Sounds like you are scaring the customers away.

Maybe we should only allow those people that have purchased BP to vote?

You are also being unfair now.

Hold on a second, I need to review the Moderator Guidelines for this ‘fair’ you speak of.

Srtop it, nerd. You’re only feeding the troll.

Cid, you’re trolling again. You know damn well there’s a differnce. Then again, maybe you don’t get it. If you really can’t tell when something is harmful to the community, then maybe you don’t need to moderate anymore.

There’s a shred of truth in that last comment, in specific regards to TNOP.

But I still haven’t seen how Chelmley’s posts (or even Fie & Bandaney’s recent parodies) are harmful to the community. Annoying, yes? But harmful? In all honesty, please, explain how it’s harmful.

And most people can offer supporting reasons why they believe something is “better” or “worse”. I’m genuinely curious to hear these supporting reasons.

Why they ARE harmful:

1. Spam & Discouragement: It’s just Spam in mbumes, it’s discouraging people from participating in the RP forum & scaring away new people (if there are any).

To back my arguments up, just look at the comments Fran made about Inspector’s posts the other day.

2. Quality vs. Quantity: It’s Hiding more useful and/or good/higher quality threads, which will -in return- have to be dug up again.

3. Annoyance: Constantly seeing new threads opened by the same person with mostly just one line of description is just, well, annoying. I believe that the majority will agree with me on this one.

Even if it’s a RP forum, there should be a line… and i believe that Inspector has crossed it pretty clearly

Edit: Fortunato made a really good point which i forgot to include, posting this just to underline his post:

4. Contribution: We’re a Community, a part of being a Community is to partake in a certain amount of Contribution from and in the Community.

What use are 30 threads created by one User if no one wants go through and read any of them (of which the majority -if not all- are pointless and useless), which is due to the fact that there are just too many threads of one said person and that the quality of the posts is as bad as they can be.

In my eyes Inspector just doesn’t really add anything meaningful and/or useful to the Community and is (to my theory) acting out of self-interest to get Attention (which he certainly did receive).

This can be comparable to a parasite sucking out a perfectly healthy creature, turning it into a mindless zombie. (In which Inspector is the Parasite)

It’s called an open-ended question, intended to get actual points of discussion. Both thew00 & Fortunato have given good solid reasons to be considered. If you want to register a complaint, then be prepared to provide supporting reasons beyond “I just don’t like it.” That’s more likely to get a valid response.

excuse me?

Was I thinking of someone else? If so, my apologies.

I would explain but you wouldn’t understand.
