Some users, I won't name names, seem to have joined this forum just to build posts via general chat. One member I just checked has not one single webmaster related, seo, computer, or anything in the spirit of this forum, related post after 400 posts. I know it's not gonna fly, but there should be some rule about only posting in GC and P&R. I know what you are thinking, just ignore that section. Well, I'm human, it can't be all business for me, so I sometimes wander into those sections for entertainment, but I am met with racists comments and other blather.
Yea I do know some people who only Post in GC wont name them, Gotta take some serious action against them
what's next? Every post have to have at least 50 word with a introduction, point one, point two, point three and then a conclusion?
lol Actually you haven't noticed it I guess but there people who only Post in GC Section , Posting Pictures and stuff So may be we can do 1 thing Limit number of Posts to be made in GC (Per Day) ???
may be you use that on your son or wife or mom (when you have one). Tell him that you can only bull shit me 5 times a day.
What is your problem ?? I'm just giving my opinion, you may tell us ur thoughts on this, dont get too personal ok ?
Hmm, I can't see any problem with that.. I mean.. they don't even break the rules by posting in the Chat section.. As far as they don't start selling their signatures etc, there shouldn't be any problem with this.
I had no idea, thankyou for bringing this important matter to my attention... It's a conspiracy i tells ya!
One suspects that the reason DP has a General Chat forum is so that members can make use of it if they wish to. Even in GC the members have to make a half decent contribution in their posts, otherwise they feel the wrath of the mods. I see no reason to upset the equilibrium. Just my take.
Well posting mood depends on members and if he like posting in GC than we can't stop because DP give freedom to make posts anywhere. Some people enjoy DP with general chat only.
What would be better is to eliminate the post count for the GC forum or make it non indexable like the underground section (most of the information is useless anyways). Interesting! But Useless.. for a webmaster's forum atleast. @ Readytogo: I have more than 2 in mind
Although I spend most of my time on DP in General Chat, I totally agree with this idea. I spend all day nerding around with websites and treat DP General Chat as a "drinks after work" kinda thing. By the time some of us get to DP, all we want to do is be entertained and participate in a "general chat".
Exactly There's nothing wrong with the GC, but there is something wrong with running up posts in there.. it would be great to eliminate atleast %50 of the useless COPY and PASTE information there and actually discuss interesting or pointless things!
I support having the posts not count for a users total in chat & it's subforums. I do not support making it members only though (that's what the underground is for, which should also not count post wise). Actually, remove post counting in all of the DP informational & social boards : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1 Though, if they are correct in that other thread I'm not sure it'll really make a difference. Heh, nofollowed sig links YAY!
