ok, here's what I've noticed:

Search function is inaccurate or worse, influenced by money. I searched for "transformers" and get the first 3 results as the various platforms' versions of Resident Evil 5 because it has the word "transforming" in the synopsis. The actual Transformers games start after that. Either something's broken or Capcom pays you more than Activision.

The forums are unmoderated or badly moderated. Duplicate topics and trolls abound.

The forums don't work right. Posting is sometimes a chore. Choosing "Quick Quote" can take a whole lot longer than simply making a blank reply, as it usually gives an error telling me "my HTML" is formatted wrong. I'm not putting in any HTML so it's obviously something on the forum's side, which is really unprofessional and even more irritating. Also, pressing "Enter" doesn't always equate to moving on to the next line somehow. Again, highly unprofessional, in fact, it's almost unthinkable and not something I've come across on even the most basic of forums, let alone on a technology themed site.

The firstand third complaints belong here: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_topics.php?board_id=314159278&tag=support-forums%3Btitle%3B1

However, your second complaint about the moderations is not up to the moderation team, but up to you. If you see somone trollong or breaking the TOU in any way, your job is to report those posts using the reporting system already in place. Also, these Moderators are volunteers who take their time to do such things. Their job is to uphoid the TOU and take care of any users who make mistakes. Its not the fault of the Mods, its yout fault for not reporting such violations. If you see something, report it using the reporting system.
