“For example, a slight issue with your topic (that can easily be fixed with an edit) and they have to close it.”

Bull. But you should have no trouble showing all the closed posts, that just needed a slight edit.

“Or if you have a slightly large avatar, before you can resize it they delete all the code in it and leave a very rude message for all to see.”

Translation:
Or if you’re too stupid to figure out how to make a sig the proper size you should be allowed to use it.

@Gamma6 Sorry, I wrote avatar but I meant sig.

I find that moderators are very anal at the GMC. For example, a slight issue with your topic (that can easily be fixed with an edit) and they have to close it. Or if you have a slightly large avatar, before you can resize it they delete all the code in it and leave a very rude message for all to see. They are patronizing.

“I’m a member of YYG. So I don’t dislike them entirely. There have been some problems at GMC though (for example: Admin power abuse, and an occasional moderator power abuse). but still, in the long run, GMC is WAY better than YYG forums.”

I was pretty sure by the content of your posts that you’re pretty young, now I’m convinced you are.

Given you are claiming that there has been Admin and Mod abuse of power, you should be able to list exactly and fairly specifically the nature of those abuses.

I’m thinking it’s more along the lines of “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”, they deleted me post. That’s abuse of power. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”

I agree with NessXX and, Timoi, thanks god, I’m glad for that too.

It’s hard to turn a “rubbish” into something valuable so, in the other hand, let’s YYGF to live and keep the trash there and not be mixed with other communities.

@Timoi
Aw man, that would have been a disaster!

I’m a member of YYG. So I don’t dislike them entirely. There have been some problems at GMC though (for example: Admin power abuse, and an occasional moderator power abuse). but still, in the long run, GMC is WAY better than YYG forums.

When I first saw this article (well.. the title and all) I was thinking “huh? that’s not game maker related”.. then I took a look inside. And boy was a surprised! Btw, this title does fit YYG forums well XD

I’m just glad the proposed merger of the YYG Forum and the GMC never happened.
