Two things

[stev 1.1k]

Thing 1:

 

Since I've noticed a lot of people giving unnecessarily unconstructive comments in blank or content-free topics I figured I had to make this.

 

Case 1:

 

Case 2:

 

 

Just a reminder that comments like "this topic is pointless" or "moderator move the topic now" aren't really helpful and that the only thing they do is make the creator of said topic feel bad. In fact it's the complete opposite of what these forums were made for.

 

Thing 2:

 

The end of thing 1 brings me to thing 2. I feel like this shouldn't even need to be said, but please, please, please have some content and a way to showcase it before making a topic. No 'placeholder' or 'coming soon' topics. Making sure of this will prevent thing 1 from happening in the first place. There's no urgency in posting a topic because the forums aren't going anywhere.

 

Topic in a nutshell:

 

• Get your things (rigs, images, descriptions, etc.) created and sorted out before posting a topic, please.

 

• There's no need for a forum neighborhood watch. The moderators do their job in a timely fashion and requesting a moderator on the topic won't summon one out of the blue. Plus, they have a pretty keen sense of observation so noticing something blatantly obvious isn't really outside of their skill set. If you don't have anything to say about the content in the topic please refrain from posting.

I don't mean or want to be a hard-donkey but things like this have been an issue lately and I hate having to repeat it every time it comes up. 

 

thanks bye

Thing 1 case 2 actually has a purpose and is in no way mean.

 

the point of case 2 is to point out that the post has nothing to do with the topic 

 

also,

 

"The moderators do their job in a timely fashion and requesting a moderator on the topic won't summon one out of the blue."

Thing 1 is an annoyingly major issue. You rightly coined the term Forum Neighbourhood Watch, because that is what I see sometimes... Thank you.

I don't understand thing 1 case 1. Explain it please?

So just get Dr.Seuss to tell Thing 1 And Thing 2 to tell them to stop

I agree with both of these issues, especially issue one.

 

I used to be a staff member on a very, very large Minecraft server. On the forums there mini-modding (non-staff players telling other players what to do in a form of a staff member) was against the rules. Maybe the Mine-Imator forums could apply such a rule to stop this. It wouldn't be a bad idea. c:

 

Nice thread, man.

We haven't officially stated and I am unsure how other Mods proceed but I do tell people 'Mini-modding' to not and use the report feature. I think I'll try and get this pressed into the rules.

Hey! Isn't that my post?

 

Sorry about that though. I was actually being Mr. Correct that time.
