das Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It's late enough in the year to make this my post of the year. I will take your challenge, and i'll ante it up and say some of the changes i've been hearing requested (Sigs limits and name changing) are being reviewed and you'll see something soon that will make you happy ;) Consider it money in the bank "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I agree with Dandaman. I see you posting everywhere else but CD so it's not like you're inactive or anything. Even posting a grats in a war topic once in a while would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Touche sir, Touche, I'm less active public than i'd like to be, but I could make excuses about being busy and [cabbage], but I do post in off topic, so I got no excuse. You and Killerred are right . I feel into the trap I hated of being a behind the scenes staff guy and it took me awhile to come out of that at all. I deserve what i'm getting here.

Kimberly Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I really don't care, I'll do what i want with my time on forums, thank you for all of your concern! :thumbup: It could be considered as spam, Ninane Confirm/Deny? I could see both sides to as why it is and is not spam, but what does a mod have to say? All depends on the context. And as far as "gf <clans>" go, if people don't want to see posts like that anymore, we can look into removing them. But that has always been a...tradition? of the clan world to do something like that, and I and the rest of the staff would be really hesitant to take something away that has been such a long-standing part in clans and their respective communities.

You're not getting what I'm saying lol. You can't find too many people that type the same response just different clanname for every post.

Like I said before most people can afford 2 secs to spell it out differently or change a color add a diff emote. I'm in no way or form saying censor the words gratz clanname here or gf w/e you think im saying. It's when people start repeating the same thing over and over and over when it's annoying. If you're too lazy why post anyways? The avoiding problems argument isn't a good one, seeing as you don't lose everyfight, and let's be honest even if you did you would start to cause beef or defend why you lost or throw out some excuses. It's almost more of a problem/ argument against people who weren't in the war, those people need to stop being robots posting the same thing all the time, 99% of the time the people involved in the war will always type a mix of things instead of the same thing for every single war topic.

I'm just saying that the majority of responses will be similar in nature. I'm just not keen on adding rules and regulations when there needn't be any. I say, if someone wants to post like that, let them. It will make those who actually put effort into their replies more noticeable. I do agree though, someone who just posts a :thumbup: should have their reply removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raee Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Why doesn't Tip.it have a reputation system so I can -1 posts like TL;DRLOL or something to change my username to something more relevant to my current rsn? :thumbdown: That's because it serves as basically another method for trolling and insulting people as well as show people who are posting like idiots (...) that they're, well, posting like idiots. The bolded part would be one of the main reasons I would want a reputation system. I honestly doubt too much trolling/insulting would come out of it either.
