not to bash gamefaqs but i feel that alot of gamefaqs users quite rude and they often go off topics. i think its because of low moderation there or something, and a lot of people there just post random things

what is your experience with them? i visit there sometimes for specific games, after finding that we share the games board w/ them......

Yeah, Cnet owns Gamespot and Gamefaqs so whatever you post here, you'll see on Gamefaqs as well and vice versa. I don't think it's an Gamefaq issue of being rude, I think it's just some (not all) users can be rude, and sometimes going off topic can happen at a random moment. I sometimes join an off topic discussion mostly because I cannot resist the urge to voice my opinion about a particular subject, I don't know why I cannot resist, it never seems to go anywhere, I guess I just feel better getting it out of my system. My experience with Gamefaqs is just the same as Gamespot, it's alright. (Gamespot might have better Aesthetics IMO) Well I'm sorry you came across some rude users, hopefully they don't ruin your day.

GameFAQs users act like they're 12 years old for the most part.

I've been once. Looking at my post count here on GS, me only visiting a forum once is a bad sign. :P

They are just people, I know some jerks and I know some really good guys. It's like anything else. Unfortunately we share a hobby that makes it easy to feel good about ourselves. As a result we have many people with very low self esteem interacting with us on a social site that provides discussion for our hobby. They feel the need to put people down to make themselves feel better about themselves. I don't think that they are all bad (mostly because I know some really good people from there) but certainly, like in all areas of life, they are not all socially adept either :p

On a side note I think it is important not to quickly group someone into a stereotype, such as "everyone who likes Fords are stupid". Just my thoughts.

Most of them are jackasses. Just go to the Pokemon Platinum board on GameFAQs.

BTW, how do you post here through GameFAQs?

I've heard several accounts of rudeness, but I use Gamefaqs just to read game walkthroughs. Four or five months ago, I posted a few times in individual game forums, but I've dropped out of that. Gamespot forums are better-quality forums.:)

Seems like some people don't know that if you post a new topic in Gamespot forums, they appear on Gamefaqs forums and vice versa.

I don't get it.

Would messages be moderated on either forum the same seeing how they are shared?
