'Evening SPUFpowered,
As of this hour, I feel it be in my responsibility to provide some insight to recent controversy. These are my honest thoughts..
When een first started SPUFpowered in January 2012, it was created as a refuge for Spuffers who wanted to hang out. The forum was to be a place for friends to chat without the hustle and clutter of the larger Steam Users' Forums. This place is not without a set of guidelines. Although we tend to follow said guidelines, we adopt an overly "lax" attitude. Simply put, we can't behave and the longer we've been here the more rambunctious and immature some people have become for the sake of "just friends being lax".
A closed circle of friends, where everyone knows everyone, can cause issues with forum management. Moderators are less likely to do their jobs because they're afraid they'll be shunned by a certain person. For example, if Rynjin suddenly becomes extremely hostile towards Razputin and starts up arguments with him at every corner, would Rammite be quick to punish him? Would Rammite fear being shunned by his friend because he did his job? Will others cry Stalin if he closes a cluster-mucked thread?* Any attempts at cleaning up messes and shutting people up results in accusations of dictatorship.
* = Example only, not actual implication of hostilities between users
As for Freaky Fetishes, it is simply a sign of immaturity on our end. I don't even know where to begin, it's creepy? Stupid? Immature? Filled with TMI posts? Responsible for chasing people off the boards? Gross and annoying? If such a thread was replicated on SUF, we'd all be banned or at least put in timeout. It has gone on for long enough and the shenanigans need to end soon. Any crying over it has to be ignored and taken as a sign of immaturity. Why did it even need to exist?
TL;DR
[*]Knock it off with the shenanigans and being immature dunces.
[*]
[*]Learn to respect others in the forum space by not posting perverted threads made to satisfy some suck boner fantasy
[*]
[*]Moderators, ignore the crying. If you feel a thread needs to go, take it down. Letting the "lax friends circles" attitude degrades the board.
[*]
[*]We've lost quite a few people recently because of how we act. I am not saying the Fetish thread was the cause, but it may have had it's part.
And now for my most stressed point regarding 18+ discussion:
[*]It's not necessary, those kinds of discussions simply don't need to exist. What would you do? Talk about porn? Argue about gays and abortion? Hardly mature with the member roster we have. It would end up causing more trouble than it would solve.

Why can't we just remove the Subterran Saloon/Fetish thread and be done with it?This is officially now more of a headache than it's worth.

I petition to change Hertz' title to "Goooone".

Now, I won't take a stance on this, so don't assume I'm for or against anything here, but this has always bugged me... If a man is "born that way", why didn't his genes make him a woman instead?Because as we all know, hating someone for how they were born is always the right thing!
-
I don't want a title, I want it gooone.

We should hold bi-weekly premeditated argument sessions to practice our debating skills.I don't think we should get into the gay marriage discussion here we have a subforum for that after all
-
To make things even more interesting, duel farmers still think they have something to show.does anyone still use dueling minigames? I had completely forgotten those things even exist

I got my old Vintage Timebreaker back! Bought a replacement, and used it in exchange for my old one after I tracked down the current owner! Yay.

The rocketjump has a low CD but takes quite the mana to use. It's percentage based on distance traveled.Wut.

Something tells me conventions aren't a place normal people would enjoy going to.Something tells me cube's never been to a convention.

Only the TF team would be okay promoting a site that hosts a variety of sick, disgusting things usually hound in 4Chan's NWS boards. Valve, the only company that can make incredible games yet make awful patches at the same time.

The entire thread feels like an 80's cult classic flick. Like Ferris' Buellers Day Off or the Breakfast Club.
