new experiment: every time a new user posts an angry comment about something (to anyone) as one of their first few posts, they go into the list.
kinda want to see how much more tolerable the forums would be to read (and how long/quickly will the list grow)
thought of the psychonauts 2 interview where Tim Schafer talks about cutting out people who put hate over curiosity when it comes to open channels of communication
Quotewhen I was a kid, I would have killed to have access to a game developer. I used to write magazines. “How do you get a job in gaming? How do you make video games?” And, of course, they wouldn’t respond. I never thought I would talk to — I mean, as an adult, I was excited when I got to meet Warren Robinett, who made Adventure. “Oh my God, you made my favorite game!” And nowadays, when you’re playing a game, you can just talk right at the person who made it. That’s not something people should take advantage of. There should be a value to that. If you use that opportunity to be insulting and rude, you should get blocked.

I notice that new users that suck dont last long here

that's true, although i'm also curious on the rate of user and comment dumping
if it's not as much as i think it is, then it's truly something that can be ignored (ha-ha), but if my list doubles within the year (that's a feat to say the least) that goes to show the kind of civility we kinda have online (and that's not even counting twitter)

Yeah Ive noted first time users come here with an attitude like we are supposed to help them, or if we dont help them like (or in the timeframe they want) they want then they get pretty shitty, but then they typically go away.
Its probably as often as you think it is, Im here daily and its about daily a new person opens an account and acts dumb, or someone with sub 100 posts arrives back on their account and acts dumb.
One of them today was basically backlashed by like 10 of us to the point that a mod closed the thread (cause it wasnt allowed anyways) and the admonished us for the way we handled it. I think some of us regulars do get tired of it!
