I see a lot of people not liking the new TOU. Should it go back to how it used to be?

The Forums are horrendous now. They used to be the only good thing about Gamespot, now they are as bad as everything else. The majority of users here are not old enough, or mature enough to not have any boundaries. System Wars and Off-Topic are complete proof of such.

I found the creative, subtle brand of implicit trolling (that the previous TOU encouraged), to be more entertaining than what floats around now.

The old ToU needed to be relaxed a bit, but they've swung way too far in the opposite direction. It's like the GS mods and admins have no concept of middle ground.

Hell, yes. The new ToU is just a license to be a douche.

Before, a poster could disagree with you, and they'd be polite about it...

I find your argument to be groundless and lacking proof, sir. Please rethink your position and reply later.An Old ToU Post

Now, it's just insults thown out there because everyone else is doing it...

F*** you. A**hole. (D3nnyCrane) Did your mother belly-flop her way through the 3rd trimester? Brain-damaged mouth-breathing troglodyte.A New ToU Post

There's no civility. The hot-button topics devolve rapidly into troll-fests. Ideas are no longer considered and debated... they're rejected with venom and spite, and their proponents subjected to scorn and condescension.

Bring back the old ToU. Make this place different from the run-of-the-mill internet forum again.

No. There needs to be some balance where people can't openly troll threads and flame users, but still swear, etc.

I voted yes. What I mean by this is: keep the current rules on censor bypassing - they're fine - but cut down on the amount of flaming/trolling and messing about. We want some proper discussion in here - which has diminished greatly since the new ToU. So reverting to the old ToU isn't exactly what I want, but reforms are needed. Interesting to see the poll results... half and half as it stands.

No, but spammers could be a little more readily moderated.

In light of the ToU, I would like to request that the second option in the poll be changed to "sh!t no" Also, sh!t no.

:lol:

I second that emoticon. People weren't polite before, they were snarky and pretentious and flame-baiting was a sport. They're still snarky and pretentious, but now you can call them on it. Old ToU: the instigators get away scott free and the second guy takes the fall. New ToU: No falls and no getting away, unless you do something REALLY offensive you're just going to have to learn to live with each other, just like real life.

It went from one extreme where mods had to much power to the other where mods have very little power.

Would I like them to go back? Honestly yes.
