Supergrunch Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 Am I the only person who has heard of the little toaster that could? Geez, I may have forgotten about clauses and all that as I haven't done English Language (in the studying sense of the word) for years but you need to learn pop culture. Far more necessary. I'll change it anywho. It made perfect sense once I got the reference, but it looked wrong without context.
Ashley Posted October 13, 2007 Author Posted October 13, 2007 It made perfect sense once I got the reference, but it looked wrong without context. Its not my fault everyone is a cultural idiot :p
Dyson Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Oh, Tellyn! can be unbanned...but blocked from posting. That sounds fair
Zell Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I'd never heard of "the little toaster that could". Maybe my general knowledge needs a brushing up :P
The fish Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I'd never heard of "the little toaster that could". Maybe my general knowledge needs a brushing up :P I always thought it was "the little engine that could"... I've never heard of the toaster, either.
Guest dynastygal Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Same here...little engine but not toaster.
Zell Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I just repeated what Ashley said. I haven't heard or either anyway although engine makes more sense.
Dyson Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I have a suggestion. Perhaps Shorty should leave before he commits suicide out of depression and anger.
Daft Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Is there a final warning system in place on the forums? And if so can said person on final warning have something under their name? (kinda like "is in another castle")
Marshmellow Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Where did the meaningless post thread go? Or I am I going crazy?
The fish Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Where did the meaningless post thread go? Or I am I going crazy? It was locked last night by Blackfox, and it's now gone. Pitty, as it was a nice idea, I thought, but "they who shall not be named" fucked about and got it deleted. Nice of them.
Mr-Paul Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Please tell me it will be coming back. Surely you could just delete the posts that are spam from last night?
The fish Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Please tell me it will be coming back.Surely you could just delete the posts that are spam from last night? It's been unpopular with the mods and admins for a long, long time, I believe, way before even the 'epic thread' business.
Mr-Paul Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 It's been unpopular with the mods and admins for a long, long time, I believe, way before even the 'epic thread' business. True, but I feel the forums will lose something without it. The MPT helps build a community on these forums in my opinion, and the forums won't feel the same without it.

Wait until all this has blown over, and then ask the admins/mods very, very nicely. I suggest suggesting (hehe) a immediate temporary thread ban for anyone who breaks the 'new' rules.
ReZourceman Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Suggestion ; Area that doesnt count towards post count, where you can do MPOTD threads, Mafia games, Forum games (Good ones, not "count to 100") and such, which dont count towards point cost ; Pros - Cuts down on spam on rest of forum - Allows for more personality building - People make friendships and stronger bonds (Which is important in life) Cons - Possible bandwith issues (Solution = Donorship system, with privaleges such as larger avater, and increased PM box size) - Nothing else But Im sure this will never happen, and its for no good reason too. The potential is there!!!
The fish Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 ut Im sure this will never happen, and its for no good reason too. The potential is there!!! It encourages spam in that area, and the mods don't want to do more policing than they have to.

The potential is there!!! Would make sense since the MPT with it's +1's have allowed people to reach thousands of posts despite contributing very little. It encourages spam in that area, and the mods don't want to do more policing than they have to. Then get more moderators, a couple would do. However it seems to work fine when other forums do this.
The fish Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 Then get more moderators, a couple would do. However it seems to work fine when other forums do this. Hmm, perhaps. Can mods delete posts? If so, it could work pretty well, know I think about it.

Tellyn Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 I don't know what's gone on because I can't see the thread, but did Ant and Harribo get any warnings? People got out of the epic thread alive and others have done worse than this and are still active members of the forum, and from what I heard they didn't do a right lot.

People got out of the epic thread alive and others have done worse than this and are still active members of the forum, and from what I heard they didn't do a right lot. They chose a time when the mods and admins where already annoyed with all the arguments here abouts, and suffered the consequences.
