Evilmax - i thank you for bringing up things that bother you, im a firm believer is questioning peoples actions, and i hate you for making me write such a long reply :lol:
[quote name='evilmax17']Would you like your tiara, Queen of Drama?[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry but i dont see how im the queen of drama, other than being male, i dont believe i create much drama here, i cant dispute the "of" part though, youve got me there.
[quote name='evilmax17']So ~3 people mention Lina every once in awhile. Who cares? [/QUOTE]
i agree that the problem is the fixation of a very small number of users, but most of these users post quite often, and bring this topic up way more than "once in a while" and i care. i care because i (and the other mods) have to deal with it.
[quote name='evilmax17']Do you know how many times I've seen people say the exact same thing over and over? Do we need an official thread for William Macy to pretend that he's William Macy (it'd be way more entertaining than this thread)? Do we need a JSweeney thread where he just quotes everybody and misinterprets their posts? Or how about a FriskyTanuki thread, where he talks about everybody he ignores.[/QUOTE]while i find your point here rather petty, none of those occurances really cause the problem this has, and they never even last long at all. do we need an offical evil max thread for you to bitch about everything? because that happens way more than the 3 examples you gave.
[quote name='evilmax17']All of these topics/posts come up once every two weeks or so, and they're going to keep happening. It's not enough to throw the balance of the board out of whack, so let them post whatever they want.[/QUOTE]
so your solution to this problem, rather than concentrating the crap into a single thread, is to sprinkle small amounts of crap throughout the fourm?
[quote name='evilmax17']Threads like this however, are just stoking the flames. To put it simply: No good will come of this. At all. Ever. Bad move.[/QUOTE]
time will tell, as far as im concerned good has come from it already, the post your pic thread is back on topic, and any future similar occurances will have the same fate of just being dumped in here..
[quote name='evilmax17']Yeah, that really worked for the OTT right? They keep posting, we keep laughing and rolling our eyes, but they keep on going. Lina's right, they're just going to keep talking about it, and once again I ask you who cares if they mention it here or there? I don't want to see 500 posts after 500 posts being made in this lame useless topic. We already have one OTT, isn't that enough?[/QUOTE]
i dont think i get your OTT reference here; lina may very well be right, they might talk about her forever, and dont you think they should have a designated place to do so since they arnt going to not talk about her? and as previously mentioned, i care. this isnt an ott, this has a topic, i dont follow you there either.
[quote name='evilmax17']No, this shit didn't need to get out in the open, again. It's been out in the open, more times than I could count, in multiple threads specifically dedicated for this very purpose. And you're telling me that we needed another one?
Another go around the horn? Because ~3 people mention it once every few thousand posts in an OTT?[/QUOTE]
yes, lets all repress our problems rather than get them out...
there have been no threads like this, there have been topics with linas name in the title, but thats about it. i dont understand your dislike for this topic, it seems it stems from youre sick of hearing about this crap, and trust me, i am too. if it ended today, id be thrilled.
[quote name='evilmax17']At the end of the day, it might be pertenant to examine the positives that have come out of this thread.
...yeah, I dunno either.[/QUOTE]
i dont think a day is a fair timeframe for such a drug out topic, but i agree this should be looked back on eventully, and it might turn out to be a horrible idea, or a fantastic one, its hard to say at the moment, and if it turns out doing more harm than good ill claim full responsibility for that.
[quote name='evilmax17']The negatives? Over 200 posts in one night, mostly consisting of petty bitching and ban-threats. And you know what? That wouldn't have happened if you hadn't made this lame ass thread (you really could've just called it "The Official incite an unneccesary flame war thread", and it would've been just as accurate).[/QUOTE]
so the amount of posts this thread has earned bothers you? the wrestling thread consists of posts that would not have existed had the thread not been created, i dont follow you here at all. without the topic being addressed obviously people would not post at the volume of the topic being addressed, the fact that its had a good number of posts only shows that its what at least what part of the community wants, or realizes is nessecary
[quote name='evilmax17']So nice job, you really accomplished a lot with this one. And it's sticky to boot! Now everybody can join in, and we can bring CAG down to where everybody seemingly wants it to go (I wonder if we'll start hosting FAQs too?). And you wanted the mods to keep this one
open?[/QUOTE]
yes i feel this thread is important, so i respectfully asked the mods as my peers to leave it open, no clue who stickied it, thats kinda uncalled for, but whatever, obviously if cheapy wants to lock this, nothing will stop him, but things imo would go back to the way they were. if you dislike the direction cag is heading, i suggest you find another forum, because i dont think longwinded posts bitching about things will garner much
[quote name='evilmax17']Once again, the attitude and nobility of some mods truely amazes me.[/QUOTE]
care to elaborate? :lol: i see no reason not to name names
[quote name='evilmax17']This thread should've never been started, but it was. It should've been locked after a few pages, but it wasn't. Sure as hell it shoudln't have been stickied, but it was. It should be locked now, and lord knows I would if I could.[/QUOTE]
perhaps thats the reason that you cant.
we dont mod by what we like and what we dont like
i cant stand this thread, its a total pile of shit posts, but i feel it has its place at the moment, if you dont, thats fine, it should be easy enough to ignore one thread.
