Title Claim

[Surelyfunke]

Meh, the spammers didn't leave PMBD because of Piratebooty, as much as I love her. They left because we pelted them with rocks.

And Bluesoup was a great mod.

[J. M. Pescado]

I disagree, BlueSoup has not failed: on the contrary had a very good idea, deleting and then locking the forum; at first I was a little appalled, but I have to admit that it was exceptionally effective, in restoring a sort of "order". Quick, easy and aimed to the point: efficiency.

Actually, I locked the forum, after the Bobblehead flipped out and went postal.

[Marhis]

My mistake, I didn't know. Good team work, anyway.

[notveryawesome]

So, am I safe in assuming that the phorum is now clear of spamming 12-year-olds? I would like to go back, but I really can't abide trolling spammers (or is it spamming trolls )? At any rate, nothing brings out my inner bitch the way socially retarded teenagers do. *sigh* I must be getting old.

Oh, and all BlueSoups are awesome.

[Surelyfunke]

The spammers that left seem to have been replaced by a whole new "retar-DOH!" bunch.

The spammers that left seem to have been replaced by a whole new "retar-DOH!" bunch.

With the added benefit of "be nice!" scolds.

[notveryawesome]

Great...

[Marhis]

Any forum may be infested by morons and spammers, you can't hope they go away by themselves, or they don't sign up. The only way to deal with them is kick them out.
Like spraying Raid on cockroaches.

[notveryawesome]

Unfortunately, this is true, although MATY seems to remain relatively troll-free compared to other fora that I've visited. Somehow the trolls just seem to feel more comfortable trolling at PMBD. Oh well. Perhaps I'll try going back there in hopes that PirateBooty will keelhaul the offending parties. I do generally like the place.

[BlueSoup]

Well, Be Less Stupid! was set up to be a sort-of replacement for PMBD with the added benefit that I will absolutely kick out any spammer 12-year-old morons as soon as I see them.

[notveryawesome]

Excellent! Thanks, Blue. You are Teh Awesome!!!!!!!1111oneone

Just out of curiosity, what actually happened at PMBD? I only posted a hello and didn't stick around, did something more ghastly than the average forum flareup occur?

[J. M. Pescado]

Not really. BlueSoup just couldn't handle it anymore and went postal and deleted everything, because she has a fat head.

[notveryawesome]

I dunno. It was enough to make me leave, and I'm not so easily discouraged. It takes A LOT to piss me off, but once I'm pissed off, that's it - I either leave or open up a can of whoopass. Since I had no real power to do the latter, I did the former. *sigh* There's a reason why I no longer moderate web fora.

[ZiggyDoodle]

BlueSoup just couldn't handle it anymore and went postal and deleted everything, because she has a fat head.

Good for Blue.  If in fact she deleted it all, just proves that her "fat head" encloses a huge brain.

I suggest a sign be posted at PMBD stating:  "The cesspool has closed."

HEY!! What about my request to have special titles for us poor slobs who made a sincere effort to be helpful?

I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!!

*V stomps her foot then stands akimbo and glares

I WANT!!



*V realizes her first request may have been Completely Useless and Largely Ignored^TM, but must try again anyway.


Come on.... Some "poke"-ish kind of acknowledgement for us total losers who can't even do "being helpful" right?

[neriana]

Just out of curiosity, what actually happened at PMBD? I only posted a hello and didn't stick around, did something more ghastly than the average forum flareup occur?

A bunch of 12ish spammers took over, starting stupid topics and replying to every single thing anyone else posted, with something stupid, of course. Now, there isn't so much spam, but there's a whole lot of stupidity of differing degrees. Example: a poll topic about how the poster hates "noobs", with people discussing the definition of "noob" and other people waggling their fingers about how everyone should be nice and not call names tsk tsk. When I read a reply to another thread that said basically "I hope no one here would be that mean", and the poster was not summarily tarred and feathered for sounding like she was addressing a bunch of preschoolers, I realized it wasn't the place for me.

PMBD could use another BlueSoup-style cleansing.

[notveryawesome]

Damn, and I was hoping things had actually gotten better. Silly me.

[kutto]

fr33 st00f has a bad tendency of attracting 12 year olds. I knew there was a reason I didn't register over there.

[KatEnigma]

Maybe you've hit upon the real reason sites start charging!  It would help a lot in keeping the 12 yr olds away, since their mommies won't let them use a credit card on the internet!

[notveryawesome]

Hmmm, I think you might just be onto something there.

[kutto]

Do you see a bunch of 12 year olds here at MATY? Maybe it's the subscription fee.

[ElfPuddle]

Come on.... Some "poke"-ish kind of acknowledgement for us total losers who can't even do "being helpful" right?

*pokes V for throwing a tantrum in the middle of an important PMBD discussion in the MATY title thread*

 

[kewian]

V had better be careful....titles are not always positive nor deserved.

[V]

Ahhh, Thanks Elfie. I thought I was invisible what with all the ignoring me that was going on!!
