don't you need spam posts to get to know each other/be friendly

i've seen the forums since mid 2008 and i can assure you spam was all well and good in its so called hey day

Will you guys stop spamming up this thread?

Every other minute there is a new post in here.

k, to me this touches another issue, that you, among others, are of the type who do not like to exchange ideas and just want to say what they have to say and "F" the rest.

How is that acceptable in a forum?

I understand that you consider it mundane or needlessly repetitive, but you still don't realize the point I'm making, the other side of the coin, and that's what makes this frustrating for me and for everyone in this thread interested in the topic.

Alot of people just don't want to read what other people have to say, and that gets considered spam.

I understand you have your own definition and its not to be challenged (iiuc), but that doesn't make sense in a forum. After all, we're here to exchange ideas.

I can understand that people don't like to argue, but where do you draw the line? Where is it just some guy not wanting to talk and driving down discussion, and when is it another that just wants to talk too much and drives discussion on too far?

And that is also part of the topic of spam, because that predisposition could cause someone to consider one thing mundane over another because maybe said person either doesn't like to argue, or said person does not like having their views challenged.

See, my guess is, you're telling yourself "I don't want to talk to this idiot anymore", even though what I'm saying makes sense. You just don't want to hear it, and consider it repetition, when in fact its at the heart of OP. Some people say some things are spam when they aren't, and that's been happening ALOT lately, what with old members thinking they are the shit and can talk/look down on other peoples' posts (don't worry I've had my share of bullying here). But in doing that, it causes you or others to consider things that are spam when actually it's the "I don't want to talk to you" attitude that is the problem, and it provokes the "Talk to me!" attitude in reply.

It is a bad thing for a forum imho. A forum deserves members who are and want to be engaged in discussion, and any contrary attitude to me leads to calling things spam when they are not.

"There really isn't any discussion to be had" I've heard this before, but it sounded like "and that's all there is to it", or "end of story".

Well, my question is, who died and made you boss? In other words, if there are things left to be said or answered, LET THEM BE SAID.

It's a forum after all.

Actually, much worse than spam posts, I think THIS is the real issue. Otherwise, we would have good members posting more and reducing the frequency of other members, and that would look better. Plus, some of such members have alot to share, alot of great insight, but they keep it too themselves because they can't be bothered to talk to morons. amiright?

okay i'm going to stop spamming now,honest,right afetr i've caught up with the brosnan reviews

You might want to proof read before you type.

I like what HappyD just wrote, and wish there was a like button because then I wouldn't need to express it in this post in a repetitive manner.

What HappyD wrote a few minutes ago is pretty interesting.

Though, the first few conversations were OT. That's what I was mainly talking about.

Rol said that he is going to start the NFL thread up early this year.

If you know what that mean you're an old school VGC member who knows how much we can lose with spam banning.
