Createspam, Createblog has created a monster Options

Alright. I have noticed recently that these boards have been suffering from an obscene amount of spam and one on one conversation based posting. The entire vibe and feel of the boards have, in my opinion, reached a kind of low. The debate threads are more stagnant than ever. The lounge is a waste of time. The entertainment threads suffer any kind of in-depth or worthwhile posts. It just seems like the community boards are really beginning to suck.

The problem is, how would we solve this problem?
Do we need to punish those spammers? If so, will traffic decrease to a useless degree?
Maybe we can try to attract some older parties?
The debate thread could become exclusive. But, then it might actually become entirely stagnant.
The idea for an art subforum seems to be a push in the right direction.
Or maybe I should just find a more suitable community board?

What do you guys think?

Um, no.

But following rules might be good.

Again, slightly hypocritical, but I can recognize not only that but also when I've gone too far. Knowing limits is very helpful.

I have followed rules my entire time at cB. Only these past 3/4 days I have gone a a little overboard with the spammage and cB errupts into topics like this. I used to look at yours and James posts and be like "Omg ... why aren't mods stopping them ? Why havent they been suspended or anything for having ongoing conversation in lots of threads ? Why isn't she following the no spams rule, isnt she a mod ? " But now that im doing that im just like lighten UP. Maybe it's cos its the first time i've ever gotten off topic in threads but damn. cB like ... reacts crazy and says we are flooding boards with nonsense and we should all together eliminate certain things and focus back to only skins and layouts and womp womp.

I know my limit, but once in a while nobody can help but go over the line. I know right now people are talking about Me Lorena Elba and Evan but it's not like we've done this aaall the time. If it causes too many problems then maybe mods should PM us and ask us to stop instead of creating full out topics.

Not pissing someone else off != holding back one's thoughts. I think everyone should feel free to express his thoughts and feelings; Nicki is just suggesting it be done in a respectful manner. In other words, it's alright to tell someone that you disagree with his point of view and find it to be misguided; it's not alright just to call someone a bitch.

Of course, sometimes the mere act of disagreeing with someone does piss him off, but such a person just needs to deal with the fact that sometimes, people will disagree with him.

In my entire time at cB I have never gotten rude or called anyone out of their name. I think that is going overboard and I haven't done that.
