[QUOTE=wauterboi;48100428]While I'm not hateful of reddit, I don't like comparing what we have to reddit in the slightest. I think gold should be about harvesting a community of seasoned, well-known members - not about perks.[/QUOTE]
Like me
[QUOTE=Maximo13;48095111]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]
I'm still glad that you got me free gold!
why don't people shit post in places meant to shit post?
[QUOTE=Ithon;48101637]why don't people shit post in places meant to shit post?[/QUOTE]
Because that's the right thing to do.
[QUOTE=J!NX;48100629]make everyone a gold member[/QUOTE]
a red member
[QUOTE=verynicelady;48093662]
Supposing as Rusty suggests the GMF is deleted, would people who were formerly gold members feel aggrieved? Many of them paid for it, either in OG days or during boostar availability.

why would any of them give a shit any more
delete it
it will always turn into the same thing. just now with shitter posters. delete

Private forums always end up as an inclusive shitposting brigade, it'll be fine for a little while but it will all return to the beginning
Bout a year and a half ago I took a fair bit of stalking and harassment from some people in the GMF, including at least one moderator. As someone who's been on the receiving end of that sort of bullshit it's heartening to see that there's an effort to improve things.

I found the gmf problem. You
[QUOTE=Rusty100;48102374]it will always turn into the same thing. just now with shitter posters. delete[/QUOTE]
Because the last clique of posters in it wasn't shitty at all right?
And no, it won't turn into the same thing if from the outset, it's accounted for and planned against appropriately. Revision of gold related rules, better mod enforcement of said rules, treating it as a microcosm of Facepunch as a whole and (as what happens in the regular forums) drown out the shitposters by getting rid of the reputation, building a better attitude for it thus getting more members to post quality and decent posts to drown out the shitposters.
I don't really understand why it'd turn out the same way. The problem before seemed to be people were allowed to shit it up. But unless I'm not in on some joke, it seems like it would be properly moderated now avoiding that issue, and alot of the people doing that shitting up seem to be gone.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I could see it working out with proper rules having to be followed.
rusty's sour because he can't have it his way anymore

A lot of the problem is, throughout the GMF forum's history, is that it's just been "lets wing it" not on purpose, or intentional, but thats just how it ended up evolving, maybe its time to take a new course, close it down, stop, plan, design, work things out ahead of time, then restart it, with a new start and a new way of doing things.
The simple fact is, if something is broken, or not working correctly, and you build it from the ground up and account for the problems that caused it to break in the first place, you may not have a perfect thing, but it'll be a better iteration than before.

I'm guilty of trying to post in gmf more during the recent attempt to clean it up before this thread. Just lost the will to post after like a week or two again
I like the idea of a new start for the GMF; having some kind of gold competitions in and out of the GMF would be pretty cool too (like the out of GMF contests could have gold as a prize; in GMF gold competitions could have spinning avatars as the prize, or games. Or a new picture of postals ass)

Rusty is the saltiest sailor in the seven seas, you could give him solid gold bars for his birthday and he'd still get mad at you.
Glad you guys are cleaning up GMF. If somehow in the future I get gold I will at least be open to a cleaner GMF along with other new gold members and hopefully not experience what you guys had to deal with.
is this really an issue?

Ok then.
[QUOTE=Luxuria;48102710]is this really an issue?[/QUOTE]
If it were just a bunch of assholes being childish and jerking each other off in a private forum sure, but if they're being actively malicious to other posters outside of the GMF then something needs to be done.
Plus it's impolite to leave one forum to just sort of fester instead of properly moderating it.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;48097086]im going to be honest here, the whole typing without proper punctuation is not automatic, i actually have to try to type like a degenerate[/QUOTE]
The lowercase typing thing is a symptom not the cause. Enforcing correct grammar and spelling won't do anything to "clean up the GMF"
i do it everywhere
Rusty wants to delete the GMF because he and his buddies don't browse it anymore, not because he cares about a cycle or anything. I'm calling his bluff.

When I told this to Lord Nelson, he fell off his column laughing.
Just give it up, if you think this'll happen again once the rules are properly enforced you've got another thing coming.
