Expect less

[Pink Floyd]

I was just thinking, when this website is to become more populated, you have to consider that it's called "Runescape Forums". The maturity here is currently at a decent level, but lots of people that play Runescape aren't really that mature. I'm not trying to be stereotypical or judgmental, but you will likely start to see posts like "LMAO you damn nerd" at some point.

I just wanted to suggest that you don't crackdown on these new people, as they appear. Hope that makes sense.

Definitely agreed, since HF is more of a grown up community they can crack down.

This community however, has younger and less mature members so we have to be more lenient towards them.

I know this will happen to some degree, but not extremes lol, my 9 year old brother can meet hackforums standards with ease.

Indeed. But we can't let all things go unchecked; there'd be no point in moderation then. :nod:

 

[Pink Floyd]

That's certainly true Saged, but I'm merely saying not to expect to much out of them. For example, Gonzo, your 9 year old brother is likely much more mature then most 9 year olds that will possibly join the site.

I don't think you should be less strict to certain members just because they are younger. If they can't act normal then they shouldn't be on forums.

I very strongly disagree. Younger people have different maturity levels, and most are literally not capable of acting as mature as sites like HF expect.

I don't think you realize, this is Runescape Forums. Leeway should most certainly be given. I'm not saying to let everything slide, but I think that we should not crack down on them as hard. It's ridiculous to say they should not be on the forums. Maybe not HF based forums, but for gods sake, this is Runescape Forums.
