Mods now, apparently from what I SEE, see flaming (no matter how huge or minor) in a thread, and ignore it.

You should get your mods to be more like the police of the forum, strictly enforcing the rules. Which are, no spamming or flaming... But no, you select these huge hearted playful non serious mods, who let 'little' things slide. And letting those little flames slide, is what makes members retreat to other forums, as you said.

The problem with the site is the mods. And thats not my opinion, its a fact. On BIGGER forums, you see these 'little flame' comments all over the place. BUT, the site has like thousands of members, so it doesn't affect the site overall. But this site, is like a little family.
We don't have thousands or members. We have a nice little community. So when someone decides to flame or spam here, no matter how harmless the soft mods may see it as, the person that flames NEEDS to be put in his place. Simple as that.

I'm not going to lie, yes I've gone back to halomega, and I am now part of MANY other forums. Why did I randomly do this? Same reason as many of the other members here did... They got sick of people here saying disrespectful comments, and getting away with it.

Fix your mods Vorlx... And you fix the site, at least in a big way.

that would make for the most boring forum ever. thanks for your input though.

It would be boring, if people were always respectful?

Weird way to think in my opinion. Hey, even if your right, and people being nice would be 'boring' it doesn't matter. The point is, the forum would be more active and get more videos from its members. Where as now, our own members give videos to other forums instead, because they don't feel like having cheap immature shots taken at them by people on this forum, and having it not be addressed by mods.

actually people host their videos elsewhere because they say they don't get enough views here. good try though.

I understand the point you are trying to make and all I can say is it is a more difficult situation than you make it sound. Ecspecially considering where we are at right now with activity. While the flaming has increased I am doing what I can to try to contain it without having to ban every currently active member. I do know and acknowledge that it is out of control and needs to be contained. I am working on it, but it's not an overnight thing. It is a delicate situation. As far as the Halomega comment. Good luck with the other 3 people on the site. =) You deffinately won't have the same problem as here as noone at all will reply. =) Anyway. Point Taken. I am working on it.

EDIT: As far as the video hosting thing, thats really the least of our worries right now. The main reason we have lost the majority of all video hosting from our members is a popularity/view thing. We havn't been able to win that even when we had the activity and less flaming.

And they don't get enough views here, because rude people here make the viewers go to other forums. Don't you get it? Geesh... Very VERY simple point I'm making here.. Just stop arguing with me.
