Ok, but meanwhile we have like six different threads that relate to Mario products that came from the same Direct thread. And we also get a different thread every time Digital Foundry breathes. And every time Epic vs Apple updates we have threads on both gaming and general.
Add in a few hundred "where are my game updates, I don't care if there's a pandemic" threads and baby, you got a stew goin'.
If and when a new thread is made for a "bigger video," it will be filled with pages of lawyering about whether this video counts as a Bigger Video and a bunch of people saying Maybe You Should Put This One In The OT, because the reality is that there are people who just don't want to see his content at all, and this is just appeasement for them.
You stop people from being ignorant jackasses by moderating their foolishness, not giving into it. This is beyond silly.
That's nonsense though. It's been more than fine for years and many posters prefer it. I don't care for this trend where you just talk past everyone who's saying they don't like the change, which isn't really out of the norm in these situations. If people can't control themselves with the meta commentary, then action it. Community used to actually discuss these kinds of things, now whoever just decided and that's what it is? Poor show imo.
Again, continue making threads for videos on important issues. If he makes a video on bad labor practices or something, make the thread and we'll ban anyone that whines about it.
Yes please
There is no intention among staff to muzzle Jim Sterling, that insinuation is just silly. Most of us actually like their output.
Pretty much. I don't really care for the amount of OTs era has begun to relegate everything to. I won't dig through them personally and don't enjoy them. I don't find them easy to keep up with personally.
That's not the main problem though. Not only is this a horrible precedent but it clearly doesn't involve the community's input other than the clown who couldn't help himself and got banned. That aside, we now have who knows who determining what videos are and aren't relevant. Community engagement will do that on its own. No time to fuss about it all day, so that's all I'll say on it atm. Will just see how things go moving forward.
The haters have their wish. Let it be. I'm sick of their moaning.
I think if this site had "subtitles", filled with the latest threadmark, that you could see from the main page then mega threads could be useful.
Well, this thread being bumped is no problem, because you can always hit that ignore button, which is what most people that complained wanted.
Looks like my post earlier suggesting that only some Jimquisitions would get a thread was wrong- this was my mistake, sorry about that everyone.
not really, if people dislike him why don't you know ignore it, that is a function
It's fine. Sorry if I was super curt in my post to you earlier. Never a good idea to post right after work starts lol.
Why come into the thread you plan to ignore to let everyone know you plan to ignore it? You could have just not been negative and ignored it from the start, lol.
I'm not sure why you think I'm saying every thought needs its own thread? Like I spelled out in my post that you quoted, I'm think a central OT for his Jimpressions and lesser videos (ie: his non-Jimquisition stuff) is good and gets rid of the fluff. But to enforce all of his videos--Jimquisitions included--under one OT seems like it just stifles his message. Threadworthy Video means different things to different users, mods, or admins.
