Exactly...that "which "which is better" is better" thing was ridiculous, in my opinion...

Personally, and this is just me, but I would rather see someone go OT WITHIN a thread, and have that OT-ness be contained, rather than an entire new thread be created for the sole purpose of continuing a brief, random, OT conversation. If someone is talking about TMNT 2: Secret of the Ooze, and I feel like making a Kevin Nash joke, I'm not gonna start an entire new thread for the purpose of one joke.

Oh goodness, no...if you just make one joke about him, within the context of something in the thread, thats fine. we're talking about stuff that REALLY gets out of hand...(heh, you have my email, you'll see some examples there...

I aint mad at ya Machias, ya know I got nuthin' but love for ya. And I'm not mad at the other Mods either, I know what they're trying to accomplish. There's better ways to accomplish it is what I'm saying. The system's been working fine the way it's been, for the most part. And like I said, reminding us to stay on-topic in the General forum is counterproductive just by nature.

Yeah, I tend to go off-topic too at times... *cough*funniest people*cough*

But if you want us to try and tone down the lewdness and references to Stooge-love, I think we can at least give it a shot.

Well, that would be greatly appreciated...

I'd have to agree with that, but what Darth wants is different.

*Nickokapo* · 04-14-2003, 01:13 PM

Off topic: can you NOT quote so much stuff?thank you

Honestly i think this rule could actually bring order in some parts of the forum, but only if applied right.

Nicko said "jihad"...

Sorry, that just struck me funny.

*Duke* · 04-14-2003, 02:03 PM

What the fudge?
I mean this is general discussion, so lets make it general. Dude if DR starts deleting threads and posts i'm going to get mad. He's acting like a Nazi, IMO. I mean its one thing not to start useless threads about "which is better" but not to get off topic in the general discussion is down right being like a tyrant.

I just want to hear what the big man, KRANG, has to say on the subject.

*Nickokapo* · 04-14-2003, 02:09 PM

Damn it, now everyone's calnig DR nazi and such

i'm against this too, but calm down, it's not so freakin' bad..
I do agree with you, this IS the general discussion forum and think offtopicness should be allowed.
Now if you're gonna use it in the tmnt forums only go for it, but if its gonna be applied everywhere, even the offtopic forums, then its not worth the price...of course that's just my opinion :p

~~Leo656~~ · 04-14-2003, 02:14 PM

That was exactly my point.

Just to relate an experience from the Lords of Pain boards, where I used to post frequently, stuff like this eventually led to a flood of anti-Mod threads and some individual posters going so far as to declare "open war" on certain mods. I for one do NOT think we need to see people with anti-Mod sigs, or threads dedicated solely to calling one of the Mods a "tyrant".

I've seen it happen, many times on many boards. Ask yourself if a drop of control is worth all the people who are eventually going to go so far as to get themselves Warned or Banned.

CookSux · 04-14-2003, 02:15 PM

Anyone notice the rise in stupid ass threads lately? Especially from Tokka creating a brand new thread per comparison. Which is better, new TMNT or old TMNT? Which is better, old Shredder or new Shredder? How about this one... Which would you want, a kick in the face, or a punch in the balls?

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-14-2003, 02:17 PM

CookSux,
That's not what this is about.

And i'm not technically calling DR a nazi, i don't know the guy personally. But he is kinda acting nazish with this thread. But if it is only cause of the which is better threads and thats all he is going to inforce it on, then i really don't mind. And would actually be glad.

*Nickokapo* · 04-14-2003, 02:22 PM

It is actually, tetsu, it'd be good if this rule would be used to put some order in those lame-ass threads that make the general tmnt discussion worse to the point of being annoying...i just dont want it interferring with the other forums

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-14-2003, 02:33 PM

No, he's talking about the side-conversations that occasionally pop-up within the threads themselves.
I hate the "which is better" threads too. Although I think there's nothing wrong with joke threads as long as they fit the forum.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-14-2003, 02:40 PM

@Leo
I understand what you're saying and I too consider "all out war" to be a last resort. But let's face it. We're all just about mad enough to do it. We should all try to be more constructive with our anger.

*Nickokapo* · 04-14-2003, 02:41 PM

Jokes are fine, specially if they're ontopic...but yeah, if they're gonna ban side-conversations or topic drifting, i'd hate that, at least here in the general discussion forum.
And yes, which is better threads got so annoying already i wouldnt mind the mods taking care of em...

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-14-2003, 02:42 PM

I think kali's about ready to take-out the "Suki vs. Saki" thread.

*Nickokapo* · 04-14-2003, 02:45 PM

I hope so, but i dont mind, as long as they stop making new threads about which is better already...it's got annoying to see a mirage vs whatever thread every 2 threads.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-14-2003, 03:34 PM

Yeah, tell me about it.
I wish people would be more creative with their topic ideas.

*Nickokapo* · 04-14-2003, 03:37 PM

You and me both

but i believe that was taken care of yesterday, fortunately.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 04-14-2003, 03:47 PM

How so?

*Nickokapo* · 04-14-2003, 03:49 PM

Well kali said she'd show no mercy to any new which is better thread, sooo...yeah... =P
