Don't dumb anything down for me. I'm as sharp as a marble.

Well, even though i think Ed can be an asshole at times, i gotta agree with him on this one. I've been seeing alot of threads get locked for no apparent reasons lately. I dunno why.....maybe it's because of the recent influx of newly appointed mods. I think every mod should go through a "mod school" so they can be consistent. There are too many inconsistencies between them. What may offend one mod may not offend another.
Spam is hard to control....just look at this very thread and you'll see spam spewing all around and don't even start with staying "On topic". Seems every thread strays from it's original topic for one reason or another.

/ me wonders if i'll be flamed for this ?

At least he's putting more effort into his insults than obviously his social life.

In regards to ARKAN - its the times we now live in. Honestly there should be a few mods who SERIOUSLY need to be checked by BS. Unfortunately, based on some of his comments, I dont see this happening ANYTIME soon, since a mods actions seem to be blindly supported. That may be an exagerration, but we have seen that BS will NOT reverse a mods decision since the mod "must" have had a good reason for doing so.

Bleah. And there are a couple of comments on this thread that NEED to be deleted since it's obvious they DO DELETE posts (and sometimes edit them to make themselves seem cool), and need to follow the damn rules themselves.

Which AGAIN, is the problems.

If I put up a thread containing "ed's greatest hits" - how in goods name does that A) Not make sense, B) Go to increase my post count (one aint a whole lotta difference), or C) go anywhere "off-topic" since I start my own thread.

Is it a lil "foo-foo" - perhaps. But to insert one of your patented "smarmy-ass-not-making-you-any-more-friends-than-you-already-DONT-have" - well I would consider that SPAMMING, THREAD-HIJACKING, and just DIRTY POOL. But please, let's let this be a forum where we can discuss the issues of SPAMMAGE and what some folks seem to have a problem with.

Ed, you ain't gonna make the debate team like this.

Whether "Ed's Greatest hits" is spam or not depends on what the message is. If "ed's greatest hits" is all that the thread is all about, without any explanation whatsoever, then of course it won't make any sense to normal users.

But if you follow the subject "Ed's Greatest hits" with, for example, a bunch of screenies showing off your greatest gaming moments in Pong, then I suppose none of us could accuse you of A) Not making any sense, B) posting in the sole purpose of increasing your post count, or C) go anywhere "off-topic".

Our rules are written for members that are over 13 years old, and I'm not saying this to diss you; there's a button that asks you whether you are below or over 13 when you register, and I tend to not activiate users that are below 13.

Then again, I guess they coulda just click on the other button, right Ed? eek:

Any more questions?[/quote:ecfed]
