[QUOTE="Synthia"][QUOTE="scorch-62"]Unions 2.0 will never happen, as much as anyone would ever like it to. The support just isn't there anymore.sexyweapons

I always love how sure people sound when they say these kinds of things :P. While I can't physically prove it unions are something that is a topic frequently under discussion.

Then why isn't anything done?Its been 6 years and theirs been no major updates,unions could greatly improve the popularity of the site!I am leader of a union but I'm really struggling to make a mark for myself and I fear my union will die after all some of the biggest unions on gamespot are dead

Great question, but I only have insight in regards to the situation since I've been a GameSpot employee (which happened in April of 2011). And ever since seeing the state they were in I've been mentioning it at every community meeting I've been in. But again, I can see how after 6 years of neglect union fans and leaders alike would simply see this as lip service. If that is what you want to think I clearly can't stop you, and you can continue to say that no one cares, and that nothing will be done but that won't stop me from campaigning for a union upgrade. And while many unions have gone with the wind (which is very unfortunate) I hope that when something changes we will see new ones created and old ones returned.

Not sure how I feel about this...

People get banned for breaking the rules... but if they are popular are allowed back due to popular demand... so if I get banned I'm out of luck huh?

Well, with the new TOU being what it is you would really have to be saying something illegal or be posting something that is totally out of line to get banned.

I dunno, something about it irks me... like be playing by the rules, and being moderated for silly things and all the time I held my tongue or stopped coming here because I couldn't post the way I wanted to...

And then other people get let back in after they decided to rub the system the wrong way? Get personal with mods and stuff. Bah!

Well as mentioned in phase 3 allowing banned accounts back isn't by any means a new thing, we're just extending the invitation at this point. Some users were banned for things like "Trolling after final warning" when all they did was call another user a hypocrite.

The thing I really hate about SOPA (other than the whole point of it) is that it was started by MY representative. :xDrAwesomeMD

You mean the guy who forgot to ask permission to use the image on his campaign home page?

So we've seen a great many pop culture references made in the show what are some of your favorites? 

Next to the Star Wars one from S2: Ep2 I have to say this bit from the new episode will be pretty sweet (No pun intended but possible spoilers ahoy!)

Actually SW IS one of the only forums that we encourage users "duking it out" If you direct your attention to the rules of the various boards you'll see that there are 4 to 5 board rules. For example:

Primary Games Discussion:

- Follow theTerms of Useandread the FAQ.
- Be respectful and you'll be respected in return.
- No discussion of illegal activities.
- Cross-Platform debates belong in the System Wars forum

Off TopicForum Rules:

- Follow theTerms of Useand read theFAQ.
- Game and platform discussions NOT allowed.
- Keep the discussions work friendly. More details in the FAQ.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions.
- Hate speech not permitted.

The platform forums also have their rules sets as well.

Spamming is also not something that we are permitting.

Also it's important to keep in mind that it is possible to ignore other users. The idea behind the new ToU focuses on the ability for users to be able to self moderate. If you see there is a troll topic, don't post in it because all that does is bump it higher in the queue.

Also I'm going to make this VERY CLEAR!

If you have a problem with the current policy PLEASE PM ME! Seriously!! I know some of you have already sent me some private messages about your concern in regards to the new TOU but by all means keep those messages coming. We do want to listen to the community and we are aware that changes need to be made. But first we need to find that balance.

SO AGAIN!

If you want to see change feel free to PM me, or send an email to Synthia@gamespot.com. Add me on Steam even! I'm here to help you guys, not ignore you. The more support for change the more likely it is that it will happen. Make blogs marked as editorial about what changes you dislike and how you would like to see things changed. Simply saying "I don't like this" isn't nearly as helpful as some might thing. Offer up your suggestions because otherwise a vague and glib interpretation of your vision for the site will only result in more deliberation about rules for forums.
