READ THIS

I doubt this would last even a second.

Can't you feel the love tonight?

This is my mfgg face

That's my Walmart face.

Ha.

Isn't it just a minority opinion that sparks up the majority opinion to agree with them anyway

I'm not exactly certain that a forum "democracy," per se, would work right, especially with such a large member base, but I'd sure as heck be willing to give it a try.

Either that, or simply having this happen: Staff makes a REFINED list of what they expect, fully defining what spam is, trolling is, flaming is, etc (so no "you can't spam, that's it" rules). The members, in turn, come together and make their own list of what they think would be the best rules (voting on what rules should stay/leave, in a sort of "proposal" and "support" fashion to decide what rules are even voted on). From there it's a simple matter of seeing where the staff and the members see eye-to-eye, then justifying the rules that they don't.

Ultimately, it's a good way to see what the members want, while at the same time allowing the members to see what the staff expects. In the end, the decision comes down to what the staff want, as they're the ones who do run this place, but at least then you'll have some understanding of what each group expects, rather than a constant back and forth, unhappiness, and such.

EDIT: Looking at this post, I'm not entirely sure what I said would work, either, given the member base. :/

i say we shape MFGG into the view of only one member



and that member is Xgoff




that will either make it the best fangame forum or the most doomed place on the face of the internet

Unless it's annoying and in the way, then it should be considered.

They ruin MFGG's image and are mostly used annoyingly. Warns will only happen if they're used negatively.

Didn't we do that with the Quackers Test? Where everyone PM'd their concerns and things were done about it?

zash and draku got banned for using them and not trolling. that's not negative.

nothing was done about anything. bs gave everyone stock answers.

It's not just MFGGers, it's people in general.

I don't really feel like reading another 20-page topic (already got enough of that from other forums' drama that's going on now); can someone please summarize everything for me? I'm guessing it's just forumers *****ing as usual, right?

people PM'd their concerns and suggestions and they were pretty much all blown off. It was ****ing awful.

This sort of an attitude is not a progressive attitude. It's highly detrimental to the growth of the forum.

QQ we want reaction images.
QQ we want troll ratings.
QQ you banned my bff.
QQ the mods aren't fair.

I think that basically sums up most of the tears.
