gg Simo! The first idea I have to clean things up around here is lay down the law. I am like you. been here for a while and come here only to help people trying to learn to mod or to release or get ideas on my own mods. heres a list that may help.

1. Make sure it is understood that the modders that post here are posting here to give thier hard work out to other people FOR FREE! Stop all the name calling and viscious reviews. If the post or tip isnt constructive in any way shape or form. then it should not be posted in the first place.

2. Remove the people who come here only to flame and start arguments. They are doing noone any good and in the end always look stupid for thier efforts.

3. Have all the people that have been around for a while meet in a chat room or on a messenger service and discuss with them the need to be an example to follow. If the Vets act like children then the new people will too.

4. DO NOT give absolution to ANYONE. if they screw up, regardless of the fact that they are a freind. then warn them or punish them in the same manner you would anyone else. Can't play favorites or it will get out of hand with some people. Weve all seen it happen with previous moderators.

thats about all I can think of right now. maybe it will help.

great post deleto.
imo innoxx ruined this forum with his recolors thread. MMS is mostly skinning, and if someone works hard at their skin i think they deserve thier own thread, call me crazy oOo:

i have deleted some of the old regimes posts and i will be on flame war watch from now on, hopefully with the 2 expansions coming out it will breathe life back into this place.

questions, comments, concerns? drop me a line

Here's a few from a TMT/Mohaa vet.

Trouble is, with most skinning done from what I've seen, it's mostly just paying lip service to an existing skin. Real talent would lay in making one from scratch.

Of course same goes for modeling too, and maybe if a couple of people use the same thread to advertise their new work in progress would be better off posting in one thread, and posting any updates in the same, instead of making a hundred, and not getting pissed if noone replies. If no-one's interested, bumping it will not increase their interest.

And for fuck's sake, stop arguing with the mods. It's their site.

Well, you asked for my opinion so I am gonna express it. Please do not flame me for what I am going to say.

1. I believe that the main problem with this place is, everyone tries to be a hard ***. Everyone wants to OWN this place, if you know what I mean? If people would just let Bull**** post go, then there would be ALOT less flamming and closed threads because of it. Just dont listen to people that trash, and IMO the moderators, need to be moderators and not bossy lil punks that think they can control someone. The thing the moderators have to understand is, this is a forum on the internet for a Game I CHOSE to spend my money on and buy. Well, then why do I have to come here and sit through totrure and have to file through flamming and closed threads just to get to a usefull thread? It isn't right.

2. Mods need to just STOP BEING AN ***! Dont boss us around like it is being done. It just CAUSES more problems.....want an example? Well here is 2, the thread entitled "Totally AGREE" was posted by a guy named DeadlySiner. He was simply expressing his viewpoints towards this forum, and yet the first words out of a moderators mouth was "jesus h christ shut your fucking trap" by Strik0r. Now why was he like that? Because he has SOME power and he abuses it. If a moderator wanted to close it, he could have been alot nicer about it. Cmon little kids browse these forums too. I dont want my little brother to come here and see fowl language such as that.

3. Moderators need to be rethought, the ones that exist now are not fit for the job, they need to be flushed out. Not saying you Simo, seeing as I do not know how you mod yet, but your starting out in a kick *** way by asking us, thanks.

Thanks for your time and I wont be suprised if I get flammed, but I dont care anymore you asked I answered.

The only problem i have here is the stupid people that cant accept othes laying down loads of work on what they think is good, just to be flamed for it here. And its not just the regular members that stand for the flaming, but the so called "moderators" do aswell. As for now, the only one locking threads and keeping the law in here (M/M/S), is Zoner.
So welcome Simo, and i know your gonna do a betta job than those other "modders". biggrin:

MPowell1944 · 08-14-2003, 08:57 AM

Simo, if you are really serious about this, then more power to you.

1. Remove dumbass wasteful threads.
2. Boot dumbass flamers and those who taunt others.
3. Re-organize the forum. It so out of whack.
4. Get Strik0r out of office. Banned is what he should have stayed.

Good luck.

patton13 · 08-14-2003, 11:39 AM

Look.

1. Stop with Callin People n00bs. This is a place to exhibit work not for a dick messuring contest.

2. Find Mature mods.

3. GET Strik0r out! Im mean he even mockes this Site in his sig.

4. BANN ANYONE WHO GETS OUT OF LINE AS OF A CERTAIN DATE.

Of course Im just a crazy n00b. WTF do I know?

DeadlySiner · 08-14-2003, 11:39 AM

Well when i first came here it was a good lace to LEARN and get some GREAT mods from great ppl. Then after a while it became a place to just argue ect ect

1. The mods seem to be the MAIN problem (Not all the mods but im sure u know who im talking about) First if the mods didnt act the way they did then the other members wouldnt. Second half the ppl here dont play or contribute to mohaa in ANY way, So why come here just to flame so called nOObs EVERYONE was a noob at one point in time why is it that someone just got into gaming cant come here and get help You guys think the CN team just woke up one day and could mod like they can now. Also every time someone skins something its not ripping they are just trying to learn how to yeah it is great when someone does something from scratch but how are they suppose to learn quit with the credits ESPECIALLLY if they are just posting pics you have absolutly no idea if they havent gave proper credits as far as u know it could be in the readme so at least wait until the dl is releases and when they say "Hey i just started skinning and this is my first skin" then give them some contructive criticism not just say STFU noob. Any way i could go ON an ON but thats about it for now

GOOD LUCK WITH THE REVIVIAL of AA.com

Oh yeah we do need to clean up the forums they are kind of slow sometimes I know they have a feature in the setup for auto pruning maybe set it to like 90 days So that after 90 days of no post in that thread it will be deleted also need to check some of the pinned topics i looked at the bryce tut the other day and all the pics are gone if a tut is going to be pinned like that i know its not the mods job but maybe they should host those pics on aa.com so that they will always be there just some ideas

Simo Häyhä · 08-14-2003, 01:10 PM

ok i see the main problems here
1) bad moderators
2) Flamming

i will work my best to get rid of these 2 elements here. and maybe add something like Skin of the week or Map of the week

DeadlySiner · 08-14-2003, 01:17 PM

Great, glad to hear that

patton13 · 08-14-2003, 01:24 PM

Simo. If you can fix the faults of this place you'll be my hero. angel:

stungun02278 · 08-14-2003, 02:04 PM

organization is a big problem too.

seperate into Spearhead and Allied Assault, make a skins forum and a map forum, together is jus strange, maybe a scripting forum, TMT has a nice setup and yes dispose of the holier then thou jerk offs and flamers who frequent these boards cool:

imported_Grim_Reaper · 08-14-2003, 02:22 PM
