[QUOTE=teh pirate;48094987]if you knew what was going on in the gmf before you would not think this[/QUOTE] the thing i have against this mindset is that, like you just said, that's what it was like BEFORE. have there been any major issues in the past 3 - 4 months stemming from the GMF i'm unaware of because everybody's talking about the forum like it's still the way it was a year ago.

i think stripping gold should return as a punishment, there should be a general cleanup of gold membership, and a reinstatement of certain practical gold privileges beyond a bigger avatar stuff like VNL mentioned ^^^ jerk
[QUOTE=teh pirate;48095005]2) this thread exists to get the attention of golds who otherwise would never have looked in gmf again and invite them back to participate in it[/QUOTE] I checked out GMF out of curiosity and there's nothing there that I can't get better, with more people on other boards
A larger avatar should be a universal human right.
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;48095020]I checked out GMF out of curiosity and there's nothing there that I can't get better, with more people on other boards[/QUOTE] you are missing the point entirely the point of this thread is to get golds like you and I who otherwise wouldn't have paid attention to go and breathe life back into GMF and give it purpose like it used to have
[QUOTE=teh pirate;48095017]i think stripping gold should return as a punishment, there should be a general cleanup of gold membership, and a reinstatement of certain practical gold privileges beyond a bigger avatar stuff like VNL mentioned ^^^ jerk[/QUOTE] I'd be ok with this honestly. The privileges VNL mentioned actually sound useful tbh
Seriously though, with Gold upgrading gone and a distinct rejection of the concept of getting gold over time there's no justification for small blue avatars. Viva la avatar.
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;48095029]actually yeah this just dont let it be a vote/decision thing by other golds, at least until idiots are stripped from gold[/QUOTE] iirc there used to be a thread for golds to vote on other golds getting removed and it was a catastrophe, should probably be left to mods as it just encourages toxicity
[QUOTE=teh pirate;48095027]you are missing the point entirely the point of this thread is to get golds like you and I who otherwise wouldn't have paid attention to go and breathe life back into GMF and give it purpose like it used to have[/QUOTE] It's just Fast Threads 2 And I barely go to Fast Threads 1
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;48095057]It's just Fast Threads 2 And I barely go to Fast Threads 1[/QUOTE] it is now, it wasn't always and it won't always be in the future [QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48095055]wasn't this back in 2012 or somethin[/QUOTE] yeah i think it was around the time blues got to browse it
[QUOTE=RejectedPost;48095036]Seriously though, with Gold upgrading gone and a distinct rejection of the concept of getting gold over time there's no justification for small blue avatars. Viva la avatar.[/QUOTE] We demand more! Those damn golds and their big avatars! ( I don't mind my small avatar, I think hes kinda cute :> )
[QUOTE=LuaChobo;48095046]blue avatars were made smaller because people bitched about avatar sizes if you want it to get smaller again, keep posting stuff like that[/QUOTE] Yeah but you could just buy gold which ties back into my point of... Oh whatever. It's just an avatar. It'd be nice though.
So, just to ask, has garry made any mention about his thought on all this?
Weep as you look how large and animated I am [editline]1st July 2015[/editline] I don't get what this huge discussion is for people can choose to post in the GMF or not themselves it doesn't really matter?
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48095074]Weep as you look how large and animated I am[/QUOTE] every night I cry myself to sleep because my avatar is only 64x64
i would like to see respected user make a comeback and maybe a return of general community contests or something?? facepunch as a whole hasn't felt much like a community in a while and i don't know how to pin down what changed other than the size of the place like there are the subcommunities (automotive, firearms, etc.) but i think we should focus on cleaning up the whole forum and making it feel closer-knit somehow once GMF is sorted, something's been missing for a long time like we don't even have any general facepunch servers for popular games afaik
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48095074] I don't get what this huge discussion is for people can choose post in the GMF or not themselves it doesn't really matter?[/QUOTE] When people are actively bullying users and forming lynch mobs like they're morally crusading vigilantes things have gotten out of hand.
Maybe we can blame Rust
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48095096]Maybe we can blame Rust[/QUOTE] this never would have happened if Garry hadn't canceled Rust.
[QUOTE=RejectedPost;48095095]When people are actively bullying users and forming lynch mobs like they're morally crusading vigilantes things have gotten out of hand.[/QUOTE] So ban those people??? This isn't rocket science
snip fuckit irrelevant now
[QUOTE=RejectedPost;48095086]every night I cry myself to sleep because my avatar is only 64x64[/QUOTE] probably should complain about avatar sizes to robotboy instead of this thread.
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48095102]So ban those people??? This isn't rocket science[/QUOTE] Pretty sure a lot of the thread is people asking for that.
[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;48089894]Now that I remember, there are a handful of users there that really do perpetuate a hateful attitude. A long-ass time ago, I remember posting there and someone PMed me with a message that sounded encouraging saying something like "hey, you'll fit in soon! don't you worry, just tell me how you're feeling" or something to that effect. I remember my whole honest response being posted and mocked in the gmf after I replied back and feeling like an utter dumbass for thinking that someone wanted to help me be a better poster there. I don't have any specific usernames and I've deleted my PMs after that incident, but I can see how some people can really bring down the appeal of the gmf community.[/QUOTE] Oh man, I know that. I defended a user on a thread and Craptasket asked me for my user to gold me so I could see how they were making fun of me in the GMF. This was back in 2010. I gave him a friend's name in case he would ban me for it (and I had a month until I got gold naturally), because at the time he was one of those people bullying. I'm really glad to see that it's not the case anymore, and I have to say it's really good to see that he himself wants to improve the state of the GMF.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;48094695]so what's the plan actually[/QUOTE] All there is to be done is people to come in, so all this is basically an invitation with mods supporting to take better care of GMF. The worst to happen to it is gone. To be honest won't probably see real changes until months if not years, but definitely isn't going to head back to shit land on our watch now. Things are still be delegated high up, but you got a be a fool to not want positive changes on mod team.
[QUOTE=Sonador;48095104]snip fuckit irrelevant now[/QUOTE] lol revenge rating
It's really nice to see mods actually care.
