Who??? Admins and mods?

that is so true sunshine30 i totally agree:hug:

i sure they lowered the karma of the person they were targeting

I'm not questioning that, it's a great selection of Mods but personally, as great as they are on the forum, I don't think they should have excessive karma powers, favourtism will always come into at some point (even if it's not intentional, kind of :tongue:), especially as they'd have unlimited powers and could therefore dish it out as much as they wanted.

I know I'm shocked like you ! :conf2:

Post count should be gotton rid of, I've been a member of about 2 months and have only posted an average of about 5 posts a day.

Some members have been here for a matter of weeks, and are well on their way of 1000 posts!

But they have the right now to deal out a warning so it would just be an extension of that system.

But I do see your point about excessive karma dishing out.

But something needs to be done about the one word/one line spamming

Who lowered what????

im not saying they did but girth and mrluvluv probably did lowered the karma of the person they were targeting

And where's the problem ? The Karma system is here in order to "punish" the bad posters, and I don't think Luva is like you said, I know him. If he did low some karmas it was for good reasons.

Thats rather presumtous to assume that :shocked:

and thats blatant targeting of members which isnt allowed on this forum

and besides..... we are talking about post count and quality of posts.

People who keep posting just to get their post count up annoys me. Its not how many times you post a day, because someone can post LOADS a day, but still make interesting posts, but there seems to be alot of members (not just new ones), that post just for teh sake of posting and it annoys me

well said officialsuperstar :hug:

I do agree, some posts like "lol" do annoy me so much ! It's so weird !
Fortunatly great members and good posters are still there in order to keep TIBB as I knew it.

Some people did reproach me to blame the new members, but I'm sorry when I read what's happening with them, I have to say what I'm thinking and some did agree with me.

Old members shouldn't be embarassed anylonger to post and to express their opinions, weird members won't make the laws !

Yeah, they can dish out a warning if members break the rules but by adding this new ''karma power'' then they have the power to add or deduct as they please whether they break the rules or not. Whearas with the warnings, they have to have a valid reason, i.e. somebody breaking a rule of the forum.

Something does need to be done definatly but not excessively where people right ''X to win'' and they get a warning for not giving a 3 line response as to why.

FYI Nodis had his karma turned off so it would have been impossible even if I had thought of such a thing, And there was no "vendetta". Nodis was a nasty peice of work who brought the forum down. Just so you are clear on that.

Throughout my time on this forum there has always been a small minority of posters who do just post for the sake of it, rather than than think thoroughly about their replies it just ends up being silly stuff with the sole intention of boosting post count, I just don't understand people's obsession with getting a massive post count through posting crap replies, it's only a number and it's not going to gain you any favour with the other members here, you'll just end up annoying people with silly replies that add nothing to a thread.

The changing of how post count is displayed has played a part in stopping people being silly in their replies but it's still not stopped others.

I think people need to think a little more before they post, something I've seen recently creeping in is people posting in topics about things of no interest to them, it's just a reply of"I don't like it".Why!?

Why...exactly...... I always want to follow silly quick answers with..... "why???"

Because thats how a debate continues.I have noticed so many threads die and wither down the list because people respond with short posts that dont bring anything to the topic..... its even happened in this thread :rolleyes:

And you said you aren't targetting anyone, just read the rules, what you said and what you have done is against the TIBB rules, actually you do annoy me ! :thumbs:

I'm sorry, but that's just not nice.

There's nothing more worse than targeting members, and that's exactly what you have done in your post.

I suggest you should apologise to postandpollmad i'm sorry but that was out of order.

well said there Callum he shouldn,t have said that really :sad:

He shouldn't of said it but i understand why he has said it, that's all i have to say.

I have been a member since april, and i only post when i feel necessesary.
Now Big Brother is over i usually only post in the Games area.

Over-Excessive posters, take note.

And lets not target Chris, he has his opioions, and he let them out, even if it was a tad unesasary,.

Ohhh Holy Moly Sorry I Diddent mean it in the wrong way its just randome posts are stuped and I wanted to get my Point accross but I diddent mean it in a bad way

Someone keeps bringing threads up that are out of date like "jonty to win" What do you think of david? if these are not posts counts why are these threads coming out?
