[QUOTE=Calix;658407]For real though, nothing's going to happen unless there's some kind of consensus about what constitutes 'excessive shit-posting' and whatever. I would just leave it up to the individual hosts. Just remind the hosts to clearly define what they want out of a game and anyone who violates the rules that the host sets should be warned by the host.
It should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Easy.
Also Sino, have you tried...signing up for more games so that there's one less slot that isn't filled with a shit-poster? I don't think people will take an inactive player very seriously which is partly why this thread is so...fascinating ;)[/QUOTE]
Alright, i'm sorry for the excessive personal attacks, but at least we got a new meme

You do realize that if you genuinely meant to suggest something // try to better help the way things work you would be posting in Answer Hall as opposed to leaving it to an open end topic conversation where you throw names left and right like you've had to first hand have to deal with it.
Banana and I had a following out, she thinks im shit, she thinks half this site is shit (am i right or am i right?) you don't see her making public threads about it, she just doesn't sign with toxic players. Be like Banana. Not an asshat.[/QUOTE]
The point of a forum is also having us all talk about problems, so yes, i will probably end up posting in the answer hall, but i first wanted everyone's opinion about this.

[QUOTE=Mesk514;658361]by the way Sino, when was the last time you played in a game? you seem to be throwing out a lot of shots at people // suggestions for someone who hasn't played in a S-FM in god knows how long.
Now i know what you're gonna say, I don't play cause of the Toxicity... well then, use that brain and go to another site.
Can someone please link me to Calix's statement about toxicity?
Can someone please link me to Never Unluckys shpeel about how this site is Toxic?
Ika, SilverWolf, can i see yours?
See the thing is you think it's okay to comment on other peoples play when you haven't even played the game in, as i said, god knows how long. & On top of that you have no problem mentioning names and such, so that turns this thread into a shit talking discussion, so please allow me to shit on you.
you're a shit player.
Don't blame your shittyness on others shit posting.[/QUOTE]
My last game was Fringe, and yep, i might be a shitty player, but at least i'm a player =)

[QUOTE=BananaCucho;658273]What we need is a community consensus of what is expected in mafia and if you cross that line you'll be punished for it.
You're signing a game with 0 intention to play? The community is going to lynch you day 1. With that sort of threat hanging over every day 1 but not necessarily always enforced (if everyone is playing its not needed) I think could go a long way.
The only problem is if people start making it something its not. You can't punish poor play for example. If a newbie like Arrow was in Spirits is just lost you need to give him help, tips on how to improve, etc. His name was being thrown around for PL for "not contributing enough" when he was just lost.
It must be solely used for players who sign to troll or socialize or whatever but never actually play.
The list of players that do this is actually very small. On average most players try to game solve or scumhunt or town hunt or slip hunt or interact with people or reaction test or do whatever they think is best to sort things and try to win. Its a very small population of players that bring the game quality down IMO.[/QUOTE]
I couldn't agree more.

Yeah, actively shitposting, that's what i'm trying to point out here.
[QUOTE=PowersThatBe;658253]But you need people to be able to kick other people out. So to improve it you need more bodies and if you get better quality people that then helps to improve the site. Trying to do it now with view people won't help.

I do think this community has enough good players, they just stop playing one after another for a lot of different reasons, we might at least do something about the ones we can have an influence on.

MM was a good game with very little shitposting, that's my point, now look at Spirits and tell me where Mesk actually played the game, that's what i mean by excessive shitposting.
If you feel like my concerns are overblown, show me where Mesk actually scumhunted, preferably on her main account.

Nu and calix left for more than just shit posting I assume -- considering nu basically said shit posting is fine. If you want to solve a game by page 5 to you are delusional or no fun.

No, i want people to play the games they're signing in, i don't care about winning or not, when someone only shitposts during an entire game, it's just not fun to play anymore.

Why do you think you're the number 1 shit poster ? That's not the case.

[QUOTE=SilverWolf;658148]So my solution is to PL them. Do it every time they act that way in the game and say they are scum or anti-town and need to die.[/QUOTE]
I agree with the logic behind the PL, but to me, if there is a PL, that just means the host (and maybe even the staff) failed their duty towards their players, which is to provide the best playing environment possible.

[QUOTE=Never Unlucky;658118]How does shitposting "[make] days (mostly D1) almost unreadable and [destroy] some player's motivation to play, severely dropping this site's quality at the same time"?[/QUOTE]
Good players won't be willing to sign in games where some players won't contribute at all, when you potentially have 3+ pages of only shitposting in a single day, i really don't see how it's fun to read it, or trying to get the shitposter to actually contribute.
[QUOTE=Never Unlucky;658118]I can understand the problem you have with players who solely shitpost -- and thus make no serious contribution to the game, but I think shitposting in and of itself is not a problem. We are not robots, we don't have to be serious all the time. I find games with little shitposting to be not entertaining and games with a good ratio of banter & jokes/serious posts to be much more fun to read and play in.[/QUOTE]
Of course, as long as players also contribute to the game, there's nothing wrong with some shitposting, some times however, some slots only shitpost and don't contribute at all.
[QUOTE=Never Unlucky;658118]Also, I don't understand this: "shitpost all the way through d1 and need to be policy lynched, that shows there's a big problem with the entire site, why do such players get a free pass everytime ?" Do they get PLed or do they get a free pass?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, i know, but by letting them run free, we are kinda banning the good players instead, as they lose all motivation to play, in the end it's just a matter of which players we want to keep, the shitposters or the good ones ?

This issue can't be ignored any longer.
Excessive shitposting really tends to ruin a lot of games here, making days (mostly D1) almost unreadable and destroys some player's motivation to play, severely dropping this site's quality at the same time.
This site has plenty of examples of games with a lot of shitposting and some without, just look at the difference.
When some players sign in games with no intention to play whatsoever, shitpost all the way through d1 and need to be policy lynched, that shows there's a big problem with the entire site, why do such players get a free pass everytime ?
I also don't think having hosts adding rules against it and modkilling shitposters wouldn't make that much of a difference in the long run, this needs to be dealt with by the staff.
We also had cases of players seeing their mistake and improving, so why doesn't the FM staff, for example, PM the known shitposters at first to just discuss about it, and if this doesn't help, take action against it, like ban them for future signups ?
