[QUOTE=Loadingue;42540742]Interesting, but there are plenty of ways to treat the forum like a chatroom, and I've seen lots of them. Short reaction posts, lack of punctuation, etc. Why is "inb4" considered bannable on first sight, when it's just a sentence shortcut?[/QUOTE]
Moderators hate memes.
[QUOTE=Novangel;42540787]Moderators hate memes.[/QUOTE]
Which is a good thing.

Let's hope they start banning for retarded stuff like "rip in peace" too.
[QUOTE=Loadingue;42540703]If there's one thing I could hate with Facepunch, it's when people get banned for saying "inb4". If you are unfortunate enough to say that at some point or another, not only you get a shitload of boxes, but you also get banned. Why...? Don't I get banned if I say "In before" or "Said this before" or something similar? It's the same thing. I know you guys hate memes, but it's not even a meme; or if it is, smileys are too.[/QUOTE]

inb4 used to be a 4chan meme, and it used to be a lot more annoying back when it was more popular

Oh, that explains it then. Thanks for the information.
It's like the retirement home of forums. Everyone who visits gets really depressed and never wants to go back.
I like to sit in front of the window in my favorite rocking chair and watch the bandwagons go by while hating everyone with a different opinion.
In my opinion, this site left a bad first impression on me. With about 5 people with the "BAN" avatar in every thread, I began to think that everybody here was bad. Of course though, once I made my account and started posting, everything didn't seem as bad.
But it is losing it's credibility.
If you come to Facepunch to have serious and mature debates and discussions in a professional manner, you aren't going to enjoy your stay.
If you come to Facepunch to fuck around or troll while not caring about the quality of your posts, you aren't going to enjoy your stay.
If you come to Facepunch to have casual discussions with people who enjoy cracking jokes and sharing their interests, you'll fit right in.
[editline]16th October 2013[/editline]
Oh and... the majority of Facepunch staff and users are geeks, and the majority of our sections are geek interests.
So naturally if you are not a geek, if you do not like geeks, or you do not have any geek interests... you're going to have a harder time fitting in.
But nobody forgets the generic ass in every forum
I started off only posting in the Gmod forums, but I've come to really like browsing Facepunch, honestly.
As long as you aren't making threads that could be answered with a google search, you generally have a decent time.
Rust and the "That Cat" thing with the beta keys ruined some of Facepunch for everyone.
They hate facepunch because we lack signatures. To which I say, bring on the hate.
Honestly most of the forums and people here suck. But the decent forums and people are rad.
Its all about knowing where to look. There's a lot of dicks, but a lot of good people here too.
[QUOTE=LittleBabyman;42541386]Rust and the "That Cat" thing with the beta keys ruined some of Facepunch for everyone.[/QUOTE]
That was contained to lmao pics though?
Most of the forum should not have been affected.
[editline]16th October 2013[/editline]
Oh but the ones who hate us are morons who got banned for being morons. We might not have the highest standards on the web but we dont take kindly to shitposting.
all I've heard from people that don't like it is "those people are arseholes".
We can all be a little mean, but it weeds the shits away from the not so shits.
Also, SH.
mods are jerks
oh god shouldn't have written that PLEASE DONT KILL ME--
[B]Mods are love. Mods are life. Long live Starpluck.[/B]
We hate the "XD" smileys. Thats all.

Only for new people no one wanted here anyway.
I've been on Facepunch for so long now I don't even know what to think anymore.
Just go with the flow I guess
It's the only internet community where I lurk and (seldom) post every hour whenever I can. This is the only community that I have stayed with since I discovered it, for the longest time. I am content with the stuff I find there, usualy being late. It has its own charm to it by being simple, clean, and correct. Sure, everyone has different views about everything, so you can't just apply to the entire Facepunch that they all are assholes. First experience makes a whole lot of difference. Classmates who saw me browsing LMAO pics in the early days said that people here are sick fucks, and funny too. Other classmates who saw me browsing Creationism Corner that people here are very artistic, have talent and are very polite. I can't hate Facepunch, can't hate the comnunity as a whole.
There's alot of assholes in a certain section *cough SH *cough* but every other section seems fine.
[QUOTE=FlandersNed;42539352]I had never heard of any Facepunch hate before coming here.[/QUOTE]
Well there ya go
Because garry won't give people free rust keys
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;42542952]I've been on Facepunch for so long now I don't even know what to think anymore.

Overall, avoid SH type "discussions"(they are mostly dick waving contests anyway) and enjoy what others do. It's fine if you get involved but don't overdo it and fuck up, you'll drown in dumb ratings faster than Sonic went downhill.
[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;42541634]Facepunch seems to have a (slightly)higher standard than most other message boards. No retarded posts, memes, ect. Most people are used to the lower-standard chatroom-style forums.[/QUOTE]
The facepunch standards really seem to boil down to "Dont be a dipshit"
and I love it for that.
The rating system encourages passive aggressive responses and passive aggressive assholes.
The forum is the home of shit like
[QUOTE]No, just no[/QUOTE]
The kind of shit that pisses everyone off. More often than not the forum is just infuriating to read.

It's not so much "high" standards as simply it [I]has[/I] standards, and that's good enough for me. And it's about the only forum I've been to where (nearly) every post starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark.
The only hate I've ever seen for FP has come from people that got banned for creating a new thread in the wrong section asking a LMGTF question.
[QUOTE=LVL FACTORY;42540130]elitism
and god forbid you mention you isn't atheist, you get destroyed[/QUOTE]
I've stated that I'm not atheist and it usually ends up the other way around because I try to have more on someone than their religion before being a cunt.
This forum isn't a community for me. It's like passively watching a bunch of morons argue over random stuff. I think people don't like it because there's a learning curve for knowing what to post and what not to post and also tons of elitism with post dates, post counts, gold/non-gold, reputation, etc.
The only thing I hate about Facepunch is Rust. It's not so bad now you can buy keys but god that place was a shithole. People begging for keys every 10 minutes.
[editline]17th October 2013[/editline]
And people messaging you to sell you a key even if you don't want one

it's hard to get mad at the mods for banning for stuff like "inb4" and image macros
they're just trying to do their jobs and keep the forums an acceptable quality
