Blocking helps nothing. All it does is give you a childish "Nah Nah I can't hear you" mentality.

peoples posts have a long reaching effect in a thread and are quoted often.

It's pointless.
As opposed to the "lol umad?" mentality?

Or you could just ignore peoples posts completely.

It's not hard.

Nothing is completely ignorable, unless you can manipulate matter.

Pretty sure it is.

See someones name, speed past the post.

If the moderators of this site would enforce rules there would be less of an issue. I'm sorry but I have moderated forums before and its not a difficult task to ban the morons.

These forums are for complaining like children, not for bettering the game so if the forum aspect disappeared all together, I wouldn't miss it one bit.

Not everyone is happy with the way things are, myself included. I'm looking forward to seeing the mods step in and bust some heads.

This, definitely.

If it were me modding this place, there'd be no section for politics or religion, there'd be no LGBT threads, there'd be no "Flame Core," there'd be no "Undead" section... basically the entire "Everything Else" section would get nuked because we dont need any of it.

So basically you'd stop all discussion non FFXI related?

Absolutely. There are a million other places on the internet to voice opinions on those matters or discuss other subjects where the matter at hand is more relevant. I do not feel FFXIAH should be one of them.

/confused
The forums are a separate and nearly independent feature from the primary purpose of the site altogether.
If you feel this way, why are you posting at all?

You seem to forget that the forum in of itself is a community brought together by a common interest: FFXI.
Why must we be bound to a singular subject and not expand our thoughts and views on things other than a video game? There's more to people that play FFXI than just FFXI.

Even dumb people can be amusing, but you just flatout fail. Saving up for a big move myself maybe once I am settled into my new home I can send a few bucks, a little is better than nothing eh?

Yeah! That Nikolce guy is full of ***, let's kick his ***. How dare he soil our perfect world of joy with his stupid ***. FFXIAH is a super elite site where everyone always stays on topic and never has any fun. He is only posting for his own warped self gratification. I bet if we just ignore him he will disappear.

Also, the minimum donation is four dollars, where the hell are you moving that four dollars would make a difference cheapass?

I'm still catching up, but this seems like the worst suggestion ever! Maybe it's just me though. LGBT is fun! They are the least confrontational people on this site!

It makes me lol sadly inside every time someone says "If I were moderator of these forums.." or "Moderators on these forums don't know how to .."

Your personal grudges against people have no place on these forums or any forums. If you have a list of names you would ban the minute you got any power you have bias. If you have a list of changes that you would enact right away you have bias. The fact you claim you would act on that bias the minute you got into power makes you obviously an unfair and unjust person to put into power.

A few people mention changing broad policy. Ok, that kinda makes sense, but you are aware that there are several other officially recognized sites that have stricter policy?

Anyway, back to the topic.

Have they said yet when we'll get our revised list of rules?
I'm still working on it.

I don't want to knee-jerk over-react, nor do I want to not go far enough.

(Edit: a subscription model is not being considered at this time.)

So is it true that you guys continue to maintain the site even though it comes as a loss to you?

Dear Admins

I love your wonderful site, but this problem would be fixed if a couple of knuckleheads (not pointing anyone in particular) would get perma banned. I think the admins already know who needs to go.

Anyway,

Thank you
