funny i was just about to start a thread on this

I proved the double standard by creating a marky mark thread knockoff which was promptly closed. It was just as valid as a thread. I created it to prove the double standard we're talking about.....Like a charm it was proven!

Can't you mods get Marky Mark under control? Not only does he spam, he's a pretty nasty troll.......Or are you going to let him whip you into line some more

*crack* Oh there he is now Ming, he's calling you to fetch his slippers! Fetch!
*crack* MTG hurry! Marky Mark needs his rubber ducky for his bubble bath! Fetch!

[Ming]

All you proved is that the owners can do as they want. And frankly, I have no problem with that.

Now... where the heck did Markos put those slippers

Wëll...wë älsö hävë thät wëïrd Fïnnïsh thrëäd...

I remember a phase where we had threads in all kinds of different languages...like Dutch and German...so this is not much different...only that I now have weird characters on my screen...and Taurus' thread has now brought more weird characters on my screen...

[Ming]

Yeah... we do go through phases on this type of thread. Originally, we weren't going to allow threads in other Languages, because we couldn't know what people were posting... But then we decided to allow them (unless there are too many of them, and it's starting to get to that point) If somebody is being bad, usually, somebody complains... plus, we do have that translator program (which usually delivers some really funny stuff)

[drake]

yeah but Ming, that is a virtual "club" sort of thread...

so why not threads just for americans or british, or while we're segregating, jews and christians?

I don't have a problem with club threads really, but they've always been frowned upon in the past.......so does this mean they're ok now?

Sure it's the same, so don't day it isnt!

I think he left the slippers in his play room right next to the gimp outift.

We must recogonize the fact that many people don't speak English as their first language. While this site is in English, we have posters from all over the world. Just trying to be nice.

However, as with anything... if it gets out of hand, we will shut them down... nothing new.

drake - "marky mark" was careful to say that non-greek posters could post, and non-greek posts could be made IIRC.

[drake]

Meaning what Orange? Free for all spamming for everyone?

How can one make a conversation about jibberish? Impossible.

My thread was the same exact thing and was closed

Just I don't have two lap dogs backing me up

[orange]

exactly.

Double standard.

[drake]

Mings already acknowledged it and so has mtg basically.....

So now that we know it, what can we do about it besides b*tch and moan?????

Just follow the example of our co-admin and spam all over the place! That and create pointless troll threads

works for me If daddy smokes, he can't possibly yell at us for doing it

Drake's thread was a copycat parody of Marks. There was no problem with the Finnish language threat either.

The only reason Drake's thread got close was it was a copycat thread.

Personally, I don't really give a **** about OT spam, unless it's real blatant 100%. Drake's thread was. I thought it was funny, but hey, it's still 100% spam.

[Chris 62]

Mark owns the site, he can post what he likes.

You can too, but if he doesn't like it, it gets wacked.

I can't read it either (I can barely speak it, let alone read it! ).

Still don't think it's that big a deal.

Ming closed one thread that wasn't spam, allowed me to reopen it a bit different and it got over a hundred serious replies. Mark G closed a thread just the other day which celebrated hitting back, and it was unique and felt soo good to make after what happened. Closed as spam. Tonight a thread closed by Ming which dealt with a very common sense approach to racial profiling i heard on the radio and wanted to get opinions on. Because it was put in a humorous manner it was shut as spam.

Spam is getting some breaks perhaps, it's non spam that gets the axe.

Ticks me off more than a little, though I've made light of it elsewhere.
