Tree of Savior Forum

Lack of moderation in the forums

Sup.

Posting this topic to ask the forum admins to actually start moderating the spam posts which plague general discussion constantly. These forums have a lot of users that create copy topics on a everyday basis and flood discussions with posts that contribute absolutely nothing. Example: “yes. /20 characters”

Also, I would hope everyone who is a member on this forum to take a moment to think before posting a new topic or a new response. For new topics, using the search function is helpfull in finding out if you are about to create a copy topic. On responses: if your post isn’t relevant to the discussion in the topic (op post or a new idea being discussed in the topic) just refrain from posting.

Who does it hurt if you spam? Well, it hurts everyone in the forums, but mostly the people who actually are trying to contribute to the topics. Heres why: tracking topics becomes painfull because of the spam / off topic posts. Finding new interesting topics is difficult due to the amount of copy and spam topics. Also, most new topics are created in the wrong section.

Due to the fact that this forum is out of control with next to none moderation, its not a big surprise other ToS forums are grabbing members. This is whats happening to me for example, I have started to drift to another forum that is well moderated and actually has a member base that does not spam.

Nice wall of text there buddy.
Don’t worry coz I believe chances are most of these thread will be obsolete when they launch the finalized game. :wink: that’s the time we need to be extremely sensitive posting.

Just by the title i can get the gist of what you are saying, while i do agree on the spam thing, i dont think its really necessary a mod to take care of stuff, its just a matter of pay attention and not wanting attention. This forum system is one of the most nice ones out there, and imo its the best one i’ve see so far. Right at the main forum page you have 2 tabs(?) saying News and Unread, i mean, its a freaking lazy function right there, you dont need to go looking for the posts all over the place, the new ones and the ones you are participating.

And thats my spam quote for the day hopefuly lol.

Excellent example of a poster that has no clue what he is saying. Wall of text is a text that has no empty rows to seperate the text into dif colums. Which makes it very difficult and painfull to read.

My text was seperated into 4 dif colums.

Ok I stand corrected there, you are barking at the wrong tree. I admire people who can write that long coz my English is no good and I have low IQ but you just neglected my compliment… I’m nice to you and you respond like a scumbag.

I dont even understand what you are saying now. First you say you were wrong about the wall of text and then you call me a scumbag for being mean to you after you gave me a compliment that wasn’t in your post?

Also, this is off topic.

Imo it definetly needs a mod to take care of. Like you agreed the forums are filled with copy topics and spam in general. The community flag system does nothing since it only hides the post.

Hiding a post doesn’t “punish” the spammer in any way, nor does it even teach the person what he did wrong. It’s the same ingame, people need mods / gms, othervise its just pure anarchy. And since most of the members in this forum are young, i’m not surprised about the amount of spam. But hey, someone should teach them not to do it.

I dont even understand what you are saying now.
-You were mean to me then I will be mean to you as well… that simple.

First you say you were wrong about the wall of text and then you call me a scumbag for being mean to you after you gave me a compliment that wasn’t in your post?
-I called you buddy. I did this emoticon —> ;). Isn’t that obvious that I’m trying not to offend you given I’m quite against your post? Give me justice here.

Sorry if I didn’t get you at the last part but this is the compliment I gave you… “nice wall of text there buddy”.

@Nervontuxis
Considering you seem okay with bumping dead threads, why didn’t you just bump one of the other threads on this topic?

Topic

  • Yes, some staff moderation would be nice.
  • Your points are fine.
  • Why the 2-month-dead-thread bump with nothing to add to the thread?
    Doing it to prove a point seems fairly unhelpful because we get it.

You keep calling him a scumbag.
He may have responded in a less-than-admirable fashion, but you’re not doing any better, mate.
There is nothing to be gained here. Just walk away if you don’t feel like discussing the topic.

Thats why its a matter of politeness and culture, why one must spam a forum? To get attention? If thats the case if he go outside his house with a watermelon hanging on his neck he will get better effects.

Like i said, the forum system is pretty “lazy mode” as it is, well, in the end, who will decide if there will be mods or not will be IMC so we only have to wait, but during the waiting everyone here could do their part to keep the forums clean with relevant info, i dont think anyone would die for doing that.

You are wasting your time, like Neo for the matrix you are not the first “one” to ask such a thing, as a matter of fact this same topic can be construed as a copy of other posts, get over it.

I see the official forum just as a portal, similar to the Subreddit to ToS.
You should mainly stick to another forum in any case. There are many people who do it this way already.

They are not going to actively moderate the forums.
Automated systems like the flagging feature are put in place when you don’t can or want to deal with something personally.
Unless you can get a considerable amount of people to support your suggestion, that idea is not even going to be considered. Others have suggested the same idea before and received little positives.

How is this forum out of control? You should of seen the Elsword forums when it first got released it was way worse than this, anyway when Elsword got released, the admins were allowing players make forum mod applications and they would choose the best candidate based off on different criterias. All I’m saying is be patient, IMC has more important things to do right now than to pick mods for the forums.

For now its moderated, but you saw how it started to lose a bit of control during the tosbase hacking case, instead of consolidate everything in one thread they start to create new ones, it wasnt many but still.

You do know none of this matters right? You’re gonna play the game whether the forums are moderated or not or whether you’re on a different forum than this one. So stop seeking attention.

I’m not seeking attention with the post, if you actually took a moment to read it, you would see I made some points and hoped that we could actually work towards making these forums better.

And I haven’t said anything about not playing the game, i have said that i will end up not using these forums in the future if nothing is done. Basicly meaning I won’t be bothered to discuss the future of this game further.

Hopefully IMC will start paying attention to the forums when they finally launch the game, but I’m not very convinced on the companies ability anymore. I hope im wrong and ToS will be a success and the forums will be well maintained, but normally when things start to look like poo, they tend to be that to the end.

You’re insignificant to the game and to the forums.

Developing/Publishing a game =/= Catering to kids on the forums so don’t bother making that kind of comparison like the forums “success” = game success. Did you even play CBT1?

“I’m not very convinced on the companies ability anymore.” lol, nice judgment

What exactly is starting to look like poo?

Might be next to impossible to gain support for that. Considering that most users in this forum just spam meaningless posts to gain forum posts. Maybe its a futile effort on my part, but hey, at least i tried to get a discussion going on this topic :smile:

“just spam meaningless posts to gain forum posts.”

Takes a nice look at this thread
