holy s--- i'm about to cry y'all are too sweet
I didn't even realize more people had posted
let me respond to every one of you--
@Matmail Moving the server might help lag a bit, and of course it's up to us to share the site! Not many people create accounts on the forums, but many people do use the site for its initial purpose (making quizzes). I'm sure the site gets a lot more traffic than we think about. It's just that more of the people make polls and quizzes more than they post on the forums.
@Absol (Thank you love uwu) Yes, toxicity is a huge problem in this current generation. I thought it was just people who are gamers but it seems as if people get extremely rude or violent at life in general. It's hard to hold a conversation with someone who isn't willing to hear you out. Or who will cuss at you if you tell them that they're doing something wrong. I completely understand why you wouldn't want to be with those types of people.
Actually, that.. Is a thing. The higher your rank, the more your offensive button does to a post. For example, four seniors (something like that) can delete a post that two hot shots might be able to delete. However, for basic users (non-moderators), your effectiveness goes down the more you mark. So if you mark a lot of posts, eventually, your offensive button will do nothing for ~a week. GTQ Guy implemented that so people who abuse the button will not be able to abuse it for too long at any one time.
@1714 what are we discussing here
@Twilight As I mentioned before, a lot of people are realizing that they have better things to do than sit around on a quizzing site.
The problem with calling newbs a problem (lol) is that they really aren't. We all start off new to a site. It's not their fault that most come on with awful grammar or an attitude of 'you aren't my mother!' And, when you think about it, all of us did that. I did it too and I regret the times where I was rude to someone just because they were new to the site. Sometimes, telling them what's up will help them become a better person.
Trolls will always be around. On sites where professional moderators are and where the creator if the site is more apparent, they show up less. It's a bit hard for us to get it across that people need to stop interacting with them so we can deal with them. As more people start helping us track them down, they'll stop being a problem.
That idea actually isn't as stupid as it sounds. In most forums, there's a "welcoming" forum where users new to the site can post to greet others and get help understanding how the site works. I've always liked those sites because that's how I make friends and stuff. It would also be nice to have an official F&Q besides my crappily made one that we bump every so often.
Ahh, thank you dear. It's really not a problem. I've just realized that some people that used to like me aren't very happy with me at this point. I was feeling really down about what they said about me and I wanted to let them know that I'll forgive them. I want to change so people will actually like me, you know? I want to be the best person I can be. Not many people are willing to change but I am. I just wish the people I wanted to see this would.. See. And understand that every word I wrote came from my heart and not my head. As for how much of a struggle I'm having being a moderator, I knew I'd have to deal with all of the trolls. It can be stressful but I plan to keep doing my job as long as this site stands.
@Asshat :') oh god I've missed you man
@Iron (I always forget what your name is.. it's been a while UGH i'm sorry) Thank you so much for reading all of that. I'm really doing my best to make sure that I don't hide anything from people.
@Ryan Ahhhh I'm sorry but now you're making me sad that you're sad because I'm sadish ;_; gah.. thanks for calling me awesome but honestly I'm just an average person trying to pretend I have a point here -
Shh don't be sad be rad dude. And we all view ourselves as less than we are, right? I view myself quite lowly. Don't let what you think of yourself get to you- you'll realize your worth eventually, I'll suppose. Just realize everyone goes through this s---- it passes- it does. There's a celebrity I know who has impacted so many people but he still views himself as untalented, unattractive and worthless. His lyrics make me so sad, bc he's one of the reasons I stay sane ;-; you touch so many people, point is, and I don't think you realize it.

Dark, you're fine. You, much like a normal person, are a very sweet person. You have some downs, but who doesnt? Seriously? I really like your attitude and style. You have a weird personality that makes it fun to talk to you. You are amazing at roleplaying, to be honest. I haven't really noticed anything being wrong with you. It kind of makes me upset that you would say that. Though, I also haven't really talked to you much. That's no excuse, for my lack of long writing. What i'm trying to say is, I look up to you as a role model
^u^ You're awesome -
I see how that system might work Dark, but it isn't big enough of an impact per 1 user. 4 seniors to delete 1 post? That's a lot and won't be happening any time soon seeing as a lot of senior accounts are no longer active. What are the chances that 4 seniors will be online when a troll strikes? It's just too high of a standard/requirement. 2 seniors at most would be a bit more reasonable.
At night I was up with around 3-4 more people, both either novices or juniors. Suddenly, Drew's thread was posted in. I checked it out, only to notice that a troll was spamming it. I tried to mark a post offensive, but it did nothing. Not a slight hint of those grey lines that show up when something is getting marked. How can I help when no one else is online at night and there's a troll causing mischief? -
hmmm~

I read the thread and found it very interesting. I see and agree with the way Dark22978 says the site might work. I think that would make GoToQuiz more efficient, and maybe get more users. I have been looking at the new quiz list; there are far too many new quizzes for the users to have made, and they appear so often. I've noticed that many of them are made by people without accounts, who maybe don't know about the forums. Because of this, it might help to tell them about the forums, but I don't know if they check their quiz comments, it would be harder for them to because of their not having an account, they can't go into their profile and have to look the quiz up.
I'm sorry if I am one of the newbies you don't like. I admit that I've been ignorant and stupid, asking older users for help and bothering them when I should have looked it up or figured it out myself, or just not tried in the first place, and I'm sorry. I know I'm not a good roleplayer, or soaper, and I'm trying to learn. I know that this is one of the reasons I have been scorned, cast aside, and this happens to other younger users, too. I know I've copied people because I didn't know what else to do, and I'm sorry. I've seen that I have been trying to earn myself respect, to be the equal of older users, I'm sorry for this. I know I shouldn't have done it, because you will always be above me, I will always be below. I have tried to get my ideas accepted, but they come from me, and are rightfully regarded as rubbish. Maybe it would be easier to start again, but I've begun now and I can't turn back. All I can do is try to reconcile, not that I ever had many friendships, but to make more if I can, if my presence will be accepted, to say sorry for all I've said and done. I understand it's hard to be friends with me because I'm not on much, only a few times a day. I have argued for my honor, my thoughts, even if I am in the wrong. I know I shouldn't have and I am ashamed of my impulsive actions. I am sorry for them. I know I've been selfish. I apologize, I should never have acted that way. I am not trying to ask anything of you. All I want to do is let you know I'm sorry. I am not asking for forgiveness, that is a price to high, a privilege I will never earn. I will never deserve it. Once I had high dreams, and now I am trying my best to return to reality. I would act for the better if it was in my capability, but when I have tried it turns out badly, I think it may be better for me to stay out of those situations. If you don't like my presence in this thread where you can see me, I will leave it.
I am truly sorry for all I have said and done wrong.
