netmasta Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 Mabey there could be a whole seperate forum for non computer related posts. You could have it on it's own page to keep the site on topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 I think that would be a good idea. Don't know how much work it would be for CA3LE though. Maybe there is not enough of us playing the games to warrent it. I like this site because of the diversity it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 I think they should have left it like it was.Then contacted the offenders that were posting just to change their stats directly and told them to stop.One on one. The way it was handled was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it was handled was an over reaction that punished everyone. I would vote no to a seperate forum.Interesting I'm on 666 posts today. What Cholla said, and congrats on the 666..... maybe...... this might not count though......... :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 cak46: I just mentioned the 666 kind of a evil number for a flaming day .Right after Friday the 13th too netmasta :I don't understand how not having the movie thread would be leaving it like it was.For example like it was Thursday before all the moving stuff got started.And contact the offenders directly.

cak46 Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 That is a double whammy.... It would be good to contact one on one instead of chastising within the threads..... It just provokes some people to react badly, making the situation worse.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 cak46: Yeah I'm glad to get it off that #.I meant like a PM from CA3LE telling them to stop or else.Then they could feel prevoked if they felt like it but it wouldn't do them much good.I know thats why there are mods but the over posting for stats was not the normal mod handled problem.I think if CA3LE had told the ones doing it to stop that would have been the end of it.Of course hindsight is 20/20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 True. I guess I don't understand, this being the first forum I've gotten involved with, why the number of posts a person has is such an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 cak46 : I really wasn't concerned with the number I just saw it had been 666 .For my part they could remove it & not use it anymore like they did karma.Maybe put the date joined instead to give other members an idea if a member was a newbi or not.Thats probably to simple though.

cholla Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 cak46 : They used to have karma below your number of posts.You were awarded a certain amount I think for posting something useful.Its been gone for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted May 14, 2005 Author CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 Actually, that sounds like a better idea! What was this Karma thing you mentioned? no, no, no... We are not having the karma thing again. All it did was cause trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cak46 Posted May 14, 2005 CID Share Posted May 14, 2005 no, no, no... We are not having the karma thing again. All it did was cause trouble. I agreed with cholla that not having the post number at all was a good idea, maybe just the date of joining. The Karma thing does not sound like a good idea. BTW, I agree with your scrolling marquee.
