Useless Postings

Yes - I know I've been accused of posting some pretty useless things myself [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img] but the recent "shotgun" postings in the OTHER forum are getting out of hand. Surely there is a limit as to how many postings by any one member can be tolerated.

Re: Useless Postings

That has been a continuing problem in the "Other" forum long before that guy came around. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

Re: Useless Postings

It all starts with Bundo. On 2/9 he had 62 posts. Incredible. You would think that a person would have to go to the bathroom at some point.

There was quite the shotgun approach in the other forum last night. At least it was in good taste and wasn't risque (seems to me he followed the rules, maybe had 1 too many mtn. dews?)

Re: Useless Postings

It's important to keep that all important "post count" growing, right? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: Useless Postings

I'll think their doing their job when they apply the same lock to some other useless posts.

Re: Useless Postings

It's good that they locked all those posts, they were about as usefull as all the other posts.

Why the big deal? The kid had some good threads, what's the logic on locking those threads, they weren't harmful to anyone, nor did they break any rules.

Re: Useless Postings

So all those locks are due to the Poster and not the subject... Good to know. I was wondering why they were locked ...

Re: Useless Postings


Diezel_Cowboy said he did it to make a point. So its not like he just felt extremely chatty and his fingers got carried away.
Now its the administrators turn to make a point.

I don't care much for the post counter thingie. I'd reset mine if I could. I'll just get a new ID every two years or so [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bleh.gif[/img]

Re: Useless Postings


Why don't we just do away with the post counter? The one reason I see for not doing away with the counter would be to assist in identifying trolls so how about the maximum a post would read would say something like &gt;100, any comments?

Re: Useless Postings

So after join on Jan 26 you figured the site needed to learn a lesson? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] That's funny as hell.

Or is it that you have all ready been banned before?

what exactly was your point? Please spell it out for us that are a little slow on the uptake.
