The moderators and I are beginning to worry that the Community Discussion threads have taken a turn for the worse. Lately there has been an increase in inappropriate threads/posts where folks have been spamming topics, trolling, flaming members, and grossly ignoring forum rules. To make matters worse, fewer members have been reporting these problems, and oftentimes adding to the problem rather than trying to assist in resolving the problem. With much of our moderators' attention directed to Fallout 3 and Oblivion boards, these reports are increasingly important.

At this time, closing Community Discussion is an option currently being considered. It's NOT the ideal strategy, but we also need to keep these forums as a place where folks can feel comfortable. Thus we would like to appeal to the community for help so this area can continue to be available to our fans. You can help in this endeavor by:

1) Using the report button to report flames, spam, inappropriate content and threads that have reached 200 posts.
2) Using the PM system for personal chat and disagreements.
3) Staying away from inane and meaningless topics, forum games and especially spammy polls
4) Give the forum rules a read. You agreed to them when you registered here, so it can't hurt to freshen up on the rules.

Lets all work together to keep Community Discussion a place where everyone can feel welcome!
