If we is referring to me and you, that makes you a hypocrite. Your trying to teach people not to spam even though you spammed hours ago. Good job Rob.

Saying "We can live without it." doesn't make it spam. We could easily live the rest of our lives if this whole site was deleted. MLBPP 2009 isn't coming out, that didn't cause any suicides, every single person here could go on fine without this site. You're basically saying that you would rather have nobody post here than have a few posts that you personally don't care about.

See, now both of you are spamming on the NO SPAM topic (Rob and m_a_l).

Allow me to go on a grammar/spelling mistake-free, and possibly insulting rant now:


I know, this isn't exactly an adults forum, but honestly, sometimes you guys act like you should be sent to kindergarten.

Chitopr: Get a new keyboard, a better English teacher, or Rosetta Stone. Honestly, you were getting better at the non-spamming a while back, but have reverted since then to your old form.

Rob: No need to point out all of Chitopr's flaws, you make too many of them yourself. What if he pointed out all your misspellings? You're not the oldest person on here, but at least act like you have SOME manners, because I'm sure your parents didn't raise you to be like this. You talk like that in high school to someone older, you'll get your butt whooped before you can say "Epic Fail."

EDIT:

Listen dude, stuff like the "Forum Member Updates" and "Rate A Song With A Smiley" topics are for fun, with no Power Pros 2009, we get bored on here.

Well then, why don't you go play SimYard. Oh wait, your team sucks on there, and you're not interacting, so I'm sure you'll get bored with that too. Ride a bike, play some sports, buy a new video game, watch TV, play with a friend, go to ANOTHER website, there are thousands out there that you would probably like, if you found them. If you're bored, don't go spamming on sites (this goes for all of you, not just my buddy Rob here). And yes, I corrected that whole sentence.

M_a_l: You're fine, for the most part, but you should be trying to get Rob to stop rather than pointlessly arguing with him. You yourself are being a bit of a hypocrite by spamming the NO SPAM topic. Honestly, you're not even policing your own rules...

Cooldude/DeathJohnson: You're not a spammer, but your sarcastic remarks, as much as I love sarcastic remarks, are not aiding this site. You cause quite a few arguments with one click of the SUBMIT button, and you refuse to defend your point a few times, just for the sake of adding another smartass remark. Chill out, this is a site for middle/high schoolers for the most part, and you're not above everyone else, you're just as old as quite a few of us.

Other people that piss me off include: jesse10090 (chitopr, but older and not on anymore), anyone who advertises on this site, like that one guy a few months back, and anyone else who has most of their posts on Forum Member Updates, which brings me to my next point.


Forum Member Updates, I say we keep, but ONLY if you have something relatively important, not "I just had a waffle" or "I just bought Call of Duty 4." Anything that isn't needed is subject to being flooded with angry PM's.

Rate the Song With a Smiley, I'm on the fence about. I really don't think we should have it, but I also think that if it were only for songs or bands that nobody's heard of, such as Gaslight Anthem or Hot Hot Heat, we could introduce new music to each other. I pretty much say no to that, though.


If you want my honest opinion, I think that really, just 1 more mod would smooth things out, even if Darkshade said "OK, I'll make _____ a mod for 1 week, and if he does well, I'll keep him there. If he abuses his powers or such, he gets his powers stripped." I'm not saying I should be a mod, but I at least feel I'd be a candidate.

This is not to say I haven't spammed as well, I was a pretty bad spammer in my first few months, and even got banned from the wiki for a week after someone else and I kept changing each others' wiki pages. I've grown out of that, though, and I've tried to be more of a positive influence on you guys (well, relatively), being involved in this admittedly troubled site's community.


You guys are great, trying to keep the site afloat in case another PP game comes out, but really, you guys need to cut it the heck out, because you guys are also the downfall of the site.


Thank you for reading all this, and I have one last suggestion: Import a DS Power Pro game using a site like Playasia.com; DS's don't have region codes like Wiis, so you can play Japanese games on them no problem.

Well I'm fine with that but I'm trying to get my point across that we should keep the unless posts down. For example, do we really need to say "I'm following" on logs? I really really think that is spam don't you guys. It is very easy to spot hose that are spam by reading the content of it and you should be easily able to tell the difference between that and something with a little content in it. Saying I agree on something doesn't count. Please avoid the unless crap like your right or I'm following (you guys know who you are) or ok sure.

that's why i usually put a poll up instead, that way i know who's following and no spam.

But obviously, we have a lot of work to do when it comes to this, just report all the posts that are spam from now on.

What I'm tired of is people making useless topics. I brought SimYard because there was no Power Pros. But the Topc that could have gone within a topic. Do we really need to post that???

After seeing the latest posts on Rate this song with a Smiley, I really think we need a mod that can delete spam only. I mean looking at the last 3 or 4 posts, their must have been a confusion but it was followed by some spam if any of you guys think so. I don't know if DS can make a mod with that kind of power, but I hope some people would share my opinion.

I think that we should keep both Forum Member Updates and Rate The Song Above With a Smiley.
Remember, the reason why the Forum Member Updates was created was so that the useless crap wouldn't go into a different topic. I think that it's useful to have one topic where anyone can spam all they want, as long as they don't spam elsewhere.
As far as the Rate The Song thread goes, I think it's good to have a topic where people can suggest songs they like to other members. However, I hate it when people (especially chitopr) post a random, meaningless smiley without actually listening to the song just so they can post their own song. The success of any topic depends upon the people who post in it.
I second the mod idea, we really need someone to take control who actually has the power to enforce it.

Heres a fact. Theres 58 pages of crap there. Well, its like 70% spam there and actually now to think of it, we should keep it, but its more like a spam topic. And the thing I'm pissed about is that the posts there are really spam if you read through it.
However, my point is that the songs there are really common and we known.
Thank you :) I think we need nominations.

I am kind of guilty of posting one-liners in logs just saying, "I am following." However this serves a purpose. You don't always have something to say in a log because you don't really need to reply to every single game. However you don't want to manually find the log in the forums archive every time you want to read it. Just posting something in it will automatically put the thread in the quick list in "View your posts". This way when you go to see which threads have recieved new posts since you last read it, you see the logs thread as well.
