Clearly, the forum is in need of some... heh...mediators.
I think what everyone needs to do is read my update to the idea of CHAT on these forums, that should alleviate a good amount of the questions people have. Any questions that are not alleviated can be PMed to myself or Jeff or Tofu or any Moderator. But here is the short and skinny of it all:
If you aren't adding to the discussion, don't post it.
If it has no intellectual, or carrying value (meaning it doesn't increase the value of the discussion) don't post it.
WHY?
Because thats how it STARTS, a few silly trollicious or obnoxious posts lead others to believe that posting in that manner is okay, and they thread becomes a series of "wut"'s and "no srsly"'s and "adjgjhedqdfksjdjjfffffff"'s that destroy the original puropse of the thread. Similarly, posting a one or two word thread that is for the singular purpose of having other people make spammy sammy posts... is not kosher either. It fills the top of the thread list with garbage. And thats not cool either.
- IF YOU WANT A PLACE TO CHAT GET YAHOO OR SOMETHING -
This is an idea I cannot believe anyone hasn't thought of yet. If you want a place free from Kumoricon appointed Mods, go make an unofficial K-con or friends of the cloudy convention chatroom and you can chat all you want there, and since it's unofficial, we have NO authority to stop you from chatting it up to your hearts content. It's just that easy, make a chat, and when you know people are online, you can hang out there!
If you want to create a group for your friend group similar to the Spoon Castle, let me know... I think this is the simpliest answer, instead of a million little threads disambiguated into chaos, why not find a way to make one grouping for this friend group, build up a following and have some fun? PM me and tell me what you want to do any I can make sure your group is solidified so you can enjoy yourself whilst not spamming the OTC.
Does this make sense? is it easier to understand? Please don't be upset with Jeff or Tofu or any mods... it's not about what we did or what you did, it's about the rules, and upholding them. Chaos breeds more chaos, and if we don't hold up the rules now, when you need them to be held up in your favor... what kind of power do we have then?
