TFMF Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 this is a silly topic ;) but i agree - there is too much restriction on what we can post these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TetsuoShima Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just for your information. Excessive spamming will not even be allowed in this sub-forum, though more tolerance will be given here than in the other parts of the forum... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well this isn't really spaming - we are talking about the restrictions imposed on spamming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 For this sub-forum, I agree. But I was just pointing out that should you guys decide to go on a spamming-spree, that it would not be allowed... Not even in here... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 So lets talk about the restrictions - a little offtopic-ness isn't so bad - especially where the topic this is taking place in is finished with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorunNova Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 i.e. gratuitous booby posts won't be accepted, even in this distant port ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 i.e. gratuitous booby posts won't be accepted' date=' even in this distant port ^^[/quote'] yes i can understand that - those topics are really just silly topics and really are spam but what i'm talking about is meaningful posts that are offtopic a bit...

dino4 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 So lets talk about the restrictions - a little offtopic-ness isn't so bad - especially where the topic this is taking place in is finished with. Ok Then so if i want to talk about this new sub forum.. Mos Eisley Spaceport Are you saying that i am spaming???? :stare: Nite himself has said this area is for silly topics... At the end of a hard day we are only having a laugh! what harm is that doing?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 ALSO - i can understand topics that are designed for spamming - like the Talk about anything in here topic and that kind of thing and that those topics are just a waste of space Edit: however - why is it that these topics are only Locked - why arn't then just deleted instead - it would save space on the server or whatever Nite uses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindTrick Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I understand the need to free the site from "pointless" posts. But I think the hammer might have missed the mark. Perhaps there should be a seperate section for "non-scifi" topics in general... I always kinda thought that was Ten Forward, but obviously I was wrong... I think the mods should be greatful that we don't suffer from real spam like most forums, like "Click here to get your free ipod mini..." etc..

How about the post one "letter" topic that one has seen some hits myslef and a lot of others included, I dont see that topic in here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quosego Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Spamming is not good but this is killing an fly with an tank..... It inhibits fun and freedom, we are now obvously controlled..... Hmmm it seems to me all objections against the stop spamming actions (here) have been removed and the topic locked......... Does this means we are no controlled by an gestapo like organisation???? Obviously the opinions have been removed and obviously do not matter. I don't want to know were this will lead. Moderators are good but please don't push it to far..... You're not here to control.... But to guide.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators are good but please don't push it to far..... You're not here to control.... But to guide.... Very good point!! However now i have another question! Now i have responded to your post. It begs the question am i Spaming?? where will the mods draw the line?? ie: How will they decide what is spam and what is a valid question/responce?? :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Well they will decide if it's relevent to the topic - which it is - this is somthing that has really been imposed - moderating posts that arn't necessarily relevent but are interesting and meaningful posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i mean is they are not here now, to pick up on what people are saying . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Exactly - we could be having a 'conversation' on the forum that isn't relevent to the topic but is still interesting and not inappropriate i.e - why does a topic just have to be about one thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I don't think any of the mods wants to push it as far as you guys appearently now think they want to... Ten Forward is still the primary forum for non-sci-fi or general sc-fi related issues. MosEisley was simply created for 'silly' topics or topics that hold to much spam or irrelevant conversation. Replying to a post is obviously not spam, however, if that is all a certain user does, replying to topics, saying things like: "I agree." And nothing else to further the discussion, that might be interpretted as SPAM. But the user in question would really have to be pushing it then. Ordinarily, just replying to a topic is good, even more so, it is 'wanted/required'. It would really be a dead place over here if people stopped replying to one another... :) The line that is drawn, might differ slightly between te mods, some may be stricter, some may be more lenient... Which is to be expected, since mods are humanoid, after all... :) The mods are NOT here to proceed in a gestapo-like fashion, they are just here to make certain things don't get out of control. I think we can all see what a SPAM-thread is and what a spamming-spree is. This sub-forum is here for such topics, but if it gets out of control, the topic will be locked/deleted and possibly the post-count deducted from the involved users. This sub-forum is also here for topics that hold no meaning-full conversations, but are just fun once in a while... You are still free to proceed as you want on the forum (appart from the forum rules), but there will be spam-checks. From the past you can clearly find, what spam is. Just because a topic was moved to this sub-forum doesn't mean it's spam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino4 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 In Nites own words "This new forum is dedicated to lame, stupid, dispicable, and dirty topics and completely irrelevant polls. Any threads fitting this description in any other forum will be moved here." Now if i am reading this right it means that, if i want to post a new silly topic then i can. As long as it is in Mos Eisley Spaceport ! ;) However if the rare mood takes me and i want to post a serious Topic then i know were to go. like i said earler at the end of a long day this is just a bit of fun... " Having a laugh"!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
