I would just like to see stricter moderation. I'd hate for us to go as far as EJ as they are overboard, but letting someone de-rail thread after thread untouched needs to stop.
A rating system would be ok, but really, is it needed? After you've read the forums for a few months, you tend to mentally sort out the good posters yourself while those who obviously belong at the Special Kids e-table are glossed over for a good laugh.
As for Ut, now I think he's fine. Old Ut needed a ban badly. The Ut who would go into every single VG thread, no matter what it was about, and type the same exact shit he'd post in all the other threads, over and over again. Once he came back from his absence (pre-ban,) he was fine... though that didn't stop the anti-Ut retards from ignoring what he was saying and just posting "HAY GUYZ UT IS BACK!!ONE"
In short, here is what I'd like to see an end to :
- Repeated thread de-railments (Ut several months ago)
- Repeated one-line quips that add nothing to the discussion (Duppin)
- People who don't understand you don't have to hit the god damned Enter key at the end of every line
- People who don't like 300 (optional)
As for Dev posting, the only "Trouble Dev" is Brad. Whether you love or hate VG, his posts as of late have been nothing but advertisements for his game with little to no worthwhile input for discussion. Giving a forum for devs to moderate would either be 1) ignored or 2) become an advertising platform where anyone who says anything other than "MMO X is great and cured my erectile disfunction" will be silenced.

Not true at all. Smedley got some shit, no doubt. But I can't remember a time anyone attacked Nino or Gallenite. In fact, Ut and others have said on several occasions that they appreciate them being upfront, even if they didn't like their respective game.
Lastly, as to the Nino situation, it's a shame really. First that the information he gave out trustingly was leaked... twice. Secondly that the corporate brass wants to silence one of the only honest, upfront voices from Sigil. While I don't see myself playing VG any time soon, seeing him be upset with the state of things and honestly trying to get to the heart of matters made me respect the company just a little bit more.
