes involving pies, cakes, boobz roflololol are stupid, spammy, kiddy and extremely immature...
If you use the excuse that all you want is fun... Sorry, but I believe your concept of fun is appropriate for a kindergarten. My brother is 10, he's a little kid, he's still an immature person and watches Noddy, yet, if I tell him "pie, lol", he wouldn't go "roflololol".
. Staff: I really don't have as much complains about the staff. I like most of it, and they're a bunch of good guys and have been respectful towards me... However, I mustn't hide the fact that I have some complains about it...
1. The team: it is too big, yet they do is pretty much the same as a team of 5 moderators would do... I think there are pretty much persons there that shouldn't be there. I also have the slight idea (Slight, please note, also, I'm accusing no one) that the staff isn't well chosen, and in a biased way... Oh, I would also like to note that there is a member of the moderation team who has little more than 2 hours of forum activity... in a period of almost 13 months...
2. This is something horrible that I couldn't just let be (like there's much I can do other than this... "rant"), besides the actual ammount of SPAM there are lots of times that some moderators cooperate on the SPAM topics I think an immediate lock/delete would be the best thing...
I would also like to do something I have been wanting to do for some quite a time, and I think this topic is okay for it (if it isn't deleted in the meanwhile - to consider too, that some of the spam just gets: locked...). Continuing, I could do this privately, but I think it is preferable to do it publicly, which is to congratulate 4Sword as a mod, don't really feel like describing it, but I think he acts as a great moderator, usually does the best thing (even though people would call the whole team as nazis afterwhile). This doesn't means I don't like the other mods...
So, um, thanks for reading, in case this thread doesn't gets automatically deleted, I would like to know what you think about what I stated above, some ZFGC team's comments would also be good.
