off topic forum turning into spam forum

[ross]

i bolded the error in your statement. thats misusing the like system. there is a reason joaz wanted it off in the off-topic forum you know.

I've decided to "like" your post in a fit of reverse psychology ... will it piss you off because it's a misuse of the system? Or will you like it because it boosts your own stats, which you appear to care greatly about?

I actually find Magicwand's playing quite instructive. But I think his comments/statements are directed at about my level. At 9k I imagine they would be quite cryptic.

As for likes, I click the like button on posts I really like... if it is meant for something else, it should be called something else. (Like "Teacher points" or something.)

What is your problem? It's so absurdly easy to ignore forum threads that don't interest you. And, judging by
the view count, you are in a minority.

Judging the "original intent", i doubt Joaz cares as much about it as you do.

You almost make me want a dislike button.

a dislike button would be useful. for me at least. a forum i went to a couple years ago had one, but removed it for some silly reason.

xDragon you're being ridiculous. For one, who cares about post count? What's the big deal if Magicwand has 800 or 5800 post counts? It's a trivial number.

i know when i go to a new forum i look for the people who have high post counts and check them out.

Secondly, there is no requirement in the off-topic section for all posts to contribute, it's just a place to talk about things unrelated to Go. And "perhaps a little light-hearted fun"? The whole point is to have fun, you seem to be forgetting this is a game forum.

there is a difference between light hearted fun and spamming.

Thirdly, complain about the "like" feature all you want, but who are you to judge how many likes a person deserves or what posts are undeserving of a like? As far as I'm aware you didn't build the feature, so it's out of your place to decide how it should be used.

until i die i can judge such things. i can also have the opinion that the feature is used incorrectly.

Lastly, I find it oddly humorous that you of all people would complain about contributions when so far all you've been doing is trolling. Keep it up so you can add one more to your bucket of complaints: not being able to access the forum altogether.

classy, threaten me when you disagree with me. i know you like the 4chan stuff but this isnt 4chan.

i work full time and dont have that much time to comment on my game...but if they ask questions i always answer them with my opinion.

and my random comment is exactly what is on my mind during my move... i dont try to pretend knowing everything. maybe some people are intrested in what is in my mind during my move not what i pretend to know..

im sure many people who post moves work full time too. i guess the difference is they dont make 50 moves a day. perhaps if you slowed down a bit.

wow..you must be so bored checking that kind of stats.

actually it took me all of 5 min to get all of that. the gratitudes section is helpful like that.

I've decided to "like" your post in a fit of reverse psychology ... will it piss you off because it's a misuse of the system? Or will you like it because it boosts your own stats, which you appear to care greatly about?

i would prefer you take it back because i do not want to appear as if i take part of something i disagree with

Fortunately there's none of that going on here...

The facts don't change, a post number is nothing but a post number.

No one's spamming.

Ignorance.

classy, threaten me when you disagree with me. i know you like the 4chan stuff but this isnt 4chan.

This is interesting, you bring up so many complaints about this forum I'd say it's a favor rather than a threat not just to you, but for the rest of this community. Also, don't act like you know me.

[xDragon]

i dont understand, youre saying im not thinking impaired?

The facts don't change, a post number is nothing but a post number.

the people with high post counts are also representatives of the forums, and should set a good example.

No one's spamming.

well in the topic i linked i see spamming.

so many complaints = 1-2? seems like more people are posting in this forum than i am.

Sorry, you've now been corrupted and are part of the "clique" (or secret cabal, as I prefer to call it). You are now one of the elite members of L19 and there's no going back, ethical qualms or no ethical qualms. But don't worry, it doesn't take too long to get used to being morally bankrupt.

i guess you didnt notice that i couldnt care less about such things. i post in forums for my own reasons, not to try to fit in. if the admins dont like what i say, well thats their problem.

ive always found it interesting how quickly people run to the troll accusation when someone disagrees with them.

[CarlJung]

araban is an exception because he actualkly contributes a lot, but im sure even then he has more than he should have. i took the liberty of searching other users who have a lot of likes.

HKA - 51 likes and i only see maybe 1 post that deserves likes, out of 13 posts that have likes.

wms - ok there are obvious reasons he gets a lot of likes but still no real contributions to the forum from the posts that have likes

topazg does better but still some posts that arent contributing anything, same with joaz

BAN!

BAN!

Absolutely not. Who would tell us what's right and what's wrong then?
