The OTF Question!
Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.
Raz
OK, it's that time again, where the OTF is being flooded with utter crap. I think its time we did something about this.
But before I do, I thought I'd ask you, the OTF regulars, what you would like to see. i.e. what kind of modding should happen here.
So get voting and post your comments here!
Eclipse
Well you can't be to serious....Its the OFT wre talking about!
yerssot
you know my opinion: close the crap, some are just plainly retarded
Phoenix
Fun crap threads = stay
stupid crap threads = recycle bin!
mors823
I say #2. Most of the crap thread die off after a few days. These one should be deleted after some time. There are some good threads, though, that are random and should stay.
Kaleanae
Close all the crap threads. Keep it highly moderated - just like any of the other forums.
Eclipse
Whatever.........I don't care!
clavis9495
! I DO!
Dregh
Close threads like "Am I sexy?" "Am I ugly?" "Do you love me?" I'm leaving!" and "Which guy do you like more?"
total metalhead
Close crap threads sparsely and occasionally. I like some of them!
a small percentage of them are funny, but some are utterly pointless.
raven guardia
I think we should keep it the way it is...that is was makes OTF so great. maybe close the threads that havent been posted on for a while and some repeats of the same stuff but other then that I love OTF and like it the way it is.
Be@st
I say Nah, the crap threads are what make the OTF the OTF! Keep 'em all! It's better with crap thread because you can post there how stupid and useless the thread is and things like that so soon it becomes not so crapy.
Vampiree
Close all stupid threads.. i'm sure you WILL make exceptions *coughcoughTiredHikercoughcough*
yerssot
it's known as "boosting postcount"
Fire
just close all the idiot threads
Be@st
what does boosting mean?
Xena fan
The question is "What do YOU consider crap"? some ppl like to talk about nonsense others don't see that way. I post only on those that are fun.
Be@st
Oh; I forgot to put
on my last post
yerssot
like that
muahahahaha
Be@st
And you say I'm boosting my postcount
yerssot
in the otf, a lot of people are
Linkalicious
I just don't like all the flavor of the week threads...
a couple weeks ago it was "i'm leaving"
before that was "am i ugly?"
it changes every week, i think there should be like 1 official thread like those stated above, but not multiple.
Fire
well Xena_Fan it aint easy to agree with +-10 ppl (moderators) on what is crap and what is not
Kaleanae
Going point Xena Fan
yerssot
get an otf mod than fire
*waits for all the n00bs to make "I want to be otf mod!" threads*
Fire
maybe but still it'll prolly be one of those who is already moderator and still few mods decide things with out talking to others
Linkalicious
r u kidding...mods spend vast amounts of time in OTF...they just need to put foot to arse on some people who make dumb threads.
Be@st
I still think that OTF should stay the same.
raven guardia
Xena has a great point! many people have diffrent opinions on what is good and what is crape.....I believe we just keep OTF the way it is UNLESS raz should get pm's complaining about a certain thread which I'm sure wont happen
yerssot
oh, believe me, he already got some
why do you think the "report to moderators" button was made?
Linkalicious
because it was originally part of the product when they bought the license to Vbulletin? just a guess...
Be@st
I thought it was here just for a decoration.
yerssot
hopefully they'll listen to storm
Xena fan
Ive seen some odd threads but ppl still respond to them. So just because someone is grouchy and didnt like it therefore is CRAP? come on! have fun! dont be so uptight.
Be@st
What would happen if I would click on report button on this thread?
yerssot
nothing, since raz is monitoring it
Storm
After 7 months, it isn' t fun anymore
yerssot
and you have the stamina storm, for me it was after 1
Gregory
Most browsers have this thing called a "back" button. If you think a thread is crap, you can press this button, and suddenly, you will no longer be reading the thread. No moderation required.
yerssot
despite popular believe, the forums have to obey RULES, you know ... like THE LAW
Be@st
Laws are made for breaking
Raz
That is EXACTLY what I've done. But lately, I've been pressing too much.
§pearhead
IF we have a mod, I think we'll need a few--regulars who are on fairly regularly, who are at the OTF regularly.
That's a big if though
Raz
All the modding will be handled by the global mods.
Be@st
I think that we need another OTF; but that one would have all those stupid threads; so if there's a stupid thread mods just move it there instead of deleting it; then I think everyone would be happy; and no one would lose thread he/she likes
yerssot
that's number one asking for a mod already
Gregory
The first option is:
"Close all the crap threads. Keep it highly moderated - just like any of the other forums."
Now I mostly hang out in the comic forums (which don't have their own moderators), and I admit I haven't been here long, but I've never seen a forum closed because a moderator decided it was "crap." Am I correct in thinking that that doesn't happen very often? And if it doesn't, why should the OTF be an exception?
amity75
At the end of the day, every thread eventually deteriorates into the same group of people talking about themselves and goes completely off topic. All threads should be binned after 2 weeks to keep things fresh.
§pearhead
You'd be surprised by the utter crap that can be at this place. And MOST of the utter crap has been made already, but that's another problem altogther.
Linkalicious
what about threads like "the Gent Club" or "the word game" that have been around longer than you've been a member?
I think we should require Raz and Silv Tears to think up and make atleast 1 thread a day. Razzes are by far the best and most unique, but Silv's aren't far behind.
Raz
I nominate the pad!
TH don't hurt me!
Linkalicious
I hate going into the pad just on pure principle...but it does have some of the most interesting threads in it.
TH shoulda saved the Ugly Chicks thread for the Pad.
§pearhead
uh...no. first of all, people shouldn't be forced to make a thread. you make them when you want to. and second, after a while, they'd end up making BS threads as well.
yerssot
a mod can't close an entire forum, only the big giant head can
Gregory
Threads in the Off-Topic Forum are going off-topic? What is the world coming to?
Gregory
I meant "thread." I've never seen a thread closed because the moderator thought it was crap. Does it happen?
yerssot
no, that's not a reason to close it at the least!
lots of reports to the mods about threads here got the reply "it's the otf, what did you expect?"... I think that says enough
amity75
I don't think that's got anything to do with it.
WindDancer
Close all the crap threads. Keep it highly moderated - just like any of the other forums.
That's my vote!! What's a crap thread for me? Someone posting things like:
"Wheeeeeee..."
"Should I use wax to removed my body hair?"
"What color is the rainbow?"
Things like that are pointless. Make threads in which we can all participate and have fun. NOT the dumbest polls we seen lately!
mailedbypostman
I choose... the middle one. Some things that you people think are "crap are liked by some people. But please close threads like the examplle thread above.
Be@st
I love pointless polls; they're often very funny.
amity75
Unfortunately the threads which are the most intelligent and thought provoking to read are the ones which get closed immediately ie religion and politics. Come on, admit it, would you really rather read about the ammount of weights someone lifted at school that day?
VilleValo462
i choose the second option .... 2 reasons ... 1 because some of them are funny .... 2 you can make fun of people who make the stupid threads ....
Be@st
The problem with those threads is that soon they become a war field. It's much easier to fight someone because of politics and religion than because someone is bragging about the weight lifting.
Shoukan
I think that the OTF should be moderated at some level...
The fun crap threads can stay but the worthless junk ones can go
Tex
I think crap threads are fine, just as long as they're not too sexual/political or contain some form of serious intended member bashing.
pixie1
what makes a crap thread a crap thread??
Punker69
Pixie just so you know your fired from the TRIBUNE!
I think all crap threads should STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dogbert
Was any of that necessary...
silver_tears
I personally don't care either way
Although the globals come in here regularaly, and that's sometimes too little, but mostly good
Punker69
That was called a CRAP POST
amity75
There should be an additional forum entitled "Intellectual Discussion". I'm pretty thick myself but it could be the place to go for those wishing to have em, "Intellectual Discussion".
§pearhead
oops, i had forgotten to vote.
option number two
JKozzy
Indeed
steely balls
i don't care, if u don't like a thread don't have to go to it but it does get pretty cluttered
BadBabe
lets crap on all the threads WOOOOO
what?? im confusing myself
BadBabe
uuuuuh yeah what he said
Crash Overload
Only close the really bad ones.
DeNiro
No Mods in the OTF but if u do decided to choose one I nomnate Silver Tears
Also Close ne copy cat threads for the love of Raz
Lord Soth
There are some crap threads that are good......almost a lot. Just close those that are completely worthless crap.
DeNiro
Hence the problem of the copy cat threads like the Im leaving threads and for those that have been here longer the do you like me threads
:
Freddy_vs_Jason
Keep the stupid threads!! its the OFT forum for heaven sakes.
Tired Hiker
But I thought that was what the pad was for?
Tired Hiker
Seriously though, here are some of my high developed ideas. First, float all the crap threads my way, I'd be honored, seriously. Second, members should be able to moderate the OTF on their birthday. That would be interesting. Third, I will start an Intellectual Conversation thread in my pad, so don't worry about that. I got it covered.
badkittykitty
the only thing is about that is that the the thread starter may not feel it is a 'crap' thread so to float it in on a crap moblie may hurt some peoples feelings and cause animosity among them. i want to say it's all or nothing..but the nothing part is going to 'cause the otf to go hell in a hand basket..so I have to pick sparsely... just the ones so bad the the thread creator even cringes that that they ever made it.
Tired Hiker
I see. And I support any necessary changes here at KMC.
i slayed buffy
some of them are fun but sum r shit
dragonpisces272
I post on the fun ones also...so the ones like "do you hate me" threads got to go
Storm
GDF
Evy_O
I think OTF should be cleared up a bit, but I dunno how that can be done, given it's... OFF topic
yerssot
... said storm to a bunch of people that never have left the OTF and posted in another section
glenn
Don't keep all of them, get rid of the ones that are nonsense.
big gay kirk
Close all the sensible threads!!! On all the other forums!! Invade them with off topic remarks, like a virus, induce Seefa Schnee's gift in all the other members and ultimately take over the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Warning: Excessive use of exclamation marks can reveal serious character flaws)
glenn
Close all the sensible threads. That might make a few people not want to come here any more
yerssot
you consider that a problem?
silver_tears
ahem
silver_tears
I luv you too D
yerssot
what? you're still not gone?
silver_tears
no, still got a full day left
yerssot
*chases you with a broom*
silver_tears
*trips and hurts self* cry
yerssot
*lifts you up in his arms and places you on a chair*
now now, you shouldn't be falling down like that, silly
if you fall like that again, you perhaps can't go on the trip
silver_tears
Oh I'm going, all packed and all
yerssot
just don't thumble when you have all the closets full of clothes packed on your back
silver_tears
funny yerssy
yerssot
I'm just concern for your well-being
crazy_c
I like the crap threads they're so.... pointless!
aliusjimbob
in the descripption of the off topic forum it says anything goes so y are there so many rules?
yerssot
so many rules? if the "registered" wasn't under your name, I would have guessed you signed up yesterday
Korri
as there is no offensive threads/posts and member bashing im happy
super daz 5000
i think u should close the crap threads like ave u ever used a vacuum
burlyman
#2 I suppose
Close the dull, ignorant, offensive, copycat threads
burlyman
But don't give OTF it's own mods
use globals diva disguise lady curlers
Korri
Mods
yerssot
like raz already said, there won't be any otf mods, just globals
Korri
yeah
burlyman
Okay I couldn't be bothered to read the whole thread
jeeze I'm not superwoman
yerssot
be catwoman and we have a deal
grrrrr
Be@st
Crap threads are the best. Good fights often start there
Raz
What the hell?? 81 votes?? That must be a record or something!
Anyway, I'm gonna read the whole thread tomorrow and post my conclusion.
silver_tears
no, Tex's poll had like 151
Raz
They were all Tex's socks
yerssot
all colored socks
silver_tears
I say we ban Tex.........
yerssot
I say we finally get those daily orgies going on!
silver_tears
*flies to England*
agreed.....
yerssot
