[X] My Assistant

It's been a while since we've had a 'Beryl is really irked and needs to vent' thread, and the old Spamhaus sticky has run it's course.

In lieu of a full blown STOP BEING FUCKING RETARDED post, I'm just going to leave this here.

EXCERPT FROM FORUM RULES:

Necro-Posting - Do not post in old topics that have run their course and dropped off the first couple of pages. Most of those conversations are done and over with, and bringing them back to life is meaningless.

Useless Posts - Do not post messages in the forum that contribute nothing to the conversation. It's considered to be highly annoying to do so, so unless you have something to say, don't.

It's nice to see you getting into the Christmas spirit so early this year. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

You have more chances to convince the wall to stop standing than to convince chinese bots to stop posting. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

At least you're entertaining when you let yourself vent. You should have properly vented here, the quote is just boring.

We need one of these.

I can give you a long list of people who need to see it.

I wish you luck in enforcing the 2nd one in repost/nigh-literal copypasta threads.

I expect 0.1% of the people you want reading this to actually read it. I fully sympathize though.

Tried that. No luck.

I gave up on that so hard after spamhaus was introduced.


It's more like, in threads that aren't already absolute trash, please don't add trash to them.

Add a highlighted note that you get EXP bonus in HV by POSTING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL ONCE PER DAY FOR 20 DAYS, NOT GODDAMN SPAMMING 20 POST IN A NIGHT. That is just annoying and stupid.

Perhaps you should only get the 5% bonus (or whatever it is) for your first ten posts and then start losing it for every subsequent post.

Incur an XP penalty for posting too much? I love this idea.

Agree with the idea, I mean many people post meaningless thread because of the EXP bonus.
If the effect can last for days, I believe the "SPAM" situation be eventually starts to improve. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The majority of things on these days seem to exist merely to allow one to inflate thy post count for 'status' entertainment. This being said I have also seen what can happen in the reverse with the boards being dead for weeks and nothing relatively new happening.

My honest opinion at this juncture would see nothing short of a forum-agedon-pocalypse to change the current culture.

Well, the first one makes sense, since a long period without posts signifies that there's not much of an interest in the topic anymore. Of course, there are still people who will practice Thread Necromancy, even if it's been banned by the Mages Guild.

The second one also makes sense, as contributing to the discussion is important in a community based site. Afterall, the context of a given thread is usually defined along certain parameters, unless English gives you wiggle room.

But I'm pretty sure that unless things were changed, your post number has an effect on your Karma Imbue Power. A small effect, but an effect nevertheless. Of course, I'm not sure how many users are actually aware of that.

We should make a special sticky called: "Place to post if you want to get that 5% EXP bonus thread:
