What To Do With Flooding/Spammers?

[snifferdog]

Any forum is only as good as the quality and quantity of people who post on it, unfortunately. It's a pity more people don't post here now.

I remember that time when I was rude to boo, though unintentionally

- that time I did deserve my punishment, I guess.

1. Not lying. That's a reference to Pinocchio there, but I'm not lying.
I remember, the points of that post were to make:
A) a Shane Dawson reference (his character Shanaynay in particular)
B) one of my "oh so shocking"/"Master Of confusion"/whatever post. It was only later that I realized how dirty the post was and the shock it had caused was different, to say the least. Please remind me, have I actually apologized to you? If not, I should have and I'm doing it right now. And I can only try to assure you that I'm not that kind of person that makes such comments or actually does what it said in that comment. After all the support I have showed to many people on many occasions one could have actually guessed I'm rather different.

2. Scrap the "I guess" thing.

looking at some of the threads like what are you thinking, what are you listening to etc. I sort of view them as egotistical threads where people really just post about themselves. Very little discussion goes on in them and people who just log on and post in all those threads and then log off aren't really offering much.

[ddebil]

Oh, apologies if our respective egotistical posts offend you. I for one will refrain from doing so in the future.























Will I fook!

not much activity from the brothers Floyd at the moment

theyve just put out 5 cd's of previously unreleased material
!!!five ceedees worth!!!
how much more activity does a Floyd fan need before they will contribute something on-topic?

Interestingly, the discussions really did come to a stop recently. What more can be said...time for fun and games forum I guess?

On topic: Just stick with the 3 warnings, then three month ban.

Something NEW would be nice.

Just sayin'.

Not MY fault this time.

I've barely been here...and when I HAVE been, I have been diligently conforming to the wishes of all of the collectivist morons who petulantly and childishly demand that I stop posting stuff that makes their little pea brains sprain themselves even trying to read, much less process.

Consequently, since my self-imposed month-long sabbatical a couple of years ago, the quality AND quantity of posts to this forum have gone down. *shrug*

Guess the fuckwads got what they wanted, eh?

It appears that even some of the "collectivist morons" have quit posting here. It is a shame, too, because at least they kept the forum more lively and interesting.

I joined this forum around the time of its peak- Live 8 and the year or so following. Some of the classic members who made the place what it once was do not post here any longer.

Some things never change though. my breakfast is still complaining and posting about his hatred for life and everything in it. I'm glad I'm past that stage and have found a more positive state of mind- though I suppose I'd probably be posting here a lot more if I hadn't.

Well however I come across on this forum, I'll miss you the most not posting here for not being able to look at your avatar.

[Keith Jordan]

There are more "unique" people visiting the forum now than at any time before but there are half as many posts per month. I wonder how we could convert these browsing people into posting people?

Visitors are up but....

You pretentious little twat. You think I'm like this in real life?

I'm not the only one who uses this forum as a bit of a blog.

[moom]

Posting's down? Time to revive moom the spammer

But seriously, in order to get people discussing, give them something to discuss; while the forum does not exactly lack topics, there is rarely news from Floyds that would keep people interested
Other than that, old news have already been discussed quite a lot.

[Keith Jordan]

That is why I started the Pink Floyd history discussions to try and stimulate debate but not many topics are created. It would seem people can't be bothered these days.

[moom]

Yes, but those have been created quite a long time ago. I mean, have they been created before the downfall of posting?
