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...

I have to admit... Spam is fun when I'm doing it... but not fun when other people are doing it and I'm not in on it.

I'm torn on the issue.

Hahaha. Elba, I love you.

i blame bad topics.

if i see a topic like
"what's your favorite color" or something where people just post one word answers, it's like... an instinct for me to spam and inject some life into the thread.

here's an exampe-

nice, long thread. of people. saying what they're obsessed with. no discussion. whatsoever.

if spam was tightened down, any attempt to start a convesation would be censured.

I agree. I mean, I know I'm guilty of it at times, but even in threads like those I purposely attempt conversation, but ehh I give up. It's like that a lot. Even with regular topics, no one actually converses. They read the first post, answer/reflect, then post, not even giving a single thought of previous posts. Meh. I've been ranting about this for awhile. I guess I just felt like being a broken record.
