Every member does matter. See my response to shairn above.
It's not that no one goes here, it's that it's only frequented by users who have something to say about the state of the forum. This is the appropriate place for this topic. I'd hate to see the kind of spam we come up with if this were in Beta - Survival Mode forum.
It's kind of like when you want an opinion on how good your 20 lb cut of steak is. You could throw it in the shark tank at the aquarium, and they'd definitely be attracted to it. They'd be swarming all over it! But if you want a good, quality opinion, you take it to the chefs.
I'm not saying it doesn't belong here it's just that if it were in a more populated part of the forum more people would see the discussion happening and chime in. Yes you'd get more useless posts but you would also get more intelligent posts. I've seen several posts be redirected here and I think that it shows people would be happy to put their 2 cents in, if they only knew it was happening.
I'm sure they would be, but we're not going to advertise the thread everywhere because it's just unnecessary. You're welcome to put it in your signature and go post (read: not spam) in the Survival forum to hopefully garner attention. Outright advertising, as in any case, will be removed and warned for, though.
I am ashamed of you kaliber
The way you talk to the people who are working to make your experience here a good one is despicable.
And I thought you said you wouldn't be posting in this thread any more?
I just got back to this discussion and this is an old quote but directed at me so I'll respond.
You're ashamed of me lol?....Oh wait you're serious let me laugh even harder.
What a joke, you made a post for the sole purpose of calling me a ****,but I'm the one who talks to people in a despicable way? Hillarious!
Also once again you manage to fail at simple reading comprehension I said I would no longer respond to piratebay and I haven't. Also do you actually think I care what you think...not in the slightest.
Edit: Something else I've noticed about the mods is that they come in here with their great argument...the members tear said argument apart showing how ridiculous it is. They disappear after knowing full well that us REGULAR members have actually read this thread and destroyed their so called arguments.
Except trunskbomb honestly he's the only one that keeps coming back and trying to add something relative instead of saying we don't know what we are talking about or we didn't think about anything we've said for the last 12 pages. Like I said he's the only who's at least trying.
This is just childish. Get some respect.
All you people, bar one or two, have done is make strawman or ad hominem replies. All of the arguments from the ops side are riddled with logical fallacies, invalidating you argument.
The topic has been discussed ad nauseum.

Do you even read your own posts? All you've done is insult people and parrot the mods points adding nothing yourself.
Ad hominem replies? Only from you calling people childish and me a ****. since you can't attack the ideas you attack the people. Strawmen? Please point them out, because it doesn't mean what you think it means.
An I'd love for you to point all the logical fallacies and logical inconsistencies.

You know what? I "double-dog dare" you (since I'm childish since I agree with OP since I am a human) to point out every post that had "logical fallacies", explain how they have it, and point out every major "strawman & hominem replies".
Don't say "You're just an idiot for disagreeing with me. I don't have to answer you". Give actual proof with a straight-forward reply, or else, you'll have to give me a lollypop and say "im a girl" in class! Because I'm childish and that's what I say!
Seriously, however, you're no better then the imaginary people you're describing. Almost every post you've made here is an insult or parrot. If you actually provide unedited, uncensored proof to back up what you've said, you'll win 2 tokens and I'll listen to what you have to say.
Don't say "You're just an idiot for disagreeing with me. I don't have to answer you"
You're taking your own de-railing and borderline-flaming discussion out of context to prove a point, as atokniro never said that. Please stay on-topic and discuss with well manners from now on.
Agreed. I only really read the first post in this thread, but I literally can't even read a thread without seeing someone receiving a warning from Piratebay. It makes me hesitant to even post in most threads.
Whenever I try to post an image using the image tags, it says "click here to view image" in my post. But I've seen others posting images and am sad panda.
I'm sure this is just a small mix up with the forum or something, so if someone could fix this for me I'd greatly appreciate it.
That's not related to the topic at hand, but it's the image whitelist we've implemented. Only those hosts which are on the whitelist will have pictures that show up- all others will be a text link. You can submit hosts in the Whitelisting thread here in Forum Discussion.
I'd have to agree with OP, for the most part. Well its nice seeing all the garbage get locked, the threads that actually start to take off and get on-topic replies with a decent discussion (Like 1.4 threads) don't need to be locked.
Locking a hot-topic thread like, a new release or update, only promps people who want to discus such a thing create a topic to voice their opinion. They can't really help it if there isn't a topic to post in. Look at it in perspective. User A creates a thread discussing the new update. Several responses later, its locked. User B sees this, and wants to chip into the discussion, but cant because User A's thread is locked. User B creates another thread to talk about it, and its locked. User C repeats User B's actions, and now you've got more threads.
I do understand they there is now a sticky about it, but a day or two ago I saw a locked thread with a mod edit of: Do not discus upcoming updates. Why not though? Its talking about Minecraft, and isn't spamming anything.
Another problem I do have is locks without explanation. I understand, being a moderator on another site, it is tiresome to edit or reply to every thread about why it was locked, but it is kinda lazy and doesn't help new users who don't understand the exact concept of what is spam/ off-topic and what isn't.

I never said he said that. I've read well through this thread and I was just interpreting what he might reply if he wasn't willing to respond cooperatively. If you could show some parts where I used bad manners I'll apologize and remove them from the statement, thanks.

We generally try to add a reason to our locks. If you feel like one is lacking, PM a moderator about it so we know.
We locked update threads because there were already ongoing discussions about the update going on, and we didn't need more.
Agreed. I only really read the first post in this thread, but I literally can't even read a thread without seeing someone receiving a warning from Piratebay. It makes me hesitant to even post in most threads.
Since you only read the first post I'll let you know it's been discussed a lot.
Unfortunately nothing will be done about it, so get used to it.

Ill start right here.
Your own logic says that me agreeing with the mods here makes me a parrot. But look at the other posts in this thread, you are all saying the same thing.
And if you did not notice, I said posters, not posts. As in not every post by everyone in this thread contains a fallacy. Not to mention I was calling Kailber's quoted post childish, not you or any one person.
Nice logic in your quoted post. As for the rest of the fallacies I see glaring at me, I'm not sure that the mods would appreciate me going through and calling out every fallacy I see glaring out at me. The post would look like a solid wall of text stretching the page for starters.
We only need one set of warnings. A violation is a violation is a violation, no matter how you slice and dice it. Constantly having a negative attitude, flaming, spamming, and being outright rude and disrespectful to other users- including mods- is downright atrocious. Piratebay did the right thing in this situation.
I agree with this.It really annoys me. What's the point of having a whole "Beta - Survival Mode" forum if everything's just supposed to go in the pictures/videos thread?
In actual fact I think there should be a creations sub-forum.

Kaliber, if you DO want to make an impact on the moderation here, I suggest you act less immature and more like an adult. Acting immature will get you nowhere.

EDIT:
I can PM or email you if you like
And about my warnings: I warn people for breaking the rules, nothing more.
You know what this means right? Another long thread attacking you personally.
This forum really could do with a mod sass rule that warns separately from the other warnings, it would avert so much pointless squabbling and drama
In actual fact I think there should be a creations sub-forum.
