Though, there's a difference between scaring people to be annoying and posting obvious fake Smashdojo-postings on the User Blog section of SWF. I have no idea how you could draw such a line.
Besides, I prefer these fake blogs over threads like "I changed my avatar" or crap like that.
I prefer REAL blogs over 50% of the crap here. I'm not saying "I changed my avatar" or "I'm going to be playing SSBB FOREVER!" is any better than this. It's probably a little worse. But the guy's just trolling and he's not funny.
All you do is *****ing how the User Blog boards are "abused" for spammy stuff, but come on. Don't you have anything better to do? You're trolling the people who are not posting "proper blogs". You should marry Cinder, cause he's just exactly the same.
Before you make sweeping generalizations like that, try to actually see my posts, hm? Instead of accusing me of constantly complaining about them being abused for spammy stuff.
If I can be accused of doing nothing but complaining about spam, maybe it's because people here do nothing but put out spam for me to complain about?
I am not trolling. Trolling = "Being a prick on the internet because you can. Typically unleashing one or more cynical or sarcastic remarks on an innocent by-stander, because it's the internet and, hey, you can."
I'm saying something because...it'd be nice if there weren't spam on the forum? And don't even say "YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT IT LOL". Because by that logic, people should post pornography because no one technically has to look at it. Or they can just type random characters constantly because no one has to look at it.
And wow, a "You should marry *person/thing*" statement? I don't think I've heard one of those since elementary school. You're a funny one.
I got a chuckle from that posting here, and from the others, as well. If it's at least entertaining to some (and there ARE people who found it entertaining) and not hurting anybody, I see no reason to not let him post his fake dojo postings. We all know he's not real, so why not just let him?
Okay. Let me see if I can explain something to you.
Just because people find something entertaining, does not mean it's good at all. Maybe it just means you have low standards for entertainment and "humor".
Just because Nickelback sold 7 million or whatever albums, that doesn't mean they're great. It could just mean 7 million people are dumb as hell. (I stole that concept, I couldn't find the exact quote.)
If you find a lack of rules, as well as the presence of spam, funny, go to 4chan. Seriously.
If these postings here would be that wrong, I suppose a mod would close them. It's not like it hasn't happened before. Not to mention the posts stopping to get counted.
Stop trying to be the forum police and let people enjoy themselves.
Post count being disabled is a start. But rules aren't in place just so people don't get extra posts, believe it or not.
There is no official mod to this forum. So no, mods aren't closing threads consistently. It doesn't mean they're not close-worthy, it just means that it requires a Super Mod or Admin coming in and closing the threads. After all, "Play SSBB Forever" went on for 70+ pages before it got closed. It was the same thing from page 1 all the way to the end, so it's not as if there was some awful change requiring it to be closed. I don't expect mods to have no lives and be lurking the forums and close threads immediately; however, the argument that the threads aren't getting closed so they're okay is not legitimate.
As for not being "forum police", I'm sorry I'm upset by the presence of spam. Again. If you like spam and just want to "enjoy yourself" and post and read spam, go to 4chan. I personally am a fan of actually intelligent discussion, but I guess I'm just some crazy weirdo, right?
