[Locked] A question about "necrobumping"

Fag, tard, weeaboo. weeb, fucktard, the n word and it black use cousin n***a is common here... no one gives a *curse*.. it's all part of the game. Also the five black users and the couple of gay/bi/pan users(me included) that i know exist on this site.. some i know a little. don't care if the n word or fag in it so many different side words are use in good fun.. not epic nazi uses... Sisami excluded.. it's his new noun.

Plus you necrobump over ten that i seen.. in food and cooking alone.

an entire 3-4 pages in random is what I first noticed, but then I saw he was necroing in Food and Cooking as well as over a page of necros in the Love/romance section.

Like I said though, it isn't the inherent act of necrobumping threads that is annoying, it is the volume of it, and how it pushes new threads off of the front page, which is why I specifically notified him no to do it in the Writing section, since a bump off the front page is the end of most threads there.

Why does the volume matter? So what if some new threads get shoved back? Is it too much trouble to have to go back a few pages for new posts as if Fakku were an active forum? Le Shock!

I can't believe we're talking about this as if we want to punish a new member for posting too much, and people are actually -repping him for it. That's such a fantastic way of treating new members of Fakku.

And it sounds like you just caught with your pants down your legs with your private message. Whether or not that was right for him to post it in this thread or not isn't really the issue here, you've already shown your bias towards this situation.

*scoffs*
Who cares how we treat specific new members? If we hated new members as a whole than it would be a problem, but individual treatment of a user should be independent of their time spent in the site.

lol, pants down my legs? I mean what I say in the pm, and seeing that it affected him enough that he felt the need to go post it and complain made me hard.

My bias? You mean how I don't want him to spam in serious sections? Oh lawd, how are you ever going to deal with my heavy bias?

EDIT: Also, the volume matters because the front page is as far as many users look in a forum, and in certain forums, having an important thread moved off of the front page could be important. (Fictional Example: You post a thread in the relationship section asking for immediate advice on a situation, but HP bumped it to the middle of the second page, and so you don't have anything waiting when you wake up hoping for some advice from the forum, and by then it is too late to bump it and get some feedback)

And the laziness of members is reason enough for new members to have some kind of sanction from posting so much that they aren't allowed to bump things off the first page? Do you even read what you type out? It sounds ludicrous.

And who cares how we treat new members? That's a good stance. Maybe we should just put a big sign on the front of Fakku that says "You're new? GTFO!" Or fine, realistically, hide behind a veil of caring when a member steps on a few select members egos when they post too much.

Yeah, because Writings is so important that we don't dare make someone have to fish around that board for the stories they want. I love how you lay claim to that board after a handful of dumb contests somehow made people realize "Oh, look, we had a Writings board?" And people wonder why veterans of that board like Joe-kun are pissed at the arrogant presumption of everyone involved in those contests.

What arrogant presumption? How is this relevant?

At the end of the day, even if he posted in reverse order to preserve thread order, people like me won't read 20 thread bumps by the same person, on the assumption that they will be mindless spam. Just limit yourself from now on.

mfw I think you must be retarded. It's not "bump a few things off of the first page" it's "replace the entire first page of a section with inane 'contributions' so that someone can raise their post count"

By your logic, why are there even rules about spamming? Why not just kill a bunch of threads so that I can get a bunch of posts in one day? It just comes down to consideration.

I specifically said that it would be a problem if we treated all new members like this as a standard, so I'm wondering if you even read my post:


Also, I don't "lay claim" to anything, and I can honestly not even begin to see where you could have gotten that assumption unless you simply post responses without actually reading what I write, which is looking more and more likely. Dumb contests? Sure the contests themselves may have caused a flood of poor writing that bumped everything around the writing section, but they also got attention to the forum and caused a few new members to make accounts and start solidly contributing (Xenon for example), and for that I think they were helpful.

I don't think you realize the near-zero degree of attention anything off of the front page in the writing section gets. Right now, threads there average about 8 responses, a few of which are usually from the thread creator, so lets cut that number down to 5, before it leaves the front page. After that, it is rare that it gets any more responses, unless the writer updates it or advertises it in their sig. Since almost every writing thread dies after leaving the front page, it is horribly insensitive to bump a ton of shit and bury anything on the front page in a deluge of old threads.

Am I a veteran of the writing section? No. I'm relatively new to the section.
Does that really matter? No.
Is Joe pissed off for any good reason? Not that I can see. He seems to do fine in the section, and maybe if he explained his dissatisfaction himself I would understand, but currently, I can't see the reason.

The reason I am using the writing section as an example, and telling HP not to spam there, is that it is fundamentally different from every other board, and should be handled accordingly. If you feel the need to babble more nonsense about me "claiming the writing section" or me saying we should hate new users, or that somehow everyone will suddenly change and look through pages upon pages of each section to find a thread that they missed, please feel free to think before posting this time.

Yeah, like the consideration you've clearly shown me by harassing me unnecessarily, and using VERY offensive labels. Frankly, it's hypocritical to bother coming after me for anything I've done, when you have no problems breaking the forum's rules to suit your own agenda.

There are rules and then there are Rules. Learn the difference.

Also, I don't care about consideration to you because I don't think I need to, as you haven't done anything to deserve it.

Easy enough to understand? Good. I think we're done here.

EDIT: "VERY offensive labels"? lol, if you think "OP is a faggot" is offensive (It's practically a term of endearment in IB) then you need to take Cormac's advice and grow a thicker skin. Also: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/op-is-a-f-t

I honestly don't care if it is a 4chan meme. This is not 4chan, and the term "fag" / "faggot" is offensive and unacceptable, no matter how you slice it. You clearly have broken rules with your conduct towards me, and there is no reasonable excuse for it.

The purpose of me making this thread was so that I could understand if it was alright, given my posting guidelines, to necrobump, since you made it explicitly clear, in an extremely unnecessary way, that I shouldn't do it. I got the permission, this probably wounded your ego, and so you figured it'd be worth it to threaten me.

Fact is, I'm very glad I made this thread, it served a clear purpose, and your "op is a faggot" meme does not apply, according to the definition of the link you sent me.

It's hilarious that you parade yourself around like some passenger seat mod, when you aren't one. Have you taken my advice to go outside for some fresh air yet?

[font=Verdana][color=green]I can't actually believe the pettiness of some people on these forums. Before you even try to justify your actions of "Oh, I'm trying to uphold the rules" the point remains that no rules have been broken. No rules have been broken, therefore all the useless sniping at Hentai Pantsu is completely unjustified and may even border on rule breaking in itself.

People complain when people don't post on the forums, yet the same people also complain when people spam on the forums. Yes, I am looking at some people in this thread when I say this. So, when a member happens to stroll by and post a fair few posts, each having input to the thread itself and not a simple sentence responses of which we are all guilty of, he get's lambasted? No, that is completely disgraceful and makes me severely question some people on these forums.

Some users really need to lighten up; on many other forums I frequent this user would be welcomed with open arms. More posts = more activity = more users joining the active forums = more money through the advertising. Looking at it strictly financially, he is the perfect type of user. Maybe you don't see that? Either either, he's enjoying himself which is all we can really ask.

My two pence in this charity box of a case.

It is actually acceptable here(lol I typed "is" twice).

As proof, I have a quote from the Jacob I'd like to share:

[Jacob]: we dont have any panels for AX yet
[Jacob]: and besides sindalf aren't you a faggot? why would we let you be on a panel with us
[Sindalf]: you should get around to that
[Jacob]: at least that's what everyone tells us

Almost everyone here use the word faggot. Whether it be a term of endearment or a insult. You should lighten up about it.

On the topic of necro-bumping(Since I ignored it with my initial post):

I agree that it's perfectly fine to post a lot/necro if said post/posts contribute something of value to the topic(most of yours seem to). However, I will say that Grover does seem to put fourth a good argument against "spamming" in the writing section. So I would advise against that. I would also say that you should pull it in a little as far as posting a lot goes. It is a bit disconcerting to see 7 new post by the same user in one section.

This basically speaks volumes for some of the reasoning behind why I have been posting the way I have, I am making an explicit point of adding value to the forum as a whole, but it really looks like some people do not understand that. It's nice to see that you do, and I appreciate your input.

Please don't just latch onto the sympathetic posts and ignore the critical ones; you'll just piss people off before anyone really knows you. Few here are faulting your intentions, but this posting spree has caused problems, simple as that.

We're not going to get a hard and fast rule out of this, it's just a case of gauging opinion, which has happened already: you've said that you won't post again on that scale. I think we're pretty much done here.

y u do dis? Going to keep this short and sweet.

1.) Dude, you're necrobumping like crazy. Your posts are fine but just slow it down a bit.

2.) If you harass a user for simply posting, I will step in. We all joke and call people names but if you take it too far I'm going to ban you.

3.) I am awesome.

To add, necrobumping is fine as long as you're necrobumping with a relevant post.
