Title: The Waste land.
Post by: Isnt Anything on November 28, 2005, 11:34:59 am
This forum is for Images and sigs not a loop hole for crap. AIM is wonderful. So is their chat feature. Use it. This is not what this forum is for. I'm ready to start closing topics...

There was never any rule against useless posting in The Waste Land.

Topics that were spam in here never got deleted.

I don't know why they suddenly stopped being made, but now they have returned. Who really cares?

If even the most random member that I've never heard of made a "spam thread" in The Waste Land, I wouldn't care, because it's The Waste Land. The end.

THESE ARE THE ONLY RULES OF THE WASTE LAND.
1. Don't Advertise - You can have ads in your sig though.
2. Don't Flame or Swear - Same as the rest of the Sponge Zone.


Therefore, people can useless post ALL THEY WANT.

But now there is a topic saying don't spam it up. ;-)

Just listen to the rules.

We do listen to the rules.  Loco showed the only two rules....


Just ignore the crap and go on. It's not that bad..

It seems that as long as we're allowed to spam here, spam on the rest of the board isn't an issue.  This place seems to help more than it hurts.

I do believe the topics have gotten out of hand the past month or 2 because people don't seem to care that some topics are just really dumb and annoying. There have been more replies in the waste land lately than anywhere else. That's not what this forum should be about. It sounds like ya'll don't even care what mods say based on your reaction in this thread. Deanna has been one of the strictest mods on here, and that is really what we need. Sure, I thought that making useless topics back then was great but now its basically all about the waste land instead of any other forum.

if everyone on the board waz postin in the wasteland, you'd be partially right.  but therez only a select few of us that actually post anything here.  and i do respect wut modz say, itz jus that given wutz been said...different modz have different opinionz on this place.  i stand by wut i said, if deanna and otherz are adamant about it want to put to an end to wut this place haz primarily been, there aint much we can do...im jus puttin in my two centz about it.

I'm going to go by what admins say.  Not mods.  Kevin doesn't seem to care.  Neither does cmonkey.  When one of them says that we can't post nonsense here, then I'll stop.  Until then, I don't see a problem with it.

Wow.. this isn't a discussion. This is a rule, go by it. You think because your favorites you get to do all this stuff. LISTEN TO THE RULES. You aren't above them.

Look at the wasteland rules:

 Since this is a testing forum, not all of the rules need to be enforced.

1. Don't Advertise - You can have ads in your sig though.
2. Don't Flame or Swear - Same as the rest of the Sponge Zone.

Post by: Daniel on November 28, 2005, 04:07:30 pm
The mods need to CHILL! God, this place is getting worse than Spongebuddy Mania. Just screw it all.

Look, I am a mod and if you kids want to act like your 5, fine by me. I dont give a rip if you guys only want to listen to admins. That shows your maturity. You cant pick and choose who you listen to based on their decision to rain on your love parade. Look, We can have fun on this forum, but the 16 year old love chat is ONLY fun for a select few and the "Emo" or whatever kids pick on some of the younger kids who "dont get it". Someone needs to stick up for them. On top of that, this crap has made two great mods leave. Alex and crow.  This forum was fun when I joined. And guess what? I've made rules before. To the games forum AND added something to the pineapple. Look at chongsters rule for easterhead island. What does that prove? That we CAN make rules based on the need for them. The "official" rules were made in early 2005. We are almost in 2006 and a lot has changed. The issue with plagiarism wasnt an issue in January of 2005, but is one now. We made a rule about it. Why is this a rule now? Because you guys took it out of hand. If it wasn't such a big deal. 2 long time members wouldnt've left. Enough said.

I don't give a crap what happens to me because of the following statement, because I'm not coming back (for real this time).

You're all acting like morons. Timo, Andrew, and yes, Roger, you.

Timo and Andrew, people need a place to blow off some steam. The Waste Land is an ideal place to do that. How has it hurt anyone? You say it's annoying, but please, tell me - does it REALLY matter? Do you want people to be uptight all the time?

My suggestion: if you guys don't want your precious Waste Land to be swamped with spam threads, how about we make an entirely new forum or sub-forum for people to spam their little hearts out? Please explain to me the harm in that.

Roger, whether you like it or not, the admins AND the mods make the rules. You just have to flow with it. If they won't budge and do what I suggested, you can leave or cope with it.

And finally, while you aren't acting like an idiot, Deanna... you're more uptight about the Waste Land than anyone. I simply have to reiterate a statement from a few paragraphs ago. Where is the harm?

And now, with all the respect in my heart:

Listen to Uncle Penn. (http://stfupenn.ytmnd.com/)

The stuff that happens here didn't cause people to leave.

Alex left because of school.

Red Hat left because...I don't know why.  But he left.

It's the life cycle of the forum.  People come, people go.

Some people apparently CAN'T have fun.  Oh well.  I'll listen to your dumb new rule.

The OWNER should deal with this. Not 'Deanna'... Ugh.

It isnt that I'm uptight. Its just annoying. Thats why people have AIM and chats. Plus, a few others have forums of their own to post at. I wouldnt care if the nonesense didnt clog this thread. Sesiously...I'm not the only one. You guys cant get into the secret box. Thats where all of this is discussed. Including all mods AND admins. This forum isnt for spam. I just dont like spam. I really could care less what any of you guys think. I've been saying that forever. This has been going on for months and I'm not as horrible as you guys say. I just hate stupid talk. Anyway, I'm done with this crap. This forum has been going to crap since last summer...

Whoops Edited twice

By the way... Roger you cant read the secret box. Dont assume what you dont know and Scilla, stop making personal digs.

Good.  Maybe if you're done with it, you can ignore it.  Why don't you just collapse this forum on your homepage, so that you don't have to see it?

Ouch. That was little hard Roger.

You're a very cold person. I never said anything like that to you. You dont know me at ALL. Now just stop it. I dont have to leave. But you can if you'd like.

I don't care that it was hard.  It's the exact impression I've picked up from  her.

Oh...and by the way, I'm not a "cold person."  I'm usually very nice to people.  You just push the wrong buttons because you don't allow any resemblance to fun.

Deanna is a manly lesbo ::Dolphin Noise::. God she looks like a ::Dolphin Noise::ing dude.


Uh huh.


And if you're done with it. Ignore the ::Dolphin Noise::.

AY!

all u guyz are doin iz causin a big wave of dissention.  regardless of who'z right and wut should and shouldnt be...stop tearin into each other.  if it goez on, more people are gonna be leavin and all that it'll serve iz creating grudgez against one another.  so chill out, and jus stop.  at this point, i could give a ::Dolphin Noise:: about this place, but all of u are better than this.

Wow.

This thread has gone beyond moronic.

Now you're offending each other for meaningless reasons?
Title: The Waste land.
Post by: cmonkey on November 28, 2005, 04:41:40 pm
Shut your pie holes.  All of you.  You're all acting like idiots.  Notice the use of the word acting.  I know you're all capable of intelligent thought and speech.  Mods, admins, members, romans, countrymen, invertibrates.

So here's the deal.  Calm down, all of you, or I'll shut down the whole kit and caboodle.  From this moment forward, the rules will be enforced as they were written, or are written:

1. Don't advertise.
2. Don't flame or use foul language.

So, does that mean you can post idiotic nothings to each other?  Go ahead, it only makes you look immature, but I won't stop you.  There are, of course, more efficient ways to go about doing that, like AIM, MSN, or even IRC, but if it tickles you the right way, post it in the Waste Land.  

BUT, and this is a large but, don't bother complaining if mods or admins close or delete your Waste Land topics.  Just as the rules for posting in the Waste Land are loose, so are the rules for moderating it.  Meaning, free reign for all those who have the power to do so.  It's the wild west out in yonder Waste Land, keep your wits sharp and your post buttons oiled.

EDIT:  And just to prove that I mean what I say, I deleted half the posts in this topic at random and merged half of the others.  Have a nice day.

Post by: spongemonkey13 on November 28, 2005, 05:05:04 pm
Geez it looked like it was an interesting day. Well since quitting USB is the newest fad I guess I am staying. I was never big on following the crowd unless I wanted to. Well I will miss everyone who left but the show will still go on without you guys. Sorry but you aren't really making the impact you wanted to. I don't necessarily agree all the way with the mods but I am not going to get all mad and leave forever. Show some maturity and admit up to your mistakes.

I'll post. I wasn't being a moron, nor did I intend do. Yeah, Deanna's uptight, but isn't everybody every once in a while? I honestly don't see why people just don't deal with it and not let one person ruin your experiences here (Scilla...), but yeah. Nick wasn't being a moron either. I respect all of you guys a great deal. This got out of hand. I think all the morons owe an apology. And I guarantee Roger is the only brave one to do that.

I was leaving already. Beleive me, she just pushed me over the edge. Roger is guilty, thats why he apologized, I guarantee that. I won't apologize because I don't take crap. I've stated it once before. I'm sorry, but SHE needs to apologize before I do. And yes, I am a whimp, a butthole, and I may be rude. But atleast I stick to what I say.

I'm still not staying, but I will say that I hope you guys work everything out for good here. It's just not fun for me anymore, but obviously, many of you do still, and I'd hate for something you like so much to die.

Post by: Fifth Dynasty on November 28, 2005, 05:20:12 pm
What reason does Jack have to not stay? You were always so cool...so so cool. I just can't stand it when people have to "leave forever and I'm never coming back". Just take a break from USB for a little bit and come back later...

I'm not going to say he left for good because, knowing Alex, he'll probably be back.

But school is a huge stress on him, and USB causes him to procrastinate too much.  I can understand his reasoning for leaving.  I've considered it myself,  but I stay for the people.
