I added something constructive, fine gentleman. Well, comparatively to you, big man. As a professional, you should wipe that smirk off your post, sir. I was just thinking if they bring back r3 missions, when your drive the taxi peds could randomly attack you in a robbing. Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Well, I don't see the point in merging them, especially when the previous topic hadn't recieved a reply in two months, but that's mods with nothing better to do for you , but i think random peds should try to kill you like in the movies Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Well, if you knew the topic title was bad, why didn't you fix it slim? I'm not sure what your topic was about since it was so poorly written, but I'm assuming that it has some distant relation to random character interactions. If this is the case, then yes I am a fan, and see no reason why they would take them out of the game. I don't give the homeless money, and I got better things to do to than search for someone's dog, especially when about to kill an FBI informant, so I dont see how that makes the game more realistic Finally, if your not going to attempt to write legibly, don't bother typing. And that's how you deal with a new member. Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Well, then that is lollyroffle. You are coming on here to waste your time. Have you really gotten anything productive done while on the website??? Also, yeah, but you didn't. Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Who is going to leave the forums because a member spams? You can easily block posts from certain members... If some newb causes someone who has been a part of the forum for a year or more to leave, then that is a lollyroffle. Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Where'd you get that gem of info from about the three maps dot dot dot Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

It was certainly more interesting back then, that's for sure. If there's nothing to talk about gta5 ways, there's always trashing so dumbfuck over the Internet. That's always entertaining. Opx, you said its not a good idea to let people spam and flame an empty forum, but you never said why exactly. Duff man said it was because the topics were on the front page, but if that's the only reason, take the off the front page. No fool on the internet is going "get scared" by bad topic names or shitty member. Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Harrier and Giggabit were huge spammers back in the day before GTA-SanAndreas had moderators. They were villains, and basically the whole communited hated them. They provided a catalyst for members to form relationships with one another that kept them comming back to the forums to find out what "harrier" was going to do next and whether or not we could finally get Psy to have moderators. It was a community building experience that let NEW members experiment with their posts without getting blasted, banned, or nitpicked with. Now if you make one mistake, your topic is locked, deleted and your told by moderators what an idiot you are. Not exactly the most friendly place. Before your time, I guess. Which is my point, none of the current moderators were around when GTA-SanAndreas didn't have moderators. I was on my Iphone so i couldn't quote before, but this: Why is it not a good idea. Before when people where creating a lot of topics locking the bad ones was a good idea to limit clutter, now we don't have to worry about clutter so much.

Opx, see: Harrier, gigabit Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Nah, you lock the topic or delete it, silly Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Yes I'm happy, look at that topic, look at the replies, hell it brought stoic back. That guy is a villain. Tell people once to stop Flaiming, then suspend them for a day if the ignore you, but in the mean time, good times. Tons of activity. Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Thanks for the response, TreeFitty. Birds of a shit feather flock together Rand. Most users dont ever change, they come to a GTA fan site, post their bullshit for a few weeks then leave to do it at another. My point there wasn't that you can get people to change, but that who cares if they don't change. If they don't chage they are a rallying point. Someone the rest of the community can point the finger at, and say "I don't like you", all the while building relationships with each other. If you want an active forum, you want to build relationships. Having a common enemy makes this easier. Actually, those weren't two seperate points, they were the same point. The point was that although at certain times, (eg, when the forum is busy) locking or merging topics has a purpose, when the forum is empty, and there are only 4-5 topics posted a day, theres no need to lock/merge simular topics because they don't reduce access to the active topics ( 4 good topics, 4 repetitive topics is still only eight topics, and all eight topics fit on the first page). You think they are complete tards. I hate to break it you but some of the most active members were complete tards when they first joined, Sir TreeFitty. I would also like you to revisit my point about Harrier, GigaBit?, Imaphatpimp, Omega, et al. Secondly, on the signatures... thought it was my computer fucking the signature up, turns it was Duffman. I can see the need to control signature limits, but we didn't seem to have a problem with it before when there was 150 members online at anygiven time, and bandwith was an issue, so what has changed between now and then. I wanted to have a discussion about it, or to atleast hear your response... but Duffman locks the topic because it annoys him... I wasn't looking for duffman's respnse, because he doesn't own the site. He didn't seem to understand that. Duffmann complains that he made the change becuase it's hard for him to tell the signature is over the 250px limit (for the image). If it's so close to the right size that you have to open up photoshop to make sure it ain't 251 pixels, then you need to find something else to do. Let it be. I can easily tell the difference between 250 pixel, and 350, for example. We've never had a limit on text in a signature, since the main concern was bandwith. If your going to place a limit on it, at least make it reasonable. 250 for image and text is too small. It's not completely a bandwidth issue. Scrolling past a tall image is just as annoying as a tall signature overall. I like the new enforcement. Well, thats a personal preference. I disagree; Its not new enforcement. The signature requirements were always ment to refer to image size. I should know, i helped write them. Thats changed now, ok. Thats the point of this topic. Moderators change things for their personal benefit. In response to your "if people post stupid topics" options, typically the topic turns into a flame fest of calling the OP a tard. My response to that is... who gives a fuck. Do you care if a member flames a person for posting something stupid? Wheres the downside. I see only upside for a less than active forum. Mr BadPost (as he's called) is a villian that all the good members can make fun of and talk about while waiting for new GTA5 information. I would again encourage you to look at the roles members like Harrier and Omega played in building forum relationships and activity. Having someone to hate isn't always a bad thing. For your complaints overall, you yourself have posted tard topics in almost a trolling manner. I laughed when you reported spam about a week and a half ago. I'm proud of my topics, i have no idea what your talking about. You thought they were stupid, i really wanted to know why kind of brick styles GTA would have. It got more than a few responses in an otherwise dead forum before the "all too proper" authorities decided to move it to the "old member only zone" known as the asylum. I reported spam from a "established" member, because i find it Ironic that 95 percent of the rules apply only to new members. Besides that TreeFitty and Duffman, i already know how you feel about it. Psy wil probably agree with you to, but i'd like him to atleast thing about what i'm saying. Theres no need for all these nit picky rules right now. EDIT: Finally, who ever decided it was a good idea to make it so you could only have 3 quote boxes, should really really go for a walk.

I've threatened many people... Yours sincerely, A very fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Yes I would have. They don't do any harm, you can still see all active topics, and both members still feel like their topic is adding to the conversation. If it does no harm I don't see the need to take action. Gta-sanandreas.com didn't need moderators until it got active, igta5 probably doesn't need them either. Idle hands. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you guys are there for the front end of the site in terms of content development, and I think the current staff are the ones who done the most hard work for the site (news, content, ect) but for a inactive forum there's very limited need for moderators, especially when they make up new constraints just because they find something personally annoying. To your point opx, if people post stupid topics, A. They won't get a response any way and the topic will fall to the wayside Or B. members will berate the user until he becomes a villain in for the "good" members to build a community of active members around the "good" members. See: harrier, gigabit?, psycho, Og loc Yours sincerely, A very fine gentleman with an iPhone.

Think they should add spiritual healing to GTA5....

Since my other topic has been answered (Not discussed), then i have a few points for Psy to consider. Psy, Your moderators seem to have a lot of meaningless restrictions on what members can do. Merging and locking topics in GTA5 because there are threads that are related for example. Last time i looked GTA 5 general isn't exactly flowing with new topics. The whole point of merging topics is so that good topics don't fall to the second page to make room for four simular topics, but when you average 3-4 topics a day in GTA 5 general this isn't a problem. The key to keeping new members is to make them feel important.. People don't like when you lock their topics, and as active as this place is, it's not really needed. You should consider getting rid of all the staff, or at least stopping them from making rediculous changes and locking topics / banning members "because they are annoying" ... I can't believe a moderator would post a topic in the asylum called "Elitism", asking members if they should ban new members because they are annoying. But they did it. You know better than me, but i CANT believe that is good for the site, or for you personally. Secondly, on the signatures... thought it was my computer fucking the signature up, turns it was Duffman. I can see the need to control signature limits, but we didn't seem to have a problem with it before when there was 150 members online at anygiven time, and bandwith was an issue, so what has changed between now and then. I wanted to have a discussion about it, or to atleast hear your response... but Duffman locks the topic because it annoys him...

If your going to place a limit on it, at least make it reasonable. 250 for image and text is too small. Remember GTA -SanAndreas? You didn't even have a staff until it was requested by members... something to think about.

yawn. It's been doing it for 3-4 weeks, this is the first time i've asked about it. I thought it was my computer fucking it up, turns it was you. If it's so close to the right size that you have to open up photoshop to make sure it ain't 251 pixels, then you need to find something else to do. Let it be. I can easily tell the difference between 250 pixel, and 350, for example. Just saying Psy, Your moderators seem to have a lot of meaningless restrictions on what members can do. Not just this incident, but merging and locking topics in GTA5 because there are threads that are related. Last time i looked GTA 5 general isn't exactly flowing with new topics. The whole point of merging topics is so that good topics don't fall to the second page to make room for four simular topics, but when you average 3-4 topics a day in GTA 5 general this isn't a problem.

The rules say 250px for images.... nothing about the entire space. I can understand having limits, but how about an announcement or something useful. If your going to do something like that 350px is more reasonable. I guess you admin types are really looking for something to do, ey?

My signature is only shows part of the image, and none of the quote boxes.. so, whats going on? ktnx.

I think it could make for an interesting mission... like, you got a girlfriend that is going to kill you unless you do enough crimes to pay for her nose job... or maybe a disgruntled husband pays you to kill his supermodel wife with botox... but other than that, pass.

dont see the point in this topic, a dog is in the opening part of the trailer clear as day...

I think agent is gonna end up being vaporware.

i don't know, i didn't think that LA Noire looked particularly impressive, and if thats the reason i had to get off my ass 3 times to swap disks out, PASS!.

No I don't Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone. That's why I play the different game first, then play skyrim with sticky hands Yours sincerely, A fine gentleman with an iPhone.
