Why do people even bother to make useless posts like 'lol' or 'rofl'? I'm not talking about threads where everyone's just mucking around in general, but in general discussion threads. I mean if you don't have anything better to say than that then just stfu, as you're just wasting server resources.

Seriously, I wouldn't mind seeing a 10 char limit implemented like on other online forums just to eliminate some of the garbage posts that pop up every now and then.

agreed jans, besides, a 10 character limit would just make "rofl" become "roflcopter" :P

I agree with you, but a 10 char limit is not the solution. A post with less than 10 characters is not always "spam": http://bots4.net/forum/1/889

You'll just have to accept the fact chatty 12yo's will play this game too. They have just as much rights to use the forums as you do. Even though their contributions may not be as 'valuable' :)

Just a few recent egs. I know due to your heavy financial investment in the game you feel some need to also heavily invest in the game by use of the forums, but mate these posts are just useless.

Theres always some kind of spam be it lol or guess whos the next poster thread.

Nothing much you can do except maybe direct the energy of those spammers to the "guess the next poster" kind of threads.

Either way dont you guys think the most INTERESTING part of this thread is why voxy donated?.. I can think of various favours.... intimate favours... :D


 
Skeith [72]

The reason must be that Voxy is extremly generous. Or that he´s trying to buy Ender´s love.


 
Skeith [72]

I bet he's going to use this as leverage later. When he wants something, all he has to do is say "I donated over $1000" and Ender will give it to him, lol.

Hmm maybe a better way I could have approached this is by saying that anyone who in response to this thread or in future makes a 'lol' or 'rofl' etc. comment is mentally retarded. Or fornicates with their sister. I can't decide which.


 
Voxymaus [133]

Nah, I just want the game to live forever. At least one of the excuses for it shutting down -if it ever did- can't be there was no financing :P I donated for the stars, I didn't for one second have in mind leverage over what happens in the game.. Although intimate thoughts did come to mind ;)

People who actually did try to use their donations as leverage with floR, pissed him off good. And he was right of course.

Lol would become lolerskates, and lmao would become lmaonade.
