This is kinda serious!

From now on we will delete bad topics and bad comments in the forum.

WHAT IS A BAD TOPIC?
Anything boring. This includes “cartoon BCB” (it has been done over and over) and “Mike X Tortoise” (it is really stupid.)

WHAT IS A BAD COMMENT?
Anything boring. This includes mindless chatter in an otherwise-focused topic. Keep mindless chatter to the Random Chat.

WHAT ABOUT THE GOOD COMMENTS IN BAD TOPICS?
They will be deleted. If you post in a bad topic, don’t expect it to last.

ISN’T THIS DRACONIAN YOU’RE BASICALLY TIM BUCKLEY NOW DID YOU KNOW THAT
Don’t fuck with us.

(ok really please let me know if I’m being overzealous, but the intention here is simply to clean up the forum so that a higher proportion of topics are worth reading.)

What you do with it will determine whether you’re being overzealous or not. I don’t know. I’m sad it’s come to this. We’ve had a good run without too much interference but I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.

Alright, Suitcase. Do your thang. I’ll respect you and Taysh no matter what you do.

For what it’s worth, this is basically an attempt to curtail Chazfullmetal. The rest of you aren’t so bad.

I understand, I’m just a little more self-conscious about my activities within threads.

J. Vincero (Jerk) August 29, 2010, 3:13 PM EST.

Comment ID #83641

Yup, things could’ve been a lot better without the useless threads.
So would dead threads undergo cleanup or will it be there for history purposes?
And are you able to pin this thread?

*Sigh* I will miss derailing the pointless threads but this really is for that best. Alright Captain Suitcase, I’ll keep my random comments in the Random chat.

*Salutes and walks away*

And I thought this forum wouldn’t need moderation.

Ah well, that’s what happens when your audience expands. Decent people will come in from time to time, but most of the people who will be joining will be trolls and such.

You may also want to check Candybooru. Some of the Anons are pretty outrageous, but happily, most of them are pretty decent.

You can still derail pointless threads, they’ll just be deleted in the end either way.

All insta-to-be-buried threads should be filled with fruit babies.

ToastyJester August 29, 2010, 3:30 PM EST.

Comment ID #83649

That is a wonderfully horrible idea Toasty, I would but it would lag the server down and then there would be much bitching from everyone.

I’m honoured that i’m worth it.

But, i’ve seen un-moderated sites turn to shit eventually, so this is a step in the right direction

And it has just occured to me that this is probably going to make my unstable social reputation on this site worsen. Ah well, whats done is done, so dont get mad at me it wont fix anything

Ya know you can edit posts right, you don’t need to make a whole new one.

I’m keeping the old threads in a database in case they matter, but they’re not publicly visible.

SuitCase August 29, 2010, 5:11 PM EST.

Comment ID #83693

Well I think I shall be using the emotive response of *heavy sigh* less often now. Yeah this definatly need to be done eventually.

(nameless) August 29, 2010, 5:11 PM EST.

So does that mean all old threads or just shit ones will go in the database?

Just shit ones.

Is a thread about “the top 5 emotions that will run through my head when i receive a copy of the BCB book” a bad topic?

……what about stuff like- when im drunk these are the philosophical topics i debate about, or maybe- these are my friends who can help you solve your insane problems because they are about to die or have already experienced just about everything.
or- religious beliefs topic

Oh, but sweetie, I have derailed (and helped derail) countless times in countless threads. You are not alone about being off-topic or silly once in a while. ^_^

Me and Jerk use to be the gods at derailing threads in the middle of summer. Good times, good times.

what’s next, requiring registration? almost an actual message board now. Granted, I like this, it’s fairly unique.

Will we have a shit topic hall of fame? That’d be hilarious, imho. Like, list a few crap topics and why they are crap.

Gabriel Kaxbe August 29, 2010, 9:00 PM EST.

“Mangoes”
“Actually About Mangoes”
“Post As Someone Else”
“9/11 Thread”
“Religion”
“Random Chat 9: I Am”

Seems fine. At least you’re more lenient than my sensei.


Jerk:NO RANDOM CHATS ARE SHIT THREADS!!!

They belong to the utter crap section.

Still, at least they aren’t appointing mods yet.
Cause you know how corrupt people get with power.

Ved_of_Flames August 30, 2010, 12:56 AM EST.

Comment ID #83888

This sounds excellent, Souppy. I’ve personally found it pretty hard recently to find the more interesting threads for all the… well, dross threads lying around. An anti-boring policy is just the job, and still maintains that indie charm this forum has.

Yappy August 30, 2010, 1:12 AM EST.

The first step happens here. It won’t be long now…

Comment ID #83983

if they do start to appoint mods… who would it be?

all i can think of are people who are the forums every day…. those people include *ninja, jerk, la commie, ilb, and me…. (there may be more im missing) and of that list… only ilb is suited for mod….

GoldenArbiter01 August 30, 2010, 10:33 AM EST.

Comment ID #83987

I’d certainly second any nomination of ILB, should it come to that. Tae and Souppy will always be queen and prince consort around here, but ILB’s our best bet for The People’s Princess.

Yappy August 30, 2010, 10:50 AM EST.

Comment ID #84008

Well, making a forum in this manner was a failed idea to begin with. This thing is unreadable. This is a flame trollzone not a forum.

Use PHPbb guys. It’s free and easier to manage.

Calling comments a forum… pfft…

Valumior August 30, 2010, 11:48 AM EST.

Comment ID #84016

NEvermind,but yeah i dfjksdgjnffnsdf sdfsffdsf visit the forums every day so i’d 3rd a nominate to ilb as mod but i seriously doubt that’d happen soon so w/e

Guys calm down, this doesn’t mean mods, it just means we have to stop acting like complete idiots. And who says ILB wants to be a mod anyways?

Wow guys, way to derail the thread even by just the slightest.

What I’m wondering is, why was my art thread deleted?

Gabriel Kaxbe August 30, 2010, 2:33 PM EST.

Comment ID #84060

Neeeeevermind! My computer and I are retarded.

Gabriel Kaxbe August 30, 2010, 2:50 PM EST.

Comment ID #84077

So. How does this get implemented then? Are you and Tae just going to keep an eye out for the rubbish threads, or are we looking at more of a “click to flag this” solution?

Yappy August 30, 2010, 4:00 PM EST.

Comment ID #84083

flagging is just a soft version of morderating, as thread derailers would simply flag threads en masse to be rid of them.

I still think this new policy is a good idea, but i feel kinda bad that i was the one that clinched it. ¬.¬

damn my massive clumsy hands!

no im not fat i just have massive hands and my right wrist is screwed up kay?

Comment ID #84091

Believe me when I say there are few things I want less than to become a mod. But I’m also glad that’s not what Soup-gun is doing because I don’t like seeing someone I respect turn into a total cunt. I’m not saying I have anyone in mind, just that even completely irrelevant power does stupid things to people, you dig?

J. Vincero (Jerk) August 30, 2010, 4:18 PM EST.

Comment ID #84127

I don’t think we will be appointing mods, it’s just a case of deleting things. Or rather a case of Souppy doing it. I don’t really know how to use the site :-[ but I visit the forums frequently so I know when bullshit happens and so I tend to bitch to him about it.

Taeshi August 30, 2010, 5:32 PM EST.

Comment ID #84128

Honestly, I don’t think it will change much because it’s not that easy to annoy me to the extent of wanting to purge a topic. Until now there was only one topic I BEGGED Souppy to delete.

I’m sure nothing will change, if you guys act like.. not stupid you know?

Taeshi August 30, 2010, 5:35 PM EST.

So its come to this…*nods* alright then. I shall do what i can to keep from derailing.
