Congratulations on deflecting attention from my opinion and ideas for the forums by the way - you chose a great thread in which to change the subject to that of me being Reese. That's spectacularly effective way to insure that my ideas are ignored isn't it. After all we wouldn't want someone like me stirring up shit right? Right, only you guys are allowed to do that. Yeah, freedom of speech is an illusion, only lasts for as long as people like what they hear, and if they start to hear something that they don't like, they try their very best to shut you down and brush it under the proverbial carpet. That's the problem with having idiots in positions of power. You don't like my opinion of this place? You don't like my ideas? Fine, just say so and I'm sure everyone will have a whale of a time not giving a shit. Those that do agree have their reasons, which they formed using their own minds. The people who believe in themselves aren't going to be held back by some two bit attempt to obstruct the debate, that's so shoddily assembled it might as well be held together with chewing gum, from someone who is obviously in the pocket of everyone else who's been parroting this "you're Reese" conspiracy bullshit ad nauseum. So don't insult our intelligence. Now, as for the subject at hand, my opinions have been stated clearly enough. My opinions are not right or wrong, they are just opinions. If your opinions match mine, then good for you, maybe there might be some truth in them. If they don't, then it's either because it's convenient for you to take the opposite stance to me so that you can have an argument, or perhaps there isn't so much truth in it as there is room for opinion. Either way there are always the idiots who never contribute anything of worth or readability, who still manage to slip by because they "aren't doing anything wrong". Right, that's my contribution for the week. Time to bugger off and get back to being "away". |
Peace, we must have,a distubance in the force I feel. Yes newbies can be a pain, but newbies also look at us as tight-wads too. Seriously what it comes down to who is really making a big deal over the crap is us the older members. I mean how many little spits do we get into on the forums, just about one every day. What people need to see is words are more harsh then speaking to someone.
If you in person where messing around with someone and called them retarded they could tell you are joking by your tone of voice, if on the forums you respond to someone with "your a retard" they can't tell your kiding. That is why there are way more fights on forums then in person. Know to the part where I agree with Dino, yes there are newbies who join to make hell of everything cause they think it is funny, yet there are also newbies who don't know better, and we know Alcar can't take any of the blame for fights, he didn't start them, he is doing the best he can as a one man army, AbeBabe you too, considering you are on at different times. I do believe that sheer crap that is put into threads can be punished through the example of being flamed a little just so they figure out that the choice they made was a bad one, but not to the point where they tell all their friends were a bunch a pricks, also someone who may be considering joining wouldn't find it welcoming for someone with 3 posts to have his block knocked off. But they should be flamed some just so they don't do it again (cause thats more affective, sad to say, then a polite letter asking them not to do it again. Crap I wrote way to long again! |
Garg, Odd Trusting, read the whole thread. Although I totally disagreed with Dino, at least I read his posts enough to understand he didn't mean just new members. He's made so many posts clearing that up, and if you cause him to make one more long-winded, ranty post about how no one understands him because of your post, I'm going to... well, do nothing. But I'm going to do nothing angrily! :|

#1:We are trying to encourage people to join not get them out as soon as they come! #2:It's god damn Mean! #3:R ewe blind? that topic is spam it's self. |

2: Why? If someone acts like a prick, they should be treated like one should they not? It's only mean when people treat others like shit regardless of whether they're behaving or not. 3: Why is this topic spam? Why is it so convenient to just call everything that you don't like or disagree with "spam"? Alcar has already responded to this thread, and hasn't closed it for being "spam"...so are you questioning his judgement? |

Not meaning to sound overly egotistical here, but everyone just stop your bitching, and accept the fact that there are many imbociles on this forum. And that we are simply trying to act as an anti-spamalammer force. EDIT: omg i suond liek nazi lol lol imo. |
Yea, evryone keeps misunderstanding it, thinking that Dino is talking about the newbies.
But he's clearly talking about the n00bs, the people that spam, and never learn the first few times we correct them. Oh, and Alpha, why is it mean that we are trying to keep our community clean for morons that do no contribution to it at all? We aren't talking about hunting Newbies away, which evrybody seems to think. But the god-damn n00bs. I'm kind of getting tired of people arguing with Dino's suggestion, when they haven't read all posts, and understood them. But as Ambi says, she has read all posts, and she still disagrees, which is acceptable. But i really think that the spam has kind of settled down a bit now... but that's just me. |
You can't allow flaming in ANY form and then expect it to go away.
The idea of allowing people to flame/spam in thread designed for flaming/spaming kinda defeats the purpose of not allowing flaming/spaming. (BTW, I know they're two different things, but it holds true for both) Unless you're willing to have a designated 'anything goes' area, you have to keep moderating all threads for flaming/spamming |
