New Ideas for OVP Round 2
So, my glorious tl;dr that was the original opening post is now gone. I'm too lazy to remember exactly what I posted, so now you're getting the short version.
IDEAS FOR OVP 1. Remove Postcount I've decided that postcount is useless in OVP. It's all spam relies anyway. Members just go there for postcount++. I want it gone. 2. One Thread Per Day Limit I am so sick and tired of the threadbombing people have been doing lately. It's getting ridiculous. I'm so tired of having to read all those new replies. In the past, we've put out the thread limits, and they worked great. So I want to implement it again. 3. No Replying Post your post, and don't discuss anything. Ever. If you start discussing, then it might as well be an OC thread. So no quoting anyone ever. If they do, I'll delete and infract when necessary. Thoughts, guys? |
100% behind removing postcount for OVP. idk why it's even there in the fist place.
I think one thread per day should only apply to the main offenders really. ;x Have like a limit where you go, "if you make more than 3 threads a day you'll be pushed to the one thread a day limit". Something like that would probably work and give people a "chance" to be "fair". :( As for the no replying, that sounds good. |
I'm fine with removing post count. Didn't there used to be a rule for the number of threads you could make in a day? I'd be fine with that too.
Pretty much a-okay across the board. |
It makes sense because seriously I thought OC was for discussing things anyway. :/

Uh, what. Sammi, don't you think you should have discussed this with me - or at least, you know, given me any sort of heads up whatsoever - before posting it here?
-sigh- alright, lets do this. The no replying rule I have no issue with and the one thread per day is a little silly because it restricts activity but if you feel that strongly about it I guess it's... alright. But let me be very very clear about this point: You will remove post count over my dead body. Like, are you serious? Really? If you think the people are spamming with post count on, can you imagine how much they'll spam without it? Look at the Trivia sections, they are pointless spam pits because lack of post count makes people think that a section doesn't matter. I've been on other forums where there are sections without post count and half the posts are three or four words long because there's no incentive to make a post decent - you have literally nothing to show for the post. I would much prefer people come in and get their postcount +1 than have it turn into another Trivia section. I'm honestly shocked anyone thinks this is a good idea. Oh and yeah again, just in case it didn't come across loud and clear - next time a little heads up would be nice, Sammi. |

No offense Andy, and I do mean this because we are mates, but cut Sammi some slack. Sammi has been here way before you and knows what is best for the board. |
"You haven't been here as long so shut up and just deal with it" is what I'm hearing, and no matter how nicely you put it it's still kind of an annoying thing to say. How long do I have to be around before what I say carries any weight, Will? I don't care if I've been a mod for five minutes or five years, I'm in the section every day and I like to think that I have some sort of idea what I'm talking about. Also, I don't think notice is too much to ask.
|
I am not having an argument in public with you, Andy. |
I disagree entirely with removing the one thread per day limit. I'm someone who goes on posting sprees all the time, and if that rule were in place, I wouldn't like going in OVP much anymore. It's ridiculous! I don't care if you remove post count, though. I think post count should be removed globally just because people tend to over-care about stupid things like that, and the no replying rule does make a lot of sense. One of the problems on PC is the similarities between OVP and OC that even I confuse sometimes. Eliminating that factor of replying would completely minimalise the forum to the point where no discussion is there - thus eliminating the confusion between OVP and OC.

It's a thread to discuss with the staff. It's not like that one time I added the Feedback thread behind your back. So what I didn't run it by you? I don't know why the staff added you as a mod. I was running the forum just fine until you came along. Now it's all "you better leave me reports" and "you better tell me everything you do before you do it" and "I'm all better than you". You're now part of the problem instead of part of the solution. Let's get one thing straight: OVP is my forum. I just let you mod there. Now shut up and do as I say. With that out of the way... No, I don't think the forum will turn into a complete spampit. You see, I'll be ruling it with an iron fist. I have been way too nice as of late. I'll infract the second they start spamming. If they want to spam, they'll soon be banned. Then we'll used the banned members as an example and there will be no troubles. Quote:
I've got to go to work so I'll reply to the rest of this later. |

The Trivia section is more than just some mindless section in which people just oh so randomly posts. We have several games and in which require more thought! ... and I would say more but I'm hungry and I need food. |

I really don't want to do this here, but if you're going to make it public then I'll play.

Look, I'm sorry. I'm sure you and Netto do a fine job with what you've been given, I didn't mean to imply that it was badly modded. I'm sure the Trivia sections are a pretty perfect version of what they are. But... The Count to Infinity? Don't Let The Mods Say Zero? Come on. They're just spammy DCCs with numbers at the top of each post. I'm not telling you anything you don't know here lol. --- ANYWAY we're digressing. I think the point to take away from this is that OVP is a post count section and should remain that way, because it's change for the sake of change and that should ALWAYS be discouraged. |

Not having you around wouldn't be that much of a loss, tbh. Quote:
Also, you're a liar. Where the hell are these so-called 20 threads a day? Why don't I see them? Shining Raichu can't permanently delete posts, unless he has that permission, in which case I am going to have a stern talking-to to my h-staff friends. I've been here almost 8 years. I know what the **** I'm talking about. You haven't been here near long enough. Kindly STFU. Quote:

You have no idea what's best for OVP, noob. Why do you think I leave you out of discussions? Quote:
In fact, I'm going to have you removed. Just you watch. Quote:

Actually, that wouldn't be half bad. Those were the best times. Look where PC is now, it's awful. |

POST COUNT SHOULD STAY DAMNIT.
I'm fine with the other two things, though I'd absolutely prefer if they didn't happen. I won't say anything further lest I get caught up in the shitstorm that this thread has become. http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n398/donavannj/fuk-this-thread-im-outta-here.jpg |
I'd like a show of hands, just how many people give a flying **** about how long sammi-san has been around? I mean, I know I don't, but she keeps talking about it as though someone should.

In the meantime, post count stays. |
