Soniti > Justin Bieber. You considering them A tier sure doesn't show up on the match up chart! Bang vs Rachel is probably closer to 6.5-3.5, IMO. Vs Hazama it is probably even or slightly in Hazama's favor. Vs Hakumen, 7-3 is way too inflated. I agree with 6-4. Vs Arakune it's probably pretty close to even. Vs Tsubaki I would say it's even. They are both equally awful. lolol Grammar policed it for you.

Those times SHOULD be accurate if PEOPLE SHOW UP ON TIME. Last time everyone was jerking off or something and showed up WAY later than they should have. Everyone showing up late is what caused people to GET MAD and CRY over how the stream went.

Not sure if this is needed since Aksys rarely post on this site.

It doesn't when the Japanese widely consider Arakune and Carl to be A tier, but they're only B tier in this chart.

That, or you can just type ["s"]text here[/"s"] without the quotes. Also, yeah, the chart isn't bad at all except for Carl and Arakune being drastically underranked.

We have strikethrough readily available and you missed the perfect opportunity to use it. Fixed it for you.

Guess I better start cleaning up! Sogos was first. You're next.

Okay let's go down the list: Not staying free - well you probably deserve this one as much as I do Putting people on blast - see above Blowing it up - see above again; not very hard to get any of those if you live on EC Being a nice guy - I'm the nicest guy on DL. You're not very nice though. Being handsome - You definitely don't deserve this one. Being awesome - I'm pretty awesome. Not gonna lie. U mad? Yeh u mad.

Nope.avi Sorry you don't deserve any of my awards because you don't meet any of the criteria for them.

I am the supreme commander of Dustloop.

I abuse what I hate. Like orphans.

lol EC. Stay fray. On a serious note, wish we had Carl and Arakune's match ups revised. They shouldn't be lower than Ragna at all. Don't see how Haku-men vs Rachel is 7-3, but oh well no one plays Rachel anyways. Also, Valk is probably S tier anyways.

I was going to give myself a bunch of medals, but sadly, there is not way to award medals en masse and the max medals shown is only four!

Actually I have no idea how that shit worked. Seemed to be pretty random, because there was a level 100 guy that only had like 100 posts, no threads made, and had not posted in over a year.

Except the community uses a different standard. The game's abbreviations isn't the standard for the community.

Real talk. Blade > qwerty.

Who is going to be streaming SCR? Also, can we expect equal or mostly equal representation of games from the stream? It would be disappointing for the BB scene and other scenes if SSFIV overshadows them. I mean it's understandable that SSFIV gets most of the limelight, as it is the biggest game there, but it would be disappointing for finals of other games get screwed over for SSFIV (like at Season's Beatings where SSFIV semi-finals were streamed over other games). I'm not sure how much influence Valle has over that, but an answer would be greatly appreciated.

Qwerty wishes he was even 1% as black as Dark Prince.

It's not a big deal if we don't have a lot of viewers on the stream or no stream at all.

Okay, time to post a serious post. Many people believe that people that spread misinformation/are terrible/don't learn need to be removed from the site, and while I am inclined to agree, that isn't the purpose of having a site like this. Dustloop is supposed to be a site where people can come get information about a game (gameplay or story stuff), get in touch with their local community, and find events. In terms of gameplay, this is a site that is made for people to learn and grow. Obviously, people cannot learn and grow without either reading information or posting misinformation and then getting corrected by others. The site cannot function without people discussion strategies, what works, what doesn't work, what are gimmicks, etc. Now there are players that post misinformation and seem like they cannot grasp certain concepts as to when they are corrected, and no matter how much someone corrects them with good information, they reject it. People want these kinds of players removed from the site, or to not allow them to post (which is pretty much removing them from the site anyways), but who are they to judge that someone is incapable of learning? If you try to teach someone algebra and they don't get it after several lessons, do you just kick them out of the school? Pretty harsh. There ARE rare occasions in which someone may be banned/removed from the site because of their gameplay related info. One such example was reaVer. ReaVer was an Order Sol player from Europe that had a notorious reputation for giving advice that, more or less, required someone to be 100% psychic or have one frame reaction times. Another such member would be Clayton/Final Showdown. While FS was one of the early members of the GGXX community and greatly helped the community get on its feet in terms of gameplay information, his information eventually became "empty" information. In other words, he would make posts about useless or secret glitches that were impractical, but tried to pass them off as legitimate or gamebreaking strategies. He would also reference to them in his posts, but never explain them in detail because he was too lazy to explain it to anyone that had not seen a previous post of his burried in the bowels of DL somewhere. Eventually it reached a boiling point in which all of his posts were like that, so we removed him from the site. These were very rare and extreme cases, and really there hasn't been cases like either of them since. One could argue that Blade is such a case, but having been part of the community since gamecombos.com, I'm confident in saying that Blade isn't nearly as bad as either of those two, and slowly but surely, he is becoming aware of his own ignorance. If we only want a community that removes "bad" players that don't learn and never improve, Dustloop may as well be a private, tree house community with a "no girls allowed" sign on the door. I think we had a site like that once, RomanCancel.com at one point, but that site failed very hard, very quickly. Or maybe it wasn't RomanCancel.com, but I do recall a private GG site going up at one point and it did not do very well at all. As far as a reputation kind of system (medals, gold stars, candy, whatever), that is pretty pointless. The only thing that matters in a fighting game community is tournament results, and anyone who cares about the competitive scene will know who the good players are and what their accomplishments are. Players don't need small little icons to represent their tournament accomplishments. If we had a kind of system where we had contribution points that essentially did nothing but add small little icons under people's names or something, it would probably do more harm than good. People would try to contribute not because they want to help the community, but rather that they just want silly little icons under their name. End result would likely be more misinformation spreading than we have now. So what can we do as a community? Less trolling, more contributing. People that spread misinformation will always be part of the community, and it's up to the sensible people of the community to correct them and more or less make sure proper information is given. Don't troll them, as it only makes things worse. People tend to forget this is a community and it needs to be treated as such. Staff cannot babysit the community in order to make it grow, and if we did like people are suggesting, we're just going to turn into Smash Boards where some secret society decides everything for the community. It is up to the community to improve itself, not a handful of people deciding what's best.

That's kind of cool I guess, but I'm not sure what they hope to gain from giving us those things.

This thread has always been shit, but there has been a few posts that had constructive criticism. Unfortunately I'm kind of busy right now, so I can't really give proper, serious responses. I will, however, do so when I have some time later today.
