mInhaairyASS U SUCK I WANT MY FREE SPEACH LOL!11 :twisted: :evil: :evil: :evil:
This is about the only forum I know of where you're allowed to do this. :D
I'm just gonna take a real wild stab in the dark here but I think M1n and Q here have THE EXACT SAME IP ADDRESS. Donno, just a thought. I don't have too many of those thought thingys very often so I gotta take advantage of them when I can.

Why this whole thread hasnt been removed yet, Im not sure,... this is a total waste of forum space
Time for some Moderators to do a lil moderating, and distinguish of this annoying ignorant stuff.
No really, I was just real bored.
I'm trying to prove a point that the guidelines aren't good enough. If this isn't found innappropriate then something is definitely wrong. Most forums have a "no crap" policy. (ie, leet speak, illegible crap, general space wasting nonsense) People here will probably object to such a rule, because it violates their "free speech".
That's bullshit.
Elvis or any one of the mods will probably never implement a no crap policy because it doesn't please absolutely everyone. If you try pleasing everyone, you end up pleasing no one. Sure, right now you're satisfying little idiots with nothing better to do by giving them the ability to create crap (basically spam) like this. However, what about the literate, smart, civilized people that actually might have something contributive to say on this forum? The have to wade through piles of crap. Are the pleased? Fuck no. I'm not.
Maybe it's not such a big problem right now, but if winbolo ever gets bigger, or WANTS to get bigger, then the crap needs to stop now. All online games and their forums have to deal with this. They do fine. Why can't we?
Which is why I opt for a "no-crap" policy, and use this as a demonstration of a type of thread which is just plain, un-needed bullshit. WE need to stop wish-washiness and get our shit together. If this ever wants to go anywhere. Maybe it's just a little online game. But it could become something much more. Which is why something needs to be done. Now.
P.S. Maybe a "junk drawer" thread that doesn't appear on the frontpage, as Nova suggested? That way, we can still have fun, make jokes, fuck around, and no one can care.

Disclaimer: I'm fuggin' tired but I feel like posting anyway.
My idea was an entire forum, actually. And I think that'd work out for the best. If a mod doesn't think that a thread is appropriate then they can move it to the junk drawer. I can't imagine why anyone would bitch about this, but it's worth at least a shot. If it somehow doesn't work out (best-laid plans of mice and men 'n' all that) we could re-vote and make it the way it was.
Maybe this can apply to stupid posts, too. Get rid of the post, but put the "unabridged" version in the Junk Drawer.
And as a sidenote, Q, if you want to make a point about something don't do what you're trying to lobby against. The biggest problem in this world is that people don't understand that when you do something, you promote it. Or, at least, they don't really care. I'm not saying that this kills the cause for a junk drawer thread, it's just been an issue in the back of my mind that's been nagging me.

Thread.. forum... I get em confused. A junk forum. That's what I meant. I'm not sure putting "unnabridged" copies of topics in a seperate forum is a good idea. Too much extra space taken up because of one bad post. We're trying to cut the crap, remember? I think bad posts in an otherwise fine topic would be moved to the mod only forum where they could be voted on for deletion.
However, some rules should still apply to the junk drawer forum. We don't want it to just to be full of hentai pr0n, computer virus downloads, advertising, ect. We would, however, be allowed to goof around, go off topic, l33t speak, and all that crap. So, a more appropriate term would be an "off topic" forum.
Oh and Nova, I wanted to see at first if the mods would do anything about it, and if not I would post this request. I realise I could have brought up any one of the stupid threads that were made on this forum as an example. But where's the fun in that? :D
I realize you were just having fun, Q, I wasn't ragging on you or anything.
By the way, I don't think this thread could technically be called spam. Spam is "non-solicited advertising". This was "junk" before you clarified that you were making a point.
(See my post on non crapped thread) (I've decided things like this would just move to general chat.)
now it took me 2 fuckin hours of my life to read wtf u said Q!!!! ;)
Trolling as a Min clone is pretty hilarious.
Now if only Elvis would reveal who the IP belongs to, as only someone who has been in the community for awhile would actually want to upset Min.
u kno i totally showed him whos boss LOL
