cB suicide, ripping out the heart of this site Options

[Afrodisiac-aka-A...]

I've been noticing that the mods are being really sensitive and non-lenient towards spam and those who spam. so, i decided to bring out my intelligent side and try to derive a reason for them being a bunch of bitches...



I don't really understand the negative points of spam when its mostly just talking to someone else in a topic. The mods happen to demand that we overlook member-bashing that's directed towards us, so why can't spam be treated the same. Simply ignore the spamming and it will eventually stop....


I was introduced to this site and told that it would be just like going to a mall or a new school. I would merely introduce myself, get acquianted with some of the members and have fun. Spamming is the one thing that makes this site worth coming for. No one wants to come to a site and deal with the same issues that occur in reality. As "horrible" as it may be, it shows someone's true self. I'm not trying to disrespect anyone, but you'd have to be a damn fool to attempt to eliminate spam when its what keeps this site running....



Truthfully, if this continually over-moderation and hatred towards spam continues, i guarantee that this site will lose a considerably amount of members. But its not my decision whether this continues and it shouldn't be the mods' either. cB as a whole should have a say in whether this gayness/ pussification of cB continues...

^but you're capable of doing so in a wordy enough manner that it's actually entertaining, Justin. People like Kevin who just say like one word and have a conversation like that, not so much.

You know, they're really not overmoderating in the least. If anything, there's been such an excess of spam because they were trying to be lenient. Do you realize how ironic this topic is? People are unhappy because of the quality of posts these days, not the other way. If the spam were to coninue, that would be cb suicide. As it is, every action has an equal and opposite reaction (wooo for learning things in physics). Spam was the action, coming down on it is thee reaction. It's perfectly fair.

I used to question why spam was bad too, as long as there was conversation, but I definitely see why now. It's hard to find posts that are actually worth reading like this.
