*AHEM* Options

Some members here on cB do not realize that a leniently moderated Lounge forum does not mean complete spam topics will be allowed. Got it? Jusun's intention of announcing it with a bang (which wasn't a terribly good idea) was so that repeated topics will be allowed, going slightly off-topic will be allowed, and that topics do not necessarily have to have a certain "point" to it, but that does not mean spamming will be allowed from now on. Refer to his statement: "sometimes things need to be revisted and retalked. its part of everyday life."

The leniency rule has not "gone to hell", some of you are just taking advantage of this rule. Bravo. This isn't just regarding the multiplex10 spam topics from this morning but also to members' comments about staff not being lenient enough. In fact, we've been more lenient than ever! The staff has been noticing such reactions for a while now. Considering what happens to cB when we are being lenient is proof enough that a completely unmoderated forum will not work!! Complaining about it in a childish way is not going to change anything, so suck it up.

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.

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.

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.

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."
