• declines in comment quality in toybox
    28 replies, posted
I’ve noticed that there is a disturbingly sharp decline in post quality when moving from FacePunch to garrysmod.org to toybox. I started this thread so we could share some of the mockeries of the English language and utter immaturity we have found across the toybox. (and because I was bored) Ill start "I thot ineded cors and I tryd to spawn it and I am lik omfg I like thes guy but he is anoying" [sp]-SEAGOAT[/sp] "Make red ball so hes angrey ragh rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rar raor!" [sp]-Nothing[/sp] just plain uninformed idiocy "That's because things that aren't a full mod (and not released by the mod-team) ARE ILLEGAL" [sp]-Daniel[/sp]
Bound to be the case. Seems the maturity cline follows the same rule. Its a direct result. Just one of those sad truths
Disgusting.
while I love the idea of toybox; I think it needs a bit of an overhaul, more widespread use and perhaps a rating system for downloads and comments
It was inevitable, the 12 year olds had to find out how to comment in toybox eventually
People are dumb, it's to be expected.
Can we add a thing that temporarily bans people who's last 4-5 posts contain more misspelled words than correctly spelled ones?

Is it just me or is twelve year olds allot stupider today? I can't remember me writing that bad when I was twelve, maybe when I was 9 or 10.

[QUOTE=amkoc;29751395]Can we add a thing that temporarily bans people who's last 4-5 posts contain more misspelled words than correctly spelled ones?[/QUOTE] ... how about we just stop being a bitch about capitalization. i have a habit of capitalizing every word i type.. i'm trying to stop this, as i don't like pissing off admins and moderators due to my lack of resistance of my habit. I hate dealing with little kids that don't act maturely. some of the people i play with either do the any of the following: -Minge -RDM -Break NLR (Roleplay Only) -Prop Block -Prop Kill -Prop Push -Glitch -Talk with their Squeaky-ass voice -Abuse Rights Among other things, or Behave.

Ah, here's me with my 15 year old self, all content with being a grammar nazi.

I've even heard "RDM!!11" non sarcastically on a Deathmatch server...
[QUOTE=Helpme1212;29802152] -RDM[/QUOTE] When somebody uses this phrase I immediately think of some fat 12 year old kid with a awesome smiley shirt crying and drooling at the same time in front of his computer desk. I've even heard it in fucking TTT, stop it.

This happens with evrything. What it needs is not only a comment system but a rating system that makes it difficult to rate 1/10 or 10/10. [QUOTE=CakeMaster7;29912691]In TTT it actually makes sense.

Vote kick them (+5 min. ban, 3/4s agreed) and the problem is solved. Of cource there are still a ton of servers that suck.
Reinstate smartness, but on toybox.
Guess it's time to install a facebook plugin. oh god I hope not
