Idiocy around GBAtemp and no actions taken against it

[VinvinMario]

Hello there!

A couple of days ago, I reported two posts:

http://gbatemp.net/threads/submit-your-ideas-for-gbatemp-contests-here.337277/#post-4449627

and,

http://gbatemp.net/threads/submit-your-ideas-for-gbatemp-contests-here.337277/#post-4449632

Instead of taking actions, a couple of staff members liked the post(s). Why I reported the posts? Do I have something personal against that person? No, I reported the posts because, I have observed it so many times. A nice thread is made which is relevant to my interests or where I might be able to find something worthy to read. However, when I enter that thread, I see nothing but "pure idiocy" in the first two to three posts and then the fate of that thread is decided accordingly.

Really? That is GOTC section and not the EoF area. Do you really want tempers to make porn videos of them and enter them into a competition here? I can understand that GBAtemp staff likes to keep the environment light everywhere and a little bit of fooling around is fine. But look at that, the same person goes on to post another stupid post suggesting a "creative racist insult" competition. I know the person is joking as well as you do but, is this what you expect us to read all over the forums?

I know, you wouldn't believe it so I wanted to prove it with an example:

http://gbatemp.net/threads/walmart-giving-wii-u-early.337495/

There, I completely distorted the meaning of that thread with my first post. The sad part is that a staff member unknowingly helped me in it. Now, someone wants a picture of Wii U with my mother in it.

And then, you guys tell us to report the post and not write anything in the thread to further fuel the arguements.

That is all...

What reality are you living in, then?

One where opening thread about religion (on a gaming forum) and starting the conversation by saying that religion makes you a retard is a good idea.

Fuck you Engert for derailing my hate thread! My ego was being massaged so well, I was about to climax

Oh noes! The insulting!

Fucks are being given. Time to bail.

See, i knew your guys were edgy.

But hey if i had a gaming forum i wouldn't want to attract KKK members but gamers. So now i understand to stay away from religion jokes.
Not for this forum.

I do like the swears though. You fucking assholes.

In fairness I started this thread just to make a joke about the intelligence (or lack of) of the GBAtemp userbase.

The KKK have a right to play video games too Engert. And that right should be defended. I say that as a black man.

People have different senses of humour. emigre's humour isn't for everyone that isn't mature enough to take it lightly, but let's be honest, he can be funny.

Besides, this thread is getting more idiotic as it goes on.

@Engert

The problem isn't that the forum doesn't have a sense of humor. It's not that you're too "edgy" for us to handle. The problem is that you touched the subject with the maturity of a 12 year old brat who just discovered Richard Dawkins.

Incidentally, Richard Dawkins seems to behave like a 12 year old brat.
