What the hell is going on?

[DaveW]

I was away for the weekend, and this is my first chance to get back on TBCS since...oh, Friday morning? 5 days guys, 5 freakin days, and this place has descended into flame wars, more SPAM than i can read, and all sorts of bull****.

I'm trying to sort through all the crap just now. But Jesus guys, i thought you could hang on for 5 days without tearing this place to pieces.

I've been monitoring the new users via email alerts and thought I had nipped the spam problem. But I've been too soft on the flame wars, trying not to be a hardass. :p

[DaJe]

By spam, do you mean the threads such as all those signiture threads?

[Guardian]

uhm..Did I do anything?

[Crimson Sky]

[AJ@PR]

If I were you, I'd stay out of this.


Dave,
Sorry buddy.
Guess this is yet more 'mod work'.

But the good ones, we're still here.

Let us know if we can help in anything!

:santa:

[DaJe]

Holy damn. Sigman actually has a negative rep, eh

[Crimson Sky]

I'm going to assign a couple of mods around here to help us out, if they are up to it.

[DaJe]

I'm willing to do some moderator work if needed. I seem to be here at all times anyway.

[Crimson Sky]

I'm not asking for volunteers, I'm choosing people who I think will kick ass and take names. But thanks!

[DaJe]

Yeah, I know you weren't asking. But I was just letting you know if you were thinking of me, you don't even have to ask ;)

[AJ@PR]

DaJe has my vote. :)

Wow... this thread is moving so fast, it's almost a chat.

Lots of good people here that can help you guys out.

But, recollecting on this situation, I guess this comes with 'growing pains'.

Wow... TBCS keeps growing and growing... w00t !

[DaveW]

That's a good idea Crimson. I noticed that you've been keeping an eye on things too. ;)

-Dave

[Crimson Sky]

AJ you have mail

[Ticien]

I am pretty new here and I do post a lot...I am trying to be hlpful but I hope that I am not part of the problem...if anything I am doing is inappropriate by all means I will cut it out.

[LiTHiUM0XiD3]

[Crimson Sky]

AJ@PR & Airbozo are the new sheriffs in town. I kindly ask that you folks respect their moderation decisions as you would mine or Dave's.


Dave we missed you!

[DaveW]

Stupid question, but I haven't contributed to spam, etc. have I?

[FPMachine]

I as well am a new user here and I have read the rules and can easily identify the flame wars. However I am not certain on the spam. what was considered spam and what is allowed? In the Chatterbox are off topic posts not really allowed? or was this something else?

I didn't know I couldn't post "free coffee"

[DaJe]

Just make sure you don't post "hot coffee" ;)

[Drum Thumper]

Just make sure you don't post "hot coffee" ;)

Unless you're modding a coffemaker into a computer...

And don't tell me no one other than me has tinkered with that idea!

[Guardian]

That would accually be a pretty good mod

[ steals idea and runs /]

[Crimson Sky]

I didn't know I couldn't post "free coffee"

In a Hot Hardware Deals section? Shouldn't that be a partial to no-brainer?

Or you could have added it to YOUR OWN (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7020&highlight=coffee) thread on the same damn subject. Jeeze.

One of the first mods (http://petebevin.com/archives/2003/07/28/caffeine_machine.html)to garner attention on the web. Years old

[Guardian]

I don't want to start a huge debate so excuse me but Off-topic stands for anything OFF the topic of computer modding, not neccisarily limited to computers?

[Airbozo]

One of the first mods (http://petebevin.com/archives/2003/07/28/caffeine_machine.html)to garner attention on the web. Years old

And this one went in the exact opposite direction, turning one of sgi's first desktop systems into and espresso machine...

Congrats AJ and Airbozo.
Welcome back Dave.

[FPMachine]

I don't know paul.... so yeah I have no idea. I understand the spirit of what you are saying however.

That is the second time I have seen somone explain how to act on these forums with what would Paul say? and again the answer is NO IDEA.

[Guardian]

Alright alright enough of this mushy stuff, lets call it even and move on? Makes me feel like I killed somebody....

Can someone lock this topic?

[public_eyesore]

how about ew just make the chatterbox an area where posts dont increase? Then it wont matter if people say "hey who wants to make me a sig?' and only posts that pertain to the community increase the post number?
