That's good that you aren't bothered by it, but what if others are? I for one, hate when people just post random crap here. I can put up with it occasionally, but not when it's all the time. The thing is a rules a rule. And if BadScript dosen't want people spamming here, then it shouldn't happen, that's all I'm trying to say. |
Joe, it's all very well to make grand speeches, but I think the problem is you don't even "get" half the humor
or even see what it is people are enjoying. Your thread locking spree yesterday (ninty9, Bleuchudu (SP?)) before anyone could even see what was said, was a classic example of pure ignorance. |

Look, honestly, I have't seen one post in favour of lockage. All I see is people opposed to it, and these people make up this community. Without them this board would be nothing.
Listen to the people, I say. Best way to do it. You can't please everyone but damn, I think the call on this particular topic is quite clearly cut in favour of being more lenient on locking posts. As it used to be posts got locked for pretty much only a few reasons: 1) Mentioning or discussing cheats and/or warez. 2) Abusive behaviour (Lord, even this would have to go far before it got locked, if it did at all) 3) Utterly pointless and spammy topics (but by this I mean ones that are quite evidently off-topic on General forum. Er, that's about it. Dodd and Rudedog would step in maybe once a week to lock a thread and the forums didn't suffer for it. Opinion, you might say, but I'll bet I have more agreeing with me on this than not. I will say this once and for all that it is just about the most annoying thing to have a discussion or argument (even a flame-war) cut short by lockage with only a reason that it's spam. If it were spam then we'd not post on it, would we? Even worse is not being able to post on it at all. Let's all just talk in PMs, shall we? The edit button has gone already, is it the New Topic button next? |
after they took for B.S. out of the title of this forum...I think we need spam to deal with the pain.

spam= pork stuff

Ive been seeing alot of locked threads lately becuase of the newbies and they dont know wat to post so they just post useless threads sometimes i was even accused of spamming but i wasnt since joe cleared my name i wasnt spamming (thx joe by the way) but the point is their must be a way we can stop spamming we cant just simply get rid of Offtopic forum if we do their will be alot of complaints since the Edit button was taken away then people will start leaving AA.com their must be a better solution to stop spam instead of getting rid of the Offtopic becuase spam accures in mostly every forum on AA.

Well, sometimes the spam can get out of hand but this is an "off-topic" forum so stupid shit will be posted here from time to time. Also, the sigs are definately out of hand and i'm guilty of that too. It doesn't bother me too much since i'm not on dial-up but i feel for those guys.
About the lamest thing a mod can do besides locking a thread, is editing someones post.......thats bad, very bad. It hasn't happened to me here yet but thats the worst in my book. My .02 |

thanks for your thought s on this matter |
Hey judas - looks like you add another locked AND EDITTED thread to your prior count. Why would a mod edit someone else's post and not state that they had editted it? Whats the word I am looking for? I think I used it earlier.....hmmmmm...oh yeah..... chickenshit!
|
Very well put pest. But their must be a way we can stop spam and make people stop making useless threads.
