Hi all,

A lot of you may know I haven't been on the forums much for a while, and I've just realised how much 'spam' there is now compared to back then. Just looking in the General Chit Chat forum I see mostly moved/locked threads. For example, why is talking about 'oliebollen' - although I don't really know what they are () - considered spam? Why are threads about DJMystic now being moved and locked away, as if he's not to be talked about?

No offence, but I think people here really need to rethink the spam rules. General Chit Chat is just that, it's chat, and threads are constantly being closed, such as the oliebollen one. Why is this?

And if I'm wrong, can I get a detailed list of the spam rules please? Don't point me to the forum rules, please, they're crap.

Thanks.

-Billy

(Edit: spelling correction, thanks )

Ya i said that in a thread a while ago, then surfi moved some stuff from t n t to General Chat.. lol

Pssst: it's oliebollen, not olliebollen (one 'L'). Oliebollen is the Dutch word for 'fritter'.

Especially that STFU guy and his m8. That was rediculas and thats why ppl hav been talking bout a new mod. The episode will strengthen both sides arguement cos the mods did a gud job

The one about Oliebollen (it's in the thread what it is about) was split because it went off topic, why it is locked... I dunno... guess, everything was said

About DJMystic, he did some very bad things in the past... But that is the past... I hope it isn't now (still) what you're saying it is... Otherwise, to the rest: get over it....

The only (written) rules I know of are the ones of the forums...

I didn't know how it was back then (in 2002), but like it is now, yeah, there is much spam, but I wouldn't consider these forums spammy if you compare them to others, although I must say I see many same threads... (It's like no-one will search anymore for something and questions are asked over and over again)...

Did I miss something?  I noticed the name in the list of latest replies to threads so had a look, but he's only got one visible post which isn't too bad - I'm guessing whatever he was banned for was deleted...

what happen?

Somebody set up us the bomb...

---OFF TOPIC---
He (and another guy) flamed everything and everyone. They started new threads everywhere with BS in it... etc...

I do agree, the forums are currently in a bad state - the worst ever.

Patchou knows about this and is planning to make some changes around here..

But stay tuned.

* fluffy_lobster can hardly contain his excitement



Hmm seriously though I wish it would happen, the tension is killing me

* bach_m agrees

aside from the 2 jerks(an isolated incident, been dealt with), these forums are rather spammy. entire threads on ridiculous topics, ppl making wierd and stupid posts, and REPEATED ppl coming with the same problems not using hte search function! its ridiculous!

* bach_m cant wait for the changes.
i like change
