nah, not too harsh, but harsh enough yes. No need to start fooling around, if banning is an important issue as it is, then it should be taken with precaution.

Now, we cant solve the insult problem other than putting warings all over the place.

The issue at hand is: games with no description or screenshots, and half done games that arent pleasant and maybe even hurt the comunity a little.
Maybe the guy is just dumb, so he deserves a chance to post his game. But we deserve to be able to browse through a selection of games that are pleasant to play, thats why we desesperately need to categorize game into difernt qualities NOW. Oh and plz add a searcher for articles and downloads.

I don't see much of a problem with the admins on these boards. In fact, I think they should be much stricter not less.

 
99 percent chance that the above post is 100 percent correct.

There's the thumb system. Which is wrong, apparently, like how?

okey. So anyone agrees with this? Is it relevant for an admit to make a poll like this?

"Should games be divided according to its quality, in 3 sections, using the thumb system and taking into account IF it has screenshots and a propper review?"

The Thumbs system is enough. Putting another category for games just adds more trouble to SC and the other admins.

Most of the admins aren't harsh. Just Pete. And Circy if anyone says anything bad about them. You just don't notice the others because they're so kind that they don't say anything if they have nothing nice to say.

The editor's choice thing would be nice. It'll mean that we need an extra editor. It'll also mean that people will be bugging the editors for a spot on the editor's choice list just in case they 'overlooked' a game. Of course, I'm sure the editors wouldn't mind since it is their job, after all.

Don't diss on pete and circy. they hold this site together. Meanwhile, shadowcaster takes a 2-week break. Pete states the rules, and circy enforces them. Everyone else does the news and makes games. So stop having EVERY SINGLE FREAKING POST go torwards "The admins suck and/or are nazis". Notice how only Pete and CIRCY get insulted because they don't just sit on their asses, so they're deemed harsh.

 
Remember, there's a little darkness in all of us... we just express it best.

Respectfuly @ Muz:
I think IF The Daily Click reached a point, at any time, that "improvement" and "effort" are at undefined priority with each other, it would be time to bring in more manpower (or girlpower, you go girl!) to TDC.
So anyway effort is expendable, and you should put some of these thousands of damn klikers here at the job, ANYONE would like this job here i bet. TDC has tons of active members (lets not lose them).

So being effort and work not a subject here anymore, I think it comes to inmediate priority solving what I hear as "Games at the tdc suck, and some of them have no description or screenshots".. or simply "TDC sucks" by Podukan 2004.

Dave_Cv4, who is a great member of TDC, agrees with categorizing the games in 2 maybe 3 sections.
This is all for the benefit of browsing games at tfc, wich is at the moment in disaproval (not by me) but to many decent people, some who I heard bringing down TDC verbaly on #k&p.

Edit- Thumbs up and down arent 100% reliable, but say if a game has more than 15 votes AND 70% of the votes are thumbs up, there is a fairly good change game is good.

I sort of like it how it is. And another thing...Its not that fair to say only kids submit crappy games. Look at Watkins. The guy was only 13 at the time, and that turned out to be a classic!

And I'm 13, and even though most of my games make people's eyes burn out, I think one can always improve!

Yes yes, it's not fair bringing down little kids for their age, in fact its better to encourage them, encouragement can prove to be a very powerful tool not only for kids but for grownups too.

But.. if i see a game with just ripped off graphics, and with mmf's predefined movements.. with a 4 mb file music... no screenshots or description.. and when I download it I realize the game doesnt even has a propper story and nevermind an ending... Then it makes me think there should be a way for me to AVOID coming along those.

The goal of separating these games is simple, to have a pleasant walkthrough along klik games download. Im pretty sure you all want to agree with this.

I "could" be able to go through the bad games too.. (if I wanted..) but I MUST have the choice to not go through the them. This is unless you dont mind this legion of people sad at TDC's current "situation", I know I DO mind.

I agree with Dogzer about how hidieous some games can be...(No screen shots/story/ripped graphics/exc.)
P.S. Little kids?!
