I've had to close three topics today that can basically be attributed to "noob threads". Here's a good example:

http://nerfhaven.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18945&hl=

This is breaking a multitude of our Code of Conduct rules including:

Think Before You Post.

Don't post unless you have something to say.

Use capitalization and punctuation correctly.

I've let a bunch of these slide, but that's not going to happen anymore. Any posts where it's clear that a new member did no prior searching or expresses blatant disregard of capitalization and punctuation will result in a ban from anywhere between 1 and 9999 days. I'm not going to go over your thread with a red pen, but at least make it look like you put some effort to type properly. I've closed this thread because their is no discussion when it comes to this topic.

Talio.

I've been talking to someone at Nerf again recently and they asked me to put up links to their social media pages. I figured there will be at least some of you who would be interested in this. Just keep in mind, you can't talk to them about modifying Nerf guns. They can not legally have that kind of discussion. So if you want to keep up with Nerf and you don't plan on going to these sites to be an idiot here they are:

YouTube

Facebook

Twitter

I think it's a good way to keep updated and maybe we won't have to have 20 page long topics guessing what a gun will be like. Again, please, be on your best behavior. Our site having a good relationship with Nerf would be awesome and every step counts.

So FA's too busy to keep up with the mod directory and we could use someone else keeping up with it. If you want the job volunteer and then we'll pick someone in a couple of days. Make sure this is something you're gonna stick with for a while, you gotta add all the new mods into it and go through mods for the last couple of months to make sure everything useful is in there.

This is required reading for every nerf haven member. I can't believe I have to go through this. I mean, I find it hard to believe that a group of people can suck so badly at the internet but obviously we need some Troll training. Firstly, lets define troll. According to wikipedia:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

We've had some trolls here over the last few days and I appreciate the people who took the high road and PM'ed me. That was the right thing to do. It may take me a while to take care of it, but I will get to it. You have nothing to fear. So here's how I want you all to deal with trolls in the future.

IGNORE THEM!

Next time I see a thread where someone posted something trollish and there is even a single reply, that person will be treated the same way as the troll. If you don't feed them with your emotional responses they die. And frankly, if you cannot control yourself from clicking the reply button and posting a string of obscenities, then you don't need to be on this site.

I was going to copy and paste everyone's name into this thread who fucked up, but after 20 minutes I gave up. The majority of you on this site fed the troll. You should be ashamed of yourselves and understand that the next time we have a troll, not only his head will roll.

Nerf on,

Talio.

So because everyone on this site feels the need to post modification threads with name like "The Poop Shoot 4000", "Desecration" and "Jim", I realized it's gonna get hard for noobs to find the gun they're searching for. Not to mention, it's really fucking annoying when you're looking through the active topics only to see 12 mod threads and you don't realize what a single one is by looking at it. Am I gonna see a new gun modded or am I gonna see another fucking 1500 strapped to the side of your mom's strap on? I don't know, but I should.

So from now on, when you want to post a new mod you need to put the whole name of the gun in the title, spelled correctly. If you insist on putting your stupid gun name, do it in title description or the main post. So it should look like this:

Topic Title: Crossbow with integrated gerbil on a string
Topic Title: Richard Gere Fucker

So there you have it. Honestly if you're COMPLETELY OUTRAGED BY THIS STUPID SHIT! Don't post it. Nobody cares. If we do this, maybe new guys will actually be able to come on here and find what they're looking for.

Talio.
