Bragging rights and ego boost. Nobody likes having their ego deflated.

Yeah, then it's totally okay to wipe out the entire section, right?

Personally, I would just disable post count in this section, like Games. That's just my opinion.

[Blake]

Club revamp is a terrible idea. You're killing what people worked for. they actually put thought into what they made. If you notice, clubs that DO NOT have much thought put into them don't get very far.

BECAUSE THAT'S A TOTALLY VIABLE REASON TO DESTROY C&O.

Honestly, just get rid of post count if it's such a big deal. God.

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

I'm merely explaining, don't kill the messenger/interpreter.

Anyway, I would like to here more from both sides before I really consider it.

[Fusion X. Denver]

I agree with Black sorta.
If you guys want things to be stricter around Clubs, just have a board announcement declaring new rules. And if clubs don't shape up, they're locked.
Seems less time-consuming and accomplishes the same goal, doesn't it?

[Blake]

While I do get most of my posts from C&O.... I'd rather have Post Count shut off than have it reset. It is, as Nevert put it elsewhere, a medium for people to talk. Clubs are fine as is. You are having fun on the internet, God forbid. It's no different than RPs, or Cards. Heck, some CARD THREADS become discussions.

[Ice.]

Honestly, I see no apparent reasoning behind this at all. Can somebody please explain to me why people want to do this in the first place?

FD and Marble calling C&O a Hell Hole.

[Smesh]

For the lulz.


...No seriously, idk. Ask Flame.

[Ice.]

Oh please. And Games isn't a hellhole? What about CC?

If you don't know, why are you supporting it?

Jeez, you guys are being really illogical from what I've seen.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Here's what I don't get.
I'm willing to accept my viewpoint is wrong if logic backs it up but I wonder:
What's wrong with clubs getting off-topic? And why are these occasions considered spam?
I believe, so long as a discussion is ongoing with valid contributions being made, then how is it spam even if it's not on the main topic of the club?
I understand posts only containing stuff like "*bifurcates Fusion* TAKE THAT*" being spam as they contribute nothing, but otherwise, I believe those discussions to be non-spam and valid. People get off-topic all the time, and clubs form communities, so it's not like "spam" would bother anyone in the community since they're used to it. And if they are, then they simply stop posting.
This is obviously different than public threads, where spam hampers discussion and bothers other members. But I don't see the same thing applying to clubs.

Hell, wasn't clubs made to stop spam?

Because we all know that people aren't going to stick to one damn topic.

[Blake]

... Fusion, did you just make a jab at me? >_> I never simply bifurcate you without reason! *Bifurcates*

Seriously, it's no different than any other section! OOC RPs get off of the topic! General has topic Hijacks (Don't say it does not. I've seen where Dark's thread was turned into an "AMERICA SUCKS!" thread by JG. for a while)

See, there are two types of clubs.
Club A: Code Geass club by Techi. An utter spamhole.
Club B: Organization XIII. General discussion of Anime/Manga/Video Games/YCM.

Lock the spam clubs, not the good ones.

Black, they believe every/almost every club is a spam club.

Not a good move by saying that.

Did I say I supported it? I just said do it for the lulz. I wasn't being serious.

But eh. I just say if they have a problem, they can moderate it more frequently.

[Ice.]

Spam issue? Turn postcount off, like in games.
Moderation issue? Stricter rules.

Where in the name of hell is locking every club a viable solution?

[Clair]

Ice brings up a good point.

If you're going to say "lolclubswiped", it helps to have a better reason than "for the lulz". This club has the power to do some very real things for the forum.

Just saying.

[Blake]

I layed out the difference though.

Look at Organization XIII. The last page or two was Bleach discussion. Before that, YMB, Kingdom Hearts, etc.

Look at Code Geass. Geass fights.

@Clair: I know I do. <3

Ahh, much better.

Well then, lock those s*** clubs.

Almost every forum has a Spam section where people talk freely. Why can't C&O just become that?

[Sploda]

I can haz joinage since practically every other Club leader/ex-leader is here...

[Blake]

creator, you're in.

See, Ice knows what I mean! I'm not saying Geass fights are OK, I'm just saying discussion is. Actually look and see what Clubs are sheer spam, and which ones are not.

[Sploda]

@Black
Well then again that depends on that person's definition of Spam.

For all we know, if the topic is related to then title or something, then that person thinks it is spam.

Personally Spam for me is:

[/quote]

But people's views of spam are different. Therefore, you can't use spam as an argument unless it's complete utter crap posts.

Ex: "hi guys."

or

"lol"

as responses.

[Blake]

This is what I mean, then.

SPAM:
"*Uses Geass to make you stop existing*

HA."
"Hi guys."
"What's the topic?"
etc.


Not SPAM:
"Topic: Favorite Character from 5D's and why"
"I say Jack Effing Atlas, because he has Burning Soul and Red Nova Dragon."
"You forgot the fact that he punches out the main character and a thug."

Ice, this is why I need your help. /notadebater

[FTW (For The Wynn)]

No, Black is pretty right. I'm in Code Geass club, and I'll admit that place is insane...every time someone tries to fix it (myself, or a couple of other members) then someone else comes in and it falls back into spam and we all go with it.
