Breton Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Do not think that JK2 is all spam, cause it is not. There is just a lot of people and a lot of threads. Ok there is a few spamming threads, but who is stupid enough to post there anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon_Leon Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 The main purpose here is to have responsible fun, folks. You'll find that once you stop focussing on your post-count and start delving into the riches of the forums' contents, you can respond to numerous topics that interest you and you might have something to say about. In recent months there has been an increase in semi-spam 'game' threads, but they have increased the fun here by the bucketloads.. (is that even a right expression ?m) Anyway, my point is: don't fret. Enjoy the boards. The grass is always greener in the other forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't talk about how great the other boards are, we talk about how bad the other boards are. Case and point: this thread. I guess you could say that the grass is always....browner...on the other forum. BTW, Rhett, its "than I!" Thats like grammar 101 man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Wow, that was random I never understood how having a higher post count or an older registration date makes you superior to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tie Guy Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Originally posted by Redwing Wow, that was random I never understood how having a higher post count or an older registration date makes you superior to someone else. Thats coming from a guy with 10000 posts. You seriously don't believe that since you've been here longer and have more posts than someone else you are a more...prominant member on these boards than someone who signed up yesterday and has 1 post? I certainly think you are. Posts don't matter as much, but experience sorta doesdoes. Like in sports, veterans are more valuable to a team, normally, than rookies. Posts, also, are a measure of how much time you spend here in most cases. Of course, some people spam to get their posts higher, but thats different altogether. And of course, this doens't work in everyones case, ala the JKII spammers, but it generally is a good indication IMO. It doesn't make you a superior person, just indicates superior committment and experience. I hate to use the word superior, though. That makes it seem like such a negative thing.

Tie Guy Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Originally posted by Rogue Nine Committment? Try too much free time. You say tomato, i say tomato. Seriously, though, I could use my free time (what little i now have) any way i want, but i choose to spend at least some of it, often times alot of it, here, thats committment, and of course it is fun too.

Surfnshannon Posted September 4, 2002 Author Share Posted September 4, 2002 I have been gone (nobody missed me) and this thread has grown. Anyways u guys are men so of course you would say "its not the post count size that matters...its how you post" uh huh All I was sayin is that here is an example of how much FRIGGIN SPAM is going on there. Let me go look and give you some examples...(just a randam check of the Post Titles) Made at 2:33 am on the 4th...here I go... 1. the "WTF" thread Find out why peeps dis newbies Fav piece of spam comment "cause they are newbs." 2. The "Whoa just realised something thread Did you know that? The acronym IMHO could be misinterpreted to I AM HO. 3. The "MY COMPUTER IS EVIL THREAD" Fav piece of spam "okay then..." Alright that's all I want to post right now. My theory on this whole "its not the count that matters...its what you post is..." So you think that "DARTH NEWBIE" who registered in July of 2002 can have 1,230 contributing posts? Or is it a Little EXCESISIVE! There is no way that even 100 of those could be even worth reading. No way. So...go ahead...defend them as you must. But I think that that forum is WAY tooo overflowed with ssssssspppppaaaam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may concur, But I do not. STTCT is picking on the swamp, eh? well, nothing personal, but there is a "you forgot my birthday" thread here..... so, don't think one forum is better then the other...... And also do not think all the swampers are newbs trying to get post count up, either. I am a vivid Swamper, ya know.... o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, happy birthday threads are acceptable, they make people feel good about themselves. Besides, you know we don't mean everyone, just most. And of course we aren't without our own problems, but most of them are in the past ,i think....for now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zygomaticus Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Originally posted by obi-wan13 Well, people come and go, and some register and not post AT ALL! Can you believe that? MANY, and I mean MANY people dont know that they are supposed to check their e-mail in order to validate their account. many give goofy e-mails and many are too lazy to read instructions, and many are just PLAIN DUMB.

Surfnshannon Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 I'm not saying that all of our threads are not spam-like. I mean that happens to the best of threads! Games are fun. I mean we had our TRIVIA TRIVIA days - but they got cut down right? We were moderated. I think that's my point....if you post something here...like a WTF thread and then post something silly - senseless - and retarded. Ur thread is going to get thrown away. Where is the moderation on that forum? I like some of the topics on the swamp. I even posted in the Spoon Story thread. Its all good. But I HATE reading having to scroll down through the senseless crap and sift through all the threads to pick out the meaningful (or at least somewhat) on topic posts! I know rant rant I just get frustrated with that forum! Some of the peeps are kewl dont get me wrong. But others... : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
