Spam / General Forum Merge

[Kokojo]

I see it more like :

General : Talk about everyday happening, fears, musics, politics, work, love and everday topic in a normal person life.

Spam : Talk about penis, joke harsly on the deads, vomits flows of insults, play forum games, hop around naked, do pedophile jokes, have a laught.

General is not totally respected, but often is. People don't act like dumpfucks there.

And if you come up with 3-4 screenshots of people BEING idiots in general, well you're just plain stupid.

That's how ideally everyone should see it, but unfortunately the reality is that people use them interchangeably. Like we discussed in chat with Asmo, no one uses "General" like the purpose of General states. Instead, it's used as Spam #2 with Post Count. This is why there's always been a need to move "Spam Topics" to General, and a need to move some "General Topics" to Spam Forum.

This is a topic you posted in Spam Forum. Topic is Here:

^ This is a very serious issue. According to your own argument, a topic like this belongs in General, NOT Spam.

Why did you post it in Spam? Because of the same reason everyone else mis-uses the two forums by their very own definition. Their "differentiation" is un-clear, blurry, and often indistinguishable. They are too similar.

You yourself aren't very clear on what is "Spam" and what is "General". All you know is that it's "Off-Topic". The topic could go on EITHER FORUM, because they are both the same, off-topic forums. Because you are part of the problem I am highlighting with my merging idea, I wouldn't expect you to understand it and/or agree with it.

General is not totally respected, but often is.

Respect doesn't have anything to do with any of this, Kokojo. Their function is identical, regardless of how people "perceive" them.


Actually, my girlfriend was calling me to say goodnight, that's why I said bbl.

Like I said in the "This Hulutube Bullshit" Topic;

Winning an argument is not a criterion that is simply achieved by declaring it.

Indeed, the mere fact that you need to make such a statement seems to suggest that you do not think
that this is self-evident from your argument.

I don't feel like I lost any arguments, I know I have valid points, and I know you feel you haven't disproven any of them successfully because of your hasty claim that I lost.

I don't agree with Zodiac that it's a mindless point. It's just as "mindless" as saying "Introduction Forum serves no good purpose! KILL IT!" which is a suggestion he DID take seriously, the Introductions Forum is gone now.

Merging Spam and General Forums is just as reasonable as Asmo's request to kill Introductions Forum,
and a lot less sudden, mindless and radical, might I add.



Influent on newbs? (Is influent a word in the english language? Did you mean influential?)

What noobs?

I don't see how any newbs have anything to do with any of this.

And if by "influent on newbs" you mean that I supported getting Seraphim (Magitek) banned, then I agree with you, and I am glad I can be "influent on newbs."

[DarthPaul]

Influent is a word it just has a way different meaning.

The word he was looking for was probably influence.

[Archael]

I don't know what word he was looking for, but he picked the wrong one!

[DarthPaul]

Indeed.

[Archael]

Indeed.

Ok man I let it slide last post but this isn't the Spam forum, stop posting for posting sake. This is a serious topic and I am seriously trying to develop this idea. Don't spam in here.

[Goomba]

We could totally merge general, spam and WOTL discussion and nothing would change.



Everyone could just use [serious] [WOTL] or [spam] tags in the topic heading to let people know what kind of party it's going to be.

I like this idea alot. small icons to the left of the topic name to help identify what the posts will pertain to. it would help a bit if we merged them all.

This is the unfortunate truth.

This is a really good idea, helps toward merging the forums.

I Totally agree
We could make a button to press in order to select what kind of topic is, something like when you vote an option of a poll ^_^

[Xifanie]

lol tags

[Dome]

lol tags

They would be nice IMO ;P

[Asmo X]

lol introductions forum.

[Dome]

lol introductions forum.

It's you that proposed the kill of the introduction topic right asmo?
Why you tought it was useless?

[Asmo X]

It's pointless. Having separate spam and general forums is not pointless. It's just the terrible quality of the posting around here that makes it look that way.

We could make someone the moderator of general forum and make him control the posts here...
Otherwise we could merge the 2 forums and use the tags
Btw I think that the introduction forum wasn't so necessary, but also not  pointless...
If someone join FFH now, I dont know if he will know where to post the first time

[Asmo X]

they can post wherever they like. You don't have to make a pointless intro topic before you can start posting.

you bring up a good point

)@#?@(*?#@#*(@#_@&1-3189 Voldemort!!!!!!

This is what I said a couple of time on chat. General is suppose to be better than spam but isin't because of the maturity level.

[Dome]

Then...

We could make someone the moderator of general forum and make him control the posts here
