• Cleaning up the GMF

Half the people in this thread are a prime example of why we actually need to have better rules, in and out of the gold member forums.
[QUOTE=Zonesylvania;48087606]At present there's no means other than forum contests but it may be that autogold might come back at some point. The boostar shop seems to be gone for good far as I know.[/QUOTE] I got gold a few months ago and I still don't know why.
Yes please, come back to the GMF, it's safer here now, the bad people are gone. Pay no attention to postal in the corner over there.
It doesn't really help that you can't report posts in the GMF, no idea why that was even removed in the first place.
[QUOTE=isnipeu;48087853]It doesn't really help that you can't report posts in the GMF, no idea why that was even removed in the first place.[/QUOTE] Because you're not supposed to take anything in the GMF seriously. Yet here we are.
Yet here we are. God damnit my merge.
Reban ventilated gmf was much better with him gone
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48087868]so basically oify because thats exactly what gmf is oify[/QUOTE] except it really isn't tho because actual discussions can occur in the GMF?
I tried doing this years ago, and craptaskit permaed me for being anoying.
The problem I found with the GMF is that it felt a lot like SA. It's like facepunch's own version of rapture, honestly. A place far removed from the masses that was meant to be a little paradise, but the exclusivity and freedom drove everyone there batshit insane, and now anyone with a lick of sense avoids it like the plague. I Think something that might help the GMF get back on track is to actually give it a purpose or some sort of reason beyond being a secret clubhouse for us golds. Maybe competitions or gold-gaming. And there's always the whole gold commandments that are only really enforced outside of the GMF. I agree though, the whole place needs a hard reset.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48087868]so basically oify because thats exactly what gmf is oify[/QUOTE] no gmf is a haven for camaraderie and fun posting actions of ill intent such as reporting posts need not be placed between us
But I have seen the light since those years ago (thanks to music discussion) and found the joy of shit posting. Don't take anything seriously, be shitty
[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;48087884]except it really isn't tho because actual discussions can occur in the GMF?[/QUOTE] yeah then if someone who you happen to think is dumb shows up you hit em with goatse what a good forum to be in
blue uprising when? its time for the working class to take over
fyi i don't get it why you're afraid to post there when rules are being enforced to a 100%, grab your chance boys [QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48088028]or piccolo fucking goku covered in piss[/QUOTE] it's vegeta wow get your canon right
[QUOTE=redBadger;48087983]yeah then if someone who you happen to think is dumb shows up you hit em with goatse what a good forum to be in[/QUOTE] Goatse / Shockimages are now against rule #1, so...
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;48087601]The challenge is 2 fold, the first challenge is getting rid of the last vestiges of the shitposters, the second challenge (which this thread is in aid of) is trying to get the reputation of the GMF shed like a snake skin.[/QUOTE] I refuse to believe it until I can see it for myself :v: [QUOTE=Zonesylvania;48087606]At present there's no means other than forum contests but it may be that autogold might come back at some point. The boostar shop seems to be gone for good far as I know.[/QUOTE] Auto gold would end up with the same problem. Time/amount of posts don't really mean someone is a worthwhile member. A better system would be in combination with a post/date qualification, and would be a nomination/sponsor type system, where you give the various "sub communities" (automotive, photography, programming, music, game mode development, etc...) one candidate per multi-part thread (your v2, v3, etc. type threads that would otherwise be an active mega thread). They would also have the option of "no nomination". This way, the most active, helpful, and known members become gold, thus, elevating the standards. This gives gold a purpose and worth again. Hell, it might even get regular users to clean up their act for a nomination.

Since I've not been golded for any achievement I honestly can't make sense of the GMF. I don't really care though, maybe I should. Some of the threads are nice and people are helpful. While I don't have anything against what Zone is proposing I'm not sure what taking it back is supposed to be/mean.
Why are you posting about gold forum in a not gold only forum section btw
[QUOTE=AcidAmbience;48088155]Why are you posting about gold forum in a not gold only forum section btw[/QUOTE] Probably because a lot of golds avoid it like the plague because of how it ended up, and therefore wouldn't notice a thread in there.
[QUOTE=Fetret;48088136]While I don't have anything against what Zone is proposing I'm not sure what taking it back is supposed to be/mean.[/QUOTE] Way back garry golded half the forum, as you already know, and added gold commandments etc. OG GMF was killed right there. It was for all golds to share from there out, just didn't pan out that way.
[QUOTE=Extronic;48088159]why are you posting about gmf at all as a blue btw[/QUOTE] Dude, you're so funny wow ! [QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48088180]because any publicity is good publicity right?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48088168]Probably because a lot of golds avoid it like the plague because of how it ended up, and therefore wouldn't notice a thread in there.[/QUOTE] True.

A further incentive for trying to earn / wanting Gold Member status is definitely missing. I know that most users desire Gold for the avatar size or title, but exclusive opportunities like this are way more valuable. I would add that the GMF offer some Rust keys or other exclusive game development opportunities from Garry and the team or at least have some sort of seniority. As of now, the way I imagine GMF is that it has users greeting each other saying "Oh, you're a Gold Member too? That's cool. Now what..." followed by poor posting habits.
Legit question: Were all you entitled children who are against GMF been bullied at school?
There's a group of probably a dozen people that i can name that if they were to vanish, the forum as a whole and especially the GMF would be improved.
I was due to become a gold member a couple of weeks after the rules changed :/
[QUOTE=Richy19;48088278]I was due to become a gold member a couple of weeks after the rules changed :/[/QUOTE] Don't worry, brother. The Gold status does not change the integrity of your wonderful posts <3 Be free~
oh wow i am gold member
[QUOTE=Craptasket;48087308]Wanna play some bingo? [img]http://i.imgur.com/0aCg9yG.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I work for the UN so I known you are a racist sperglord pedo who ironically dresses in his sisters clothes. I bet you put salt in your coffee. We all know this is about steve jobs starting gamergate while yelling down from the heavens "lol you idiot, FP SUCKS". whilest 99% of the people yelled back 'no one cares'. We as the FP HIVEMIND started this bullshit. I've read about the MRA and I've met some indie devs so I know it all. So imagine a bear yelling dog fuckers. We'll all be surprised and blame SH. The OG golds would understand tho. I'm gonna leave the forum and sign back in later to post some more. [url=http://www.klaverjassendoorvriendschap.nl/images/bingo_1.jpg]Okay?[/url]
