Well at least put up a damn rule where it actually has to be a game unlike this

I could do that, I'll just state upfront, "Your game MUST be an actual game, not topics like this:" and use that one as an example. Can't think of much else.

How's that sound?

No trying to get personal information on users through a game.

If people post something that isn't a game, mods should delete the topic. Does the place have a mod? If not, put one there. Punishment is not a bad thing when it is deserved. You don't need to say, "OK PEOPLE, THIS IS ONLINE GAME SECTION, TALK ABOUT ONLINE GAMES" or "THIS IS THE RP SECTION, TALK ABOUT RPS."

Why? Because there is usually an obvious line on if it is on topic or not. The who is the youngest/oldest isn't a game, but the food fight thing is.
No. if you put someone in charge of that section, he'll either have to be

A : retarded.
B : soon-to-be suicidal.

And I highly disagree that the food fight is a game. I mean, it's just mindless posting, with posts barely ever having any relation to one another, next to the fact that they're about throwing produce.

I mean, even tag has a winner, loser and some rules.

And to quote my closest dictionary, a game is defined as; "a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own s**** or for that of spectators."

Considering this is the internet, we can obviously drop "skill, chance and endurance" part, but if you drop the rules, you don't have a game section anymore. You'll end up with something else. Yanno what? The damn spam section!

How about this. We will make a usergroup to make new forms games. It will be a closed one, and the only way to get it is to have not cheated on a form game for a month.(30 days insted of 31, 28, or 29)

No. I'd rather burn the entire section with everyone in it.

I think he was making fun of how there was a usergroup for spam.

I concede how it isn't a game because it doesn't follow the guidelines. So what's the point of forum games since it isn't competitive? (lolrp)

Look at the mafia game, or the "Guess the user" game, don't you think those are shining examples of how it could/should be?

/:| Seems to me the better solution would be a section mod then if this is how the discussion is going to go.

No. Believe me, that won't turn out well. Letting someone pick out what "games" are is stupid. To be honest, there is NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. Yes, they're morons, and yeah, having no section at all will probably be better. However, if we're going to have a section, leave it as is. Any posts that need moderating and break rules can be reported. I don't see what harm letting the people just do whatever they think is a "game" is. Seriously, so they think something is a game and it isn't, but just mindless posting. One can argue that every game is just mindless posting.

I agree completely. If you don't like the section stay out... :/ But there should be something about RPing in there. For example, The House *shudders* was ALL RP. Therefore, not a game. Something like that should be enforced IMO.

Belth said there shouldn't be any rules, you said "I AGREE, THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RULES!"
