Architecture and Products - read-only: temporary or permanent?

[homerdog]

Not sure under what circumstances we are supposed to report posts. I've only ever reported posts when they are botspam. There's a thread in the Graphics and Semiconductor Industry forum that I wanted to participate in, but I read a couple pages of it and it's full of bullshit (one post ends with something like "go back to neogaf" lol). So I decided not to continue posting in that thread. This is sad

The issues still exist and can be seen by anyone looking.

So ban the offenders.
Are we going to let this forum die?

Nope.

Has the level of activity really changed? Even before the lock the arch and technology section could go very quiet for days/weeks at a time. The posts from that section are still happening but just in less appropriate threads / sections.

IMO similar renaming along specific IHV topics might have prevented the issues encountered in Architecture & Products forum. That way people who want to discuss the merits of a particular technology do not have to deal with the "have not" thread derailers. Their ignore list can include the IHV section so they won't be drawn into trolling and will be fairly easy to spot and ban a derailer immediately.

What are " "have not" thread derailers " ?

They did something similar at HardOCP with IHV specific forums. It seemed to work eventually but it required lots of moderation at first IIRC.

Is that around the time they started doing "real world testing"? Before or after? I don't follow their forums that closely, just occasionally show up to play.

Don't know if I'm missing something but I have no idea what this means.

I disagree. We already had that. The fans / shills still shitposted every single chance they got.

 

[homerdog]

Then maybe it's time to suspend habeas corpus and go El Salvador on this place.

 

[digitalwanderer]

I don't believe B3D has habeas corpus, they can go El Salvador any time they wish.

I wasn't sure it was tried here. I believe Anandtech has IHV's split into sub-forums and Guru3D into forums.
Not sure about Anandtech but I rarely see moderator action at Guru3D as they tend to let disputes play out and eventually disappear.

I hope your not comparing B3D to those two forums!

Apparently there is some history at Beyond3D for axing forums.

Has the console forum been axed?

Is this a technical glitch or has it finally come to this?

Yes, because it was too much of a pain in the ass to moderate since the same stupid arguments and points kept getting thrown back and forth by people who couldn't control their behavior...but what does that have to do with Anand and Guru?

Have not thread derailers can mean anything you want! In general it's how I differentiate people whose primary intent is to disrupt the ongoing thread discussion through fallacious arguments designed to provoke negative responses.

I want to know what you meant by it. Why the "have not" bit?

Because I choose to? Have any issues talk to a moderator....
