The VERY FIRST thing you do when you wake up?

[QUOTE="821dan128"]

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"] I'm not necessarily referring specifically to you; I'm talking to all the people that say that Gamespot is too strict and whatnot. People get all up in arms about moderations and stuff, and they act like Gamespot is just being way too strict - but really, the rules aren't very hard to follow.jalexbrown

Well actually it shouldn't matter if they are under 13 years, as they probably lied by ticking the validity box saying there age is correct, so if they are younger it is there own fault (and bad parenting), just like how little kids get hold of GTA games and CoD. This site IS too strict.

Three words: Freedom of Speech. We shouldn't have to cater for underage children just because they lied about their age, that is their problem or be accused of trolling when we're expressing our opinions on a forum.. which is what forums are for aren't they? Nevermind it will change when i become a mod.

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"] It shouldn't be against the rules, should I say something like 'your argument is illogical'. If some douchebag says something stupid like the thing in my sig them I'm going to tell him the truth.gamebreakerz__

Kids shouldn't even be on the net in the first place, if they don't see it here they're exposed to p0#! sites or what not anyway. So GS fails.

Gamespot is ran by a large corporation - not some small group of random cyber-bullies that are trying to be mean to people. I am not shy about insisting that people that don't like the rules or how they're enforced should probably go elsewhere, because it's not going to change.jalexbrown

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"]Actually nothing at all would change if you became a mod, and you'll never be a mod if you expect to step in and change the rules. And the rules aren't designed to cater to anyone that might have lied about their age; they're designed for the community at large - which includes 13+ people that might be offended. Oh, and you can't just fall back on freedom of speech, because you agreed to the terms and conditions when you joined the site. When you agreed, you effectively forfeited your rights to total freedom of speech on Gamespot.gamebreakerz__

i usually go "oh.." or something like tht in my head while taking a dep breath..

[QUOTE="Islandbeats"][QUOTE="jalexbrown"] It's not just about a thread going off topic; it's about the direction in which a thread goes off topic. This thread contains absolutely no useful discussion anymore. This thread has no reason to keep going. For every post about what someone does in the morning, there are probably five or six about people complaining about the rules or how they're enforced. There is a thread to which you can go if you have a problem with the rules, and it's called Ask the Mods. That's where these issues should be taken - not into some random thread in OT.gamebreakerz__

This man speaks the truth!!!!!!!! Heed his words for they signal the coming of the MODS!!!!!Islandbeats

Usually attempt to catch a few more seconds of sleep, only to drift off for a further half an hour - which then leaves running late.

[QUOTE="jalexbrown"][QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"] Please tell me what is wrong with some people having a casual chat? Just because it is pointless doesn't mean a mod should come in and ruin it.

[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"][QUOTE="jalexbrown"] I'm not going to bother explaining why derailing a topic is bad for discussion, because I know one of the mods are around now - so this thread will be locked in no time at all anyways. If Travo wants to explain, I'll let him explain why threads shouldn't be derailed.jalexbrown

[QUOTE="gamebreakerz__"] OMG seriously, why do you care, if you don't want to participate in a derailed thread then go away but how is it harmfull?? What is the point of OT?? To have a fun and often pointless discussions with other people, not to stick strictly to the thread topic and stop any discussions that aren't perfectly on topic. Grow up.gamebreakerz__
