Dark0ne Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Nexus != 4chan/Something Awful forums. Keep your 4chan stuff to 4chan. For pointers read my webmaster's blog on the internet, trolls, and finally creating an effective rating system. Specifically: Don't get me wrong; 4chan, Something Awful, Urban Dictionary and sites of similar ilk fill a great niche on the internet. You'd be dead inside if you went on to one of those sites and didn't find something there that wasn't funny to you (it might take longer for some, and I'm not recommending it to anyone), problem is you'd have to trawl through some of the most disturbing base content you're likely to witness without actively searching for it. It's anarchy online; some good bits, but a whole crap-ton of bad stuff. These sites are great, in their own way, as long as what happens on these sites, stays on these sites. The problem is when impressionable idiots start bleeding out from these sites and thinking that they can act like that and share similar content on any site on the internet. These types intermingle with the gaming community, often taking root in the more devolved side of the gaming community such as the stereotypical whiney, voice hasn't broken yet, underage Call of Duty players and they start spreading across the internet spouting out old 4chan memes like they were written yesterday.
