Better idea I think for Captcha: make a small post milestone, IE 50 posts to not need to post captchas anymore, but if you get dings on your forum health meter you have to post captchas again, increasing in frequency and annoyance factor exponentially. You'd start with basic two word captchas, at five hits you'd have to do an ad captcha, at seven hits you'd have to do a two word captcha and an interactive ad captcha. Being a dick would be its own punishment, you can have a controversial opinion and be civil about it, if you aren't that's your damned fault.
That'd be the same as suspending people with anime avatars just because I (hypothetically) don't like anime, judging people based on avatars is both stupid and petty. Now if a user is being annoying as shit about something I can understand that, but seriously, grow up a little man, let them have their fun.TriggerHappyAngel said:
Maybe it would be better if you had the option to block people avatar's, so to speak. Have a little X in the corner that when you press, you don't have to see their avatar anymore. I think suspending them is mean, they're just showing that they're fans of the show. [sub]Unless some just have avatars because they think it's a funny meme but don't give a shit about the show...[/sub]TriggerHappyAngel said:
OT: Agree with the captchas. Maybe have one when making a thread or your first post, but not randomly.
Also, I'd get the adverts in the videos and stick 'em to the side or something, it's really annoying when you HAVE to sit through a 30 second advert D:
I wouldn't mind seeing Total Biscuit here doing his "WTF is..." series. That'd be cool. I'd also like news threads to stop having misleading 'shock' titles such as the recent Rage article and country flags as badges so people know where you are from but not in a creepy way.
Nothing. I don't have any major problems with this site other than trivial inconveniences which I'm not petty enough to complain about when I can just suck up and deal with them.
-_- 'In Russia dragons fear you!' I don't think anyone who still finds that schtick funny has a right to complain about something being old and ubiquitously overused. Then again, as aforementioned I don't care, I don't want to stifle people's ability to post whatever they choose (provided it's not inflammatory).TriggerHappyAngel said:
Haha, that's alright; I wouldn't mind it either, truth be told, but I know fine rightly that's pretty inhuman!Lucyfer86 said:
Definitely, they'd be really interesting. I don't think I've seen many of them anyroad...

How about getting rid of people that use TF2 avatars too? I mean, fair is fair, if we're gonna hit one or two groups that have annoying people in the fanbases we should broaden it to all groups that have annoying fans.TriggerHappyAngel said:
EDIT: Not meaning to imply that you're annoying, just putting out that one bad section of a fanbase should not condemn the rest to the slings, flames and arrows that some of their compatriots gathered.
I couldn't agree with you more, Team Fortress 2 has one of the most annoying fanbases in the world.Fayathon said:
Anything? I'd get Extra Credits back and make it as if the whole situation was entirely resolved. I know this is damn near impossible, but man, I would make it so if I could.
Also, CAPTCHAs gone at somewhere between 250-500 posts, but reactivated if you get a hit on your health meter, somewhat like what Mr. Swirly Vort- I mean Fayathon suggested.
Oh yeah, and is it too much to ask to get rid of the stupid low content post rule? I got my only health meter ding as of now from that, and the post was on topic and a good length as well. I really don't understand why I got dinged, but seriously, almost no one likes the rule, AFAIK.

Well your account could get hacked and turned into a spambot; but I see your point.Lilani said:
OT: Less misleading and shock titles. A built in spell checker would help to deal with lazy/tired/no habla ingles (I think that's the correct spanish).
Oh and the whole all events only for USA sucks major asshat.
No, it's not quite cliched enough. It needs something, something else....TriggerHappyAngel said:
....there we go
.Personally I think the site is great but I think EC will be greatly missed.
I also really miss Doraleous and Associates I thought it was an amazing show with a real quirky sense of humour that made it such a great show, also I miss Neebs. So yeah its all good except for the lack of associates.
