Does Spamalot have a negative effect on the forum?

[wcaclimbing]

While the thread itself may not be a problem, the majority of the regulars posting there, or those trying to "join" a non-existant clan by posting BS (whether they're encouraged to or not - and face it, a "post count" requirement doesn't exactly attract intellectual posters) are. And before the crybabies start whining and say I'm singling them out, I'll point out I know who gets forum warnings, and the majority of late have been "regulars" in that spamalot thread. If you're still disillusioned to this fact, I'm sure IC or I can dig up some numbers.

Edit, here we go... recent warnins for hijacking threads, and this was AFTER we made it clear with the whole spamalot deletion incident that thread hijacking would NOT be tolerated. Apparently these guys didn't get that first message...

[1] Crayola -- (Warning)

[1] diddle -- (Warning)

[1] DirtyDishSoap -- (Warning)

[1] Iliad -- (Warning)

[1] Skittles! -- (Warning)

[1] unriggable -- (Warning)

[1] Vincent M -- (Warning)

I'll let you guys compare the spamalotters with the list above.

The people in bold are not a part of Spamalot (especially CRAYOLA!).

But did they stop after you warned them?

Geez you know it is funny Wicked

I got a message from AK. I asked him where did I highjack the thread because that day he was referring to I wasn't on any other thread other than Spamalot. I pmed him back asking him why I got a Warning and he never answered back

As much as we enjoy and appreciate your enthusiasm for posting in the forum, please do keep on topic of the thread you are posting in. Hijacking threads, either intentionally or unintentionally, is prohibited in our Forum Guidelines. This is your one warning.

Thank you,
AK_iceman and the Conquer Club Staff

I dont know why I am getting a warning. Please tell me what thread was Hijacked because yesterday I was only in Spamalot ?????????????????
I just want to know so I don't do it again

I wonder are you guys dishing out warnings for nothing Now

PLEASE REPLY

[wicked]

Would you idiots care to READ what I posted again? I never said all those people were all spamalotters, I said that was the list of recent forum warnings, the majority of which were spammlators.

Vincent, you were warned for this thread:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15830

Apologies for not including which thread in the warning.

Wicked I posted on that thread back in Mar 30. Since The Spamalot conflict I have learned my lesson as did AK. I have changed my posting habits.

If you guys are looking back at threads from the beginning of time well then YES you will give out tons of warnings.

I can't beleive you guys are pinning me for something back on Mar 30

Thank you for the reply

Holy shit she is right ???????

She is so right I am on topic disagreeing with it

Hello Wicked do you see that

[willis]

Vincent, you were warned for this thread:
http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15830

Did you also warn Guidocks, Spuzzell, diddle, unriggable, dwightschrute, and riggable for hijacking/derailing that thread?

Hello Wicked do you see that

for me, its more like if you look at all the other game threads, people are like "Shut up, we only love conquerclub"...were they all warned too?

[wicked]

A useless comment that had nothing to do with the thread. His comment and subsequent comments in response to his derailed the thread. So again, keep the off-topic spam crap to your one thread.

[wicked]

Vincent, I didnt' look at the date everyone posted, only that it was a recent thread and your post started it. Doesn't matter when it happened, as you were warned back when spamalot started to keep it to one thread. yes, we expect you to remember.

To clarify, if someone does it once, we're probably not going to warn. It's usually the repeat offenders who get warnings.

he said

Oh my fucking god shut up everyone

i assumed he was talking about people asking about other game sites...which would then be on topic...

also, plenty of people posted links afterwards, so it wasn't derailed either...

are you sure we're talking about the same thread?

Posting basics:

The “l337” poster knows to ask himself/herself 3 basic questions before pressing the all powerful “submit” button:

One: Is my post really necessary or is it just mental diarrhea?
Two: Am I trolling or feeding a troll?
Three: Really?

This last question should be asked at least twice but is often ignored because everyone likes to think that they are saying something ground breaking when in fact “GFYS muthafugging azzhole” and “you suck dick” are in fact not new and the only thing they will break is your reputation.

Where all all of these offenses I Can't beleive this

Look If you guys want to ban me because I am in Spamalot Please get more creative.

I haven't violated any rules. I think you guys want my name up there. Lets get Vincent M up there to prove our point about Spamalot

Look if I got a warning for that then You should start filing lots of warnings for other people

Hey wicked Go back to the Fairylot thing it was more affective besides it was really annoying

[hecter]

That was a bit harsh don't you think?

[wicked]

Is reading comprehension so hard these days?

[s.xkitten]

which part are we all reading incorrectly, oh all knowing mod?

[wcaclimbing]

Them being in spamalot doesnt mean that spamalot is bad.They chose to join spamalot, spamalot didnt make them hijack threads and doesnt support that.

Its like concluding that just because a few guys from Iraq decided to kill people that EVERYONE in Iraq wants to kill people.

And if a few people in an army commit treason, you dont punish the entire army, you just punish the people that did the crime.

Don't hate spamalot because a few of the members spam too much. Nowhere in spamalot does it tell its members to hijack threads. That is the choice of each indavidual and should be taken care of on an indavidual basis, not against the entire Spamalot community.

finally someone with some sense

[wicked]

It wasn't wca. Those members were warned individually.

[wcaclimbing]

Thats what im saying. Warn them indavidually, but DON'T bring this into a discussion about spamalot as a whole.

Indavidual users are NOT a good example of how spamalot has a bad affect on the forum.

[wicked]

wca, when the majority of our current "problem children" come from the thread in question, it's worth bringing up. I've really said all I care to about it, no need to rehash this ad nauseum.
