[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48089129]here's a thought
the ones gmf has harassed is the ones who get mentioned in the ticker who you've antagonized the living fuck out of them and mocking the hell out of them
[B]
you also went off to gold slack just so you could get away with mocking other users[/B][/QUOTE]
?
not many of the regular posters in GMF are even in the slack. it's mostly the older gold members

another one for the bingo board
I am playing the drinking version of the bingo game and I'm already smashed and married several girls.
[QUOTE=OvB;48087376]Goldmembers were supposed to be examples of quality contributiors, but the whole system turned into a game of who could shitpost the loudest.[/QUOTE]
The gold member subforums were pretty high quality. I liked the one for projects people were working on. I wish that was back in some form, whether it was gold member exclusive or not.
[QUOTE=ejonkou;48089503]I'll suck dick for gold.[/QUOTE]
Who wouldn't 👌
[QUOTE=Blazyd;48089408]I support this movement. The old GMF was nice when you could just like call out dumb posts and laugh but it got out of hand when it turned into witchunts and bullying for basically anyone with a different opinion. I don't wanna see that happen again[/QUOTE]
I don't think #1 even allows calling out bad posts
[QUOTE=Blazyd;48089408]call out dumb posts and laugh[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Blazyd;48089408]turned into witchunts and bullying[/QUOTE]
Are these not the same thing? Honestly, if you want a want a nice forum, don't make it about talking shit about others.
Instead of everyone moaning and saying things like 'i dont go to gmf cause its shit', why not come and start contributing to discussions and making quality threads.
If it's always the same bunch of people posting in GMF, it's never gonna change.
[QUOTE=Talvy;48089712]Are these not the same thing?[/QUOTE]
No
It's one thing to laugh at a bad post and then move on, it's another to laugh at a bad post and then immediately go and be flippant to that person every time you reply to them from that point on.
Some people take it way too seriously and actually develop grudges over this shit.
[i]Imagine[/i] being like that
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;48089701]actually just close the old subforum down and open up a new one, and ban anyone who posts like an idiot.[/QUOTE]
what really constitutes posting "like an idiot"? most of the GMF seems to just be laid back posting in my eyes
Ban glod members
[QUOTE=.Lain;48087243]lmao

Well if anything this thread has given us this
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48089725]There's laughing at someone.
And then there's harassing someone because of it.
One is being a jerk. And then the other was being a massive asshole.
Also on top of that wasn't sexy posts meant to be posts with out names or the posts linked and just plain text?[/QUOTE]
It's extremely easy to go from laughing at someone in the safety of your clubhouse to stalking and harassing them
Waht if you remove gold and everyone was blue again then everyone can be a regular cool poster and u remove good forum coz it just pits ppl against each other in a race to the stupid
Is this why I keep seeing Ticker mentions of me with my username nowhere in the post from the GMF?
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;48089762]It's extremely easy to go from laughing at someone in the safety of your clubhouse to stalking and harassing them[/QUOTE]
Stalking??
I know what you did last summer sloppy joes
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;48089803]nope that's someone abusing [editline][/QUOTE]
Oh well shit that's actually pretty clever
[editline]it's annoying as shit[/editline]
hmm

And about inevitable to gain an attitude towards them.
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.
Wow, what a fucking prick. That just gets me mad.
I am upset by that
I really don't want to sound like I'm whining and I don't want to paint a picture of the whole gmf as that kind of user, but some of those people definitely exist and seem to get a free pass in the gmf.

i miss the old gmf
current gmf is filled with new golds who do pretty well in trying to fit in yet everyone still acts like it's a super secret club that won't let anyone in if they don't fit [I]the standards[/I]™
I would just say to leave it how it is, the people who use it daily must see benefit to it, plus if it keeps them in there and not shitting on other sections then why take it from them?
I guess they aren't hurting anyone, and the forum survives fine as is.
[QUOTE=angrykid8;48090015]plus if it keeps them in there and not shitting on other sections then why take it from them? [/QUOTE]
Because if they shit up other sections they'll get banned and that's a good thing?
[QUOTE=Keychain;48090040]Because if they shit up other sections they'll get banned and that's a good thing?[/QUOTE]
most GMF users would (and do) post just fine in other sections.
[QUOTE=Keychain;48090040]Because if they shit up other sections they'll get banned and that's a good thing?[/QUOTE]
But why would I want to post in a section that people are allowed to shit up?
[QUOTE=TheWhiteFox1;48090062]most GMF users would (and do) post just fine in other sections.[/QUOTE]
because the one's who couldn't behave in the main forum before got banned :)
