Put Your Wasted SP Into Common Sense/Intelligence Please

Post by synn90210 » Sun Jan 17, 2010 4:38 am

I'm sure you've seen what i had to say on gilly's topic Im Leaving. For those of you who havent here it is

unless there are some changes to the well, mainly intelligence of some of the users on here then im done after the story. while im genuinely proud of this site's growth its a shame to see some of the garbage posts and flame wars on here.....


i meant exactly what i said. It seems that anymore the only people who post intelligent things are: The Mods, Gilly, and a select few posters. Those of you who actually think before you post you have my undying respect. And now for the entire point of this post/rant. Before i type this i am for sure typing it in all capitals, bolded and underlined: THINK BEFORE YOU POST if you still have some problem understanding then it seems that we have a real problem on our hands. Now i know that im going to get soooo many hateful comments but please feel free to hate. just do it in an intelligent, comprehendible way. As i said most users on this website for some strange reason have a problem with the whole common sense/intelligence thing. Now i've been here one way or another since the original site got hacked and i watched the baby steps that this website took to become what it is now.

I'm truly proud of the growth of this site into the forum juggernaut that it is now.....i have but one big problem. There are too many garbage posts and flame wars on the site. i mean seriously......there's an entire section dedicated to all of the useless BS that you could possibly post. when there were only a few members the rules were actually obeyed and all of the useless posts were (for lack of a better word) quarantined to the Dracoplasm section. Now somehow as im sure all of you have seen these posts have leaked into all of the sections. i have but three choice letters to sum up how i feel about this: WTF. Why does most of the community seem not to understand the rules of this forum? are they really that impossibly hard to comprehend? Any how i believe that this is a major problem for this site. I mean just look at how Gilly deleted the entire chat section. if we as mapleanimers and the moderators dont try to put a stop to the spam it will happen again.

Well i've said my piece. please feel free to discuss your views but please do it intelligently. Again to the select few and all of the moderators and to Gillian most of all you have my undying respect. If not for just the quality of people that you are then for the fact that you seem to be able to use common sense and intelligence in your posts.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post/rant.

Impossible.
Every site has its' ups and downs.
To rid of the majority of the site would be to destroy the community the site has established.
I'm not saying I'm against this, but it's impossible. Though, having signs of "spamming" in sites would be to consider their popularity.
And the leakage problems, alas, would lead to the majority, but at least it's mostly contained in the Dracoplasm section.
This site just has that casual feeling, not the kind debate groups have. I doubt you can argue with that.
So, I deem it impossible for garbage posts to dissapear unless you want to destroy the community.

mmhmmm i see your point but the main thing i wanted to get across is the thing that i put in all caps bold and underlined. if people continue to totally disregard that then im sure that more sections will be deleted because of the spam floods

Sometimes many people do.Many people try to change the way they are,but it doesn't work that fast.
If you think only a few people are the only ones who are posting with common sense LOOK HARDER.

...

Proof of Syn's Point.

I'm sure I was warning people of this awhile ago as well, so I agree completely with Synn. I'm trying my best to control some of it. But when I see posts like the quoted, I sort of sigh and log off.

I just want to say lol and:

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=159

and gatorade, the point is that you are putting spam into a thread COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SPAM.


Other than this, I agree with this statement.
