You win nothing except the scorn that will be rained down on you for creating this thread.

mark 18th April 2003 14:15

ooh, Someone make me a major d00d!

eleet-2k2 18th April 2003 14:17

Nobby, it's gay posts and threads like this which serve absolutely no purpose save for increasing your post count that everyone around here is pissed off about (thought not wholly because of this, and not wholly pissed at you, if anyone).

If you want the forums to become better, limit useless posts, post pumping and stupid threads.

Btw- the fact that idiot has 2000 posts and you have 500 can leads me to believe you've been doing an okay job at limiting dumb posts. (No offense idiot, I simply used you to illustrate a point).

Mr Jones 18th April 2003 14:17

I'll reset your post count back to zero if you like :)

fwgx 18th April 2003 14:19

Fuck you Nobby!

Raz 18th April 2003 14:19

Fuck off nobby, seriously. I know flaming isn't tolerated but take a look at this thread. Nobby, What are your posts going to get you. Is your new title going to get you respect. NO, its going to get you less respect becuase you're such a fucking asshole. You contribute nothing, but utter shite posts. You have no use and everyone would be happier if you weren't here. Leave.

mark 18th April 2003 14:26

actually, i just dont get on the internet very often...

its probably safer for everyone that way...

papadoc 18th April 2003 14:27

This thread needs to be locked.
It serves no purpose but to self inflate an ego,
increase a post count, and create the same atmosphere
that's wrong with this forum.
As a matter of fact...
there's allot more threads here that need to be locked,
and allot more advice and warnings given.
Someone really needs to take control of this place,
someone who's not scared to enforce the rules,
and not scared of the constant ridicule by the other members
including other mods, for taking action.

SSJ4 Gogitta 18th April 2003 14:29

I still want my Forum Teiid title...

mark 18th April 2003 14:30

why do you all take this so seriously, am i not allowed a bit of fun every now and then?

mark 18th April 2003 14:39

Can I make a serious post and ask for my name to be capitalized into

Nobby Nobbs


please?

Raz 18th April 2003 14:40

You're allowed fun. Is posting a shite thread to add a little 1 to your post count so you get ridiculed by everyone fun to you?

I'm calm but this guy needs a good slap.

Mr Jones 18th April 2003 14:40

Done.

/wow, that's quick even for me, less than a minute from request to action,I'm on fire today :D

SSJ4 Gogitta 18th April 2003 14:44

:: points at his own request and walks away whistling ::

On a side note, a more realistic request, can i have the underscre in my name changed to a space?

Mr Jones 18th April 2003 14:47

Done.

/Schwiiiing


/god I'm bored today....

ryan 18th April 2003 14:50

Erm nobby, I posted a lot in the Milkdrop forums. (Posting presets and whatnot) thats why I have more than you. Don't call me a post pumper though. Look at anubis :) he's only been around a few months.

mc^^^^ 18th April 2003 15:03

i vote that!

ctn|chrisw 18th April 2003 16:14

a mod should add like 400 more for the "FUCK YOU NOBBY!" poll choice :p

Raz 18th April 2003 16:50

A mod should delete this post and delete 10 posts off the users post count for every post-pump type post spotted from anyone. Maybe that will stop this type of shit starting in the forums. Will that happen? No. Why? maybe a mod can answer that one.

Mr Jones 18th April 2003 16:54

Because, when we over moderate, you all cry "the mods are too harsh, this is supposed to be a fun place for irelevant nonsense, wahahahah", so we let stuff slide, and then we get "this place needs more moderation, it's full of crap limp posts and irelevant nonsense , whahahah", so we then over moderate and you all go back to point one, wash, repeat , rinse......

See, we can't win either way

The real art is learning walking the line in the middle, if only people could see that..

/and dont change your post on me while im typing....

ctn|chrisw 18th April 2003 16:54

Raz_001 Theres an ignore list for a reason

Raz 18th April 2003 17:06

Correction. The people who post pointless crap whinge when you over-moderate. People who have a few brain cells want you to actually do something about pointless posts.

Noble of you, dlinkwit27. You did say somewhere you wouldn't mind if it was done, either. Well, if a post count of zero is what dlinkwit27 wants, ...

bah, peple know me, thats what matters. peopel don't pay attention to me caue i have "forum king" under my penuin, they pay attention cause they know the penguin. They know who I am and know that I am not a complete dip-shit (most the time ;)). Same as how I woudl respeoct Mr. Jones, Gonzo, will, sawg, or anyone else even if the didn't have CT's. I know their name, and that is what matters.

/edit

now for people like nobby, all he cares about is his post count and title. Doesn't matter. Even if he ever becomed forum king i'll still think of him as a complete ass with nothign worth saying. The only reason I don't use the ignore lsit is so that I know what people are talking about when htye flame him.

Raz 18th April 2003 17:23

I apologised for that many times. You have my permission to search back all my pointless posts, delete them and remove the appropriate ammount of posts from my post count. I say remove post counts entirely though so i don't care. None of this major dude junior member nonsense, just plain old forum activity.

Nah, that would be to heavey a deal, purging old posts only freaks up following posts and stuff, nah.

Besides a certain ammount of sillines is always welcome to a point.

Post counts are fairly usefull to me, they always help me see who is a new person in the crowd, I've lost count of how many times I've seen a new name with like 3 posts to their credit, being the person I am, I usualy then search posts for that person, and a fair ammount of time, you often find them crossposting the same topic, so in that sense they are usefull to me, that's one of the reasons mods can see them still.

Raz 18th April 2003 17:33

Ok no post counts available to any non-mods. It was no use removing them from the straight up veiw if you're going to leave them in the profile. Remove them from veiw of regular members entirely. Would be a much better environment i think.

And i didn't mean all threads that don't have a point, i mean just blatant out and out, very obvious post pumping.

Mr Jones 18th April 2003 17:34

I'll suggest it, and see if our resident VB expert can do a hack for it like he did for mod view only.

An a perfect world that would be nice, but this is far from a perfect world. I've lost count of how many times i've answered a question in a thread only to find it's been crossposted somewhere else and an answer to their question has already been given.

When post counts were visible it was easier to guess. If a member had just joined and had 2 or 3 posts under their name it was worth hitting the profile button and then 'search for all posts by this user' to check if it had been crossposted. Without being able to see post counts it's harder to tell, either check every time there's a question posted by a junior member (since 90% of the questions asked in the ts forums are by junior members it's a pain in the ass) or leave it to chance and hope it hasnt already been asked and answered yet.

But without either it would be even more difficult (at least mod's can see post counts, so it's easier for them).

If people were junior members until they had 10 posts, then moved to member status (and they were the only 2 ranks available) it might work, but i think deep down some people like being a major dude or a forum king or whatever.

dlinkwit27 18th April 2003 17:39

i was thrilled when i becasme "forum king" actually. i thought it was cool, but the excitement quicky dided when i realized it meant nothign really :)

papadoc 18th April 2003 17:43

I went to the grocrey store the other day,
and tried to pay for my stuff with my post count.
They laughed at me.
I said: "Wait...I'm a Forum King, you have to take my post count."
They laughed at me again.
I left with no groceries.

ohhjebus 18th April 2003 20:39

Who cares?

Yes Nobby is an idiot for making the thread.
Yes its a stupid thread. but it takes up what, 30 seconds of your time? You clicked on the thread knowing full well what the thread was going to be about. If you don't like a thread click on the back button. Or use a mouse gesture if you've got one, cause mouse gestures kick ass.

becuase if we let him do it, then we haev to let everyone. it's not just about flaming nobby, tis about saying that stupid threds like these only get you flamed and make peopel lose respeoct for you. This way (haha) newer members won't haev the desire to follow suit.

ohhjebus 18th April 2003 20:57

i know, but its pretty obvious that they are stupid threads, so why not just ignore them? Let them make the stupid threads and ignore it.
