Well, I'm going to be true here without trying to offend people. This post didn't fit into any other topics such as 'site administration' or 'forum talk' or something like that, so here will have to do.
All I see on these boards are people flaming others. Lots of people just whine when they don't get there way. Although it's now getting better, it still feels like there is too much hatred between people in these forums; when really we should be here to help others. The mods should really clamp down on the flaming, delete peoples posts and give warnings to people who abuse. If you go on mattie forums, there's very few times people flame others; and if they do it's instantly sorted out by one of the excellent mods there. In conclusion, people should learn to live in harmony and not flame others ^_^, abusers shall be dealt with accordingly.
Secondly, the amount of posts in the wrong sections are phenomenal, and the amount of times I've seen 'wrong forum' but the post isn't moved is astonishing. I think that the mods/admins should really look into this, and move posts which are in the wrong section to right sections. Lots of people on mattie's forums post in the wrong place, but is usually moved withing the first 20 - 30 mins of being posted in the wrong place.
I hope you take these thoughts into consideration, and the rules and regulations should get harsher.

You best be joking, just remember, we're coding the new version of WCS, and we could introduce your SteamID to es.sexec('kill') you every time you spawn on every WCS mod you go on >.<

we noticed that the situation is not good at all...
Forum is spammed with a lot multiple "noob questions" (like my 50 new races wont work -> use racefilecheck dude!!) or many copy&paste races and a bunch of replies (unfortunately many flame replies...). Also a big percentage is "I have race idea .... can someone code it?", maybe we should open a marketplace category for this, or offer a race coding GUI, like you can "click your race".....
Its not easy for the moderators to clean up like 66 posts each day (thats the current average) and help with replies.
The best way would probably be to start over with a fresh forum including a Wiki and FAQ, so many questions can be prevented that way. Do you know a good CMS/Forum/Wiki which may meet our requirements?
Or any other suggestions?

True I never really felt like posting my races when I first started coding here cause I KNEW!! i would get negative comments on my races.
And Finally i did, and guess what, I got some constructive comments but lots of useless negative comments
So I stoped posting them I have made around 30 races all including sfx and havnt posted them here. Youll noticed I only posted around 3 which where my first races.

hmm why not just give the person who opened the topic the right to remove posts on it? and they can remove flames themselves???
**edit** some of us are trying >.> finished up with the 5hour 37 min prodject of cleaning racesfinishedandready2use... not that i'm one to talk.. the beta coders prbly have spent what now... Dunno mabye fred will answer, but ya atleast coding is intellectually challenging(atleast i think so) so the boredom factor isnt so high... but i'm hoping to clean out 1 forum at a time and atleast 1 a week if not more. but thats my hopes....

Allthough I'm considering to delete this post, 'cause I don't want our newcomers to witness our issues related in the forums.
I'll vote for a Wipe, as Kryptonite suggested to keep the common topics (FAQ, Races, Items, etc).
But to get this clean fresh start, we need to assign someone skilled enough for every job, like who's gonna make 1 big FAQ?
It's easier to look for 1 FAQ than hundreds. What will the FAQ contain? Whos words will be used?
Who chooses the races? Our primary Race Coders?
Forum layout, changed or kept?
If you also agree for a wipe then please post including an opinion and a solution in how to start making this all possible.

I say, we have all the mods go through... Erase the useless posts... Only keep stuff that contains USEFULL information.. So resolved topics are erased. Like my race isnt working. You forgot a quote or such BOOM gone. How ever things like how do i add a skin, and someone made a USEFULL reply should be kept. Also.. I say get all the FAQ's turn into one big one with chapters. such as Chapt 1) how to install wcs Chapt 2) how to install races Chapt 3) how to install admins Chapt 4) how to coppy and paste Chapt 5) how to code .... it could go on for a while, i would be more than happy to do this but u would have to wait a while got tennis tryouts (kicking ass btw 6-0 4-3 4-1 were my matches today) but ya.. i'll catch up with u guys later.
