    Zero Tolerance (in theory) keeps it from degenerating further.

    It's not that we don't care. In my case it's time. I don't have it to sit and read through pages and pages of a thread every day, but when I do ever end up going into those forums and see spam, flaming, etc., I do ban. Those forums don't need it.

    And I generally do enjoy debating in EotW or EoEO with some of the better members. We can't ban for opinions, however, which can make things trying

    It's very testing of the sanity to have to wade through five or more pages of people whining about crap you don't care about back and forth at each other. I don't care to take part in debate, so I stopped visiting those forums some time ago. Even though it's part of my duties now to enforce the policies in there, it's so mind numbing to go through all of this crap I don't care about in order to make sure that everyone is playing nicely.

    I think some of the other staff feels the same way. The only course of action to help this situation, I think, is to reinforce to the posters there that, if they feel there is flaming or spamming, they must report it.

    Well if you guys don't have enough time/people to moderate these boards then the solution is simple. (SPOILER)Ban a bunch of people

    edit: There. I edit all my posts about 50 million times before I'm done posting you read version 7 so I reset it back to that.....in fact it took me 4 tries just to make this edit tab the way I wanted. ok, 12 times now becuase I spelt read wrong. 13 now because I spelt because wrong..and I didn't like the way I said it.

    Yeah, that was my first thought, too.

    edit: Prior to you editing your post. Just the bit about banning people.

    If non of the mods like that forum then find someone who does like that forum and make them just a forum mod. Problem solved. Gets us off of your backs and it keeps you out of the sperm dumpster.

    I don't read penny arcade, except when someone posts it in here. Besides, ed just posted it because it says "smurfing" in it.

    No way. Liquid Plumber = Drano and everyone knows it. On top of that it gets increasingly harder to find a PA that does have smurf in it :/

    The staff have a Zero Tolerance policy? Hah! A Zero Competence policy more like! Oh, I know, I'm so witty.

    Delete EotW. Problem solved.

    Alternate solution: Find The Captain and beg him to come back.
