Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
Please consider either removing it entirely or changing it to minimum 20 posts because apparently most people lack the decency* to respond to a direct question after checking off post number 2.
If they want to be ignorant cunts,then do it someplace else I say.
*Which amazes me since they are not Jewish or Mexican or even Black.
Also and I'm taking a University course on this so I know what I talking about,get rid of the mindless spam attracting threads.
Seriously, does anyone care who's favorite/least favourite anything is?
I would thank you in advance but since we both know nothing is going to be done,I figure that wouldn't make any sense.:)

Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
Wondering why youde want it raised now. Its likely to revert to 5 or 10 though...

Raised or removed and because it's disheartening to see exactly how far this site has fallen from any pretense of being an actual forum.
Maybe everyone else is perfectly fine with a bunch of no thought answers to conveniently spam questions but unfortunately I expect better from people.

Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
I'd suggest that if NZB people have no intent of using any other section, let them make their welcome posts in that area (and count them). They are like the Quebec* of filesharing anyway.
*Meaning the gibberish speaking separatists of a country few give much mind to.

That presupposes they'd read and follow any kind of rule directing them there. Some continue to post the same kind of monosyllabic jabber Idol was complaining about in that section too.

Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
Making the idiots post more won't improve their post quality, nor better the site. Since they don't want to participate, let them get "credit" for saying thanks in the section they use.
BTW, I like a few of the NZB peeps. Just not a statistically sufficient number of them are beneficial to a forum.

Agreed. We all saw what happened when the postcount required to download NZBs was made nonzero :sleep:
-
Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
Is the forum software smart enough to to a count reset so the min limit could be x posts/week for example?
I'd fail to reach a pretty low bar I'm sure but then my donations should compensate for my lack of social skills.

We've been there, done that, multiple times, somehow you guys keep forgetting. :wacko:
The best solution is to stop forcing people to post who don't want to post.

That was accidentally "tested" when originally the NZB grabbers assumed that NZB comments counted as forum posts, and caused a huge mess in the NZB sections. It's not a solution it's completely pointless.

A mess in the NZB section vs EVERYWHERE except the area where the problem is coming from. I don't have an issue with the NZBers mucking up their own house. :idunno:

I was going to start a thread, comme ca... Who's favorite/least favourite IdolEyes post is..
How about a way to count if a member has READ a post, like a box that must be selected... that could count as a requirement in the must read areas and for those Quebecers who don't measure twice before they start cutting:fist:

I say a basic knowledge test is in order. Weed out the idiots before they have a chance to deface the site. RealtY will just give them the option to donate to bypass the IQ test, though...

If you bothered to give the whole quote I said "remove or change".
Really as I tried to make clear, it's not so much a question of the mindless posts but more one of posting in a thread and then not having the decency,intention of (if necessary) following up on what you said.
I understand that "this is the internet" is a very convenient excuse for being a jerk but seriously liken this to walking up to a stranger on the street ,asking a question of them and then strolling off while they are trying to give you a reply.
If you don't care enough for this site and it's members to proceed with a modicum of respect then fuck the fuck off.Both the site and everyone on it will be better without you.

For the record, I've always been against the 2 post minimum and I 100% believe it should be removed.
I was only replying to the "changing it to minimum 20 posts" part of your post to point out that it has been tried a few times and always makes things worse.

Technically the forum has reached such a state of disinterest that that's impossible unless you liken the average noob post to be akin to bashing your head against a brick wall and having it stop makes you feel better.
OK some validity to that but still,acceptance is just another word for giving up.
Btw I have given up considering both Rart and Cabalo were seen are better candidates for reinstatement as Mods than I was .
Oh well "Better hated for being a wolf than loved for being a sheep" is on my family crest.

An ever so small tweak in the long time rules has knotted up some panties around the board.
Have a look around. Ask questions if you got 'em.

I'll welcome the first person who writes anything in the movie section that doesn't make me want to kill a puppy or failing that posts something in the sports section that suggests they might actually be capable of playing sports.

Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
Thanks Skiz. But Wow !!!, how easy it was to find the first 2 people on this forum to avoid. I seriously cant believe someone (IdolEyes787) who has averaged 11 posts a day everyday 365 days a year for 6 years would take the time to push the keys to respond to a noob like me, oh wait you cant help yourself im sorry, but seriously get help. it says your retired staff then please retire for me, a noob who was just posting a random idea that not everyone knows all the ins and outs of every forum and is only here to learn. To megabyteme well that says it all its in the name, oh and the fact that you average 7 posts everyday 365 days a year for 5 years is kinda pathetic as well, but i digress so sorry. The totality of what i was saying in my post was totality backward sarcasm young man. As to the name calling (Rart) directed at myself, that really proves my point as to how easy it was to find people to avoid on this nice forum. Have a nice night

Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
You don't come across as very happy. :console:
-
Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
Well i am damn it !!! :D My apologies about the negative tone about the massive amounts of posts you and IdolEyes787 seem to have accumulated. Although still pathetic to a point, I looked around some topics and found you guys or girls put your 2 cents in on just about everything. Also the fact theres a number of threads where its just the 2 of you hanging out i guess. It does seem obvious that you are not happy with a lot of things that have evolved on this forum, so i wonder why again you would even respond to a noob like me ???
Oh btw, cool n funny ass animated emos, thanks for the head rub, its all better between us now.

Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
I think you'll find we are as good a group to hang out with as any you'd find in a place that serves cheap beer, doesn't vacuum regularly, and doesn't check ID for girls who are willing to flash the doorman. :)
Honestly, I appreciate that you are taking a look around. There is a bit of hazing that occurs around here. There are also some VERY knowledgeable people who will gladly help out with sincere questions.
I did respond (nicely) to your welcome thread post earlier today. What are your interests? Like movies/sports/anime? Been filesharing for a while, or are you entirely new?

Re: Would someone please amend the current 2 post rule.
Hypothetically, let's say you work at a strip club. You hang out with the same skank strippers all the fucking time. After a short time you start to see them at all the wrong angles, then you find out they can talk but all that comes out of their face is cunty nonsense.
So why stay working there? Well, it's just a matter of time before some new naive twat walks through through the door looking for some work. And don't forget, this hypothetical strip club requires you to participate in a little ass play with the seasoned staff as part of the interview process.
That might be why you get a response, but that's just a guess.

If I may be frank with you ernest,it seems to me that you are just another humourless internet douchebag(or possible dupe account troll given the convenient timing ) who is a tad less intelligent or insightful then he thinks he is.
Sure I may also fit into the first category but at least I have both the self awareness to realize this and the decency to not go walking into some complete stranger's house and immediately telling them I hate the way they decorated the place.
So I guess what I'm saying is by all means please do avoid me,oh tactless and astucious one. Please do.
Btw and considering that this is a forum I don't don't even see why I am defending this ...
Average time to make a post : one minute.1 minute x 11 = 11 minutes.
Time you probably spend staring blankly into space every day : considerably more.:mellow:

Access to unlimited shots of rotgut liquor, doing lines with the dj, & the occasional bj for looking the other way when the girls get overly friendly in the champagne room. Who needs a 401k or profit sharing?

I'm fairly sure that I'm the only one interpreting this correctly and redmooj* is actually happy about the apparent racism.
I'm also fairly sure that redmogo have never witnessed real racism is he considers an out of context line from a bad joke to be such. But that's just me and Richard Pryor speaking and since he's dead and I'm a racist what whet fuck do we know?
Anyway since neither Jew nor Mexican is an actual Race,I would say if anything I was being prejudice. :)
*Obvious slur against me and me and my fellow indigenous brothers,reverse racist.I would write a letter to my member of Parliament if I had one and didn't consider myself by chance of birth to be special and separate and above the Laws that everyone else has to abide by.
Now I'm off to kill some out of season wildlife on the land that I don't pay taxes on.

Well I could harken back to a time when the Maori practiced a more direct form of punishment for those it disagreed with, if you lost you got eaten! I just thought this was a bit extreme given the circumstances, so went with a slightly more civilised alternative. :idunno:
