re: Moderator's Corner

I didn't say 'don't take it personal'. I said 'don't get so personal'. 2 entirely different things.

I rarely posted in that thread anyway because I want to keep Uncharted 2 a surprise and spoiler free for myself. The absence of the Uncharted 2 thread won't really effect me but there was a healthy discussion going on in there and it feels a shame to let it go to waste. To me it's more about the principle of losing Gen Game threads rather then losing this particular thread.

re: Moderator's Corner

Exactly, there was healthy discussion going on in it. Discussion which was taking away from the Uncharted forum. Gen PS3 has a PPD of 74. Uncharted has 38. It needs the discussion more, so I asked Red9 to move it to do something about it. He moved it, it didn't belong in the forum IN ITSELF, so I closed it and made a thread talking about a topic from it ((I plan on doing this for at least 2 other topics within that thread)).

Give us back OUR thread Shane.
All in favour raise your hand.
lol, this is not a classroom OR a democracy. If it comes down to it, I'll talk with Red 9 about it over PM, but the way I see it, the thread was taking substantial discussion from a forum that's only getting on it's feet, which is obviously bad.

re: Moderator's Corner

It was still unnessasary to move it. The Uncharted 2 forum is hardly dying or in dire straits. 38PPD is very good for a game that hasn't even been released yet. In 7 days the game will be released and the forum will be buzzing. Removing a part of this forums history just to increase the PPD for a week is stupid and unnessasary.

WHAT DISCUSSION?! Everyone is talking about the damn beta, and it seems to me there's plenty of discussion. The game hasn't even been released yet, ffs. Shane, your decision was a poor judgement call based off nothing. Every time people click that thread which was more talking about uncharted 1 as of late, there is a forum link to the Uncharted 2 forum. There was absolutely no need for red to move it. The fact it's been on this forum since December 08 proves it was a piece of PS3 Gen forum history. It was well into it's age, and when the game comes out, it'll die out much like the other game threads on the forum.

I visit the forum for other reasons, but I do not give a crap about talking about the beta and there's plenty of threads about the beta as it is. It wasn't taking anything away from the forum. It hasn't even had time to build it self a nice community, the game hasn't even been released retail yet. 34PPD is actually outstanding for a game forum that isn't release yet.

Still it's not a bad judgement call by Shane. If these people want to continue talking about their new favourite overhyped game with their friends they can shuffle on down to the Uncharted 2 board. General Playstation 3 is for hardware news, firmware updates and for any questions people may have. It's not to talk about a game (beta or not) when it has it's own board, the thread was moved and for the better to be quite honest.

re: Moderator's Corner

That thread had nothing to do with the beta. It was talking about the photos, videos shown at VGA08 and the like. This forum has had many Game threads before, and it's a piece of PS3 general history whether you like it or not. If you want to close it down on this forum than great, if you really think it's taking away PPD which it's not. The people who want to post on the forum already are.

Don't forget, Uncharted 2 is coming out at a time people are at school, working more and too busy to post on Neoseeker. This weighs in heavily. The decision to move it was too quick with no thought into it.

re: Moderator's Corner

The move did not hurt this forum, and Shane and I have already discussed this. Once the game releases, people will be congregating in the Uncharted 2 dedicated forum anyways, and the General PS3 Forum gets such a high PPD that the thread move is mere pennies compared to the whole of things.

If the move is bothering you that much, by all means contact a super, or better yet, go to the Uncharted 2 forum. Either way, the decision was made, the thread was moved, and there's naught else to be done.

By all means question my judgement, I'm okay with that; shows forum integrity (to a degree). But I'm not just looking out for my own forum; I look out for other forums too.

Gah, now I'm in a bad mood...

re: Moderator's Corner

Go to the forum for what, exactly? You make it sound I go to the forum and post on that thread. I seriously have no idea where you're getting at.

You can't understand what he wants you to do in the Uncharted forum? Now I know you're just here to start arguments.

You know, I'm really sorry I've upset you guys, I really am. But at this point there's nothing else I can do about it.

re: Moderator's Corner

Is it possible to red make the infinity ward thread ZT rule or perhaps just tell some individuals to knock it off?

I came into the thread just to say I wouldn't play or buy MW2 for my own personal reasons and taste, yet Shadow Guard has trolled the thread causing more arguments cause he claims I hate MW2 and me being a Bad Company fanboy. how many times must I say Bad Company brought me back to the FPS genre and is a special game because of it? How many times must I point out MW just doesn't give me the same satisfaction as playing BC does and the serious business atmosphere just doesn't suit me that much?

re: Moderator's Corner

It's purely an opinion thing. If I start getting on peoples' cases about their opinions, it means I'd also have to get on peoples' about everything else. And once I start doing that, I'd have to demote myself, because that's being over-authoritative, and that's not what I do.

Just don't go in the thread if it bothers you. No point poking an open wound; you'll just infect the buggering thing.

If flaming starts and we get a post brawl, maybe I'll close it. For now, it's normal arguing, something which I see no real issue with.

re: Moderator's Corner

Imagine being the guest who started the "grenades" thread that got closed before anyone had a chance to answer his question. I know if I was him, I wouldn't be returning to Neoseeker again any time soon.

Sure the thread was in the wrong place, but who'd want to visit a site that closes your thread without really telling you why and doesn't particularly care about your problem? It's ridiculous.
