The Off-topic board has problems and this is one I have found.

When i'm looking at the "posts since my last visit" I might see a topic that sounds kind of interesting, but it has 30+ pages to it so I don't bother looking because I think i'd have to read it all before I could join in, but in closer inspection of the topic, the first post is good and the rest is filled with a few people saying random things that are no more than 1 or 2 sentences. The rest of their post is filled with a full quote of the person who posted before them.

Stay on topic? Is it not called, the Off topic board?

The off-topic board is there to talk about things not related to Illarion, and dosn't mean "Talk about things that have nothing to do with the original topic". There might not be a rule to stop people changing topics, but it is just good maners not to and is also knows as, "being mature" which I noticed one of the smapers (just for you Drogla) was trying to earn

Interesting.

I don't intend to turn this subject into a flame war, but there are some things people should follow just out of politeness. Not every single thing should be a written rule. It makes everybody's day, including yours, much easier.
I'll tell you what I told my players,

"I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to run a camp"

You don't run anything on these boards though, so why are you here?

So basically, the intelligent mature people don't like us dip shits having our own board?

Darlok · Post by **Darlok** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 9:45 pm

Your board?

Well, rent some webspace put a forum on it and call it your board.
But as long as you use this board here you can only refere to "our" or "thier" board.

Maybe you wanted to word your sentance wrong.

Darlok · Post by **Darlok** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 10:01 pm

"Our" in your sentence refers to the, whatever you call them, "friends of spam".

So you basicly claimed the Offtopic area as yours, which you expressed with the word "own".

"Our own board".

But you have to respect the rest of the users of this forum and thier right to use every part of it undisturbed by a minority.
Thats what i meant with "our board".

Then why did you antagonise him, you dipshit? This is yet another of the things which you imagine that we find endearing. It isn't. It isn't endearing, like you imagine your literary molestation of our topics.

Perhaps Kasume, you would like to refamiliarise yourself with basic manners and board etiquette. We consider ourselves a mature community, I do at least. No longer should we be forced to read through a topic just to glean the slightest shred of interesting material, the likes posted by Hagen, Moskher and Bloodhearte.

No, instead we're forced to read the various piles of verbal shit that Irania, Quinasa and Kasume serve up to us.

Whats funny is, the only people that are breaking the rules, are the ones whining about spam.

Okie dokie Seany. Care to point out what rules Darlok, Hermie and I have broken lately? One of your fellow spammers insulted me, the guy behind the monitor, heavily.

Kasume · Post by **Kasume** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 11:13 pm

I've never insulted anyone... Cept Ath... Mostly because he is a jerk to me.

That wasn't an insult... I was stating that you're entering racism territory in the discussion. I wasn't calling you racist...

How is this an insult?

ITs an implication, an isult would be

"Now your being a racist"

Read the wording.

Bloodhearte · Post by **Bloodhearte** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 11:21 pm

Even implying such, in my eyes, is an insult. The thing is, it wasn't even race related. It was as if he was just compulsively typing whatever popped into his head.

ezo · Post by **ezo** » Sat Jul 10, 2004 11:31 pm

Kasume recently the off topic board (many others also) has turned to absolute crap, and the reason is that you and your little friends have nothing better to do than write pointless five word posts to eachother.

Go out into the real world and get a job or try taking up a sport, but can you just give us a break from the constant stream of utter rubish that comes from your keyboard.

Because you obviously had not clue at what I was getting at.

Actually, just to refresh my memory, which did I break?

Arkadia Misella · Post by **Arkadia Misella** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 12:01 am

I agree with Brendan. Just a recap here....
ATHF = Crap and useless spam
Illarion ARG's = Floated between good and bad because of spam
age = Had to be locked because of crap
KH = Floated way off
So, who are you? = Has 13 spam posts per actual content posts

Those were just the top few I looked at.
Off topic means to talk of things not affiliated with Illarion, but many have deemed it neccesary to write anything they want at anytime there....making threads triple in size in a matter of minutes and making it damned near impossible to keep up with them on a once a day basis.

Nobody expects that. What we expect is, that you show decency to others with your behaviour and act (write) according to good manners.

If a rather sizeable group is annoyed by the spamming, then you should perhaps consider ceasing it.

Kasume called himself a "dipshit" so "mr.mason" wasn't breaking any rule.

The "illarion Args" topic started well, but went down hill when certain people posted certain crap.

Because you obviously had not clue at what I was getting at.

If it insulted him, it dosn't matter what you were getting at! Maybe The Returner (returned because he broke rules in the past might I add) didn't get what mr.mason was "getting at"

and if an even larger group is being classified as spammers?

Its still breaking a rule.

I could call myself an asshole, would you make a post right after it calling me an asshole?

Yes I have broken rules in the past. So? Do you have some kind of tendency to try and change an argument based on stale, cold, history?

Caranthir the great · Post by **Caranthir the great** » Sun Jul 11, 2004 1:37 am

I hardly doubt that this is the actual case, but to put it short: Yes.
There are plenty of unmoderated messageboards across the internet which are ment to be spammed at, the problem is that Off-topic board is not one of them. Hence you should take the spam elsewhere if people are bothered by it. Simple.
