Spam (split thread)

The current setup is just fine, at least it would be if it were used correctly. People spam up Gen Con all of the time even though spam belongs in the chat forum, it's just how things are, and they aren't all new members either. Instead of enforcing the rules like they should, the mods just move spammed up Gen Con threads to the chat forum, even if it is a great conversational thread, if a bunch of people start spamming it up it gets landed in the chat forum.

I agree with you. People need to fucking grow up. Titusfied, mantra, act your age.

So I logged onto a friends comp to get him the website for a .09 hack and didn't log in, well K_A we do have a forum, you can't veiw d2hacks/bots unless logged in. SDo chrooozer/ww is already a head of you ^_^

I had to read your post twice to understand it, and even then I don't see how it has any relevance to this thread. I'm aware that you have to be logged in to see the D2 hacks and bots forum.

Oh shit there are 4 spam posts this thread is ruined. I can't believe how some people are so lazy they can't sift through a few posts. I don't think I have super human reading speeds but damn ...if I'm interested in the thread I read through it all :o.

I'm not talking about threads that have a couple of spam posts in them, I'm talking about threads that are RUINED by spam, one person starts it and it keeps going until the thread is completely off topic.

There's a good example of what I'm talking about.

Also you might want to read the stickied RULES of Gen Con.

This forum was made for serious discussion and for threads that the creaters don't want infested by spam. I have decided to lay a few basic rules for this forum. If you have a problem with any of them, feel free to cuss me out on aim (Wanker22287) or p.m. me.

1) Only serious topics can be posted here. No stupid threads that in any way resemble " i can eat you if i want too" are permitted. Threads such as these will be immediatly be move to the chat forum, or, if bad enough, shitcanned on sight.

2) Try to keep the context of your post on topic to the thread title. If the thread is about "Outlawing makeup" (just a stupid example), the posts must reflect the posters opinions and views on what is said about outlawing makeup. From this point on, no "this is the stupidest thread i have seen", or "I want to hit mysefl for reading this" remarks will be tolerated. Posts that are like that will immediatly be removed to teh trash can, and constant perpetrators can and most likely will be temp banned.

3) As with every forum except the flame forum itself, NO FLAMING IS ALLOWED. IF i or anybody else catches you going off, flaming and calling people names, you will be warned. Repeat offenders can and most likely will be temp banned.

Im all for people having fun and spewing off topic, but general convo is not the place for it. May i introduce you to the chat forum for that. Spam all you want there. Say you hate this and hate that there. Say you want to beat youselffor reading this thread there. KEEP IT OUT OF HERE

Well ...as true as that may be ...Chuck Norris jokes are funny right now ...it'll go away soon enough then you can have your thread back :o

I agree Chuck Norris jokes are indeed funny, I enjoy them myself, but they don't belong in that thread. Those posts should be split out into a new thread for Chuck Norris jokes or something. The thread is NOT about Chuck Norris jokes.

Let them enjoy themselves in the chat forum, that's where it belongs. General Conversation is for serious discussion, not for Chuck Norris jokes.

Fair enough. I'd still have to disagree with the idea of a senior members forum :P. Don't know how much incentive that would give ...most people would just go somewhere where they could access all the content without the hassle :P.

Complaints (split thread)

The lines between the chat forum and general conversation are very blurred right now, methinks. If you care that much I will crack down on it a bit. However, some threads just go through natural conversation changes, it's called transition. It's hard to pick what goes and what is relevant... because in a way it's all relevant. Unless it's just random blabbing, in which case it goes.

You're a Mod. You're supposed to enforce the rules all the time, not only if someone asks.

To be brutally honest, you're helping to blur the line between the two, not sharpening it up like Mods are supposed to.

See my edit.

Also, it also ties into my philosophy that we are NOT active enough of a board for anyone to really crack the whip. [Hence why WW removed all the mods.] We do not have 500+ members on at a time that requires much rule enforcing. As long as it brings some activity without being outlandishly retarded (think zagggon) I think it's fair to leave it. I'll be looking a little more closely at that, but I still think my reasoning is just.

Still, people are complaining that the Gen Con has become another Chat Forum. If the mods were enforcing those rules anyway, instead of doing so only after being asked then people wouldn't be complaining.

And can I ask, what was the point behind changing every single "labtop" in Ganga's thread to "laptop"? Fair enough if Ganga asked you to edit his post and title, but to edit the whole thread?

Who is complaining, exactly? I haven't really seen anyone complain except KA, and he complains about everything.

It was my way of warning them to stop spamming about "labs."

Read through threads and posts recently, and people are starting to say that Gen Con and the Chat Forum are becoming too much alike.

And would it not have been easier just to tell everyone to stop posting about "labtops"? Not everyone is on the same wavelength as you. There's probably no-one else here who knew off the top of their head that you changed everything as a warning.

Reading through the thread, only a few people were not talking about the specs of the laptop. I'm not naming names, but you can find out eaily who they are. I wasn't for one, I just replied to a post explaining how Freshamn call laptops "labtops". The conversation carried on fine.

And then there are threads that have gone off the rails, yet they are still going with no editting.
