damn wankers. - Page 3

I think threads should be archived when they're entertaining to re-read. That wasn't. Sure, maybe it was fun to post in, but in reading it (skimming, whatev) it wasn't really that great.

So uh. There's my two.

Cents, that is. Swimmin' pools, movie stars.

The difference between that thread and wankers is timing and member participation. Of course, most of wankers is badly done spam compared to the other thread. And that is my opinion of course.

Ha. That, as many before me have pointed out, is not for you to decide.

I would agree. It's not my decision to make, it's the staff member's who decide to archive the thread. And of course, another staff member can remove the thread from archives at any point, so any thread archived is not safe from staying there permanently.

Read the above two posts and this to boot. Just because you get uncomfortable around the word blowjob doesn't people will stop using the word. People pass out at the sight of blood, yet there are graphic pictures. Get a grip. You're not gonna block your ears every time someone says a naughty word.

I know, but isn't EoFF supposedly a "family-friendly" environment? wankers seems a bit too "risque" to be even stay opened if words like that popped up now and then.

Of course I would know. I usually don't participate in spam, because I choose not to.

Anyway, MAPS was a good thread. Why? Because those who participated enjoyed it very much. wankers was a good thread. Why? Because those who participated very much. Now, this does not necessarily mean they should be archived, but I will be getting to that. But it does mean you should at least treat the thread with respect.

It may be a good thread, but it's still spam and spam is spam, no matter if it's good or not. Some is acceptable, but when it goes out of hand, it's too much. Of course, that's just my opinion, and I stick to it.

But really, when so many people want certain threads to be archived, what right have you got to delete them just because you don't like them? None. Jerk.

Actually, the staff has the complete right to do whatever they want with any thread.

(Granted, everything posted in there was pointless, but not the point that "blowjobs" was)

I haven't read the whole thread, but I didn't see it was worth reading all the way through after the first page.

Shu sums it up pretty well.

The difference is Linus and we all know it.

In theory, yes. But it does strain the relationship between the members and the staff. Although I suppose they enjoy that, as then they would have nothing to do with their time, what with Feedback dead and all.

What strain? I don't see a huge upset over a staff decision about wankers. I see nik0tine, and the others who follow suit, and that's not a big strain between staff and the members. It would only be a problem if what happened during April Fool's was to happen again.
