spammer syndicate meets Banner Syndicate.

Ah thats better

There is nothing like playing Return to Castel Wolfenstein online to get rid of that aggresion.

Anyway It looks like We have to Make a Decison on The Real Future of the Off topic forum !

i mean do we.

[list=a]

• Continue with the post count off and the Spamming to even higher levels, which will lead to a greater hatred between no spamming and  spamming members. Oh and also Us mods will be the most hated for running this forum by alowing it to continue.

or

• Try an enforce some SELF CONTROL :rolleyes: and unfreeze the post count and try to get back to our High Standards of posting (i mean this place is being out done by Team X box in the quality standards FFS).
  [/list=a]
  
  Anyway i hope that something is done no matter what it is , as i know for a FACT that we are going to lose a few members over this( we have alredy lost 3 of them so far).......
  
  Yup thats 3 in one Day at this rate this place will be as empty as a weight lifters underpants by Chritsmas.
  
  Yours (now wishing that he was in another forum)
  
  ooseven
  
  p.s.
  
  sorry for the bluntness but i fealt i had to say it.
  
  Get your ACT together FFS ! one and ALL !..........

Well you guys can rejoice.....I\'m not going anywhere

Hey No-one To be Honest it members like you and many others thats keeping me here (correction Friends like you thats keeping me here).

If this forum wasn\'t filled with Great members and espesually friends then i would be Long Gone.

i like plan b ooseven.  Now that the spaminators and SA are gone i believe we can get back to the level of posting before they were here.  Ive always thought that the OT was the best forum so lets control ourselves and get back to normal.

If mm has froozen the post counts in off-topic.. You guys can spam your arses out.. the only reason why i stopped spaminators is because people just started posting 1 word replys and there was a lot of posts about nothing.  I see it as a way for people to get there post counts up.

But now the post counts are froozen. So you can spam like crazy. Just not too crazy. Keep it too a decent reading level.

Wait a minute, post counts are frozen because of spamming, and now you\'re ENCOURAGING IT? Spamming is okay as long as it doesn\'t add to post counts?

I\'m sorry, but I think doing that was a very extreme solution to an insignificant problem. And it creates another one, because now it will be a lot harder for new people to get a pic or title, because every post they make here is worthless.

The only fair thing is to freeze post counts on EVERY forum or NONE. Singling one out, imo, is just plain unfair. Especially the one that is by far the most interesting.

This place is no fun anymore:(

I do prefer that people don\'t spam. But if mm feels that freezing the post count will help. Then so be it.

It\'s like this, people spam for post counts.. But what\'s the point in spamming if you don\'t get post counts.   Spamming will be very small soon enough.  This will solve itself. Soon enough spamming will be at a very low again and then we will probably change it back to normal.  

See people were spamming for post counts. Now that they won\'t get anymore post counts. They won\'t bother with spamming.  So i\'m saying it\'s ok to spam. Because people probably won\'t anyway.


I also see it like this.. If people are staying here just for post counts, and now there leaving. Then i guess that they really didn\'t care about quality posts, Just post counts. That\'s kinda lame.  Who really cares about post counts. Soon enough anyone will have there picture, but it comes from quality. Not crappy posts. People that POST from now on in the Main forum, will be posting quality posts. not basing there posts of Off-topic. After all this is a Ps2 based site. not http://www.off-topic.com.    If people are getting ANGRY because they arn\'t getting post counts when they post... What are they REALLY posting for then?  Post counts, or quality talk.

This is downright pathetic.  I post because I enjoy posting and I have something to say.  Sometimes what I have to say is worthless, but you will never find a three word reply as a post from me.

I didn\'t even notice any problems.  I actually thought it was the most fun this board has seen in a long time.

People aren\'t leaving because of post counts.  People are leaving because what has been done is a big pile of crap.

Peace Out.

True-er words have never been spoken.
Just because a few members added "Spaminators" to their sigs the board get\'s ruined. There wasn\'t any actual spamming involved. Some of this sites best members hang out in OT, not just to discuss the PS.2, but also things that don\'t really matter, just to talk about it. Some of us have made more than one friend on this board.

I for one don\'t care about my post count or the fact that OT-s post thingie has been frozen, the thing that bothers me is that "old" members are leaveing because of an overreaction.

I say, keep the post count thinge frozen for sometime, let\'s have everyone in a big internet grouphug and let things cool down.

The problem isn\'t the post counts. The problem is the fact that the posts going into those post counts were useless. Eliminate the spam, not the post counts; the reaction you are taking is absolutely nonsensical.

sheesh, i try and do a favor to everyone, and look what happens

if you think about it, i set the user pic level at 500, so im to blame for that also

sigh, why did i bother helping again?

Gosh you can\'t do anything right, your worthless....... just kidding, I can see where your coming from by setting the no post count in off topic, I\'m sure some of these people that are leaving will eventually come back and it will be back to normal

I think you did the right thing mm

Freezing the post count thingie to tell people to calm the hell down and start talking like civil people.

Which people were basically doing until people who had "spaminators" in their sigs were told they could be banned if Souly felt they were spamming.

NOBODY was really spamming, I don\'t thing that anybody here was doing this thing to up his post count, merely to have fun in off topic.

sheesh, how can a small thing start a crisis of this magnitude on a board.

It wasnt a bad thing mm, it was a good idea, i just think that now that the Spaminators and SA are through and both sides have aknowledged that, that now we can get rid of the post freeze

thx fellas, i was only trying to help

i dont mind spamming if its contained, but the last few days it has been VERY obvious

this is also supposed to be fun, so i dont wanna say NO YOU CANT SPAM!

*** POSSIBLE NEW SOLUTION!

how about i put the post count for off topic back on, BUT raise the user pic post number?  say 750? 1000?

at this point, i dont really know wtf most of you guys want.  
oh, and if yer leaving because of post count alone, then you went our "real" friend anyways

regardless, lemme know what popular vote wants, cause that Kommunism at work!

[nO-One]

I agree with that.

Upping the limit for a pic will also make it a thing to be desired like in the good old days.
