    Yes, but there still are a lot of complaints/problems regarding those "Certain limits" IMO.

    I didn't see anybody complaining about only 25% being about wallpapers, we where just having some conversation like rich_950000 said, nothing was rally happening in the appstore so we posted on that thread and nobody seemed to complain.

    Exactly.

    When the wallpapers were app based it could've been considered the right section, but that's stretching it.

    Whether somebody complains or not, it's still against the rules. If I say, kidnapped G.W. Bush, nobody would care -- But it's against the law. :)

    PS Sorry for the double post. :\

    If it was against the law somebody would care. That's a real bad example you put there lol :D. Again that would be being too strict in my opinion enforcing the law when nobody has told you to do so.

    I think the forums too strict, but that might be because I got banned.

    Actually, I think it was a great analogy. A lot of people would've loved it if that got G.W. Bush out of the White House. :)


    Nobody is enforcing rules they weren't told to enforce... What are you getting at there? :confused:

    You got banned but were allowed back ;)
    Some other forums would ban your IP...

    IMO, Touch Arcade has always been more than fair. It's tough finding the right balance, especially as more and more users join. It's not like you have to pass a test to ensure you will be a mature and contributing member. I guess it's a growing pain of becoming a more and more popular site, and I think it's all our jobs to ensure this forum remains a friendly and informative place to discuss games. It is unfortunate but we already have more rules than we had 2 months ago and if things continue down the path we're heading, I wouldn't be surprised if we have even more rules 2 months from now, and I'm not sure it would necessarily be a bad thing.

    I dunno guys and gals...I really just want this forum to continue being the best place to visit for all conversations relating to games. Is that so much to ask?? :)

    They couldn't ban my IP. I was using my iPhones 3G.

    I think the forums are handled fairly. At least 90% of the time, I agree with what has been done about something in the forums. I know lots of other forums that are much more strict than TA is.

    The good thing about TA is that it is still relatively small and there is not a whole lot of trouble and rule breaking going on. You guys just haven't seen what strict is like because hardly anything bad ever happens here! :) To be honest, I think TA is one of the cleanest forums I've ever been on, and most of the users are more polite and respectful than people I've met from forums other than TA.

    I couldn't agree more.

    There are some really ****ed up forum communities out there.

    The X v.s. Y are usually totally unrelated app's, like 'Should I get Super Monkey Ball or Blue Attack?'

    I get the feeling new members aren't welcome at all. I constantly see new members being attacked and called "noob" "troll" etc. by senior members with a holier-than-thou aura about them. Not very welcoming.
