View Full Version : Has General Chat - Reduced to Spam Central



Dignified Pauper

There has been a serious drop in quality of the posts in General Chat.

Over the years, we used to have comical threads about things that were actually funny and could make people "L.O.L." in there seats at home. What do we have now? Ridiculous remarks about a man cured from HIV. The Rupac thread by Crash.

Once upon a time, we had real threads of interest that could come here, in great abundance, and not be a part of the emo soapbox that is EoEO.

Threads like this (http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43390) shows the ingenuity of children while at the same time allowing members to poke fun at, and discuss seriously, the issue at hand.

How about Bleys' classic EGG (the EoFF Grammar Gestapo) from way back in either 02 or 03 (can't quite remember).

What about the thread (http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58827) made by our favorite Monkey, Jojo, which was not only a giant hysterical satire that was meant for the purpose of spam in a general way, even with noble attempts at funny spam, members have been destroying the quality of spam posted.

Lets face it, some of us are good at spam, others simply don't understand the concept of quality and context of spam. Spam is not random, it deals with the thread topic at hand as well as the previous posts in the thread. It deals with these in order to be witty, creative, funny, and, in an intellectual way, add to the thread as a whole. Old Manus, Psychotic, and few others do this superbly. It is their intelligence and wit that make us love their spam and not classify it as such, because it is above the standards of what is considered to be spam, therefor, they evolve spam into their own, unique characteristic in their posts.

Case in point. If you can't spam, and have nothing to add to the topic that is neither stimulating, witty, and funny, then you have no reason to post in that thread, and thus, you generate and contribute to the ever swelling problem that has been plagueing the boards as of the last year.



Let me not go into the age ranges of most of those who spam inappropriately. I'm guarenteeing that if we look up our top contributors of those who spam content that simply is not worthy of EoFF standards, their ages will, generally, fall between 12-15. (not to mention that you are supposed to be 13 to even be allowed to post here)
Some older members, such as PiP, have their moments of good and bad spam, but regardless, the posts that lack quality are still many and too much.

Sooner or later, if this problem is not resolved, GC will be nothing more than a complete waste of this forums' space. I enjoy intelligence and wit in the form of spam in conjunction with the thread at hand, anything else is intolerable.


I really didn't mean hardly anything I said. Sure, there's a lot more stupid spam, rather than high quality, but sometimes, it just can't be helped. I just felt like making long posts about nothing important.

Dude, spam does not fall into a paticular category of having to be witty etc. Spam is just general useless crap that goes anywhere on the internet. If it makes you laugh, then good for you, if it doesn't then just ignore it. People say what they want on the internet and that's the way it is. Some people (myself included) don't have the brain capacity to make every post 'witty' so we can please everyone who reads it.

But I agree with the general topic at hand.

I appreciate the thought that went into this thread, but I can't help but notice that you speak of the "old days" when your registration date shows you joining only a year ago. This stuff goes through cycles. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif and you just gotta roll with it. People two, three, four years ago were saying that GC would end up degenerating into a worthless mess, but it's never happened. We always get out of it.

Hey, Marick, name and shame all of those you think suck at spamming.

Yes, the Cid's Knights will squeal in anger at your doing so, but let's face it, no-one thinks their posts are crap otherwise they wouldn't post them, and they'll think you're talking about someone else, therefore the entire thread is worthless.

Plus I want to see some quality drama...well...any drama will do really, I'm not picky...and I'm too cheap to go to the movies.

I don't understand why people are thinking that General Chat has suddenly become an intolerable mess. General Chat has been pretty much like this for at least a year now, and probably longer. There are still good threads as well as the load of bad threads. It seems like it is getting worse because it's the same old stuff we've been seeing for months or years, when in reality, the only thing that has changed is ourselves.

I've been around for longer than Hsu realized, and some members know this as well, but I've definitely seen a degeneration of topics and posts here at EoFF recently. Perhaps that is just the natural progression of things as a community gets larger. It tends to be the same way in society, since the larger the community, the bigger the gap becomes between different groups.

by the way, Psy, I love you. I think I'll compose a list tonight.

That's my thinking as well. People who are posting "bad spam" obviously don't think it's bad in their eyes, and others seem to enjoy (or at least tolerate) it themselves. I may not like it myself, but hey, there are a million forums out there, there has got to be a couple suited to my taste. If I ever get fed up with this place, I can always find a new one.

Unless you tell me about your insecurities I won't be able to guide you through them! Maybe we could make a list of all the things that are good about being a Bleys clone, and see how that makes you feel. Perhaps we could even try to convert you into a "Psychotic clone", and then you wouldn't feel so lonely and isolated anymore. :)

As far as im concerned the worst form of spam is people complaining about spam. Im sick of seeing the word spam. Id rather read a whole page of nonsense which is amusing the people involved in creating it then see someone making a post in their nonsense thread, "saying this is total spam". Do they not see that by entering this persons thread and throwing in a comment about spam they are infact guilty of spamming themselves?

Your first post has been edited accordingly. Not closin' the thread, though. :)

I find arrogance to be almost as annoying as spam, and it's also notable that, rather often, spammers complain about other spammers not being good enough when they themselves are seen as not good enough by those less spammy than... okay, I'm hoping you get the idea.

I'm with Flamethrower. Especially with regards to quality of threads. I find very few threads are of low quality - that is to say, the topic of the thread. It's the posts within the thread that can be crap. This will be dealt to whenever it gets out of hand, so that's okay.

EDIT: The EGG would have had your head for some of the errors in that first post, btw. I mean, there are mistakes, and there's mixing up "their" and "there".

You know, if you guys want more people to notice the announcements, you can just use html to change the annoucement thread title to neon pink. Or even just increase the font size or bold the darn thing.

The first post in this thread is hilariously pompous.

The fact that so many people are trying to pin all the spammage on Psychotic seems misguided to me and I would defend him if I didn't think that he enjoys the attention (attention whore that he is).

Spam is like fashion, if the celebrities wear good stuff, then everyone else will follow suit. But if the celebrities start wearing crappy stuff (like Kirsten Dunst and that whole bag-lady, hobo-boho, "please feed me" look that was all the rage awhile ago) then everyone else will wear crappy stuff.

Baa, goes the sheep.

Killing yourself is always the best option. Otherwise you'll end up on crappy tv shows talking about "back in the day" and you'll look such a sight that no one will even know its you until your name appears at the bottom of the screen. And thats even more of an embarassment than people not recognizing you in the first place because you look so awful, because now they'll know its you and you'll have disgraced your fans and yourself. Altho if the fans are infact ungrateful bastards like you say then they deserve to be disgraced. But its really not worth disgracing yourself in the process.

I don't see how there can be a bad <i>and</i> good side to that. A lot of the posters that everybody claims are "good spammers" don't seem all that different to the people other posters call "bad spammer" to me.

Crash, I'm not reviving anything. I was merely being pointless. Hmm..

Furthermore, Psy, that makes that the 26th time I've requested your bannment. I still love you though.

Marick got banned and Psy got made admin. Ironic.

Did you not read my Elitism thread? I'm not capable of such emotions.

The Spam Brigade needs to activate it's members and deploy to the Gernal Chat Zone so that they can combat this new Army of spammers. Then we'll see who's best.

Good thing it's not the General Chat Zone or we'd all be screwed.

I think the topics in General Spam are nowhere like Spam. We have some topics dedicated to toilets, KFC, Facebook...etc. All topics here are friendly and welcomed by the family whether large or small, tall or short. :bigsmile:

I think the thread starter is just overreacting or maybe it is his menopause equivalent. Man of a certain age is like this. :monster:

Unfortunately trolling has become the new spam, but it's just not the same. There was a real art behind fabricating something of no value and trying to pawn it off as legitimate discourse.

The algorithms defeated the Age of the Spammer. :cry:
