Swearing and "wit" in news posts

[Stereotypical Villain]

Cleverly changing the names of games to involve words like "ass" "derp" and "dick" is one thing, but now the news are starting to contain words such as "buttfuck" and other such things. Perhaps it is time that Ventilator learned to restrict that kind of talk to the forums so that people who are dumb enough to visit the Codex for our awesome news won't think that we're a bunch of juvenile dumbfucks...

My two cents.

 

[Gay-Lussac]

More like Stereotypical Turd amirite? Yeah, I'm fucking right.

 

[Malakal]

Agree with OP even if he is a faggot.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

moar liek Sterassdickical herp-a-derp-a Turd amiriter?

now the news are starting to contain words such as "buttfuck" and other such things.

I find one news item with "buttfuck" but can't find "other things"?

But what if Ventilator is right though and the people do look buttfuck ugly? Don't we then, as a prestigious RPG news site, have a moral obligation to report accurately on that fact?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

This coming from you and yet I don't have a special tag. You douchebag.

Seriously though, it's in the archives and I've no real problem with the words themselves... but the bad PR they produce... yeah, people will think it's more like RPGChan instead of Codex.

 

[Zed]

I agree with SV.

 

[DraQ]

I'm all for witticisms as long as they consist of proper wit.
Stuff like Alpha Prototurd does not qualify.

 

[SoupNazi]

Things like "butthurt", "turd" and other creative ways to insult people, developers and games are what brought me to Codex in the first place. That and the thread with SMA's porn pics on Retardo Land.

I count three whiny faggots so far. We are what we are. Shouldn't pretend to be what we're not. Fuck their opinions anyway.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

The news posts used to be without this kind of needless attention whoring bullshit a year and a half ago... and then suddenly VentilatorOfShit starts spewing a bunch of inane crap.

How can the codex be "prestigious" when the person in charge of the news posts stuff which I'd expect to see from some 13 year old who reviews games through facebook?

But then again, you were always a bit of an attention whore yourself, Dicksmoker.

 

[MetalCraze]

And that's totally because of news titles

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

General Discussion is a cesspit, but that is hardly the core of the site.

Skyway has yet again produced an invalid argument.

 

[MetalCraze]

/gd/ - 14340 threads 507818 posts (that's not counting retardo'ed threads)

GRPGD a.k.a. the second biggest subforum - 7527 threads 308140 posts

Why you are absolutely correct, good sir

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

So why not call it the "General Discussion Codex" or just merge with 4chan? The fact is that this site's main function is to discuss GAMES, but we're digressing from the point at hand...

It may not be up to me, but I'd like to at least pretend that we're not a shitty clone of 4chan now a days.

Hey, did you know that anyone and everyone can post news? One thing I'd recommend for you is to become a poster yourself and then you can bring your prestigious and infallible wit to the front page for some serious incline.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

No way man. I'm a socialist, I'm used to having other people doing all the work for me.

Huh? Didn't we have this discussion again and again even in the VD era of more than 4 years ago?

We need moar swearwords in the news posts. It seems to be the only way to keep 2010 at bay. 2009 is already losing it.
Do your duty, VOD

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

HEY HEY HEY! I lurked for one year before I joined... bastards.

And I would also like to inform you that I am currently intoxicated and my super aspergers makes me super serious when drunk, which resulted in this topic.

But anyway... I'm just voicing my opinion, that's all.

Give up, bro. We've embraced the 4chan fully, there's nothing left to do but go full wackee. I know it seems scary, but once you've taken the leap, you'll find wackeeness to be a peaceful oasis of calm on the far side of the violent river of sanity.

 

[mondblut]

The subjects of those newsposts do not deserve any coverage on the prestigious magazine either way. If they are mentioned at all, I'd rather see them humiliated.

 

[madbringer]

He should maybe tone down on swearing, but i like the witty interjections and comments. Don't kid yourself, nobody would be fooled by proper and PC'ish newsposts, one glance at the actual forums would dispel any illusion created by them.

 

[spekkio]

Nobody reads VoD's newsposts anyway.
