Here's what pisses me off.
What's going on here is pretty shitty. Supramania is starting to hurt. It's got more and more people coming to it every day, but fewer and fewer of them know thier ass from a hole in the wall.
This is normally not a problem, because the knowlege level and expertise around here is very high. The old guys have always been able to educate the newer ones.
Except for the fact that these days, the oldschool guys are leaving, and they are not coming back.
When I/we talk to them, the universally point at shit like the crap you guys pulled in this thread:
http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32701
Not much to complain about there now as I deleted over NINTEY posts from that thread. (That's 20 minutes of my life I'm not geting back...) But simply put, they can't even meet a new member without you guys fucking it up.
Then there's shit like the suggestion box thread. (The one with the "Gay Meter"). Again, I've cleaned it up, deleting about 10 posts. But again, the attitude amongst the general users is "can't even make a suggestion without those idiots fucking it up."
And the 15 posts I deleted from this thread we're in right now not an hour ago...
Simply put, while you guys are adding 100 1 word replies to a thread, having a grand old time, the other members of the board are logging out in disgust. And PM'ing mods and admins asking us to clean up your mess. Or even worse just leaving SM and not returning.
Nobody wants to sift through 2 pages of your private jokes and name calling to find content. It's bad.
So bad in fact that right now in the staff forums there are threads with voting to decide if we are banning specific individuals from off-topic, or the entire forum.
We banned one member permanently yesterday. (He was just an ignorant bigot, we don't need him).
A few other people survived the last round with just being removed from off-topic. One person I gave back posting priveleges and I'm already regretting it.
I don't think you guys have any understanding of how bad things are getting around here. So I'll make it very clear:
1. Some of you are pissing the other members off to the point where they are leaving the community.
2. Some of you are making so much work for the staff, that they want you out of the community.
That's what pisses me off...
