        I think the forum with the biggest spam-to-useful-content ratio is not the OT, but the Community forum. And before anyone complains, yes, this post is spam too. Metaspam, to be exact.

          Ahh.

          I see both my thread, and the religion thread magically disappeared.

          Well done mods.

            There always is and always will be tons of spam in the OT.
            I see a bunch of it every day in the OT... and when it starts getting out of hand, the mods act.

            The thing you have to remember is that this is a games forum. The OT was set up as a place for political, religious, sports, lifesytle, music... and many other topics that were disrupting the games discussions in the on topic forums.
            It serves that purpose nicely, giving people a chance to talk about other things not game related. It was not meant as a place to spam... or a place to just post meaningless things.
            That type of stuff gets in the way of having real discussions.
            When it gets out of hand, people whine even louder about how they can't find threads that have been pushed to page two because of all the silly and spammy threads.

            Yeah... the posts don't count. The owners of this site feel that only game related posts should count toward your total since it is "gaming site"... they allow the OT to keep those important on topic gaming discussions free from non relevent posts... They have provided the OT as a favor/service to the members.

            But just because they have an OT doesn't mean that they condone meaningless and silly posting. It is still meant for "discussions"...

            There are many other forums where people can go to post pretty much whatever they want. I know when I feel like getting silly and spammy, their are places that I can go that welcome stuff like that, and it's a part of the sites culture.
            Here... it's not. That's the way the owners want it. And since it is a private site... they get to make the rules.

            Apolyton is a leading gaming site... and that's it purpose. If you really are looking for a site for other reasons than gaming... there is nothing stopping you from going out and finding such a site.
            Well put. I withdraw my previous (and incorrect) comments.

              Not incorrect at all. Just your opinion... one shared by others as well. Like most things in life, people have different opinions. In this case, it's the opinions of the owners that matter the most. It doesn't make one either right or wrong.
              It's their site... so their rules

                Why are threads deleted btw and not just closed ?

                I personally find it very annoying.(especially since sometimes threads do disappear for a while, and yes, I am sober )

                  Depends on the mod... we all have different styles. I'm the one that does most of the deleting. It is my opinion that just closing some threads leaves them there as monuments to the jerk(s) involved in creating or destroying the threads. So instead of giving people the last laugh of having a closed thread stand as a monument to their rules breaking... I just remove all trace of it. Why should they get the satisfaction of seeing the thread still there for all to read. This is done mostly to pure spam/stupid/silly threads... threads that are totally offensive... and mod baiting threads.

                    You must have missed the thread that described you and Rah as separated (previously conjoined) transgender transvestites then. It was active for quite a while. I seem to remember Kenobi posting a lot in it.

                        Calling us names or describing us is not necessarily mod baiting. Most regulars will attest to this. I've been a manager for over 20 years, so I highly doubt I will be called something that I haven't already heard before.

                        Walking the gray line or just outright breaking the rules with the intent to just attract our attention or force us to act, now that is mod baiting.
                        It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                          * reads Rah's last post.



                          It's going to get down to mod baiting soon. The OT forum has been like a frigging morgue for the last week or so. WTH is going on? I even saw Slowwhand be nice to Sava.
