I feel like clubs are better than OTF

Before you say “RaGeBaIt iGnOrE”, I will tell you why I think so, and I expect posts with meaning behind it.

Reason 1: OTF can be attacked by trolls easily, with reports taking a very long time to get them banned from OTF. But you can be a “mod/staff” (aka admin/SA), and mute/ban those trolls. There are clubs that are private, and can see if the account is suspicious, and they can check if they have trolled. Whereas, everyone can access or see OTF, and troll. Trolls will come back to OTF, and use disposable emails, or VPNs. I’m not saying clubs are troll-free, since there are some clubs that can take a long time to acknowledge the problem.

Reason 2: I feel like clubs have better forums quality. All I ever see on OTF a nowadays are stupid crap like above you threads, “copycats” of OTFDNT, and simple ragebait topics. I feel like clubs have better forum quality, although they can have above you threads, but still. There’s not a lot of threads that copy each other in clubs, like OTF has  that problem of copying.

Reason 3: People from clubs are much nicer than OTFers, I don’t see a lot of people that insult each other in clubs, and people from clubs respect each other. Im not saying OTF ask very disrespectful, but oh gosh, have I seen the “comfort” that others gave to the person that is feeling down. (Ok, maybe this reason is invalid, because I’ve just seen some stuff that are not comforting.)

(Testing thread pt 2)

I didn't read, but I do think clubs are better!

Speaking of rage-bait posts...

You are one of the reasons I made this thread, by the way.

Basix makes ragebait posts?

I’m not saying that all people are rude here, I’m saying that there are ****some**** that are rude, and react the wrong way in some situations.

No.
