IMPORTANT: Few important changes to fight Spam - Page 8

Though I do suppose flattery is the only way to accomplish anything, opinions lack much value if there isnt the element of sucking up.

i like d idea of having a min character count for each post to stop spamming.. but 150 is way too high a figure.. some ppl r laconic who like to and can speak out their mind in fewer words.. there should be consideration for them, they may be unnecessarily forced to use more words than needed.. 50 could be a better figure..

besides this rule is not much suitable for CCs, they would require an exemption.. some ppl have given idea of spammer-watch which may work quite nicely imo..

My two cents:

 

Overall this forum may very well be shut down because frankly there's no use of it. Last time I checked the meaning of "discussion" in Oxford's dictionary, it stated "Identify issues and provide points for and/or against."

🤣 

IF may very well be unaware of the meaning or at least the kings and queens are fo sho!   

 

Let me suggest you a few tips before this place is fully deserted by the intellectual minds and is only left with ROFL'ers, LOL'ers, and MWAAAH'ers.

 

First I believe that if your intention is to have this forum carry scholarly discussions, be it positive or negative, then eliminate your biased moderators. It's not my fault that I am not best friends with them or text them on their cell phones 'xoxo' 24/7. I have a life you see.  I visit this place that has little or no sanity left to catch reviews, participate in discussions, or watch videos; not to find my future spouse.

 

Secondly, make the DEV team comprehend that a topic cannot be shut down because it highlights negative features of a character or episode. If you go back to the definition of discussion, then you will be able to view that discussion and debate value both the positive and negative features. Another aspect that I find absolutely comical is that many moderators have apparently perhaps forgotten that a show consists of fictional characters and not non fictional characters. Heheh. Once they comprehend that vital fact, then issues will begin to resolve automatically.

 

Thirdly, spamming should be your last concern. Since when did having 150 characters to a post qualify it to be scholarly? I tell you spammers are wise and they will end up adding only 3 other LOL's and ROFL's to meet the requirement.

 

Fourthly, you may very well hunt down all of the stalkers on IF that have indeed made this place 'haraam.' There may very well be a feature that exists on this place which can let members know how many anuties and Hannah Montana fans lurve them.  Actually I believe that if you tackle this conflict down, it will end up providing you better results than tackling the spammers down.

 

Lastly, freedom of expression is deprived from this website and some intellectual minds wouldn't mind at all if it's brought back.

 

I have sighted quite a few moderators who indeed attempt to resolve issues on IF and make it a memorable experience but the rest of the dim witted aunties, Hannah Montana lowers, and moderators who tend to believe they are God make this place suffocating.

 

Thanks!

 

I hope I didn't 'hurted' anyone's feelings now.
