One-liners, I just ignore like ad banners, because it's easy. What is hard to do is to ignore 5-page long smilies or Blargh's flashing images as big as the whole screen.

And it's really not so bad as Megatron portrays it to be.

It's not absolutely terrible omg leave forum time. It's just a bit bad and a lot worse than what it used to be. Because nobody nipped it in the bud before it's just gotten worse. You have to draw the line somewhere so why not on ur face >:(

No matter the poll results, we'll get word filter and a words/post count.

You've just deliberately bypassed the word filter and in my previous posts in here you will learn that anyone who deliberately bypasses the filter gets to be an asshat for a month. Enjoy your new home.

I was thinking 100 words and a minimum 4 lines. That way DAC will become the intellectual playground everyone wants it to be. Single smiley posts will be gone. One liners with little content such as this comment will be a thing of the past. In the future DAC, only intelligent people willing to debate serious issues will be able to post here.

It is, after all, what the community wants. It's what you've all been crying out for. For a long time now, you've wanted moderation. You've wanted intelligent discussion. You're fed up with the silly racist comments and insults. You want change. You need change. It's time for that change.

So, DAC is one hundred steps and 4 miles closer to NMA. What was the point in me leaving NMA and coming to DAC anyway?!

Is it shock ? That the appeals have fallen upon ears that deign to listen ?

I cannot say with certainty. Though certainly, I find the whole issue rather hilarious. Like sitting down with soggy fish and chips to watch the Armageddon. :drunk:

What's an "intelligent discussion"? This is the internet, no intelligent discussions allowed.

Actually, the general opinion here is to get rid of spam, not to make DAC into an intellectual playground. The only threads that meet these requirements are the boring weapon threads and fan fiction. This option would cause the intellect, or what's left of it, flee the forum.

I'd suggest a stricter moderation in the more serious forums, such as In The News and Fallout 3, and let GD and other forums operate as they are. Severe and continuous idiotisms should be punished though.

I also suggest you change your avatar from Bismarck to Hitler.

That is so lame. DAC will just be another NMA.

4 lines is too much. One line should be plenty.


I hope your kidding about PiP being asshatted for a month? If you're not then I will bring you down.
