Decline the codex has scaled to the world's level

[ERYFKRAD]

I've looked at the threads of the Codex's past and have not been impressed by them.

Didn't realise making you the Steam Curator also made you Post Curator.

It's basically a bunch of one-liners, the sort of which just goes directly to Shoutbox these days. Those threads aren't as necessary anymore because we have Shoutbox and other outlets.

Like seriously dude, how many of those buggers even use the Shoutbox.

I like the new Codex, which is (or at least, should be) defined by the ability to say things like "Man, this game's combat system must have been designed for CASUAL FAGGOTS because X" or "This game's story FUCKING SUCKS because Y", where X and Y are lengthy, insightful explanations.

Except anybody who's so inclined to give lengthy explanations is gonna do it anyway, no one stopped that shit ever.

Fuck off if it were up to you Roxors 'ridiculous' Pillars review would never have been published which does exactly that.

Jeez, is this the day you ascend to godhood or something? The amount of self important bullshit you're spewing per sentence is astounding.

Wasn't the whole point behind being able to ignore people that you could decide for yourself who is and who isn't a shitposter?

Worrying about derailment, giving people tags etc seems to have more to do with how the codex is perceived by the outside world than the users. Poor MCA doesn't have an ignore list so is exposed to all kinds of stuff that horrifies him and sees stupid posts by users who he could possibly consider to be valued members of the codex community because there's no tag saying they aren't, so he'll never come to the codex, sad emoticon.

I've been out of the loop for a while, what's going on? Did codex go full rpg.net or something?

There's either been a prank by the administration where Politics has briefly become a safe place where the most egregious racist content is getting deleted, and the mods laugh at users for thinking this was a permanent change, or there's been a meta-prank where politics actually has become a safe space where the most egregious racist content is getting deleted and the mods are laughing at people for thinking it's really just a prank.

Inshillitron: "Stupid goyim, stop interfering our IGN-ization plans. Mods know better what's good for the site than you stupid children, Codex was shit before me anyway."

 

[Excidium II]

Historically, the best thing codex staff has always done is nothing.

 

[Somberlain]

GAS THE MODERATORS - FORUM WAR NOW

 

[Excidium II]

Get rid of all mods that treat their status as anything but free patron.

 

[Arch-Vile]

Solution is clear. Ban Infinitron.

The Final Solution.

 

[Somberlain]

We need Einsatzgruppe Codex.

 

[Ulminati]

I remember when codex threads would get deraild a dozen times in their lifetime. With your policy this generation will never know what's a memorable thread

"Man the codex sucked before INFI came along" - fucking nobody

Infinijew wants you to post walls of text. His sole reason for being here is so he can copypaste shit into the news section, and oneliners are no good for that. Now go do his bidding peasant.

 

[Llama-Yak Hybrid]

For every jcd, hivemind, tyranosaurus rex and such, we also got a felipepepe, deucetraveller, Llama-Yak Hybrid, vaultdweller and dozens of indie developers who actually add really valuable insight about rpgs to this page

Fix'd it a little.

I still don't understand what's the problem with internet nazis, necros, short 2-3 post long derails that got preventively retardoed, people disagreeing with established consensus etc. etc. etc.

 

[mondblut]

Okay, I see it now.

I am normally very distant from the "all moderators are bastards, down with the man, power to teh people" plebs, but the control-freakishness of certain individuals by now must warrant medical intervention. Anyone willing to wade into hundreds of hundred-page threads and shuffle and merge and move around messages needs help. If you are so obsessed with keeping something immaculate and clean, get a job as a janitor in McDonalds.

They are a problem for people who are so butthurt and sensitive about "wrong opinions" that even the ability to create their own custom safe space with ignore function is not enough. And staff members who want to make this site's image friendlier and less offensive for shilling purposes.

I warned you, I warned you all about shilltron long time ago but now it might be too late.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

I blame Infinitron. Codex going down the toilet etc.

 

[Hegel]

Splendid thread, I agree with every post of this communiqué.

 

[Zarniwoop]

[Lore] Isn't this how the Codex got started in the first place?

I mean, the tale is lost to the mists of time but didn't a few brave souls break away from NMA when some shitmod(s) "wanted it to be more professional", "stop scaring away developers" and basically make it a safe space back in Anciente Tymes when "social networking" meant actually fucking talking to people, and "triggered" was something you did to a trap in a game, usually an RPG?

 

[racofer]

All of this has happened before at the Codex. We apparently haven't learned our lessons.

There is only one way this ends:

May the Vault Dweller be with you.

 

[Space Insect]

To me, the Codex has always been uncompromising. It did not compromise with Bethesda. It did not compromise with Bioware. To suggest that it should begin being purged in order to be more "appealing" and "professional" is a heresy of the highest order.

We might as well get rid of the tagline "Doesn't scale to your level" for claiming that we are uncompromising still would be a lie. Amd now you wish to lower our high ideals in order to make ourselves more appealing, more open to devs posting. The Codex did not scale to Gaider's level when he left. It did not scale to the Beth dev's level when they left. We should not scale to any of these devs that Infinitron so wishes to befriend.

Remove all mods who seek to implement level scaling on the Codex!
