I've almost had enough now. General Discussions is full of absolute crap. Spamming for all they are worth, people spamming for ranks and boasting about it. Good threads dropping off of the first page in hours. Some people seem to feel they have to post on every thread, to have an opinion on every subject, and even if they don't have an opinion it's still necessary to post something anyway.

There are a number of threads which are just spam (in my opinion). These include (on the first two pages alone):

The Charge of Chaos 2
Tired of getting tortured by Kaltia,Join the silent assassins !!
The Hug Kaltia Thread!
Trying to get something straight
The Charge of Chaos
Member Auction 2
Poke 4...Where will the madness END!!!
The Peasant Rebellion
Member Auction 2

That's another thing...inside jokes are often confusing to newbies...a lot of the threads around now are really just inside jokes if they're not simply blatant spam...I can't remember if I had a point now, but anyways, in jokes are getting too much...

What do you mean dude?

Legolas 08-24-2002 09:46 PM

Don't worry Jerome, of course I wouldn't ;)

Should people be disallowed to refer to the past simply because not everybody knows the history?
Many 'jokers' are more than willing to explain to newer members who ask. Not just the relevant few facts either, but quite a bit of Ironworks history, free of charge. And not everyone has to find the same jokes funny. That's entirely up to the individual him/herself.

I just adopt a philosophical attitude when I see crappy threads. I mean, what can you expect? As the saying goes, It takes all sorts to make a world. No point getting upset over crappy threads IMO. When I encounter a thread which strikes me (though not necessarily someone else) as just plain silly, what do I do? Ignore it. Deliberate flame-baiters or flame threads/posts -- okay, now that's a different matter.

Sure glad none of the threads I started have been blacklisted by Donut, BTW. [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]
