Amen to that sister!

Nearly three years for you... dang, time sure does fly, I remember when you were nothing more than a staff newb with Polo.

I'm sure I've done some of thos things before... hopefully it didn't cause too much twoble for y'all. :blush:

But this is a helpful little refrence on these things... I'll remember to check back here and point people here when I need to. ^^;

Ah yes, the differentiation of spam: few know what that means. There's so much that's spam, yet few figure out how to tell the difference; of course, the fact that there are different levels, varying from partial to complete spam posts, and even different types of spam. Alas, it's all spam.

Maybe you should add some/all of this to that one topic in BBC, but then again, would anybody read it?

That reminds me of one particular report from COT, which I liked so much, I saved it for posterity: "Complaining about spam is still considered spam, unless its done by the mods..."

Hey, now... I was staff before him: he was ST neophyte (with Tomiam) after I was. In fact, I think they might've been the ones to take the title from me. For that, of course, I am grateful.

I've actually been contemplating a/some new post(s) to the BBC Rules topic; haven't gotten those puffins in a row, though. I really should. Maybe get some links together, some more stuff like this... Yeah. Gotta keep the ol' Empire at its best, yanno?

Mayhaps you could do what you yourself suggested not do to make them see how annoying it is?

But that would just cause people to say 'Now Tufi, you're a GLobal Moderator! You should know better' so perhaps it would not be for the best. But oh it tears me up to know that even on the internet on sites such as this and a few other sites I won't mention I still find childishness and immaturity. I can deal with it to a certain extent, I mean in private conversations but like, out in public or in a public forum you just don't do that

Essentially I'm saying: Don't make yourself look idiotic to the public, for the eyes of the public are those that rate you, and in life your rating is all that matters.

And that's just a few of them. Onuki's got a complete catalogue, but here's a few others: gratitude spam (Thanks for posting, keep 'em coming!), celebration spam (Yay, page three! ), confusion spam (Huh? What? I don't get it. )...

Instructions spam is on the rise as well: "Nice! Instructions please! "

Or one of the recently popular types of spam in Comedies: PM spam. "I PMed you."

Sometimes you can feel that the rules should just be reduced to "Don't post," but that'd just defeat the purpose of the board, of course.

*shudders*

Somebody needs to bake Tufi a cake for posting this.

With special toppings of her choice.

Ahhh, my bad. You became staff 11 days before Polo.

I agree with the guy who stole my colours, if only because spite is dealt out. And spite is the best way to deal with all problems.

Thus '... but would I? No.' It's easy to take the immature route, sure, but it's so much better to take that effort and use it to explicitly teach people instead.

Pocky cake. You're baking me a Pocky cake, since you brought it up.

There you go. You may now continue to live.

Clearly, if they needed two more ST so soon after a promotion, someone wasn't doing quite as well as they expected.

The last bit made me laugh.

"Besides, you wouldn't stand a chance with her anyways- you best just move on from that. "

Don't think I have any hesitations about editing your sig. And eleven days isn't quite enough time to make such a decision, hn?

And yes, that little bit... Well, it's true: they're just pieces of plastic/markings on paper/bits and bytes. Not exactly something with which such a relationship can be formed, yanno.

Don't forget the off-topic spam. I mean, it isn't really the best thing for one to post all about French in a topic about the Matoran language. It can be compared to French, but I see no relevance in posting all about French. Just reminding you about that, since it seems you left it out.

And thank you so much, for posting this.

Actually, I've missed a fair few things that I could just go on and on about in this post, such as posting just to point out a topic's been revived, that it should be somewhere else, or chastizing another member for doing something against the rules... Well, that's what next time's for, I guess.

And Than... true, very true. Still, don't give 'em an excuse. I write all that up for nothing?

Aw, man, do you know how many people's Roody dreams you just shattered?

What's really weird is when people post a legit reply in the wrong topic. Myself, I've never had enough windows open and on BZ to have that happen, but it's disorienting to see a post that's obviously replying to something else but you don't know what it's replying to... O_o

Wow, three year staffie. That's longer than I've been on BZ. Freakeh. Props for putting up with us all for three years, and cheers for another three! XD

--\\_yg

Wow. Nice. Someone's needed to write this up for a loooooong time. *Insert 2001 Intro Music*

Sheesh, I've had enough of just generic comments in my topics. I would rather have two good comments in each art topic of mine by two respected artists and have it die right there, rather than to have eight posts saying "LOL! 8/10!" and keep it on the front page for a whole two hours.

Oh, I also really dislike the number ratings too, because nobody breaks it down, and specifically gives you the reason they give you a "8/10". It's not like a teacher is going to give you an 80% after saying just "nice job!'.

Excuse my ranting, but I must say, I agree with you 100%.

Well, I just got done reading this, and I think I should stop posting that I'm reporting when I do report

(Which I have done numerious times), and I will fulfill my duty on BZPower, and, as every member does,

hope o be moved to a position where I can just delete, fix, or whatever needs to be done to a spam, leet, or flame post.
