Topic: Games / F.E.A.R. is an unknow game?

I enjoyed both F.E.A.R. and Crysis. Not the best games in the world, but certainly provided recreation time for me. I try not to follow the modern game critic trend and expect perfection.

Topic: Programming / [Kongregate API] AS3 API Integration

Why do you need a progress event listener for the API?

Topic: Programming / Flash game that can get user stats from Kongregate?

The documentation for the AS3 API tells you what user info you can retrieve:

Topic: Off-topic / [game] Games trivia!!!

Right. You could keep deleting your posts and this would continue. If you put all your questions into your first post and deleted all the other ones except for say 5 pages to the end you would cut away around 20 pages.

Uh, no. Being sneaky like that is completely inconsiderate towards other users and would end up getting a thread locked early.

Topic: Serious Discussion / Off Topic

Fun killer basically.

Maybe it kills your fun, but your fun kills discussion and fun for the rest of the community. If we have to choose between good fun for a larger, more mature part of the community or childish fun for a half dozen spammers who have no intent to follow moderator direction; well the choice should be obvious.

Plus, you all are responsible for killing the fun, not anyone else. I’ve said it many times, things get closed and banned because you don’t know when to stop or how to keep it clean. You’re the fun killers, since the rest of us could be having fun too if you didn’t abuse so many things and destroy so many threads.

Topic: Art / Graphics Design Team Wars

If you’re going to be a jerk to other people about your group, we’ll close your thread. Is that what you want?

Groups and threads for the groups are fine as long as they are constructive. If you use them to try and make others feel bad, they are not ok.

This forum is not for team wars and put downs. You’re making your own group look bad from these comments you’ve been leaving around here.

Topic: Kongregate / Most Posts

Oh and I would have the most (3000 deleted).

You’re making the blind assumption that I’ve never had posts deleted :)

Plus you keep changing your deleted number to something that I don’t think is accurate.

This is why I hate these threads and counts. Mils did the same thing as RMcD. He even thought it made him the best forum member and put him above others, or something to that extent.

Topic: Off-topic / Everyone who has posted in this thread has been suspended.

Honestly; if any of you think it’s just starting now, you’re being naive.

That was not the first time. It’s been going on for awhile; I’m just increasing how vocal I am about it since some people are either not intelligent or refuse to follow the terms.

Topic: Off-topic / The point of Off-topic?

Off-topic = uncategorized topics for discussion.

It does not mean a place for spam or garbage. It does not mean you stray from the thread topic. Just like every other forum is meant for constructive discussion, off topic is meant for discussion that can’t be categorized in the other existing forums.

Topic: Off-topic / ####

Everyone who has posted in this thread has been suspended. You’ve all been reminded a lot lately and have more than burned through your warnings. Read the stickies and start using some sense.

Topic: Off-topic / Fun Killer AlisonClaire Kills Fun: why she be drinkin da h8rade yo?

To reiterate this point again and add to the comments:

When someone posts inappropriate content, show some sense by reporting the post and ceasing to bump the thread until its resolved. If you did that, you could have kept your threads. But since you make the poor choice, you end up messing things up. Every single time these situations have been blown, it’s because it was pushed and pushed. You guys take funny things and turn them into stupidity and immaturity and blow the fun for yourself as well as everyone else. You ignore moderator direction, which is pretty foolish as well.

When someone breaks the rules, a smart person learns to be hands off and not get involved. Some of you have yet to understand that.

Memes and the like have a funny basis. But they become very unfunny when mindless kids who can’t show their own originality parrot them to the end of time. It’s not funny when you do that. You are not being witty or original in any way. Don’t be like MadTV: learn when enough is enough.

Topic: Off-topic / Reminder about obvious spam threads

Thanks for bringing this up.

A few members seem to have the inability to read notices and take warnings. I don’t understand why so many fail to comprehend all of this. That said, you are all pushing for stricter enforcement around here and that means more bans have been going through.

It’s a shame really, since I like to err on the lenient side. But many like to ignore what they are asked and abuse their freedoms, so you’re all losing that leniency. You complain about your bans, but you are all responsible for the stricter enforcement in the first place. So you guys can make the choice to follow the rules and enjoy your time here, or ignore them and abuse the situation until you make it very unpleasant for yourself.

The more you all push it, the less you will be allowed to do. You will be silenced/banned and so will your alts. You will start receiving less chances. It’s stupid, really.

Topic: Off-topic / The Musical: oh god why do you hate me aC ;_;

What part of bans do you not understand? If you continue to avoid your bans, all of them will continue to be renewed and your new accounts will be banned on the spot. If it goes further, your accounts will be put into the permaban request area. If that happens, any new account by you will be auto-permabanned.

I suggest you follow the rules and take the rest of your ban off. Avoiding it and flaunting it only is going to make it more troublesome for yourself; for no reason at all. It could be easy, you just seem to like making it hard on yourself.

Topic: Programming / [Kongregate API] Statistics/Challenges

The AS2 API already runs over your game, so you don’t need to compile anything extra.

The AS3 API requires that you either load the API manually or compile a component in it. Please see all the related threads for all the info you need on this.

Topic: Off-topic / RE: Reporting Posts

is there any way to make it so that users can report multiple users for a particular thing

Put a few users names in the user box or add the other names in the “other” box. Text in the “other” box at the bottom will always come through, even if you don’t select the “other” option. People already do this and it works fine for what we need.

or even multiple links where a particular user has done something against the ToS/Behavior Guidelines?

Use the “other” box for extra links or send the link to the users recent posts instead of a thread.

I think that would lessen the amount of reports you have to read through as well as make things easier for users to report.

Related reports often get grouped and it actually can help by indicating the user is repeatedly doing something.

Topic: Off-topic / Question to mods

Well it would be a little pointless to make threads about how someone hit 1000 points or something like that even if it wasn’t going overboard.

Topic: Off-topic / Question to mods

Making a thread about a really high achievement or kong milestones is one thing; it’s when a lot of people start doing it that it becomes spam. If everyone started posting threads about their menial point accomplishments (omg 1337 points!), it would start spamming up the forum and would need to be stopped.

As with a lot of things, they become spam because people overdo it.
