This thread is treading into negative territory. Criticism of the site is fine as long as the aim is to improve the site, not a grounds to attack the site because you dislike how it has changed or dislike the site in general. Accusations of the staff mishandling situations are taken very seriously and investigated. If you feel that a moderator has handled a situation inappropriately or was wrong, please contact an Admin via PM.

This is a just a reminder that bashing any person or group, regardless if they are on the staff, normal user, or not a member of this forum is not
tolerated.

Thank you for your cooperation and I hope you have a good rest of the day.
lol
Spam, would you kindly contact an Admin via PM and tell them that you feel my banning was handled inappropriately? Thx :smileup:

Btw Spam, now that you have been unbanned, did Talore re-friend you? There's no longer a danger in doing it
under the new curse site you can't friend or unfriend people so that's another thing ruined by the new website layout

the 'friend' system was changed to a 'follower' system where if you 'follow' someone you get notifications whenever they post.

I think that "decline" is a very good word for the state of the site. I feel that largely the issues on this forum reflect the issues of the whole site at large. The overall quality of post at MTGS is poor. When the bulk of posts and threads on MTGS are chaff, it not only makes the good stuff harder to find, but drives away the people who would post "the good stuff". Some people are driven away by that, some people get frustrated and in misguided attempts to correct it, often find themselves on the wrong side of an infraction.

Take a look at the current front page of the Market Street forum. How many threads couldn't be summarized by saying "Tell me how to spend money", "I can't use a search engine", or "I don't understand how card values and fluxuation work, I want someone to tell me"... Too few, in my opinion. And this situation
gets amazingly worse on other forums. Obviously, the reason the site sees much activity at all is because we don't shoo away newer players or users who aren't knowledgeable.... but then you end up here.

Note that I don't think the mods are doing much of anything wrong, I think that it's possible to moderate for "niceness" or appropriate socialization, it's extremely hard to do so for quality. And there's no chance Curse would stand for it anyway, they have always been a quantity over quality source.

No it was not. A few folks got on here to voice a controlled opinion and gave helpful advice that would have been otherwise rat holed in the help desk and email for no one to see or care. No one was bashing anyone with names or flame. Many have voiced distaste for the new website, but have offered helpful advice with those critiques. Throwing up a wall of red shuts down discussion like an overbearing parent scolding a child. Now no one is going to continue the discussion any more cause you proved a point we wanted to avoid. How sad. We have come to realize that pointing fingers or throwing accusations gets no where with the mods and just causes a rift. Someone asked what has caused the decreased use this forum and critical answers where given with positive ideas to solve it. I am showing this post to a few friends at a shop right now and we are laughing and at the same time shaking
our heads at this response. Asking us to keep all opinions in the areas the mods want has already been described in my earlier post. Others here and I want this forum to succeed and grow, but reasons already described can't be justified in an accusatory email to solve the problem. It takes the community to grasp the need and want to solve the problems listed. So I ask the mod who posted this; was this post needed? The constant need to post this material when real discussion gets underway leaves viewers perplexed whether this discussion is not tolerated or a something wrong has occurred and the future posts must be MtGS correct.

On to other ideas to get support here, how about an app to boost people coming here? It is directly linked to an opinion pole on high value cards. When you check a card in the app, it gives a percentage chance of a reprint, chance of going up or down in value in a certain amount of time, and whether it is a pick up during rotation. The percentages come from user here voting on
the cards. The results are the average of votes. The app could sell for a $1 and requires people coming here to vote. Users would consider the patrons opinion on the cards and their other sources such as tcg player or SCG. Players would have access to real sales prices and opinion of what that price should be. Thus it would raise user ship of this site. If we are in the summer doldrums; then we should be in planting season for new ideas to keep this site evolving with the game needs. A side benefit is noted with folks being able to voice their opinion on a price with a vote rather than argue it and risk an infraction. It is a massive undertaking, but money can be made with it for this site. Please use my idea without impunity. What helps mtg, helps me.

Honestly, they keep on this track, we'll have another internet magical cards forums exodus, it seems like MTGNews all over again: Autistic moderation, and people leaving in flocks. Not that they will necessarily end here, but it is fun to witness how people haven't learned shit with their past errors
