3dfx Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Yeah, Im the responsable on this. I started the thread but not with the idea of criticize Neowin.net, I only want to know what people thought about how Neowin.net has been lately. I think the options were clear and I think I represented what people think about. Personally I used to like Neowin.net. Please dont start a flame war on this thread, I only want to say this. If a moderator read this and if he/she wants to close it, no problem, but let people gets informed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM5K Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I think there is a line between discussion and derrogatory comments, I just saw the thread as a thread from someone (like myself) unhappy with where Neowin was going, and wanted to get the opinions of other members of a diffrent community, where people might feel more open to discuss Neowin.

Jessterw Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Well said 3dfx, it seems Neowin, and for that matter most tech/nerd/whatever oriented news/forums communities, are lacking members like you. I for one hope Neowin can can move past all this mess, as well as NeoNerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted March 26, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 26, 2002 I think it comes down to this: Problem: Neowin's members are not following guidelines put in place. (No Victimization or otherwise Hateful posts) Solution: Reenforce those rules either through increasing their verbosity or using reactionary measures such as banning and deleting posts. In terms of increasing the verbosity, a simple rules page would help. Possibly with hypothetical examples of bad postings and such. The problem is in minorty though. I read posts using the new posts list. 99% of what I see is civilzed discussion or Q&A on various computer problems. The few times people do post something crappy, people seem to take notice... I think it's just an ignore it and it'll go away. Ignore the bad stuff and it'll decline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM5K Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 I think you are right to some extent, but keep in mind one percent isn't much when you get 100 posts per day (1 person) but when you get 1000 it becomes 10 people, and when you get 1500 posts (I think that's how many Neowin gets) then we are talking about 15 Daily.
