Problems Within the Graphics Section

What do you expect to be done with a massive amount of problems occurring in the Graphics section?

I don't want to suggest a moderator be added for it; because if I suggest that it will surely be denied.
I would suggest going on a reporting rampage, and report all faults you come across.

Quit mind fucking people. At least wear a condom for them dirty minds.

Wonder if Omni is aware of this yet.
Though I don't visit the Graphics section much, I agree that gravedigging has become a problem, and it's ridiculous.

A new rule? Yes.

I support.

Another topic I'd like to address, the GFX guru award is given out like it's candy. To people that don't even have any GFX skill or make good rippers.
Sometimes I report wrong section posts and they stay were they are, for example:

https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=1016299

I reported this I think yesterday afternoon.

Yet users comment still, personally if somethings in the wrong section ill report it and not post on the thread as its technically off topic.
This is a good report but do you realizing that your trying to make suggestions which is not allowed.
I totally agree with you Buzz.
When posting battles, people need to include a time limit for the poll to close by itself.
At least, make a Uber host the battle so he can close it when its done.

Gravedigging and wrong section posting should be reported immediately.

Reporting multiple thread problems through a thread might not be the best idea; but at least he is getting the problem known.

Quote:Recently, people have been posting in the incorrect section consistantly. Many people seem to overlook the individual sections, and post in sections that do not directly pertain to that which they're posting about.

This has been the case with whole of HF, not with one sub-forum, please take a look at hacking tutorials, it regularly gets filled with beginner hacking questions. Isolating a single forum would be wrong.

Solution : Report the threads and they will be taken care of. I believe sometime it may take longer than the report to be cleared but it will be cleared within 48 hours. 😉
Incase it isn't please Pm me with the thread link. 🙂
* Do Not Pm me if the thread you reported has been there for less than 48 hours, also if the thread is not moved try reporting it again from the first post of the thread.

Quote:Secondly, there's also the huge problem with gravedigging. Gravedigging (Or necroposting) has become increasingly regular in the Graphics section. Posts all the way back from 2009 are being dug up on a far too regular basis.

This shouldn't be taken as a "huge problem". Graphic section consists of arts by various users and it's Ok if a new member or registered user sees and acknowledges the art(provided it isn't a LQP)
However in-case of graphic contests you and other regular members of Graphic section should be responsible for reporting the thread to be closed after it's purpose is fulfilled.

Quote:Probably one of the most noteworthy of all, is the flaming.
I believe their is a drop down report reason for the same, please use it. 😉

Quote:However, most of the time, the thread is not urgent enough to bother a Staff member about.
Now this is just wrong, Staff members take each and every report as a top priority and for you to single out a forum thread or post, just because an action on the same got delayed is wrong on so many levels.
I agree with the space ranger. The amount of wrong-section posting between the Requests and main Graphics section alone is horrible, not counting any of the other issues he's listed. Great formatting, by the way.
Premium membership users can close their own threads. Gravedigging and wrong forum posting can both just be reported and/or frowned upon via the reputation system.
That is very true..GFX forum need more organisation!
I am haooy to see others noticing this!

Someone with experience in moderating, someone who knows what he/she is talking about.
A mature and clear minded person.

What do you say? You want me as moderator?

:p

Anybody who even vaguely suggests themselves to be added as a moderator immediately loses my vote.
Discussion of staff/mod placements is not allowed.

I couldn't even be a moderator anyway, I'm too busy.

As for the "problems" they're not that big of a problem.
It's why we have the report button.

Luckily, this isn't a democracy, so nobody cares that you think that nobody cares for my vote. Both of our votes are irrelevant, not just mine.
Look. Neither of your votes matter; because staff/mod votes are made by other staff/mod.
How about we stay on topic?
