The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Now I really didnt want to touch this subject again, but seriously this is becoming a joke.
I am referring to these very forum. In the recent months it became flooded with pointless spam and one word replies. Things totally got outof hand in the past 4 weeks or so. All decent topics were flushed down the list and they were replaced by things like "Can you wait for MGS2?". Maybe some of you regard these forums as a place to chat liek you would chat with your mates in school. Some use text language, things like brb gr8 and wot? Why that laziness?
I have been especially concerned with the fact that people who spend long times writing their topics simply do not get the credit they deserve. This is due to the relative lack of feedback from many of you. Once a person sees a long post, they think to themselves-"Nah I cant be bothered to read all that" abd start spamming.
Some of us even think that every long post is a GAD attempt and therefore does not reflect on the writer's feelings and emotions.
As Pro Evo said in the Longest Thread, many of people who are writing long, worth-a-read topics cannot be credited for anything just because seconds after a post is written it is beaten by hordes of MGS2 and GTA3 posts.
I do not want to be a big-head but to be honest in the last few weeks this forum only had 3-4 people post good posts that were actually interesting to read-Pro Evo, SSX Pro, Wookiee Monster and me. Now I am not trying to say my or anyone elses posts are sheer class, but I dont think anyone can argue that there has been hardly no people who posted long thought-provoking posts.
So could we just stop this spam and try and get this forum back ot its feet. AFter all this is one of the most-visited places on SR...And what kind of example are we setting here???
Anyway, I have spoken.....

I say that we all get together in the next few days, discuss our demands (sounds like a terrorist attack of some sort dont it) and then I could do a topic on the Customer Service forum and then see what happens. But we clearly need to outline the problem and what we are planning to do to solve it
Maybe a topic in the SR Customr servie forum ? But organised, not everyone starting tens of opics all saying the same thing. Someone shuld do the main part of the topicabout what we want, and then have a vote on it like they do for new notables ?
Nice to see this topic is still getting replies...As Pro Evo said that means that people still care about the forums and will want to do everything they can in order to stop the spam that the PS2 forum has been flooded with recently...
I like your ideas Jive...We should all get together and talk to SR abotu doing something about all this

your a fine one jive, a fine one you be!
I don't know who said this, it was probably in the original post and yes I know I should have reread it to double check.
SR really should put up some ideas for JATs, when I joined here 300+ days ago, I didn't post anything for the first 10 days or so......I just sat in the background reading posts, getting an idea of what to say or when to say it.
When I felt it was time to say something I did, funnily enough no-one slagged me off, threw me to the ground, beat me round the head with a baseball bat.....only because I made the effort to say something worthwhile.
I think I've made about 600+ posts altogether, that works out on average 2 a day for everyday I've been here. How people can post well written posts of 2000+ (I know they don't all have to be but you get my drift here) posts in 30 days is beyond me.......well actually it's not, just people spamming!

I hope so, but some of them mite just do it to spite those that don't like it or just do it because they are a bit dim take astrix for example. (bless him)

Anyway, if people read this topic and most of its replies they may get the jist that quite a few people have had enough of the state of things.

I don't know how SR would put this into practise, I can also see alot of people resisting this change.....I know that sometimes people do put up just one word replies but it all depends on the situation.
