I agree GD is getting spamy. I'm about to do something about it too!

Originally posted by Lord Shield: Well, I don't mean to get personal but, in my view, the only reason for this thread over a PM would havebeen because the originator didn't want to feel alone when contacting a mod. maybe he figured it would have more weight if people agreed with it

It's okay to use my name LS, I won't take it personally. Yeah, that's right I need to feel that I've got back up - that sounds like me.

I didn't PM a mod because I'm not going to run to a teacher like a child would. I believe this was a discussion worth having because it is about the way that GD is heading. I can discuss this openly, why are you so defensive?

Anyway it is apparent that many, many people feel there is too much spam here.

PS - that thing about my posts being drivel, I've given it some thought, perhaps you just don't understand them.

Originally posted by Attalus: Neb. I'll take a swing at "why the thread?" Perhaps it's more like a petition, and to make clear that more than onemember is unhappy with the general direction that things have gone of late. I certainly agree that one can always just ignore the threads that one is not interested in, but there seems to have been so many of them of late.

Precisely Attalus - I could have PM'd Ziroc or any of the mods but I'm only one voice. What I wanted to know was wether there were others who felt the same but weren't saying anything because they felt they were the only ones.

From the replies it seems there were many others.

I agree totally. That's one of the reasons why I seldom visit here anymore. Too much useless stuff to weed through.

Originally posted by johnny: I don't understand all the fuzz, if you don't like what you see, then don't read it. It's the same as reading a newspaper, some articles you read, some you don't.

Nice analogy johnny. In my sunday paper there is a pull out section for the cartoons. I put it straight in the bin because I don't find it interesting. I don't write to the editor asking him to stop because I know there are a lot of people who read that section.

However, if the cartoons started taking up the first four or five pages of the newspaper I might decide to write to him or I might decide to read another paper. If enough people do that then the paper will have only cartonns and nothing else.

Originally posted by Lord Shield: ]Likewise. I apologise to Donut for my early stance. I initially saw a dig and that's a problem with me, not our loveable footy fan [img]smile.gif[/img]

Apology accepted and reciprocated Lord Shield. To be perfectly honest I had no idea who originated the posts I listed.

But there were others who opinions that disagreed with your statement, what we are doing might not be to everyone's taste but neither were the large amount of politic and religous threads that plagued these forums a while back. It came to a point where enough was enough and Ziroc drew the line, the same is occuring now I presume.

It looks like all we need is a lesson in moderation, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

Originally posted by Melusine: BTW Donut... I think this is the most replies you've gotten to one of your topics in ages, you devious bastard It's beat even such gems as "How long is your nose".

Okay - this is out of context so let me explain. The 'How long is your nose' thread was posted to shed (sublety) some light on the frivolous nature of many posts around at the time. I was using it to make a point.

Not every one got it though and people actually measured their noses.

Of course LoA had to top it and that's what prompted the infamous 'longest booger thread'.

I too am not a great fan of religious or political threads , but they were discussions , and did belong in a genral discussions forum however even a pleb like me finds it difficult to have a discussion over poking someone with a 4 ft haddock or the like , also surely the what's your favourite ...( pick any 1 from 50 ) belong in the polls forum. So from what i can make of it the main problem seems to be people posting in the wrong forums.

Just my opinion.. which probabally should go in the opinions forum. [img]smile.gif[/img]
