my 2 cents
alright, if we're being totally honest here and post what's bugging us about the forum lately, please let me express my opinion as well. It's not entirely the same subject as the post above, but it serves the same purpose:
While it might be that there's a bit of harsh and unfriendly behaviour lately, I honestly have to say it is not a big deal for me. But that's only because of my personal opinions and feelings. As for me, I'll respect that and will try to watch my behaviour a bit more carefully from now on. It's just that you get carried away sometimes...
But the point that bugs me is a completely different one:
It's a great thing that Meat Loaf is twittering and posting his video updates. But especially since he started posting again, the forum is spammed with suck-up-posts again. While he was away this was a place to discuss, but already in the first day of his return, it's hard to follow the actual discussion if it is interrupted by countless 'thank you for posting Meat' posts.
Spamming is a bad thing isnt it? I dont understand why it is tolerated in this case.
It was the same when he posted a few years ago.
It stopped when he left.
And now it's starting again.
If you feel the urge to thank Meat for something, then please pm him.
If one person posts such a thank you it's no big deal, but it get's very quickly out of hand. Suddenly there are posts from people who I havent seen posting in years, and probably wont see again until the next Fire Ball post appears.
And I can assure everyone that I'm by far not the only one who thinks this.
I'm sorry that this is not exactly what this thread is about, but I thought it was a good oprtunity to get this posted. And honestly, it bugs me at least as much as someone making a few jokes that get out of control.
I hope this will lead to a constructive discussion and not turn into a slagging match.
