brief Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Do you think blonds are not smart? Do you think divorce is ok? I personally think it's a bit much, even for a forum like The Harbor, where we talk about almost anything, and it seems like just spam to me. However, others might not think so. So I'm putting it up for the democratic process--should I delete those threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercatfat Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 We don't delete because we want evidence. I did, however, take the initiative and closed them. I merged them and then hypocitically deleted some of the replies that weren't important, specifically your and Al's reply to the God thread.

Darth Groovy Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I don't have a problem with it as long as it sticks to the subject at hand. This kids, should be and example of what NOT to post: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95472 All I can say about this one is: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Goya Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 SORRY!!!!!!! I did not know all the rules. Only now am I actually starting to understand spam thanks to Suuri Yksl and Darth Groovy's picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brief Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 I probably wouldn't have said anything if you had only made one poll thread. But when you start multiple threads within a half hour without waiting for any replies, they begin to seem like... well, spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Xbox Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I don't undertand why you have to delete any posts or topics unless they are offensive. This part of the forum is basically "General Discussions" in disguise isn't it? I think you should only edit or delete offensive or nasty posts. Just leave the others alone. After all, whats wrong with people talking about what they want? Thats why you have different sections of the forum, to talk about different things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 do you think blodes are smart is the basis for a discussion, but knowing the people here, it could turn into one of three things, an full ouy argument, a flame thrower (insults) or a spam fest. the divorce one wasn't as bad, but as brief said before, posting too many posts in a short time is basis for spam.

Kjølen Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Well do you think blondes are dumb might be offensive, namely, blonde people, but the divorce thread seemed a-ok. But your right that it might turn spammish, though, many threads here do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, she was not breaking any rules (although she was bordering on spam, and it was annoying). Therefore, I wanted to go through with a democratic process of letting fellow forumers decide. And it seem as of right now, the majority agree with me, although the point is moot, now that the threads have been combined and closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjølen Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Ehh, I don't really want to scold you, but posts with under 3 words are highly frowned apon in most situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 He did his job, the post and the subject did not match, hence it was spam. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Xbox Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Ehh, I don't really want to scold you, but posts with under 3 words are highly frowned apon in most situations. Sigh... Who cares? "frowned upon" Pfft. So is this forum some sort of hierarchy? It doesn't seem very fun to me. Your all too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 what has hierarchy got to do with it, we just don't like people upping their post count with meaningless posts (or at least not too often). i frankly didn't mind when you said OK, or at least can tollerate it and most of the people here can tolerate it if it's relevent to the subject in hand. kjolen was simply pointing out to you that one word answers aren't always classed as a post, but more as spam. despite what you may think, you do have a lot of freedom here, just within certain boundaries, as you would find with anything.
