AdminSpaceGodzillaApr-13-2014 8:46 PMIt's unfortunate that some members seem to ignore personal warnings and recommendations by us staff. A small group of users have been making discussions rather hostile and toxic lately. Pointless arguments, name calling, petty fights, etc... over the most ridiculous of things.
I'm making this public topic now to let everyone know that as we approach Godzilla's release, such negative behavior will not be tolerated and warnings will be dealt, followed by immediate BANs if need be.
There will be no name calling. There will be no slurs, no topic derailing, no sarcastic statements which could be interpreted as inflamatory. Everyone is going to start acting like adults and respect one another. If you're not mature enough to act civil on here, we will show you the door.
That also goes for members who feel the need to try and defame this website and its users... on our own forums (not that smart). If you don't like it here, leave. It's a click away. Otherwise, shut up and get over yourself.
I realize that as the site gets more popular, a wider range of people and personalities will crop up on here and not everyone is going to agree with what the other says. But that's no excuse to act negatively towards them.
This is the first and last reminder everyone is going to get before bans are dealt out and posting privileges revoked. Since day 1, I've said this is a positive environment for fans everywhere. Just because you're sitting behind a computer screen does not give you the right to mistreat another human being. Follow one of the earliest rules you were taught as children - if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you stick to that, we won't have any problems and discussions will carry on as they should.
If you feel a member is being abusive of our rules, or is instigating you, please either PM me or report their replies so we can investigate.
To those who continue to act positively and respectful with others, thank you. Lead by example and make this place as welcoming as possible so that any new members enjoy their time here as well.
Thank you.

MemberBaragonApr-13-2014 8:55 PMHey chris, i totally agree with you, but how many other members here do you think will listen to what this discussion has to say. Remember there are some trolls here and there.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-13-2014 9:00 PMWell this discussion basically isnt about the trolls you see, trolls should just get banned right away just like that. Ignorant members will be the ones who wont listen here I suppose.
I guess Ill say im going to change my ways a bit on this website now, tired of fights.

MemberBaragonApr-13-2014 9:08 PMThank you, Chris! :) You've given us Godzilla fans a place where we can discuss, CIVILLY, our love for Godzilla and our excitement for the new movie. Its unfortunate that some people have nothing better to do with their lives than to pick fights and spread negativity. Here's hoping this site will be a little more positive from now on! Godzilla is nothing to get into fights over, its something to be enjoyed. There will always be immature people out there, but Godzilla fans are generally some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. This site is a great place for those fans to gather, and that makes it something very special. :)

MemberBaragonApr-14-2014 2:53 AMWhy isn't this a locked topic on the top of the page? On that subject maybe we could get rid of some of the old topics that are locked as they don't have much meaning now and it's annoying having to scroll down half the page to get to new topics over the old ones that hardly get posted.
Yeah it's kind of off topic but this seems to have more relevance than half the threads that are locked and taking up half the front page.

AdminSpaceGodzillaApr-14-2014 1:14 PMThanks everyone, happy to see most of you are on board. I want this place to be the most positive,most welcoming Godzilla forum on the net, and the only way it's going to attain such a title is by the members' actions. So thank you for making the effort to keep this place lively and fun.
@durp004 - Yes, we'll be going through and doing some "spring cleaning" of old, locked, pointless topics soon.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-14-2014 4:34 PMGood. Good good good good.
I don't get too upset if fans pick fun at each other, I think its healthy, but the trolling stuff is more annoying than anything. It fricken drives a subject so far off topic its rediculous.
