If you meant me earlier, I apologize, I didn't have ANYTHING to do that day.  It was cold as hell outside, my car was frozen, I had no work, no school, no tv, just my study laptop. I finished all my finals and therefore had nothing to study. But see, things turned out just fine afterwards so I guess you have less to complain about now.  | ||||||||||||||||

Originally posted by Ran-chanOriginally posted by Shyguy And why do you think it boosts activity? Competition! People compete to get the most posts and be "the winner". Some people take it as a competition to have the most posts there irregardless of content. Therefore, getting more ranks easily and climbing the ACS ladder. And I'm sorry, Kyouji for that post. I thought he was getting hostile.  | ||||||||||||||||

Originally posted by Shyguy I post here because I like to talk to people about various stuff. And I see the ACS as a nice thing. It can sometimes boost the activity quite a lot. And not everything in there is spam. It IS possible to have a normal discussion. | ||||||||||||||||

Essentially what Squash Monster said, only said by me. I mean, his posts in this thread have not exactly been the best ever, but Shyguy, that post was... Unnecessary. And very confusing  | ||||||||||||||||

Dude, he asked a question once. In one post.
This isn't a choke up and yell "Don't you see that you're tearing this familly appart?!" type of moment. Bah. | ||||||||||||||||

Calm down, BPM. Sheesh. If you REALLY want to argue then for the sake of all of us, take it to PM.  | ||||||||||||||||
| Alastor Posts: 375/8204 |
No, your post added little to the discussion and was an adequate example of the kind of material this thread said is not good. | ||||||||||||||||
| BPM Posts: 66/77 |
"BPM: No. Just no."
No what? No you don't want me to agree with you? No what you said is not true? No you don't understand how I don't understand what this has to do with silliness and stupidity? Please fill me in. | ||||||||||||||||

Originally posted by Shyguy I beat the board a while ago. The guy at the end is easy. It's not worth it. | ||||||||||||||||

It's not about people's sole purpose in LIFE, but
They feel obligated to post here to win the board. They sometimes think it's a game. Especially when it comes to custom title privileges after half a million posts, if done before 2000 days. | ||||||||||||||||

Stats in posts *was* really cool when everyone first came to the board, because you could make cool bars and stuff with them... actually, some people still do.
Ranks weren't a concern years ago... why would they be now? If your sole purpose in life is to see what that mystery rank is that's 40 posts away, well... | ||||||||||||||||
| Alastor Posts: 371/8204 |
I dunno, I have yet to see anyone who uses the stats in posts thing - any of them - that was a good poster anyway  | ||||||||||||||||

Originally posted by Shyguy We tried taking away the ACS once- All that happened is alot of people missed it so we brought it back, I don't know if it really affected the spam count much. And the ranks are a good point- I agree that they might be an incentive to spam (If I recall, on my early days I used to strive to get +1 rank per day) but I like them  . It would be too bad if we had to get rid of them just because a few people go too far (maybe get rid of the &rank )Alastor |
Posts: 368/8204 Indeed. It's times like this when it's a good idea to just remember ||bass' sig; "Think about what you're saying, understand what you're talking about, and most importantly, Don't Be Stupid." | Danielle |
Posts: 389/6737 You can post a lot and have decent content at the same time, believe it or not. Just think about what you're saying. Make an effort to make the post worth reading. If it's just a repeat of someone else's post above you, try to make it unique somehow. And by somehow, I mean in a non spammy, non trolling way. | Sinfjotle |
Posts: 142/1697 Yeah, Squash, there is also real sarcasm from that 8% that is mistaken.
| God, I really want to disagree with you, but I'm to lazy to think of something to say, so uhh, yeah... cool... No Shyguy, they rough ACS back, and if people feel good for posting the most, cool. You fucking touch my rank and you die though! Deleted User |
Posts: 112/-7750 We need to take off everything worth competing for. ACS is merely a "Who has more postcount wins" Competition.
| The ranks are also of slight concern, too. Seeing as how the more posts you have, the better your little character looks. Squash Monster |

Originally posted by DracoonHint: 92% of all "sarcasm" seen on message boards is not proper sarcasm because: A) It's a normal post until someone points out how stupid it is, then the original poster suddenly jumps in and says "You're an idiot, that was sarcasm.". B) People who do (A) are really lame. People who honestly try to do sarcasm on the internet and don't overdo it to the point of absurdity are all idiots. Okay, pop quiz! Which one of these is sarcasm? A) Person one: I really like popcorn. Person two: Popcorn sucks. Person two: Dude, don't you understand sarcasm? B) Person one: Popcorn is awesome. I love when you cover it with so much butter that you make yourself throw up. You get to taste it twice that way! We should make a monument to popcorn. We should make a monument /out of/ popcorn. Because food with so much salt that you can use it to make a field unusable? That's the best type of food. Sinfjotle |
Posts: 141/1697 I thought it was such a simplistic rule by now that "spam/stupidity = bad".
| Although sarcasm gets taken for stupidity quite to often on these boards. I'm guilty of thinking sarcasm was pure stupidity  Trapster |
Posts: 569/3604 Erm, okay. Set a timer for when you´ll blow up so we can abandon the board BEFORE that happens.
| And maybe I spam but at least I try not to. "Kidding...but I figure the majority of people here know common sense anyways...course it wouldn't be you if you didn't find it annoying after some time, Al. I kinda figured you'd have blown up earlier. " You mean if he was here during the Ninja AE days? This is a long thread. Click here to view it. | | ||
