Whoring

[skyzerr33]

It has been brought to my attention that whoring is getting out of hand again.

It has caused acouple of businesses to discontinue using the boards, which doesn't bode well for when we approach these places for sponsership in the near future. It is also attributing to the slow speeds some dial-up user have been complaining about.

so please keep to the topic and only whore in the whore thread.

I will be cracking down on it till the new year. Threads that are closed will not be re-instated.

good idea Troy... it is getting out of hand and i have also made an effort on my part to keep my whoring under control as you guys might have noticed my abscence... i read the forums everyday just that i dont post unless its useful

[MirKz]

instead of wasting a whole thread and annoying the people that are ACTUALLY talking seriously in it, why dont you post a warning first, telling certain people to stop whoring. If they continue you can ban them for a day or week ... or u can close the thread if you have warned people and they have continued.

I know this msg in itself is a warning to the users on the board, BUT, i still think it would be more fair for the people talking seriously if the persons whoring were pointed out, and asked to cease doing so. that way the more serious conversations can continue.

Ive seen many topics go to waste because they are closed because of some twit that spams random crap and the rest suffer from it.

This "whoring" is getting sh*t outta hand ever since a few key members joined.

How about this....

*NO WHORETOWN

*NO WHORING IN THREADS

*ALL OFF TOPIC POSTS TAKEN TO THE GENERAL WASTELAND.

That people can't take it to PMing/ICQ/MSN or even IRC, hell, even requiring a whoretown is beyond me.

[skyzerr33]

those are all options to be looked at Kym

[tomj]

Seriously you need a mirc channel

#sauwa sounds fine .

talks 24/7 with no problems or anger on the forums -

my two cents from a person in a similar position - site with forums and a mirc channel

[fane]

i agree with tomj, i dont know why we dont have one...

[Nizmo]

they tried that - but as you know TJ most of us dont like mIRC.

Sounds like a politician ...."Lets shut down the only avenue people have for whoring to stop whoring" :confused: "Say wha?"

A lot of friendships have been formed in that thread and i think it would be a mistake to shut it myself. I think people that are whoring in the inappopriate threads should be sent a warning ...... when i first joined SAU i didnt know what Whoretown was used for i just thought it was you guys being dirty buggers.

[skyzerr33]

tom a mirc style plugin/portal is an option given the new features of the forum. prank just has to test it and see how it affects perform and stability

[fane]

in the meantime there is an #sauwa channel on austnet.org, join up.

[tomj]

Just a suggestion but yeah i know alot of ppl including el presidento dont like mirc

[IMACUL8]

I am another who think whoretown is a waste of bandwidth and resources.

[Nizmo]

yeah because WA has so many other resourceful threads at the moment ..... and the quality justs going to go ...up, up, up when you shut down whoretown .... the first thing we do when someone opens up a shitty trivial thread like some we've seen in the past is tell them to discuss it in whoretown first instead of starting up a thread for it. Soon as you shut down Whoretown your going to have all these shitty little "tufa" like threads again. Whoretown isnt even used as much as it used to be ..... in fact its probably used 1/3 not even that as much as it used to be used so i dont know where the bandwidth issue comes in.

[skyzerr33]

some people who are on the proposed execs committee need to stop hijacking threads and needlessly whoring.

i agree, the forums have gone downhill rapidly in the last year. whoretown is a waste of time and resources, and the cause of many frustrating "the server is too busy" messages when you try and look up something useful. maybe if people developed a certain level of social skill we wouldnt need internet threads in order for you to 'make friends'.

lol but true

there are no more useful threads becoz you can find the answers to everything on the search button

How about a Poll of the general population of SAU to vote whoretown out/mIRC plugin in?

Democracy is always good, and would prevent "committee members" just deciding that they like whoretown, so everyone has to put up with it.

There is a General Conversation forum where everyone can whore as much as they like. Let's keep it semi-tidy.

I can almost bet money on the fact that each state having thier own whoretown contributed to the "Server Busy" errors we recently had, and forced the upgrade of the server.

This is an online community, not a chit-chat/dating agency.

kym, for wa thats easily done, but for the whole site your looking at a big vote for keeping the wasteland section as thats where all the offtopic and whoring is suppose to be and its used alot by people form other states.

[fane]

lets look @ wa first and let prank sort out the main section?

yeah but the site wide whoring is whats causing the slow down.
