Things not present on this website:

Blatant racism, homophobia and bigotry.

Arguments descending into personal attacks (usually).

Spamming of the boards with from Chinese sites offering crap goods and/or viruses.

Political debates getting out of control.

Over the top profanity no matter how much I try and sneak it in

Idiots being jacka**es for the hell of it.

"Real" trolls.

If you wan't all of those horrible things above, please head on down to YouTube
By the way, how is the GoNintendo Forum?

Oh god, the comments on Youtube are the worst thing ever. I used to enjoy looking through them but I can't take it anymore.

That is funny that people are complaining about the comments on You tube. Anytime I post a video now I disable the comments section because I tired of being the police man of the comment section. I really wish You Tube had a feature that would hide the comments because people get really nasty to each other on that site.

I enjoy this site primarily for its moderating. Some might accuse it of being heavy-handed on occasion but I think it's just right. Besides, web sites aren't democracies as some people may erroneously think. It's a great group that I think, on occasion, might be stretched a bit thin but I'm saying that out of pure concern and not malcontent.

Secondarily, I like the review team. It may seem minor, but I like seeing them (and the mods) participate in various threads and discussions throughout the site. The closest parallel I can come up with to how I feel is this: It's like the Lieutenant that hangs out and has a good time with the "grunts".

For the most part, the user base is pretty nifty too. Some let their brains rule them. Some let their emotions rule them. I can't fault either group, but there invariably tends to be conflict between the two camps. There are some users I miss like V and Machu. Mostly because I can relate to them better I think. There are also users that tend to push my buttons pretty quickly but I try to brush them off as best I can.

I haven't noticed people being more rude than usual, myself. It's certainly a lot better than the entirety of 2009, that's for sure. Still, as others have said, it's probably just because this place is getting bigger.

2009 was really slow, back then.

Don't they auto hide the comments if they get below a certain threshold?

@Adam Well I wouldn't exactly say it's human behaviour. I mean in real life hardly anyone would be stupid enough to cause an argument like that with me. The main issue here is the anonymity of the internet. People can essentially say anything they want without any real repercussions.

As far as I can tell, all those people are just joking. Besides, even if they do think it's stupid that doesn't effect you, so why let it get to you?

The worst thing in this site is me, and I'm not even that bad
This place is not as bad as CapcomUnity.com, personal attacks everywhere over one simple opinion!
So far, everyone here keeps it clean, I never see any profanity,
and the worst trolling I seen here is "3DS sux, Sony Rule" and if you get mad over that, then you need some help u_u
After all, My trolling is only harmless fun, I'm not really trying to hurt anyone, I'm just trying to make U ⓂⒶⒹ ◕‿‿◕

For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.

I used to be a regular on the GoNintendo forums for months. Be warned, the admins (cortjezter and KingBroly) are very strict with banning. I mainly visit the site for the news. Rawmeat Cowboy (RMC) is very quick with posting news.

I have seen many other forums that have much bigger problems and more trolls compared to this website. The mods make sure nothing gets out of hand, and the community is still the best I have seen on any website that I have visited so far. Every forum is going to have a fanboy or troll, but the majority of users are not like that.

Besides, the trolls on NL today are nothing compared to Orlick.

And? Just because they are on a Nintendo fansite doesn't mean they have to kiss the ground they walk on.

I'm new here, but the things you've mentioned are quite insightful and generally ring true from my experiences in other online communities. In particular (as a successful example) the website CivFanatics.
