member's this site is not google

[thesheriff443]

Member's are treating this site like its google, im all for helping someone out but its getting too much.

[Ammi]

..that's a bit cryptic Sheriff...I don't know what you mean, can you explain a bit more..?...

[thesheriff443]

..that's a bit cryptic Sheriff...I don't know what you mean, can you explain a bit more..?...

more and more thread's being made asking question's that you can find on google without the need to make a thread on this site asking the same question.

[Vanessa]

You've got a point, sheriff! :hugesmile:

..that's so clever lol..like when someone takes over your laptop remotely...

[Niamh.]

I don't see the problem tbh atleast people are making threads

[Black Dagger]

Urgh.

People can ask whatever questions they like on here.

Don't dictate for us. K thanks.

Oh speaking of that we got a call from "Microsoft" last night telling us there was a problem with our computer they'd like to fix :suspect:

its a two way street,

[thesheriff443]

well im telling you now it's not google!

[Suze]

General chat/chat means just that doesn't it, general chat/chat? I don't see that it mattters what the subject content of a thread is for the most part, we can cherry pick which threads we want to read surely. Maybe some members would rather just ask opinions of others than google every question. Plus, every forum has what some would consider nonsense threads, so I just don't see a problem, unless it's a spambot, and some of their threads aren't that bad :joker:

[Petershaw1984]

this
it keeps the forum busy

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=jesus.h.christ+thisisbigbrother.com

Well I'll think you'll find that although it might not be google, it has me on here, which makes it 61.76890% cooler than google.

I love that the first link is a conversation between Jesus and Sassy Claus.

[AnnieK]

Its not google, you're quite correct but it is a public forum with a section for off topic chat and banter so I don't quite see what the problem is really? If I don't like / have interest in a thread I move along and view another...

[Niamh.]

so any old rubbish will do as long as this site look's busy?

I really don't see why the things you're talking about annoy you so much, you don't need to post in those threads if you don't like them

that's good so do the same with mine

[Jesus.]

Can we ban or swear filter the word "banter", and give anyone using it a weeks ban? Apart from Annie this once, as the new rule has only just been introduced. From now.

Is there a reason to be rude? I was giving my opinion and it differs from yours but I was saying what I do in threads. I was not even saying you have to "move along", merely it is what I do.

You may feel you have the right to speak to the younger members of the forum about respect and so I feel I have the right to remind you that respect is a two way street.

they dont annoy me, im giving my opinion on them.

[Ammi]

..the thing is Sheriff that you started a thread asking a question..maybe some people would think that it's the sort of question you could have asked privately to the mod team to verify what the rules were on threads or explain if something has offended you...but you made a thread instead and it's created posts and activity...if you had done it differently then we would probably all not have anything to post in this morning...so in a way it's a good thing, right..?...

....someone made a thread a few days ago about the number of members online yet no one was posting...that's not a good thing because the forum could die if that happens... so it seems better to have some activity and hopefully if different members start threads then there'll be 'something for everyone' as well...

im saying the same to you as you said to me!, but mine was short and to the point!, dont try and turn this into an issue of respect.

[Vanessa]

I find those threads pointless. They're harmeless, but they just don't interest me in the slightest. To each their own i guess! :hugesmile:

It absolutely is an issue of respect though. I do not take kindly to being spoken down to or having assumptions made about hidden meanings in the posts I make. I am not a kid and if that was what I was trying to say I would say it. I was merely saying what I do when I see a thread that has no interest to me which I thought was the point of this thread?

you believe you have been spoken down to not me!
i said the same to you as you said to me pure and simple if you dont like that then that's not my problem.

[Benjamin]

I concur, this may not be Google, but people are allowed to make threads asking questions for help, (even if it isn't my cup of tea), I do it all the time.

[Ammi]

..no, I'm not preaching at all or trying to remind you of the rules...you made a thread about this which has created activity on the forum this morning and if you hadn't then it possibly would have been very quiet, so that's a good thing isn't it..?...other people are doing the same though..maybe they could find things out on google but if they did then we would have much less to post in here...I think that no activity is the worst thing...I think it's a good thing you started the thread and am glad that other people do but I wish more people would as well....

you dont need to remind me of the rule's you would do better with the member's that keep getting banned for breaking them!

[LemonJam]

you're right this is a big brother forum, close it down til summer guys.

[Niall]

I haven't really seen an abundance of threads which are just questions, so I fail to see why this is such a big issue?

[thesheriff443]

I concur, this may not be Google, but people are allowed to make threads asking questions for help, (even if it isn't my cup of tea), I do it all the time.

well if you where more creative with thread's than posting anything that jump's into your head the forum would not be dead,

[Jesus.]

you dont need to remind me of the rule's you would do better with the member's that keep getting banned for breaking them!

Ammi isn't reminding you of the rules, she's talking about forum activity. I think you're probably closer with the people who are banned more frequently, so maybe you could help them out.

dont take the p*ss,one person i know is banned,

[Ammi]

you dont need to remind me of the rule's you would do better with the member's that keep getting banned for breaking them!

..yeah but they've been banned for breaking rules so 'issue' has already been taken with them..I'm not sure what you're trying to say ...this thread like many other threads could be seen as 'not necessary'..but if those threads didn't exist at all then there would be virtually no forum...

[Vanessa]

Why? We can also chat about non BB related stuff. :conf:

your post trying to preach to me about rule's is not necessary, but you did post in the wiping your bum thread, so you dont care any way

[arista]

your post trying to preach to me about rule's is not necessary, but you did post in the wiping your bum thread, so you dont care any way


Good Point

[AnnieK]

you believe you have been spoken down to not me!
i said the same to you as you said to me pure and simple if you dont like that then that's not my problem.

We will agree to disagree then, if you read my post properly it was about what I do but you read what you want into it, I really do have better things to do than argue on here...

[Ammi]

your post trying to preach to me about rule's is not necessary, but you did post in the wiping your bum thread, so you dont care any way

..if you read my post in there then you know that I commented on the 'weird and wonderful' of the variety of threads and topics on TiBB and not the topic itself...it may not have been 'my sort' of thread but some members had fun with it and that's the point really...I'm not trying to preach to anyone and escpecially about what threads they make because if they don't interest me then I wont post in them...but when people are bored because it's quiet and they make what other people may see as a 'silly thread' then at least it creates an interest in the forum and the amount of interest it gets will dictate whether it's 'silly' or not anyway....if it gets 0 posts the yeah, well it probably was abit silly....

[Jesus.]

your post trying to preach to me about rule's is not necessary, but you did post in the wiping your bum thread, so you dont care any way

Didn't you post in that thread, too?

Good Point

How is it?

[Ammi]

Good Point

..no it was not a good point Arista..I didn't comment on the topic of that thread but on the fact that we have 'weird and wonderful' threads on TiBB so it was not a good point at all...maybe not commenting on topics is not really in the spirit of things because we are supposed to stay on topic aren't we...but I think taking things off i.e. not contribute but just snipe at members is probably the worst thing and at least I didn't do that.....did I Arista..?...

[Glenn.]

Since when weren't we allowed to post threads about anything and everything?

I must of missed that memo somewhere down the line :rolleyes:

..actually I'm glad LJ reminded me of the word 'sarcasm' because I have not been either sarcastic or insulting/offensive in this thread at all...this thread has recieved over 50 posts this morning and my feelings are that sort of activity wouldn't have occurred on the forum without your thread, so for me it's a good thing which I stated from the beginning...the same can be said of any other posts you may be referring to..if they are 'silly' posts or unnecessary posts then no one will post in them but so long as they do create interest then the 'point' of them is very obvious ..I myself recall a sweetcorn thread recently which recieved far more posts than whether tinned sweetcorn was already cooked or not merited but that's because it created interest and became fun for lots of members...if people don't feel it's fun then there is always the option to not participate or report if you feel it breaks a rule...we all have those options....

....you seem so defensive in this that you have become offensive and failed to see that I was actually complimenting your thread as 'all threads are good threads' including yours, especially at quiet times ...unless they break rules of the forum or are designed to snipe at/offend members obviously....

yeah it's not really for you to decide, sheriff. off you pop.

[Amy Jade]

So long as it's not breaking any rules I fail to see the problem at all.

You do know you can simply ignore the topics you dislike? You don't have to read them or post a reply.

[King Gizzard]

I don't see the problem tbh atleast people are making threads

.

and it's nice to get peoples opinions on here that have probably had experience in the question you're asking, rather than going on google where it's probably not trustworthy

Dear god, people can post what they want to, and if you don''t want to see the threads, just don't read them

So now not only threads which descend into off-topic random chat in a random thread in Chat & Games which'll only last a couple of hours before dying off aren't allowed, but any thread which asks a question isn't either? I've got an idea...how about we all just sit and stare at the homepage of the forum and not make any threads? Fantastic idea, that'll give the forum plenty of activity.
