I may like the rule changes but they might/have start attracting trolls into the forums...

I don't understand the changes. I haven't really read a clear explanation of them so it's proobably on me.

Changes a lot of things that needed to be done, but it feels like it doesn't know what it's trying to be yet.

Interesting; It's nice to not be coddled by silly rules but SW is getting a little out of hand. Need somebody to start cracking the whip a little and people will know where they stand.

As for those who just create level 1 accounts to troll because they can; there's a nice place in hell for them.

I'm curious after reading TCs post, does the new rule about censor bypassing also apply to the mention of 4 chan? One would assume yes but seeing as gamespot's rules haven't exactly strictly adhered to logic in the past I'm not quite sure.

It's nice that there's more leniency, but people are taking it too far. System Wars has exploded with people calling other users "dumbass" and flaming just because they can.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I don't see what the problem is with calling somebody a dumbass. It is not like somebody will get all butthurt because some random person on the internet they will never know just tried to insult them.... hopefully.

I think they'll loosen things up and make for some more variety in threads, it'll probably result in more overtly blunt trolling but sometimes that can be pretty entertaining

In theory I'm for them, but I haven't been around enough to see in them in practice yet (I have no idea if they have even been implemented fully yet).

Indifferent.

If I had to alter my posts too much to participate with the previous rules in place, then I wouldn't have done so.

As for the posts of others, it's not much of an issue in my eyes.

I already skip the vast majority of threads and posts in OT, and I don't see that changing.

Have noticed this lag of supposed change and actual change from various posts on this forum. which confuses me further.

Does seem that way. Also comes off as bitter and petty. Which is too bad because I otherwise enjoy the user's contributions.

Yeah thats true, I guess that topic which they talked about the new ToU and OT going crazy about it is what will happen when the ToU is active.
