Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@kyleforrester87 You're welcome!

For £9.95 per month, I'll post daily compliments, just in case you're interested.

@Octane I'd actually be totally up for doing that once, just for a laugh.

@Octane yeah come on Octane I want my free trial

@kyleforrester87 Lol, I think the insults are free ... the compliments are held behind a paywall.

Free trial is locked behind an Octane+ sub.

Anyone else feel like Pushsqaure has been getting an abnormally large number of comments from non-regular users recently? Some of these comment sections have been crazy, with the more (sadly) normal internet coming out here.

@Jaz007
The more the merrier.
Open up guys. Just need to keep up on moderation (including on 'regular' users)

@Jaz007 i have noticed people making threads about things that have nothing to do with PlayStation or gaming

and some from someone who i think is trying to get info for modding his console but is hiding it by creating different threads asking different questions

@Jaz007 yeah, I have noticed the quality of users seems to have taken a bit of a nose dive in recent months. Guess it's par for the course with the sight becoming more popular? Plenty more flaming going on in the comments sections anyway. I'm finding myself reacting to it sometimes too haha.

@Jaz007 The Spider-Man puddle comments section was embarrassing. It's the sort of crap that stopped me using nintendolife.

@JJ2 It’s not that I’m not open, this place isn’t a clique and never should be, but the intelligence and respect level has gone down is the problem. More regular users who are respectful and think about what post are always welcome.

@mookysam Those were brilliant though! I enjoyed reading most of it

@mookysam The Firewall review was even worse. It’s comment section got closed down.

@Jaz007 It's actually still open.

I didn't read the review, so I had no idea what you were talking about, but reading through the comment section, I completely get where you're coming from. Reminds me of #katgate a while back.

Anyway, something I found funny about the review, I saw many people signing up and complaining it was too low compared to the Metacritic (as if that even matters ). So I went to check the Metacritic score and I found ''No score yet - based on 3 Critics'', there aren't even enough reviews for an average score on Metacritic lol.

@Octane Robert said they were closing it down at the last comment since the last few listed (now deleted) broke about every community we have apparently.

@FullbringIchigo If you see those comments, please report them as that is probably the best way that I notice them.

That goes for anyone if you see a comment or post that you feel.breaks community rules, spam etc. please report it. Sadly I am only one person and with my time split between a full time job, real life things and such I can't see every comment, post etc. this goes for Sammy and Robert as well. Also with me there is the time difference. Being 8 hours behind you guys does make it difficult at times too since your guys are getting up for the day as I am going to bed.

Yes we are growing and as such we will attract more unsavory characters it's just the nature of the beast with websites I am afraid but as I said you all can help maintaining this place in keeping it a friendly civil place on the web.

I will say while I can't check every post, comment etc. I do check the report log quite frequently so please if you see something wrong please use that report button.

@Kidfried I doubt most of those stick around. They just make an account to complain a bit and they're gone.

It's like the dozen of new users that sign up on NLife every day, just to make Pokemon GO friend request threads. They don't stick around either.

@Octane I don't know how you guys don't go nuts from having to close all those Pokemon Go FC threads. Honestly I am surprised Ant hasn't just added them to the spam filter so they would quit spamming.

@Tasuki It's just part of the daily routine at this point. Though the stickied and closed ''DON'T START A POKÉMON GO FRIEND CODE THREAD'' actually did help a lot. I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent them completely, wouldn't the spam filter also detect regular posts?

Why is the spam an official Pushsquare YouTube video? This is very strange spam indeed.
