Screw you title line!

[ZeZipster]

Okay, since when is spam EVERYTHING where immature people have fun? I mean c'mon, I really wanted to have a serious conversation about hippos. Also, what's with closing threads that turn into spam (usually due to one person). Can't you people remember back to school when a bunch of dipwits in the back of the class would act up and throw a paper ball at the teacher and that teacher would give everyone extra homework? It's like that. It makes me really really angry. Not at the doofus students, but at the teacher.

When the entire class is angry, we all laugh at the chalk stains you get from scratching your private areas when you turned around to write down that advanced algorithm on the board.

[Shlup]

Most borderline threads get closed, if you didn't notice. I will venture to say that the staff is on edge because a lot of people are being douche bags towards them, and when that happens a larger percent of borderline threads get closed.

Face it, when you feel like people are being just plain unfair and mean to you, it affects your job performance. I thought that thread was fine, but I can't really blame Leeza for closing it.

[Raistlin]

The best way to get everything back to normal is to stop bitching about every closed thread and EoEO ban. Otherwise, it's just a continuous cycle.

[RSL]

*shoots himself*

[Shlup]

It's the liberals. They ruined the world, now they're ruining EoFF.

[Raistlin]

The bloody liberal conspiracy is taking over EoFF! Quick, shove the logic in the closet and let's go ranting.

[Leeza]

I mean c'mon, I really wanted to have a serious conversation about hippos.
I mean c'mon, if that's what you really wanted, you would have made the thread in EoEO where every thread is treated seriously...even ones discussing hippos. Posting it in GC was asking for it to be spammed up and we've had more than enough of that in there lately.

[Meat Puppet]

Did you know that hippos grunt and moan to each other whilst underwater to communicate?

[Shlup]

I think that's called "mating," Poppet.

[edczxcvbnm]

It's the liberals. They ruined the world, now they're ruining EoFF.

You got that backwards. Liberals don't give a <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> :D...at least this one doesn't ;_; Why for I cry :mad2: Monkey no make sensy :eek:

[Shlup]

WTF are you on, ed? xD

[Jojee]

Why for I cry :mad2: Monkey no make sensy :eek: I didn't even talk yet!

And when I saw that I thought I already posted something and wondered what it was.

[Meat Puppet]

I think that's called "mating," Poppet.

I call it male bonding

[edczxcvbnm]

WTF are you on, ed? xD

Being on drugs only would make sense...so that can't POSSIBLY be it! Maybe the answer lies within the SUN! Since the sun is unexplored territory we should do like they did back in the day...launch a monkey into the Sun just like they launched a monkey into space :D

[Camanche]

Can't you people remember back to school when a bunch of dipwits in the back of the class would act up and throw a paper ball at the teacher and that teacher would give everyone extra homework? It's like that. It makes me really really angry. Not at the doofus students, but at the teacher.

Umm... isn't the "extra homework" the fault of those very "doofs" in the back of the class, and not the "teacher's"?

The "doofs" knew the rules, and they shouldn't have broken them, hence, punishment. And of course you'd be mad at the "teacher". They're the easiest person to blame because they have the ability to exact their authority on you. But in the end, blame the doofs dammit!

At least, that's the way I see it. :D

What are the teachers suppose to do? Let everyone run rampant and do whatever they want?




(Wow, this metaphor has to stop.. sorry. :p)

[Del Murder]

A cool teacher will let the goofs have their fun every once and a while, but when it happens every day he/she is going to lay the smackdown. GC has been constantly like this and so we have to adopt a stricter policy until people learn to pace themselves.

[Shlup]

You're not our teachers, nor are we your students. At least, that's not how is should be. xP

[Del Murder]

Your poor spelling has rendered your already confusing comment unintelligible.

[Camanche]

I'm pretty sure I understand what Shlup was saying, but obviously the relationship between Cid's Knight's and the forum goers isn't a teacher-student one. I was just taking a bad metaphor to places it never should have gone. I only meant that they have a level of authority over the members, and it's there job to make sure that people don't get TOO out of hand.

[Jojee]

Hahahahaha pwned. :p

But in the case of the example, the teacher should punish the doofs in the back, not the entire class.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Can the teacher be like really hot?

[Camanche]

Granted, but the only way something along those lines could be done here, is if the spammers were somehow stopped from posting the the thread that they spammed in. And the only way that can be done is if the entire thread is closed.

Hahaha, let's start banning people from specific threads!

*dodges tomatoes*

Don't hurt me! XD

EDIT: I was talking about Monkey's post, NOT the hot teacher one.... :p

[Jojee]

I was just talking about the teacher example, not applying it to the forums ;) I think it was fine that the hippo thread was closed :p

It's sad, I've never had any extremely hot teachers... =\

[eestlinc]

Can the teacher be like really hot?
Let's hope!

Ultimately, the quality of threads is controlled by the members who post in them. Staff can only try to help one way or the other.

[Shlup]

We had a hot sub for 11th grade English. Ask Cid; all the girls in the class had a thing for him.

>_<

[Yamaneko]

In the future all teachers will be robots.

[eestlinc]

now all restaurants are Taco Bell.

[Shlup]

So will all the students.

[Raistlin]

The students will be Taco Bell?

[Shlup]

No, Del Taco. It's Taco Tuesday! Three tacos for a dollar!

BJ's picking up our $5 worth of tacos right now. :}

[eestlinc]

that's like the California equivalent of the White Castle Crave Case.

[Shlup]

Isn't White Castle a burger place? Del Taco is a taco and burrito place.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I'm sure no one would ever have guessed that Del Taco is a taco place.

[eestlinc]

yes but white castle has like 30 little burgers for $10, del taco has 15 tacos for $5. So they are roughly equivalent if you are stoned/drunk and want a lot of crappy food.

besides, it's all snouts and entrails anyway.

[Shlup]

Ah, I see the connection. I've never had White Castle.

[Camanche]

Is White Castle any good? There was one in my city when I was younger, but it closed down and I can't recall what the food tasted like.

Though the fact that it closed down, and was monopolized by a Blockbuster.....

[-N-]

THE WHITE CASTLE IN CHERRY HILL DOES NOT EXIST

[Psychotic]

Hey wow this thread is now spam so let's close it!

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Why for I cry. Monkey no make sensy.



Monkey...no make sensy.
