So let me get this straight.

One person makes tens and tens of threads in General Discussion using the same formula, literally for 100s of days:

-A title which has nothing to do with the thread.

-The core of the thread is random gibberish which is usually personal attacks on someone, which violates T&C to begin with, random nonsense which never happened and copy pasted song lyrics.

-Some gibberish red text that suggests nonsensical general discussions to be had, only to keep the post afloat.

-2-3 pages of responses which are EXCLUSIVELY insults to the OP, and OP insulting them back or posting copy-pasted answers.

We are good so far, right?

Now, after this person spams for 100s of days the General Discussions with this same exact copy-pasted thread-creating formula, he gets a timeout, after his last copy-pasted thread was reported and it took you days to grave it.

Meanwhile, it took staff 30 minutes to edit A SINGLE OF MY RESPONSES, for a word which is not even offensive?

Well staff, I have only one word to say: **** you.

I'm done with the social aspect of this game and most importantly, I'm done with you. The complete lack of enforcing your T&C on any reasonably acceptable level, the complete lack of touch from Ched with the social reality of his game and the complete lack of action on moderating something which has required moderation for a long ass time seem like good enough reason to tell you to go **** yourselves. I don't care if Ched ties your hands, I don't care the why's and how's. It took you 30 minutes to edit one of my comments, so you clearly read the ****ing forums and have enough time to do your ****ing jobs. Which you clearly are not, for the last 500 days.

Enforce your ****ing T&Cs, instead of having people walk out of fed every ****ing day.

From now on, this game gets relegated to what it is without a social aspect: a glorified phone app.

And as much as I love this game, without the social aspect, I'm not really sure how long it will take before I get fed up with the rest of it.

Fow now, this is the last time I plunge my hands into this sea of diarrhea that is the forums of this game.

Staff enforce the rules. That is all.

All of those things you mentioned, although annoying and degrading to the forums are not officially against the rules until an official rule is implemented. There is no "I'll ban this guy as he's annoying" clause when it comes to staffing currently. There are rules and guidelines which staff follow, and they follow them exactly as stated.

When there is a dedicated community manager, they'll have the time to discuss such issues and handle things like that themselves (special cases) or implement the rules / guidelines necessary for staff to manage the instances.

Wait a minute arent you the guy Hildegarde who made fun of disabled people on the forums? 

Im so happy youre deciding to quit the forums though, TRT taking no losses we always win, never forget that.

I think the problem is the Torn community reading those threads and responding. There are nice general discussion topics, but it's often burried under a pile of the same garbage threads. There is 10-20 people always fighting on forum and maybe they should get their own forum section. Negative karma should be a thing and they dont have VIP forum, but they get PISS forum. Where they can argue all day.

Free speech, doesn't mean people have to listen to their garbage. Maybe something like other social media websites, many downvotes makes a comment tiny and you have to click to open it.

Actually Ched, it is against the rules, and common sense.

Ultimately its something you see as a value to the community which brings into focus the question, are you the best person to make such a decision?

Majority of Torn players dont care about boring threads that bring no drama. Drama threads is what makes this game good, like my crown thread i made which triggered a ton of people to get jealous. 

Negative karma idea wont work becayse i got over 100 karma why do you think that is? People like what i post and think its funny and entertaining.

Listen, we stay winning.

with all due respect, Ched doesn't appear to be aware of the garbage that the trolls have made of the Forums and the Chat boxes

they are ruining the game imo

poptop seems to be the only Staffer who is working at times

others seem to have the trolls backs..... these Staff should be fired imo

the new CM will not solve all of Torn's problems.... not without the support at the top and across the Staff

it's time Ched
