So, about that 15 posts rule...
 
Can we please get rid of it? All it's doing is making people spam the shit out of the forum to get to post a link. Who cares if they post a link. Delete it and ban them if it bothers you...:/

Cuthbert 10-13-2018 09:47 AM

Agree tbh.

Key 10-13-2018 09:59 AM

It's been a problem for years. I second this.

Frownland 10-13-2018 10:17 AM

Who cares if they spam the forum when their posts end up deleted? Just ignore it if it bothers you.

Maybe make it so that before you are able to post elsewhere on the forum, new members are required to create an introduction thread and make at least 5-15 posts in it? Or make an intro thread that has to be approved by a mod before they can post elsewhere on the forum?

You're such a troll that you would rather have more work to do than simply listen to constructive advice. Amaze.

My post was about as equally constructive as yours. If that bothers you, just ignore it :/.

And it's really not much work at all tbh. Quit trolling with your condescending posts.

grindy 10-14-2018 09:31 AM

It's also funny how people keep expecting the general mechanics of the site to change. The owners don't give a ****.

Sigh...will I ever see the day when you get demoded and become just a regular troll?

One can dream. https://www.gay.hr/up/smilies/sigh.gif

Frown vs Adidas > Frown vs Chules

Frownland 10-14-2018 10:05 AM

If I got demoded I would probably get remoded or maybe even remodeled.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it's not something we have control over.

You mean we can't have the site background colour changed to rapidly cycle between a range of vibrant primary and secondary colours? Lame.

Well it's clear the owners care very little but there were some changes made at some point by them. I can think for example of "gay" being excluded from the censor. That was a change made by them no? I don't imagine this one would be much more difficult to implement.

Not the mods, but you can take it up with the owners, since you guys have a sort of access to YacGod.

Unless mod-troll and grindy disagree though. ;)

Frownland 10-14-2018 07:05 PM

I could take it or leave it tbh but I do think it's a successful deterrent in most cases. At the end of the day, this is a dying medium and the owners treat it as such. If we were going to bother them about something, I'd choose changing the colour scheme, the top graphic, allowing people with a high number of posts to make journal entries without needing approval, or adding upvote capabilities instead. Spam that's going to be deleted by people thinking we haven't seen someone surpass the filter before just doesn't seem to be that pressing of an issue except in the cases where there's a few hours in between a mod being logged on. Plus in a way it makes it easier to spot spam when people do try to do the quick 15 since it's usually pretty obvious.

Zhanteimi 10-14-2018 07:22 PM

Hey, good ideas. Can you contact the owners and ask about those things, Frown?

Frownland 10-14-2018 07:36 PM

I'll give Sundar a call and ask him to make the banner a 3 hour long gif of my facial expression slowly changing from happy to sad to my o face.

Zhanteimi 10-14-2018 07:37 PM

I just want to say, "Good luck. We're all counting on you."

WWWP 10-14-2018 09:04 PM

It's just a pretty small grievance/nonissue imo.

The Batlord 10-14-2018 10:15 PM

I'm more concerned with WWWP's illegal name length.

Zhanteimi 10-14-2018 10:24 PM

Yeah, the name length is annoying.

Not changing mine until you change yours

The Batlord 10-15-2018 12:26 AM

Mine is a simple statement of fact. Yours is penis envy.

Janszoon 10-15-2018 01:16 AM

I like the rule the way it is personally.

You mean there are people that see they can't post a link unless they post 15 times that simply decide not to post because it's too much of a hassle, now that they've gone through the trouble of registering to post that link?

For me unlikely but ok. It's not really an issue that requires careful consideration and an in depth debate, it was just an idea, one that I think/thought might have made the mods' job slightly easier, and gotten rid of a slight annoyance of having to see random threads being revived with stupid posts just so these unfortunate souls can complete their mission. ;)

But wha'eva. :)

grindy 10-15-2018 02:50 AM

As Frown said, it makes spotting spammers even easier.

Exactly.

rostasi 10-15-2018 08:42 AM

I like the idea of letting the fool think he’s being clever,
then cutting his head right off his body.

grindy 10-15-2018 09:02 AM

Not gonna lie, it's very satisfying to ban someone right after their fifteenth post.

adidasss 10-15-2018 09:04 AM

It should be 100 posts! I imagine the poor fools posting like crazy just to be able to post a link! The hilarity of their futility! Like life itself! https://www.gay.hr/up/smilies/dreamy.gif

I’ve always thought it should be more than fifteen honestly.

I'm telling you n00bs, adidasss was a boss around here back in the glory dayz.



Since the owners don't give a sh*t about this place, we could always get a hacker to change any aesthetics that bother us.

The Batlord 10-15-2018 06:49 PM

I think you're all ignoring 66Sexy vs Fluff. We got stuff going on.

Frownland 10-15-2018 06:53 PM

Fluff v Rez>>>>>>>>>>

Exo 10-17-2018 11:51 AM

Why is it that whenever Frownland...

A: Disagrees with something

B: Is a bit sassy

Troll? Do you people know what a troll is? Frown is just a sassy bitch.

Cuthbert 10-17-2018 12:45 PM

It's not Fluff vs anyone.
