It's just gone over the top

[peat moss]

The ignore function would work wonders if you didn't use the BT section. For people that do regularly, these arse-posters can get extremely annoying, therefor driving them away from the board for whatever reason...

I know what you mean , but how many Bit users stay and contribute ? We'll never know but its not a bad thing to gain new members . Example tonight :

836 (130 members and 706 guests)

I just have a problem with ass kissers looking for rep points for helping a member in Hardware World or the Software forum . Ah what do you do ? Can't win so join em ?

[tralalala]

No reason to join them.. What do mods and admins have the "delete post", "ban", or "PM a threat" functions for?
You'll never know, but maybe.. just maybe, if you kicked the ass-kissers and the fluff-posters and the flamers/spammers/good-luckers from the BT section, you might just get some more good peeps to contribute there, instead of being driven off because of all the shit on the pavement..
Why do you think not many NEW people ever visit the Lounge any more?

I'm in agreement with you tralalala.

When people have reported it in the past, I've deleted it as spam.

[tralalala]

Obviously though it is not enough, and something a little more drastic is needed? I don't know what, but it's actually starting to affect me.. And I don't like the fact that a few n00bs posting crap is driving me, a 4 year member here at KLF/FST, absolutely nuts.

What was the Lounge ever created for...?

For people to discuss off-topic stuff, and have a laugh

Idiots tend to think it's a place where they can post all the mindless nonsense they want without any aggravation, but it isn't.
It's not for boosting your post count either, IMO.

Well, to be honest.. I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of mindless off-topic useless silly posts in the Lounge.. more than any other section (apart from the BT section as I stated originally..).
I also visit the Lounge occasionally, I aint saying it's a crap place, it's brilliant for people wanting to have a chit-chat about nothing, but that's the only section in FST for that, BT section is NOT.

Are you referring to me?

edit: This is a fact. In fact, they sent me packing from The Lounge, to the bittorrent forum after my Daily Lie Thread..and now, they don't want me there either.

I said mindless, didn't I?

I think that you usually have a point in there somewhere when you post the weirder stuff, just not one that's in tune with with the world outside your head, like. Or something.

At any rate, it has some sort of content, it's mostly that you try too hard in strange directions that puts some people off


So I think you are posting in the right place and all, no worries there.


Really crap posts have no real content at all, and they relate to nothing, and they won't make anyone popular for making them. Some people just never get it, either because they are a bit thick, or because they are hardly ever here, and they see it all as nonsense.

You did indeed

Still thanks for that evaluation, that sort of feedback I really appreciate, especially coming from you, whose opinion, over the years, I have grown to respect. Not to mention your complete grasp of my mother language whose nuances you know to apply in surprising ways...a rising star IMHO
