Yeah, personally I've kinda realized that arguing this is kinda pointless.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It really isn't an important issue, though. "Important" is bad suggestion games are being creating so quickly that the forum is 504'ing and we have to invent a new metric to determine how many are posted per day. "Important" is not having to look a few extra pages to find good RPs relevant to your interests like I do.

And there's not really a good solution to that probablem...

What problem? Having to take an extra minute or so to scroll past a few pages of stuff you don't like? It literally takes more time than that to sign up for an RPG, usually.

The problem of low-quality or, worse, good but short-duration games.

Explain to me how that negatively affects you beyond "nyuh, I don't like it." If it pushes back good games and makes them harder to find: see the quote pyramid above for solution. If no other reason beyond bothering you and others: it's not actually a problem.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Actually, it is still a problem, just a minor one.

And short-lived but high-potential games do tend to be very sad, at least.

[freeformschooler]

No, it isn't. If you don't like something but it does not negatively affect you otherwise, you are the problem.

Mine's not.

Seriously though: After thinking on this for a while I've reached the conclusion that it's not time to segregate suggestion games. Rather it is time to set some sort of standard for them. Maybe I'm just being foolish though.

PPE:

Disliking something does not make you the problem. I am not affected by the KKK. I do not like them. I am not the problem. A bit of an over-exaggeration compared to what you just said.

He's admitted it's a small problem. He's simply stating that the poor games do drown out the better ones.

Let me rephrase then: if it is not negatively affecting anyone beyond being disliked, the people complaining about it are making a problem out of nothing.

And, like I say, the "better games" are just a click or so away.

[GreatWyrmGold]

No, it isn't. If you don't like something but it does not negatively affect you otherwise, you are the problem.

Aside from taking your logic to logical and absurd conclusions, you and I clearly have different definitions of the word "problem." I refer to it ass something which it would be preferable to have solved; you add that it's at least somewhat important to do so. I admitted that it was a quite minor problem, however, so I'm not sure what the point of the argument is...

[Fniff]

Funnily enough, this has gotten me in the mood to do a suggestion game.

WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?

That's much better. Some people view it as a problem because it drowns out the well thought out games. It seems to me that it's less an issue with suggestion games and more of one with quality.

"You are a person arguing on the internet about stupid shit"

Ironically, it will be a multi-part illustrated epic.

And then be used as an example of how the forum is being overrun by suggestion games in a few months time when this thread is dead and forgotten.

Before you go to the dark side, why not try out Continent of Centria? It's totally not a suggestion game... Or something. Nah but some SG are good. Just don't feed the bad ones.
