Anyone else worn out from all the trolling and misleading information?

Posted by Vaporybean on Jan 4, 2013 2:01 PM

I've been reading this forum since BO2 was released, and since Christmas it's been flooded with trolling, misinformation, and kids seeking attention to their YouTube pages. There isn't any credible information to be found on here anymore. 

 

Is there a place that is better moderated than here I can check out that you zombie vets know of?

 

The only folks I can follow on here have been DeathBringerZen, Click_Pow, and Spiderbite - who has taken the smart, high road of avoiding this place.

 

Thanks

    I'm with you on this one. It has gotten to the point to where I don't even care about the EE anymore and just want to play the new map.

    I'm with you too on the trolling man, it can get maddening at times.. Me and my buddy willywilldge (psn) like to test out stuff and play serious but also for fun.. We're always down to add experienced players that are down to play and have some fun..

    I think BlackOpsTiger used to have a forum site, but I forget. And trust me I've applied for moderator but they said they didn't need the help.

     

     

    I've thought a few times about just making a free to use forum for zombie discussion.

    BO2 forum went to sh*t already a few months back, it became back helpfull when BO2 came out to learn new stuff fast but after that the rank madness started and a bit later the EE hunting with no progression what so ever followed, and with that the trolls ofcourse.

    I agree, thaty the trolls have turned this site sour, but, unfortunately, the disease has spread to all the major forums now, so it would require an independantly moderated site like CoDz, who, in fairness, have had their mods ALL OVER the trolling threads... but only AFTER the whole BirdDog Dan episode, which made them look pretty bad to be honest!

     

    Mods hands are usually tied with the "Rules & Regulations", so sometimes it cannot be dealt with instantly, but if their threads get volatile, then they THEN have power to step in!

     

    I am completely sick of all the trolls just now, and make sure I go out my way to call ANY out I find on the forums or Youtube!

     

    The thing that sickens me NOW though, is when I DO attempt to call them out, a lot of the sites younglings start bashing me, because they are so desperate for a continuation, that they believe ANYTHING!

     

    I only call out the blatent trolls! If someone tells us something plausible, of shows something that looks valid, the I am on board, but when someone post a fabricated story of audio quotes from Maxis or Richtofen that are NOT in the game files, or wants us to decipher some garbage poem, or go through 32 morse code messages that mean NOTHING, then I will NOT play along, no matter how upset the sites children get!

      Too bad 50% of the people on this forum and other forums are complete idiots that keep feeding these trolls. If you never comment in the first place, what fun will this individual be having, none. Because he wants the reaction from you and that somehow gets him off...?

        Agreed.

         

        I have never understood why people do it? Is it a perversion??

         

        They levels some go to, like photoshops etc is mind boggling!?!

         

        But... the one's that disturb me the most, are the one's who carry on, even after getting caught, or exposed!!??

         

        For example, the Somebody01 and the fake Jimmy Zielinski over on Youtube. I truely believe, that, despite some inteligent posting's from them, they are mental disturbed, or possibly deviants, who get a REAL kick from it all.

         

        Worrying...

          I do believe last year they made it against the law to impersonate a public figure on the internet. Would be funny to make an example out the youtube guy.

          Have u seen to so called leaked loading screen a month or so before release? A real piece of artwork in the style of BO that was that it looked real, ppl went nuts about it. I and a lot of others said it looked nice but it just as the rest of the leaked stuff to be fake. After a while more and more ppl confirmed it to be fake even the maker I think but still ppl believed it to be real.

            That is EXACTLY my point mate!

             

            The fake loading screens and in-game stills that were "supposidly" from the game looked pretty damn real, and yes, they decieved a LOT of people, but you have to ask yourself why they bother?

             

            What did the person who made the screenies get for it? Nothing! Well... maybe a little hatred, but no gain!

             

            So again... why?

             

            lol

              The screens were fake, didn't need to be an expert to see that. They were the basic screen taken from BO1 and some modded made zombie map or some other game screenshots as background. Still remember when the first one was posted on the forum and ppl went nuts because of the fact there was a window looking thing on it.

    Yeah, I think the biggest problem here is that all the threads are listed the same, because there is only a general  'discussion for zombies' forum page. You easily loses the overview, although there are forum members who respond to threads that are far from plausible much too often and much too quickly themselves.

     

    But thanks for making this thread tho (no offence to activision).

    If you find a place like this, pls PM me.

    Im sick of the same ideas/theories that we were talking about almost two months ago. It was annoying then, now I have to relive it if I want to take the chance of actually finding legit posts.

     

     

     

    Sadly I just don't trust any new users until I am proven wrong.

    Although sometimes it can be a pain, I think the majority of troll posts do serve a purpose.

     

    Any new idea, (no matter if it is made up) is a good idea. We're all searching for something which we have no idea how to find and dont even know what it is!!!!  Any post that can give people idea's or maybe spark a twist to an original theory is a good one.

     

    Re-posts of basic ideas with nothing new to bring to the table are cluttering stuff up a bit though. I think it would be a good idea for the forum to be segregated into "theory's and efforts", "general discussion" "Support" and "players wanted"
