Ah, but this is spam, heretic. Can't you tell? So's most of what you are posting. I never said the modding community would collapse- you didn't read my post. The heart of a community, if it is strong, usually survives, but it's not a pretty sight, and it will be something utterly different, lacking the sort of support and page HLP has, a community that occasionally replenishes yourself, and less tenacious members such as yourself.



wrong again. this topic is concerning the board, and productive in bringing point.
there's a diffference between this post, and ones like this:

it started good, but degenerated.

since you seem to have so little regard for what others have to say that you only read so much as will fuel your little masturbatory fury.


I apologize, I apologize that I don't take any regard in a pathetic, ignorant, little ****tard that can't stand any criticism. There is a point to this thread, and until you actually state more than your theory that "spam holds a forum together" than you should go and play on yahoo more.


EDIT: I am sorry to post and leave, but I have renders to do, and an RPG to play.

Ah. So untill I agree with you, I'm a- how do you put it? "****tard". The memories of fifth grade abound. At any rate, I don't think I'm the one who can't take any criticism here, as I have yet to descend to the language of the trolls to bicker.

If this topic is productive in that it has a point, it would not appear to be your point. You, the ostensible anti-spammer, are making the VBB flamers look clever and well-mannered. If you don't have anything to say at all, then don't say it. Simple as that.

Aside from which, THIS topic I have seen as well, and not only on forums outside this one. Productive? How much does your grand, sweeping statement change? Even if you go out and ban all the "spammers", also known as those you do not like, who do not talk about what you like to talk about, do you REALLY think it will change anything except the list of names?

These two bits had me laughing quite hard... :D :D :D :D

As for my take on this, it really depends on how one defines "spam." (a precise definition is needed) Is it just off-topic stuff with respect to the forum, short posts, off-topic stuff with respect to the subject matter of the topic only, flame posts, nonsensical and contradictory posts, posts which are created only in an attempt to have some quick fun, or any of a number of other things?

Oh dear... :(

Well it seems a lot has happened since I went to bed last night. I have to say I don't like the way any of it has gone. I'm even tempted to start threatening people with banning at this stage (whom shall go un-named so we don't get more flames). Needless to say I'm very disappointed at how this has all gone downhill. I'll address the posters in person to make this easier to read...

heretic: The original topic was a good point, we try to provide for everyone as opposed to just doing things as we see fit and if everyone had had a mature discussion about how the board was going then it would almost certainly have been taken into account in the future. Unfortunately it wasn't and degenerated into the very stuff I asked it not to. Perhaps something like this can be done in future and people might just treat it with a little maturity the next time. Also, try not to pass out the flame bait - having known you for a while I know your trying to do the right thing in all this but half of what you've said  to Stryke hasn't done much other than provoke him.

Styxx... your last few posts were pure spam. Try and stay away from it if you can please :)

Shrike: I'd love to say something about setting an example but I share your view, so I won't.

Stryke... where to begin... Ok, firstly I've noticed for the last few weeks that your trolling. Try and cut back on it - half of what you've said here is pure flame bait and should never have been said. I honestly don't care how many communities you've been in and over how much time - it doesn't make you better than anyone else here and it certainly doesn't put you above the rules of this site. Your ranting is pure flame bait of the highest quality and I have to ask myself that if your so cultured in other communities and have been around so long - why didn't you notice that and not do it.

Shrike is indeed right about one thing though, and this goes for everyone really. If you don't likea community, the people or what they do and as such only stick around to be the biggest pain in the backside possible, leave. Continuing this behaviour will get you nothing but a possible banning, this isn't the first time you've done something stupid and I've no time to put up with people acting as you have. Sort yourself out or leave - it's your call. Personally I'd love to see everyone behave in a nice way to eachother and so on - I realise this isn't possible 100% of the time but you are performing the exact opposite of this and that I can do something about. Sort it out or I'll sort it out for you.



And for anyone else reading this - it's grade A material of what we're trying to prevent happening around here. This is the kind of thing that really annoys me. More than spamming sometimes - and if I was in a worse mood I'd be making examples of people right now as well. Topic Locked.
