so you'd rather have boring forums that are like hanging out at your grandmas retirement center, then actually active forums? Yes this is a very intelligent post.

Already points I've addressed. You and I both know that is miles away from the truth. Smart trolls create rivalries. Idiots only create flash in the pan flame wars that get out of control. The best part of the DV v. TPR rivalry was because a few of their leadership went to such great deals to express themselves, their arguments, and whatnot. Laughing at the few people who caused problems only caused MORE problems. DV was here before TPR, TPR had simply picked up what a handful of individuals were already doing. When a user is banned, they are instructed in how to appeal. And if I remember who you're talking about, not a single one of them have bothered to appeal, yet instead cause trouble and only make matters worse. As for the details of people's bans, I can't discuss them save that no one was banned for child porn in the clan section that I can remember lol. Dv here before TPR what the............... I'm here trying to backup my point once again and I will state it right now bolded and underlined If you have mods that are more lenient, that let a fair bit of trolling/flaming go unnoticed I can almost 100% guarantee you that tip.it will be a lot more active. In order to do this clan mod should be given to someone intelligent, yet also currently active in the clan world so he/she knows how to deal with certain topics. You say you have done this in the past yet as I pointed out only 3 of the mods are in currently active warring clans ( as I said wg don't count as they barley do anything) and one of the mods is currently INactive. With that said I would like to point out some of the older topics on here, such as the DS vs. DI one. There were some flames on it and heated discussion but it looked like an interesting topic, whereas now example: LND DEFEATS LEGENDZ, you get a spam post of grats lnd, good job lnd, better luck next time legendz, however if you threw in a troll or two that topic would be much more interesting to read.

Expected TR, Poison have terrible organization and usually end within 10-15 minutes in pvp but looks like they can't even win in cwa either!

This goes back to my very first post in this thread, actually. Intelligent trolling versus idiots posting "gf inbred". What TPR did was unfortunately the latter rather than the former, which is why they were instantly taken care of. But in the crusader-mindset most people seem to have that "ALL TROLLING MEANS ACTIVITY" and push the envelope until they're banned. I think you can draw your own conclusions with that. Because while there might be improvements for moderation style, if people are constantly being stupid in an effort to increase activity, they're also not helping and doing far more harm than good. And as for who we choose as staff, at the time, they were all in clans. At the time of application, Stu was in TRWF. When Das was made a clan mod, I believe he was in The Wanderers. When Loge_05 was aboard, he was in Gladz. When we choose more, they too will be in clans. We want people with experience, obviously. I appreciate you making the time to express your concerns and I'd love it if you and those would help a little bit more instead of posting that you'll camp members of the staff at their next fight because they (rightfully) banned their best friend. Well how about you get some mods from different clans, newer clans, clans that are higher ranked, some that will do a good job yet know the current mindset of the clan community. I'm sure there were no "gf inbred" remarks by tpr and you yourself were a part of tpr for a while to know that we were all intelligent trolls. Trolls generate rivarlies, rivarlies generate activity, and activity generates interests ( feel free to stop me if im posting anything you think is wrong). Again take the DV vs. TPR rivarly for example, we started with trolling on these boards and pretty soon the rivarly sparked interest in tip.it as we constantly hunted them if they pked, brought discussion ( hostile it may be) We also provided many lulz for the tip.it community. Two of the leaders were banned for what having one having "[bleep] off" as your defname, the other for posting a youtube video that was suposedly child porn when it was clearly not what the............? You are still camped next fight as you did not succumb to my demands good day Kimberly.

Alright WG was good in like 2004 or something I'll give you that, but can you please inform me of any of their recent wars, and I'm almost 100% certain they don't pk anymore. Also 90% of clan forums are dominated by warring clans I don't really think mods from community clans when they're not in warring clans fit really well, they don't understand the rivalries that go on, they basically lock a topic first sight of flame, a lot of people complain Tip.it is not active and this is exactly the reason why, two mods from active warring clans that are generally still active and well known, while the rest are as I stated before. I understand the concept of a majority. And warring clans have always been not only the most outspoken, but most prominent. But unless you're suggesting that we should abandon all clans who are on here (and there are quite a few non-warring clans here), then I don't see how you have any sort of credible point. A lot of people complain that tipit is inactive, yes, don't disagree with you. Tell me how having Warria, Empire Mind, or Mattbrazil will help make tipit suddenly super active when they aren't even a part of the community to begin with? I would like it if bigger clans came here, but just because their leader got a promotion on the site should not be the main draw, and will only go poorly for the community. Anything else? One - Not saying they have to be leader in their current clan or high rank or whatever Two - People who understand the clan community currently more would be helpful, someone like , Dandaman or Killered probably they won't go OMFG FLAME CLOSE TOPIC AND CLEAN THIS IS NH Three - I'm not saying everyone currently should abandon their clan I'm saying that when new mods are chosen, it should be people who are in currently active warring clans whether it's Reign of Terror or Solace or Envy, I don't think we need anymore people from WG/Exercitum/Community Clans/Clanless If you have mods that were a bit more lenient seeing as I did make a post about this in the conclave a couple of months ago, and not lock topic and clean at the sight of trolling then tip.it community could be much more active and amusing like it was when we had TPR posting their wins against DV/LND/whoever. Just saying flaming/trolling is part of the clan community now, just like crashing is times have changed and locking every topic isn't really helping the cause.

I am in Solace. Unclebilly1 is in RSD. Quikdrawjoe is in LND and WG. Abs is in Downfall. Steeny is in BK. Dfchester is in DW. Laikrob runs The Slayers Guild, which is a community clan. LegendaryStu and Das are the only ones not in a clan. Are you sure you have your facts right? Dfchester hasn't been dragonwood for months WG doesn't do anything at all I don't count that anymore Community clan? Please I'm talking about warring clans Unclebilly isn't rsd anymore Grats your 3 mods that are actually in clans that still war are Steeny(barley even active) yourself, and abs. If you don't count WG as a clan, when they are still actively warring, then that's your ignorant mistake. And we cater to ALL clans, not just community clans. Haven't spoken personally to Chester and Billy lately since I returned from my break, so that's my mistake. But you seem mad for no real reason. Do you have a real complaint, or are you just trying to cause problems?

This is the coolest story ever, because I think everyone will agree with me here when all three of us were active tip.it was much more amusing, when the tpr and dv rivarly was going on tip.it was MUCH more active then it is now, and after Everton and Generaldesor banned I think it's safe to say that tip.it slumped, this is a small indicator of something that might be wrong promoting certain people into mod position just because they're "mature" will generally get every topic locked, I think there are some people that should not be in their current mod positions, good luck with your community, If you agree with me you can post. Well sometimes the moderation can get to be too much. Let them go to an extent but if it gets too much then they can get removed. And as I said earlier in a different topic, the clan section tends to be more heated than the rest of the boards so the moderation should be adjusted according to that, meaning be a bit more lenient. and it should have mods that aren't from the stone age? Come on honestly one is WG, one is CLanless, one Barley plays rs, I mean Abs and Ninane are in active clans I guess but honestly I think moderation in the clan forum should change.

If this doesn't work I honestly don't know what will lol.

think you're a 4nr, could be wrong though (doubtful)

I hope Tip.it gets some decent clan moderators soon, ones who are actually in active clans for once? Not ones who were in clans once upon a time...... Or haven't been in a clan at all.

I demand Everton, Generaldesor, and The Hitman unbanned. Tip.it died and this is the reason MORE TROLLS = MOREA CTIVITY if you do not accept my demands (lady ninane) I will see you at every solace fight you have.

Great job pals, Legendz are all talk.

Good job TPR glad to see you posting again.

Congrats.

Grats Gladz.

Grats Downfall.

congrats on your win.

Senior Member rank is always fun you have some responsibilities but you don't have the overwhelming stress of being a leader and dealing with a bunch of issues.

Congrats DF, better luck next time Rj.

Not that big a deal, barley used it anyway.

Congrats on your win, you sound a little too cocky though.

Very nice and organized thread, good clips from old school pking, enjoyed it great job bro.

Congrats t0.
