Popularity I laugh in your face!

Thread starter: Why did you create a thread about it, nothing will change eoff. You even got owned by poetically pathetic, talk about embarrassing.

[Roto13]

Is this what EOFF has become?

I think I have the perfect forum for you. They have like 10 pages of rules for every board and you can be banned for double posting. PM me for more info.

Dude, EoFF should totally be like a high school.

And we can make gangs. And have a massive gang war. And the winning gang can get cake.

And MILF, he can get cake to.

[Miriel]

We did have a massive gang war once. It was fantastic.

[Mr Cactuar]

Twas there uzi? And pimpin tunes? And the beetches from the street?

Cos I would so be down with that.

And popularityz is funz.

[Loony BoB]

He's right, guys. And it's all Psycotic's fault. I say we ban him.

[Madame Adequate]

And MILF, he can get cake to.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

He's right, guys. And it's all Psycotic's fault. I say we ban him.

BAN PYSHOCITXC!

Edit: Roto? Banned for double posting? imo needs to be the rule here.

Mr. Impurity, I tend to agree with you, but I've found as Rebellion leader that when you are outright serious and directly criticize a group, it doesn't go down well, but when you inject humor into otherwise serious comments and include less criticisms, it has better results among the common populace. By directly criticizing the spammers, you now have many people ready to target you and pick battles with you, though if you had brought this up in a lighter manner it might have worked better. Also, naming names naturally invites trouble as well.

If we're going to define "spam" as anything that is not strictly related to a topic, do you have any idea how boring this place would be? Posts do get deleted, and entirely pointless things are removed, and sometimes people do get punished. But it's a place for people to have fun and converse, and if you have a problem with people not being serious enough, put them on your ignore list.

Well why is it, then, that many a time the people who are trying to be funny that go way off topic are fine, but as soon as two members have something akin to a conversation in a thread, they're asked by a staff member to take it to PM's? Why is it that as soon as a related topic is brought up for more than one post, it MUST be separated into another topic?

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a little humorous spam, but if this is a place to "have fun and converse" why is it that conversation or related topics are given a greater priority to be labeled as spam and stifled?

[NeoCracker]

I give up. You win. I'll post on topic.

First to the tread started.

Why should someone who makes more inteligent posts seem more popular.
I have been feeling like this past week, and guys like Psycotic doing what the do and making me laugh makes my day a bit less ty. Tell me, why the hell should someone who goes around being able to explain in detail why they think gays should get married and what not, be more popular or get more respect? Don't get me wrong, I do respect people who can clearly state their opinions and such, but thats got nothing on what a random spam post is able to do for poeple. Its not often that being able to express serious opinions is able to lift the spirits of someone who is down, but just stupid little jokes here and there can do a person a world of good.

Its not often I say this and mean it, but I think your opinion on popularity sucks.

Now to Vincent, I still highly doubt the legitimacy of your little revolution.

[Markus. D]

Let's calm down a little everyone :]

Everyone has a style of posting hopefully unique to them, and also a majority of the people like a certain kind of post.

I myself find the short... mildly off-topic post that remains to the point~ absolute win.

[Loony BoB]

A new thread can be started for a new topic. Stop spamming, people.

[Slothy]

And MILF, he can get cake to.

THE CAKE IS A LIE!

You beat me to it.

Anywho, on topic I guess; I don't know if the most popular people spam more than they contribute, but the people I like the most don't. Then again, I rarely come into General Chat, so I might just be missing a lot of the spam.

[Momiji]

Thread starter: Why did you create a thread about it, nothing will change eoff. You even got owned by poetically pathetic, talk about embarrassing.

BoB told me to be nice so here goes:

Raebus, please don't talk to me in such very very insulting ways.

Anyway, to stay on topic: Spam is good in small doses when done right. Doing so to gain popularity is stupid, because the attention you get will be more negative than positive.

[Raebus]

BoB said something similar to me so here goes:

I know I wasn't being serious but you didn't so, I apologize and I won't talk to you in such insulting ways.

That killed my soul.

My post in this thread got deleted. I can only assume that this is because I am not that popular and because the staff is inherently corrupt and only caters to those they have befriended or other members of the staff themselves. Who do I need to talk to in order to get both of these subjects rectified? I am seriously very angry because I was singled out in this thread for a spammy post when I have read several other posts that have been just as random and just as spammy. In fact, more spammy than my post was, because at least mine actually made comment on the topic at hand.
