Icy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 [quote name='tdloe' timestamp='1294450412' post='4918839'] Exactly. Why have all of that SPAM in a good section when you could put all of it into 1 section? [/quote] I just noticed a serious flaw in this. If it's SPAM, then it shouldn't be allowed. If it's given its own section, then that section as a whole should not be allowed. Ergo, having a section for Joke Cards is against the rules and this idea is terrible.

Icy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 That's kind of the role of moderators isn't it? If that's the case we'd have a section for every little niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 When you want a new section to hoard a problem that is already against the rules from happening. You end up giving it a home and causing the problem to get larger. That only makes the problem worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<}Alpha Frogodile{> Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Let me make this clear: the idea isn't to stop stupid posts and spam. The idea is to stop it from clogging up the rest of the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleZone Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 From the moment it has its own section, it becomes permitted fun that needs standard regulation just like any part of the site. Take the Games section of General. It's essentially a legalized spamhole where people go to have [i]fun[/i]. Making joke cards is a possibility the Card Maker grants. Why not have fun and take advantage of it? Isn't it why everyone joins the forum in the first place, to have as much fun as the rules allow? I don't mind such a section at all, as long as the "jokes" are kept civil. Then again, I don't moderate the section and I can't even begin to imagine the amount of trouble CC Mods go through. From an outside perspective, it seems to me that allowing Joke Cards to have their own section would result in less work than nowadays, when mods have to delete threads and warn people each time they post such cards, simply because there just isn't a right section for them.

[/quote] Member posts Joke Card Thread > Thread is Locked Member keeps posting Joke Card Threads > Threads are deleted Member persists > Gets sent a PM detailing as to why they are wrong Member persists more > Gets a ban. It's simple, methodical and the members know to remind them it's against the rules. A thread is a blessing, and you do not ask for more when you are blessed or be dealt a heavy hand.

Flaring Rose Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 There is no point of making a whole section for joke cards. Most new members make high leveled or insainly powerful monsters and think they are realistic. They will keep posting their cards untill their is a automatic lock system for joke threads. This will just be a waste of time. No support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattleite Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I support. Most of my joke cards in the thread are ignored.... it would be extremely helpful to have a thread all to myself Agree completly with MarbleZone, Joke Card Section could be a place where people can review cards based on Humor and Fun rather than balance. And if it's too much trouble... let me mod the Joke Cards [size="1"]Just Kidding... although that would be cool[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheComposer Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I agree. People are gonna make joke cards anyway, and they'll just post them in AoC because they won't know where else to post them (a thread in Games, a non-cc section with a thread for cards? I don't think many newbs are gonna find that) and that's what has made AoC the joke it is. If joke cards had its own section or sub-section, and it didn't add to the post count like games, it would reduce the spam in legitimate sections, and there will be less people yelling at newbs who post joke cards in AoC like "YOU STUPID N00B, DON'T YOU KNOW WE HAVE A JOKE CARD THREAD? GET A BRAIN!" "Oh, but we'll just warn them" Yes that will completely stop them from yelling at newbs just like it does now [/sarcasm] Maybe when pigs fly. I think it reduce work for mods too, because they wouldn't have to lock as many joke card threads in AoC, so I don't see why you would be against it Icy. In addition, it would give new members a place to first post in a regular card section, and when they post a bad card they're met with, "OH MY GAWD, YOUR CARD SUCKS, YOU FAIL AT CARD MAKING AND LIFE. 0/10" It would allow them to post unrealistic cards first and get to know the forum better. A new member doesn't have fun getting made fun of for making bad cards, they have fun making cards they like, and it will give them a good spot to post those, and get the proper reaction for it.
