Sorry for this... I know it should be in the Watchtower but BKS is the Frontroom Floydian....
I don't want to offend you BKS, but I think you're a bit to harsh with the guys.... Of course, the posts with"Post your email" should be locked but for example, the one with Speak Bartixan, nooo.....
What do you guys think?!
bartix is always funny. how ever, we already have an open bartix thread(the first was closed). Do we really need another?
Though i still think it should have been left open ~D
I've always thought he was a bit ham-handed with shutting spam threads down here, but hey. He's the boss and they aren't threads I care about, anyway.
Pfft, BKS is fine, a great mod!
This should be in the watchtower.
(And no, hes done a good job.)
No one said he was a bad mod, I think he's quite good. Maybe trigger happy, but a good mod.
I hope he locks this thread. +1
I think that BKS is doing a fine job. :bow:
Wouldnt that look rather heavy handed ? ~;)Quote:

Nm.
He should definitely lock it. Go BKS go!
I thought it annoying, but I wasn't being forced to read it.
That said, harsh is GOOD. Who here wouldn't want to be called name the Harsh?
Do not speak ill of BKS. :no:His policies are firm but fair.
Lets see. Not really to be honest if you want to up post count through spam theres the 1 word story thread. So in the case od spam BKS is not being harsh. But still you should never close a thread on Bartix. Never. Bartix rocks!:guitarist:
I'm not going to lock this, as I'm concerned that people think I'm being unfair. I'd like to rectify that.
To be fair to the original poster, the Bartix thread was the only thread I've closed in a while as spam that I actually paused for thought over. But, I have to make a judgement call, and I did. I'll repeat my mantra-if you want to raise your post count, do it in the OWS, or one of the picture threads-not by the typing of what I imagine is nonsense to most members.
See BKS copied what i said. I told you I was right!~;)
P.S Bartix Rocks!
P.S.S Post count +1 ~;)
How typical: a thread about spam threads turns into spam. :end:
There is such a thing as quality control. Though this is the Light & Airy forum, that does not mean that every "Post your favorite minute of the day" thread has to be allowed to run.
It is not simply BKS who should be held responsible, but the posters as well.
Napoleon said a good plan today is better than a great plan tomorrow. But that was war, this is social discourse. Here it could be said that a great thread tomorrow is far better than a mediocre one today.
nah, it's all good. besides, it's not like he came into the bartixian thread and just closed it.. he did it in bartixian! style has to count for something.
Hear! Hear! :balloon2:Quote:

BKS is IMO not harsh enough when it comes to some of these weird threads, but that's just me.
i say BKS is a great mod and my only beef with his modding is that he does not close each and every spam thread immediately
Frontroom was so much better before the "culture of spam" took it over
i say, ban all spam from this site. period.
I see some pretty crazy threads in the frontroom right now(name of alien kid), so no definetly not harsh, though Bartix is funny there is already two open threads about it right now, so enough is enough...
John McEnroe Voice: Harsh? You've got to be joking
Pape impersonating Vader...
'FFFt Check FFFt out the size FFFt of these FFFTT Bricks' :smash: :smash: ~:eek:
Nah, BKS had to put his foot down at one point and maybe at some point he will ease off a bit, but he is a great mod and is not being too harsh.
nice, me tooQuote:

I like the occasional silly thread in the Frontroom (and after all the Frontroom is the platform for this) - but when more than 50% of the Frotroom threads are variations of the same silly spam topics it gets annoying and boring.
If people start a light-hearted thread because they found something funny or if they make a poll to find out more about the people of the org that's fine - if useless threads are frequently only started to increase postcount and/or to get some attention and if these threads contain nothing else than senseless spam - than, IMHO, they should by all means be closed.
let's be honest, the bartix thread is pure spam. check BKS' spam policy - it deserved to be closed.
too bad this thread is being spammed by some patrons. it was meant serious.
...
No comments on forum rules.... And I do not plan to leave this forum.....Quote:

Eddy,
So sorry for my last post. I don't know why I was so rude. I didn't mean most of it and will edit that post. Hope it never happens again. :embarassed:
I should've said 'BKS spam policy'. Plus in fact I agree with you, I also think that is a little bit too hard.Quote:

I don't think BKS is harsh. Tbh, the Bartix thread was nonsense to me, because you have to work out each word, and I'm not familiar with the language.
P.S. May I just applaud BKS on the way that he closed that thread.
I was not referring to this particular thread as spam, but to the ones that BKS closed.Quote:

Rob, you go after that spam like you're a rocket wielding Jug hunting panzers! :charge:
No problems, Drisos....Quote:
