ricco67 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You should provide something in addition to support your reason.Instead of "No" use "No, because. . . " That's being effective, the other way is not constructive, and rather lazy. It does not provide any support for the reason you took a stance on. You still get a stray response every so often. Nothing is perfect, but for the most part HAIFer are high quality. Yep. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You still get a stray response every so often. Nothing is perfect, but for the most part HAIFer are high quality. So what's the problem? You want to eliminate stray responses? It's ludicrous to start lecturing others about their actions when you do the same. You complain about people's post counts, yet started a thread that documented who has the highest post count. You seem to the the only one that cares.

You seem to the the only one that cares. Actually I did no start the thread, I merely participated in the existing topic. If the topic is about post counts then so be it. I was on topic. I think you missed the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BryanS Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Isn't that called "the tyranny of the masses?"Yes.And I am sorry, but I cannot add any more to this simple one-word response... Sometimes less is more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think you missed the point. If I may be blunt, most of the people responding to this thread do not feel the need to censor others' posts...even short ones...because they do not find them to be a problem on this particular forum. You, on the other hand, have a history of wanting to control the posting of others through various complaints or suggestions. There currently are ways to ignore chronic abusers of the forum, or to ignore those who offend you. The forum is not in need (at this time) of additional forms of censorship, which you might define as "cleaning up". Certain topics lend themselves to short responses or attempts at humor. Some don't. Post counts are passe these days (except perhaps to you). Again, being blunt, just because you may not like it, doesn't mean it's bad. Frankly, I find the proliferation of "stupid topics" far worse than the posts contained within the thread itself. Imagine what censoring out entire threads based on some arbitrary rule would do to the forum. Precisely because of its brevity, I would think that one word responses would be considered a small annoyance. Censorship, on the other hand, will kill the forum.

Censorship, on the other hand, will kill the forum.If anyone sees or posts a response that offensive, it will likely get removed by a moderator. I am not offended by anyone on here because I realize there is a difference between how people act in real life and how people act in forums.Everything else you have mentioned are relating to topics that are suitable for a topical discussion. I want people to take a stance and debate, I encourage and look forward to those kind of responses.My initial post is not for censorship, it's to collectively minimize fluff and silly replies that are not relevant. Again, you too missed the point as it is not permanent change, only a alternative option to those that want to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what generally leads to censorship or cleaning up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Timmy Chan's Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yes. LOLZ @ memebag :doh: On second thought, maybe this censorship thing isn't such a bad idea. If it helps get rid of all the idiots and morons around here, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
