[QUOTE=Foreverwise;43362844]So is the rust company only looking for a small community?[/QUOTE]
We don't want people that are lazy dicks, if that means smaller community here on the forums then sure why not lol. It's not much we ask of people, just to be courteous and learn our rules so as to keep things neat and organized.
[QUOTE=postal;43362812]the link for it was literally right above the new thread button you clicked to make this lol. Look harder.
[B] Lurk more and learn how the forum operates and you won't have to worry about getting banned, but anyways the ban is the warning here.[/B]
those are people we really don't want here so we don't care.[/QUOTE]
People who have bought a game shouldn't have to spend a whole bunch of time lurking in the forums before making a support thread. That's not how customer service should ever work. As was stated above, when Facepunch gets a reputation for being an unfriendly and unhelpful place to post, it reflects badly on the product and the developers. It's important to remember that people don't have time to lurk in a forum and nor should they have to. Investing hours of your time before you're allowed a reasonable chance at getting help with something you've bought is a stupid prospect.
'Hur hur we don't want certain types of people here' probs isn't a good business strategy

Uh ok well good thing I made them a compilation of our rules in the rules sticky at the top of the forum then to save them the trouble
[QUOTE=Foreverwise;43362727]I am the majority you are the minority. With out people like me the company would not make enough money to operate.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, it's not like almost every person on steam owns Garry's Mod, another game by Facepunch Studios.
Rust must be the only subforum with people, those hundreds viewing every other section must be bots.
[QUOTE=ScottyWired;43362870]minority? ok i made a chart if it helps

This. And you say you visited the rest of the forums.
[QUOTE=Foreverwise;43362882]You could be right about I being the minority because I honestly didnt do any research. I just belong to a 1100 person clan and its the general tone I get from the clan and most the people I talk to. I just enjoy the game and want to see the company do well so I just wanted to see if I could help with some feed back. I just have never seen a game so filled with people that hate the company (facepunch). I just want to help.[/QUOTE]
Remember if you're going to be a smart ass make sure you're smart otherwise you're just an ass.
I didn't make this post to start making people mad so please don't any one take offense I just wanted to help and maybe make a difference because it is confusing for new people.
You know, companies don't always have to pander to the lowest common denominator. Not all companies are out to make as much cash as quickly as possible.
I think it's perfectly normal for some people to feel like they don't belong or don't want to be here... honestly I think it makes the whole experience better for those that DO feel like they belong.
I'm almost 40 years old. I used to connect to BBSs with my 300 baud modem and use forums before there was an internet, so believe me when I tell you I have used many many forums and in all honesty I have never seen more ban happy and rude mods in my life.

Thanks so much, we do try our hardest :)

Then spend a year and lurk. Then observe how much better the Facepunch community is than pretty much every single other one on the internet.
A 40 year old should be able to see that with any level of maturity you can avoid bans quite easily.
Alright I see I don't belong here. Thank you all for your time.

no.
[QUOTE=Foreverwise;43362976]Alright I see I don't belong here. Thank you all for your time.[/QUOTE]
you have made a good decision my friend
[QUOTE=lope;43362961]Then spend a year and lurk. Then observe how much better the Facepunch community is than pretty much every single other one on the internet.[/QUOTE]
it takes 8 years to master the art of posting good.
Also, keep in mind that some people that have joined the facepunch forums solely for rust don't know how community forums work, nor the proper etiquette. People like this need to have a warning issued to them, along with a reason, which I can see being done.
In reply to smkymtman, how many of those forums were forums like this forum is currently.
I remember when this forum only had 300 people max, now it currently has over 2200 people viewing it. Think of how many of those people lack the knowledge of forum etiquette, or what a forum is for. If we didn't have agressive moderation in the rust forum, it would be a shithole worthy to be called a fast threads
[QUOTE=Foreverwise;43362976]Alright I see I don't belong here. Thank you all for your time.[/QUOTE]
and the system works!
dude jesus christ don't lurk for a year, you'll waste a year of your life
[QUOTE=MickDick;43362832]Rust needs it's own subforums. Problem solved.[/QUOTE]
It will probably get more in due time.
How about we make only the rust forums visible, and the only way to get access to the rest of the forums is to press a hidden button that can only be found by [I]reading the rules.[/I]

People will just skip over the rules and hit agree
much like Apple's Terms of Service agreement
Exactly.

More? I do not see any at all, unless you count the separate server forum for rust.

You get used to it. Kind of.
Perhaps this isn't the best system, but it's the best I've seen. I hate going to websites filled with repeated threads and grade school grammar mistakes. Besides, it's not like the mods don't know they're assholes.
