    Re: What in the world is going on here at OS....

    Yeah, I don't think I'm in the "elite" of OS, but I've been around for awhile and I think this year is worse than any other. People are just going crazy. At times its funny, but mostly its just annoying and clutters the board.
    I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

      I think word is really starting to get around that EA devs are visiting the site on a regular basis and thats what makes this year a little crazier than previous years. And as long as the devs stick around, it wont surprise me if a lot of these newbies do as well.

        What if we had a subforum for EA Devs, and limit it to a certain post count, years joined or donator?

          Gotta agree. The problems are for three reasons: 1) The EA devs are hear and that leads to more people from the other boards (like EA and IGN) coming here. 2)I think there are less mods or fewer mods around regularly to mod the NCAA and Madden forums. I could be wrong about that though. 3)Posts arent being moved to the correct section. There are a large number of posts that are online, slider or roster related that are in the main forum and not being moved to the sub forums and it cause clutter in the main forum.

          One solution is to limit all contact with the Devs to designated threads and pms. That should eliminate the "OMT! I have a problem."

            I'm so sick of people demanding an answer from them. They don't get that the devs don't have a responsibility to answer any of these questions, or even be here. People on here, only the new people, are huge a**holes! IMHO they don't deserve to be here and interect with the devs. They don't respect the privlege and ruin it for the people that do.

              I blame EA. Stop marketing towards the casual player and the games and thus this forums will be amazing.

                They tried that with the stickied OMT q and a thread. People still made OMT!!! I'm having issues with -------- Please Help!! threads anyway. I think the main problem here is that people just don't read. Countless times have I seen a person say in a 50 page thread say that they aren't skimming through them. YOU DON'T HAVE TO there is a search function. Or asking about something that a dev says or asking a question. READ THE FIRST POST FOR THE ANSWER then ask if it's not there. And first and foremost Search for a thread that has what your looking for before you start one.

                      I'm just wondering where the Friday Morning News is. I don't feel like my day has started until Steve posts those links.

                          Then the mods have to step in and lock them. After a while people will get the point.

                            I feel for the mods...lately they've been getting destroyed on the forums. I dont necessarily agree with some of the locks they've institued, but they're getting torn to shreds by the noobs.

                            One example is posters comin over from the 2k forum and posting in the Madden thread just to state negative things about Madden (when they obviously havent played it) only to get their thread locked...then going back to the 2k forum and complaining about the totalitarian and tyrannical rule of the mods. While I do agree with some of the points being made by said posters, the mods are in a difficult situation to keep some semblance of what makes this forum great...

                            Its the old damned if you do damned if you dont thing...

                              I really think they should ban people quicker, if thats what it takes. I really don't want OS to go down the drain in a few years.
                              I don't like the Yankees, I like the Red Sox, I don't like the Lakers, I like the Celtics, I hate the Canadiens and I love the Bruins. Soccer is the best sport on Earth, but most Americans are too ignorant to realize it. I am American.

                                Yeah but then they would have to ban both the person that just messed up and the person that needs to be gone. I think that if they were to do that they should review their posts before hand and determine how "quality" of a poster they are. If they are quality they get an infraction and if they aren't they get banned.
