Stop acting like friggin children and just learn how to converse in a mature manner...

Is that too much to ask for?

Christ.

Don't reply to this unless you actually have something useful to say.

Bigg Trick has spoken.

The new moderation rules have basically forced anyone who can't control themselves into an endless stream of making alts. That's good in general, but the problem with that is now they have no reason to even pretend to be on good behavior. They know that GameFAQs doesn't prevent people from creating alts, so they might as well go full inflammatory every time they post because once they've lost their main there's basically no cost towards being that way.

It's like no one has compassion or common courtesy for they fellow man anymore.

Life protip: talk to other grown men online, the same way you would in person.

Can save a lot of ehadaches and bad feelings that way.

Yeah, I have noticed a lot more alts lately too.

Instant block when I see that

All the good users have left for Youtube, Reddit, TikTok, or if you want to interract with friends we have Facebook and Instagram. No need to use GameFaqs for that.

Like look at this dude instead of coming to GameFaqs Advance Wars board he can make money off his videos by making Youtube videos about it.

Another thing I don't see mentioned as much as contributing to the death of message boards is Twitch stream chats. When people want to be social with other people who share their same interests, they just hop in a Twitch chat. It's video entertainment, and conversation at the same time.

Between that and twitter there's no reason to post on message boards unless you grew up with them.

The politics board is the biggest example. Mods let a few favored usuals post non political topics geared towards drawing in targets for the usuals to dogpile on. They attack people who agree with them, too.

Yea. Whenever I go to the modern sites like Reddit, Twitch, Youtube they refer to the past tense when talking about GameFAQs. You see the same when Myspace was brought up.
