Inconsistency

If this thread was started and locked in one day...

...why is this thread still going after nearly a year :blink:

I think this guy sums the whole thing up quite well...

It does all seem a tad inconsistent. Sure, the Lounge is a an off-topic forum but no need to actively spam it. That's just annoying and against the rules, we need to set an example to these new noobs so that they may flourish and become mighty oaks.

[Barbarossa]

I'd be happy if they just moved it to the bittorrent section, then at least I'd never see it.

I'd be happy if they jettisoned the Bittorrent section into the heart of the sun, I don't appreciate being part of a forum that actively leechs off the hard work of the Bittorrent community.

Maybe that's why they employ known leechers as mods there. :dabs:

[Hairbautt]

I think it's because the mods/admins are more laid back now, which I think is nice.

No, now they're hypocrites.

Humans are dynamic. (atleast some)

[Shadowfire]

It could be because it's flooded with posts of so many higher-ranked members? Skizo, Hairbutt, Rossco, Alien5, Gamer4eva, etc.

[Hairbautt]

Thanks, but I only post news; also I like to think of the Lounge as a "free playground" almost. It's hard to define, but if you want a serious conversation go to the Drawing board.

[Barbarossa]

Skizo - 739 posts
Hairbautt - 378 posts
Rossco - 169 posts

ME - 430 posts :01: (The majority of which weren't numbers, and if they were, probably out of sequence)

True. But I'm too juvenile to compete with you lot in debates, so I'm content just reading the Drawing Room.

[Barbarossa]

Of course it's true, I just counted them :blink:

So just more spam then. :blink:

Why? You know what it is.

[Shadowfire]

It's kind of subjective. But since this is the lounge, nothing should be spam. :lol:

[Barbarossa]

lets pretend i don't. I want you to define it, without using google :dry:

Inconsistency? :noes: The board was unable to handle long threads back then. It can now.

It would inconstancy to close the counting thread. After all, you loungers have been saying that you should be permitted to post anything in the lounge haven't you?

In fact, I think that thread has been quite manageable compared with a lot of other crap posted here.

[Barbarossa]

Locked after 86 posts, a veritable monster of a thread :dry:

It's not really about that, we have a new mod (bit of a cunt, but nevermind) who can post in the thread over and over again (god kows why...) but when someone new tries it they get banned. That's inconsistent. This new mod should be setting an example to the new members that he (and the rest of the mod team) expect to follow the board rules.

It's pretty mental when you think about it. "Hey, welcome to the new board. Please don't spam to get your post-count up. Oh that, that's just a counting-spam thread."

[Hairbautt]

Who got banned? Bulio? That was 3 years ago and his last post was on 06-15-2004 bout three months after that thread Barb posted. :ermm:

Also, I remember that I asked once if Lounge posts counted towards the 30 day, 20 posts requirement thingy and someone told me no...:huh: Can't remember who tho'.

I feel a bit sorry for you to be honest, you don't really pay attention but that's okay (the answer for your first question is around to read). Really though, nearly 20% of your posts on this board have been you inputting numbers into a thread, don't you think you're a bit better than that? We know this is the pinnacle of Skizo's repertoire but you? :(

[Hairbautt]

I think the DingleBerry thread is more of a forum game, but I guess I just don't know like you said :idunno:

I'm really not a tight-ass in most cases, so it's hard to understand other people who I guess (and again I really don't know :idunno: ) care about the forum more than I.

I find alot of things frustrating tho'. :frusty: 'Chebus', you do know I just post news, right? :dabs:

I know what your role is here, though to be honest I would have had your more pegged for someone to be a mod than the "person" we seem to have got.

You do understand my point though? That it is hypocritical to expect new people not to spam to up their post count when, essentially (and for reasons best known to himself), a mod has chosen to make this his life's work. All in all it's tragic that someone would "enjoy" doing that, I wonder what is missing from their life.

[Skiz]

Why are you so hung up on post counts?

[Cheese]

Why are you so hung up on post counts?

Can you even read properly? Have the numbers blinded you to such simple tasks? My point with post counts is in reference to new people being told not to spam their post count up to get access to the Inbred section, my interest (which is plain to see) is how the rules work I could care less about post counts in general.

Again I'll repeat though: It's tragic that someone would "enjoy" doing that, I wonder what is missing from their life.

[Hairbautt]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/Hairbautt/Smilies/ROTFL.gif Yeah, I see your point.
Sure, the Lounge is a an off-topic forum but no need to actively spam it. Pretty much sums it up, but it's hard to sort out all the issues here, at least for me it is. :wacko: Still, IMO I consider the Dingleberry thread to be a forum game, which you maybe able to tell looking at some of the posts I made in there (Usually Bunny67 and I sorta race, I guess you could say; and I like to throw in insults to provoke people :emo:). :happy:

BUT, I still thought Lounge posts don't count for n00b members in the BT section. I need to IM/PM a higher up and ask for definite answer just so I know.

This also reminds me (not necessarily relates to this particular issue) of JP's ":lol' " thread; where the Mods do maintain the final decision in matters and it is obviously hard to maintain good relations with members when making certain calls, just as you have some harsh opinion posts. :fear2: Gotta be hard, but I'm always for more freedom.

[Cheese]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v383/Hairbautt/Smilies/ROTFL.gif Yeah, I see your point and I just got the PM about the ban report-in. Funny, I always get PM's updating me on stuff; Clearly I'm lost 24/7 :lol: And I post the latest news :dabs:

I see a well-thought out response like that and then I look at Skizo's attempt to "debate" (a heady mix of misinterpretation, ignoring everything but one point and unearned smugness) and I wonder why they'd semi-mod him and not someone with some obvious intelligence. Strange.

I don't know about the lounge posts not counting towards the Inbred section thing, but still it's about the example the mod is supposed to be setting and whether it's hypocritical to spam whilst telling others not to.

Don't bring me into your flippin' bunkum. The car crash thread is a meh for me,

[Skiz]

BUT, I still thought Lounge posts don't count for n00b members in the BT section. I need to IM/PM a higher up and ask for definite answer just so I know.

When we say that spam won't count towards their 20, we mean that if they simply put "thxxxx" 20 times, that they haven't made a contribution Posts will be deleted also). They get a standard PM saying such and that the forum is a give and take relationship. Once they give a little, then they get a little.

Some members have no interest in good relationships though. Shit stirring is more their game.

I think that's the crux of your problems. An inability to develop or maintain relationships (I'd assume this overlaps into your "real-life" world as well). I guess the solitary activity of the counting thread is a small comfort in your otherwise pointless existence. In fact, we should let you keep the thread open as it is your only refuge in what you see as a very cruel and lonely world.

You don't even see how he manipulates you.

He wants to watch you keep stubbornly posting numbers mindlessly on the internet, so he uses reverse psychology in it's most basic form and pretends he wants you to stop it. So you just keep on posting.

You must remember your parents doing that when you were a child. You're supposed to grow out of it.

FFS Skizo he couldn't be ripping the pish out of you any more than if he sliced your bladder open.

I don't really give a toss about post counts. I don't go in the inbred section, have no interest whatsoever in how many posts I made as a result.

[4play]

I think the dingleberry thread should stay open.

people have stopped just posting random crap into threads to gain their 20 posts to get into the invite section since being warned. The problem is they are now digging up threads from 2 -3 years previous or posting comments like "yes that is true" just to get their count up. This makes it impossible for the mods to call it spam but its annoying since it does not contribute anything. at least the counting thread keeps it all in one place.

F'rinstance, Barbie would be an excellent mod - intelligent, articulate, knows his computer stuffs and gets on well with all sections of the bored. Mind, he'd probably do the job quite well - and where's the fun in that.

Carry on with recruiting the thickies, I say.
