Trolls are an essential part of forums.
You can't have a forum w/o trolls.
That's like eating a hamburger with no cheese.
Trolls are an essential part of forums.You can't have a forum w/o trolls.That's like eating a hamburger with no cheese.I agree 100%, but when trolls make up the majority of active posters, it's a problem. We've both been around long enough to remember the days when you could post a bad fit in the WDYWT Chat Thread and get constructive criticism. There was a time when people here wanted to help, they wanted that kind of community. God help anyone who posts a bad fit in that thread these days, assuming the fit posted is actually something the user is wearing, and not some pic they pulled from the internet to troll with. I don't see any reason why HB can't return to how it was, but it's a group effort. Mods can't turn this place around on their own. I think anyone who has communicated with me privately knows that I do everything I can to help and keep a good relationship with other members and report any site problems to Drew and Warren. I would like to see this forum last and I'd like to see it be a great community again, but the users have to want that as well, otherwise it will never happen.

HB can get back to where it was, but you know that a number of dudes need to get cut. Trolls have always been an essential part of HB (s/o subp, db_cooper, dstyles, etc.), but they never went over the line where each post came down to throwing racial slurs at dudes, etc.
Mods used to exercise their power when it was needed back in the day, and it is needed now (not just talking about single day suspensions)

The WDYWT roasting is one of the best things in this forum. and tbh, i dont ever remember a time when niggas consistantly got constructive criticism for their fits. maybe bak in 2006 when the internet wuz still frail, but i been lurking/occasionaly postin since 08 and the WDYWT thread has always been the same. except u can argue back then niggas fits wuz better(which i personally believe is not true).

The WDYWT Chat Thread is one example, but it's certainly not the only problem. If you really have been fairly active on this site since 2008, like myself, then you should not have any trouble remembering a time when people could get constructive criticism in that thread, and would come back for more. Obviously there was some flaming back then, but it was not even close to what it is today. Back then, I would go as far as to say constructive criticism outweighed the flaming, whereas today it's the exact opposite.

Suspensions are used, but a person who is intent on trolling is not going to be deterred by a 5 hour suspension, a 10 hour suspension, etc. and a permanent ban is generally reserved for extreme cases. Even then, someone who is intent on being a problem for the site will find a way to return.
How about you guys actually have rules and IMPOSE them on users? such as suspensions.I messaged you and drew in like july/august, and i proposed several rules to him ,and a system. I never got a reply from drew, you sent me to him.Recruit more mods. I know a great way to find good ones, and to even test their loyalty.

I don't think I "overamplify" anything. As I said, the WDYWT Chat Thread is a small part of a much larger problem. If my opinion on that thread bothers you, then pick any one of the other threads that have been mentioned where trolling outweighs anything constructive. All I'm doing is offering my opinion on the problems being addressed in this thread, you are certainly entitled to disagree with it, but please don't try and discredit what I'm saying by focusing on such a small part of the problem.
dude remember why they put the "no flaming" in the title in the first place? cuz shit wuz too crazy. dun make me dig up threads bruh. the mods used to go on post deleting rampages weekly and shit.and tbh ppl be flaming shit fits a lot but they still give constructive cristicism. most bad fits get critiqued on why theyre bad etc. and how to make em better. thats a fact. u niggas jus like to overamplify.
