UnDeath eyah, but those people arent much better now, so it wont really matter.
Apr 29th, 2003 08:27 PM
noob3 The ignore function will be dumb, people will start being babies and ignoring everyone. And people will try to use it in arguements, IE: If you have ever played BW and sat in -x17 long enough, there was nothing lamer than some snobby high-level person typing this 1 line in a chat

"Ignored"

Ugh :vomit

Jixby Phillips LETS TALK ABOUT HOW WELL WE'VE STUCK TO THE SUBJECT
Apr 29th, 2003 08:13 PM
Mockery Yeah, it must be serious if the subject hasn't gone from board rules to a discussion about the physics of a rhubarb cannon by the end of page 1.
Apr 29th, 2003 07:49 PM
slavemason Six fucking pages
And you stuck to the subject
It's time for a change
Apr 29th, 2003 07:18 PM
Mockery The ignore feature probably isn't going to be implemented, at least not yet. I'm still waiting to hear back from the guy who wrote it...

UnDeath if you do incorporate the ignore list, are you going to have a list in their profile to see who they are blocking? Kinda as a slap in the face to those blocked/ they'll know not to reply to their comments
Apr 29th, 2003 02:28 PM
Mockery Just wanted everybody's general input on the situation, which you have all given. As soon as I have the chance, I'm gonna sit down and work up a "forum guidelines" which myself and the other mods will start enforcing. Nothing too strict, it's just going to make some idiots think twice before they post more unwanted garble.

KevinTheOmnivore I think it's up to the admins, primarily Roger, what it is that we will ultimately do here.

So what will it be? Do you guys (ie. Doopa, Boogie, Roger, etc.) want us to vote on something, or have you already made a decision....?
Apr 29th, 2003 01:33 AM
CastroMotorOil aye

The_Rorschach I second Carni's motion.

All in favour?
Apr 28th, 2003 10:45 PM
Carnivore This was a long time coming. Good riddance to those who are too stupid to know when to shut the fuck up.

I think its funny that so many of the people who are the problem have just hopped into this thread acting like its blessed sunshine come to save them from the bad newbs.

Personally I have no idea what you guys should do. A gayups forum sounds good, but in the long run would just encourage more bad juu-juu. Deleting the post count will make things even worse in the long run because in the mind of many newbs recognition=acceptance, thus without a post count the only other method for them is by constantly seeking attention, hence even more posting. Frequent locks or bannings is the most reasonable long term solution, but it makes me a sad panda.

You already bitched about that to me in private messages a while ago along with a few other things such as "why don't you tell people to reduce their sig sizes! waaaah!" which I always do, get a new line... unless of course you'd like to sponsor the site yourself and pay the bills. Then you can post all the useless garble on the boards you want, Corky.

And Jixby, don't worry about the over-moderating or anything. There's not gonna be some huge ban-fest or anything like that. I'm probably going to add another forum for general nonsense where people who basically want to try and be funny to impress each other can post whatever they want. General Blabber, however, will be reserved for random conversations that actually have some kind of a point. I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on things once the new rules are implemented... but we've got good moderators on here and I'm not worried about any of them going on some crazy power rush.

Well maybe Mew would, but he's always been crazeh like dat. o.O

Jixby Phillips I've been thinking about what has gone on since this thread has started. I don't like people who don't have anything to say, but post anyway, but I also don't like people who do nothing but complain about the quality of posts. Just because a thread is started with any kind of point or agenda or something doesn't garuntee it's going to be good. So when a thread is posted that doesn't seem to have a point, it SHOULDN'T automatically be replied to with "This doesn't have a point! Mockery, lock this!"

Without any moderation you have TOO many annoying threads/members, but when there's too much moderating it begins to feel like Nazi Germany. Moderators AND members need to learn to relax. New people are too grabby for acceptance and Moderators are begining to be too grabby for finding imperfections and excuses to lock or delete threads.

davinxtk Hey, does anyone else remember when these I-Mockery "veterans" used to be able to expel the lower forms of life with their words, rather than bans and counts and the like?

I remember when this board was a grand place. I remember when people couldn't afford to act like idiots, or they'd get their shit shredded by these once sharp-minded excuses for "veteran" "mockers".

If you guys don't like the shit that's going on in General Blabber, RECLAIM YOUR OWN TERRITORY. How can you call yourselves mockers if you don't MOCK the ripe targets in front of you?

Or I could be completely wrong, and banning Robo and Crunch might be a good idea.
Of course, many of you would include me in that mass-banning, i'm sure.

FS Kasual Blabber. Sorry.

Actually, I'm the only one that uses that name. I'm trying to start a Secret Evil Society of I-Mockery in Classifieds, but so far I've gotten no one to learn the secret code lingo in which we post.

Though most people appreciate the shade of pink I used for our flag.
