im doing this here so as not to single anyone out, so i dont wanna hear anyone complain.

>>the post whoring needs to STOP. >>

the ones who are doing it know who you are.

if it dont stop, we will start warning and banning people if thats what it takes.

think of this as a "friendly warning".

>



post whoring? sorry i dont know what that means

basically people are just posting random posts in peoples threads that has nothing to do with the thread or very little to do with it. it can be very annoying and doesn't help anyone. they are just wanting to build their post count.

post whoring is to post on message boards for the sake of posting, to post useless things to raise your post count. To quote coomers examples "Im with stupid" or "Page 2 owned". As well as a just smiley post.

>

it basicly means posting just for the sake of posting, without any rhyme or reason about it.
cluttering up threads started by people with legitimate problems, or things to disscuss, with usless banter that is not on topic or helpfull in anyway.

>


What does raising your post count do? Not being rude, I am just curious is there a benefit to have more post than others.

Thanks

raising your post counts mean you get more blue bars under your avatar.

there pressure ya happy?

>


Oh I did not know that!! Thanks

>
"post count" means nothing.

and no hongkong, i am not happy, you have been warned.
you happy?

Some forums allow you to access certain threads only if u have the required amount of posts. I am in an MMA forum and if you want to sell something you must have at least 50 posts. and you must have 20 post to play the games they have haha. but on 6gc.net post counts doesnt mean much

>
we've toyed with that idea before.
thats another disscussion for another thread.

haha i know, sorry it was kinda goin off topic and didnt realize it haha, i was just explaining to entrider what post count means in other forums

God this is going to far,this is a family oriented site,if a post obstructs a topic then yes it should definitely be deleted but when someone wants to voice there opinion a topic and it doesn't affect the topic negatively then wat is the problem???

>

The problem is people making dozens and dozens of useless posts every day, and pointless chatter, and never contributing anything useful to anyone.
This drives away members from here that actually contribute and help people, and reduces the site's credibility.

There's no problem posting a lot, as long it's a useful contribution and don't just post any old crap just for the sake of it.

the main post whoring that i think is in the off topic section but wats the problem with that,ITS OFF TOPIC???its the off topic no one ever askes questions,all the other areas ie exterior,general and watnot,all of those topic questions are answered to the best of everyones knowledge.

>


Note number 4 in particular.

That's how the site is run. Off-Topic just means non 6GC related. NOT post junk.

Stop whining thanks

No im not whining im trying to figure why this site is going downhill so fast..show me some posts that are completely useless...

woo hash


--------------------

thats just the past few days.
there is no need for this crap on the site.
thats just a couple of the types of post that need to just stop, it dont matter if its in off topic, or anywhere else for that matter.

pressure that was ONE topic that was ended,did u read the whole thing,the question wat answered talking in that topic was not hurting anything....wat is the problem if its not disrupting the topic???There are no rules against that

This post has been edited by CelicaST_CALI: Jun 22, 2008 - 3:54 PM

Just drop it.

There are dozens of your stupid posts that have been deleted. I have deleted the same 'woo hash' post about 5 times, do you think we have nothing better to do?

If you don't like the way things are done here, you know what to do

im done..

>


Id like to report a thread that clearly violates this rule...

It seems shogun is always at the helm of almost all 6gc.nets fights,dont insult manphibian(luke) he is a hell of a moderator,moderation im sure is not easy to make choices of wat threads to close and which to clean.Yea i do agree that close was a little premature but it ws gonna end up with someone saying somthing mean to another person..Shogun no one is holding a gun to ur head and tell you to stay on this site...i think u need to just cool down..i want manny in on this...


i think YOU just need to cool down..No one is holding a gun to your head and tell YOU to stay on this site. Right?

>
agreed. closed.

Guys, this is not a pissing contest of he did, she did, he posted this that etc. The fact is that we have seen an influx of useless postings here recently. You may not see all of them because we're doing our best to delete them. That said, we're simply asking you to think before you post and ask yourself this question: Will my post contribute positively to this thread and be useful information to whomever reading?

Its really that simple. Now please think about this maturely and move on.

3 mods so far have posted in here...I'd take thier advice and not post useless stuff in the threads.

I dont know where I would be without my 5 years of post wh*ring here!

:-)

I've been a member here for 3 years. Ill tell you from experience that as you stay with this site, and thumb through threads and try and learn/gain knowledge, and in doing so have to attempt to filter out 4 pages of "wicked sick" or whatever other clutter occurs, it does get rather agrrivating. Grant it, its a free country and a public site, but I know I have personally complained the last 3 to 4 weeks about the increase in random posts that have occured in both, OT, and other forums.

its just more annoying then anything else.

>
I'll admit, i deff have a hand in this, but in my defense, I do alot of positive posting. Even if it's explaining how F/S sections work to newer members, It's generally helpful none the less.
And other times, it is pretty useless garbage. I'll take my "Warning" in stride and take steps to fix this.

>
"Woo-Hash" comment originated from me, It wasn't intended to catch on as the next biggest catch phrase like "Tight" or "Whats-up" ect. I do apologize for that.
Although, i'm not on anyone's side, I'm on the side of 6gc.net & Myself . HOWEVER:
>

Just callin what I see.
(although this excert can be quoted and tacked onto #4 as well )
>
Agreed.

That's why i'm apologizing for what negative things i've contributed. (Woo-Hash ) It was not meant to become a new catch-phrase



As for everyone who's not a Moderator and just making Random Arguments:
>
So will everyone cut out the whining and crying already?

You have a problem with a Mod; Take it to another mod, or Coomer. Explain your case, and that is ALL THAT YOU CAN DO.
Starting arguments in threads is pointless and achieves nothing. Especially when you're arguing Mod's.
TRUST ME I WOULD KNOW!! (I think pressure would agree with me on that BTW No hard feelings? )

Lets just all take a chill... N/M (i dont want that one catching on )

Lets all just chill and get back to what matters most. The 6th Gen Celica. We' all have alot to learn from each other, So lets not ruin it this way. (Besides, this is a website, Why is everyone so worked up about the Intra-webs? )

>

Sorry, but that's kinda sucky. By that argument, the entire Off Topic section violates the rule. The thread above was in the right section, and from what I saw, each and every post was made to contribute to the original intent of the thread, without any useless or superfluous "tight" "sweet" "Yo JDM blah blah blah" comments in between. I understand your point, but I think you jumped the gun in that case. Just my opinion.
