^ loves kids.

but honestly though,


most of the topics on here do stay on topic, dont make it out like a sh*t load of spam took over and its unruly. spam's gonna happen, people arent robots.

and in all reality, some of the best moments on cb, from the fights to the drama, to the just plain wierd moments, were indeed considered as "spam".

it gives the site some personality, believe it or not. and this is the most "closest" of forums ive been on, in terms of familiarity, so i think thats another reason why spam is gonna occur. and if you do take waccoons idea, and be "really strict". i think you forgot people can leave. why would you wanna come on something in your free time where your getting "warned" consitently and over supervised, what is this school?


personally i think its fine as it is now, not too strict, not too lenient.



i dont get why people care so much especially if your not a mod, because at least thats understandable.
personally i can care less what the hell other people do, but thats just me.

*takes flower* *bows*

and who just came back from suspension?

yeah, i posted in anonymous shout outs before i read this.

i agree that the leniency rule was not created to justify or allow the level of spam bombing that has occured over the last couple of days. people need to top hiding behind that rule. which, isnt evena RULE, but a suggestion.

i see where evan is coming from, and i TOTALLY agree with im that most of the bes tmoments on cb have been what would be considered spam. Fab Five!!!!

but, i dont think that constantly spamming is a particularly intellingetn response. after a while, it will get old, and then where will you be. at this rate, the whole little group of spammers will just burn out... which may or may not be a bad thing, depending on who you ask.

personally, i think what waccoon is saying is just pathetic... as if anyone wants that. i dont think there is anything WRONG with spamming... its just kinda silly. fun silly, but silly.

Nobody appreciates spam, asides from the ones doing it. I don't see anything pathetic about it, and I'd really love to know what exactly it is that makes you think that.

I kinda knew that, I'm not really one to go off topics anyway...

^I'll have to agree on that one.


Glad you brought this up Mona, it's been buggin me for some time.

I understand what jusun was trying to do, and I agree with his original idea.
However, it def got out of hand, and the new rule has been abused.
I think a lot of people can agree that Cb has gone downhill as of late. [atleast to me]
I don't spend time on here to read pointless spam topics.
and I'm sure most everyone else doesn't either.

Hope everything will begin to clear up...


oh, yes...new pet peeve: people that complain about us not being lenient enough.
I think that is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.

Several things I'd like to put out there:
1) I myself did not know about what was going on in the chat (about James making a spam topic that won't get closed).
2) For those who care, James was not suspended on his original account.
3) The only topics that should have been deleted were the spam ones. Forget the fact that it was deleting evidence. Who has the patience just *looking* at 75 spam topics? The only one that shouldn't have been is the Anarchy thread.

Suspended, posting disabled- it's essentially the same thing.

Fun.. I also agree but there should be just one day.. ONE DAY of the year that every one can just Spam..

Thats just what I think.. moving on..

^ Ha ha. Just hang out at the sandbox. Spamming is a lot more lenient and it's open everyday.

Yes, the topics were getting awfully boring, and full of spam.

no one needs to appreciate it... who cares if its fun for some people. *shrugs*
and your idea... its just so regimented... as if it really MATTERS what happens to them.


1) lets all stop outright blaming all the mods as a collective unit. the person who did the suspending was sammi, the mistake, or not, depending on you rpoint of view is hers. it has now been rectified.
2) see anonymous shout outs for a full explanation/discussion
3) can i just say, the 75 thread spamfest was a DIFFERENT occassion from the whole thing which resulted from the anarchy thread being spammed. that took place in the late night/early morning of the previous day. the one which has caused all th econtroversy was a SEPERATE batch of threads that evening.
i had NOTHING to do with the early morning ones, i wasnt even online/in chat when they were made. thats why people were upset that i had been semi-suspended, or whatever you want to call it.
meh, as for the anarchy thread, there wasnt much purpose in leaving it there anyway, because people are stupid.

----

oh, and for the record, going backa few months, i now TOTALLY agree with michael that threads/posts shouldnt be deleted. it has been a pain in the ass not being able to show that i wasnt as involved when all the threads had been deleted.

I still fail to see your point. You've offered no real argument, besides "Well.. who cares? It's fun."

that is my entire argument. this is for fun, ergo, people can do fun things.

That would be just. A very bad idea. And for what? So the mods can go back and delete 5 pages of spam? Eeps.

although i dont like the idea, id just like to point out how easy it is to create a new forum, disable post count, and then delete the forum when the day is over.

this being why we have the sandbox as this is not needed.

^ Exactly, there's the Sandbox anyways, which is pretty much just spam, so if you want to spam, you can go in there.


Thinking of THAT just scares me. hah.

I liked the leniency idea, I really did. I noticed the spammitism but since I don't really go on cB that much anymore, it wasn't too much of a big deal for me.

Does this mean...leniency is done for? Because I see this thread going two ways, and one of them includes many of the mods posting about how they really ARE being lenient and how it's stupid how everyone says they aren't. So they tighten up a bit more and a bit more. That's all I don't want to happen.

And I agree with Sean. Spam moments have been fun. I mean, that spamgamethread in the sandbox. Lots of jokes and most find it more fun than the lounge.

No, as Mona said leniency has not "gone to hell." But people who spam will be dealt with, and so will absolutely meaningless topics.

Ahh, so this was the "spambombing" that Sammi was talking about the other day.

I'm just not too sure what you guys consider completely pointless topics..

^Oh yes. We missed quite the fiasco.

to be fair, there have been MUCH worse spam bombings...

the spamming day thing would fail, because no one wants to do it if its allowed. silly, but true.

Thank you so much for all the people who made a point.

Let us enjoy and have fun on the forums in a civilized manner, not that I'm saying anyone isn't civilized. Spamming is just something immature and we are tired of it.
