Great, welcome to an dark age of dictatorship over the land of Turingna. Now, travelers and citizins alike will be weary of our small little province, and fear to enter for punishment. I forsee a great exodus from the land.

I don't know Dodge, Krab is making a reasonable point. For those who aren't quite seeing both sides of this.

SPAMMERS
~~~~~~~
- Like hanging out on compsci.ca. It's kinda like messenger with a purpose. Get to feel the enjoyment of helping people and increasing their own knowledge.
- Like up-to-date posts, like to see new posts because they are checking often.
- Don't mind obeying rules, but want to see them applied consistantly, and have punishments fit the offence.
- see bits as a level of respect. When Someone says good job they respect you. When someone says good job +50 bits it means a lot more it seems tangable.

ANGRY MODS
~~~~~~~~~
- Been around compsci for a while and feel a little upset because the site is at risk of being drowned in irrelevence.
- Mods make it a point of trying to read ALL posts. Recently this has become more frustrating.
- Examples of annoying posts.
Quote:
<user1> "What is recursion?"
<user2> "I have no idea"

Seems innocent enough, #2 is just trying to tell #1 that "I read your post (I'm not ignoring you), but can't help"
To the ANGRY MOD the reaction when reading it is "#2 Why the heck did you bother posting? That is 3 seconds of my life that I'll never get back"
Quote:
<user1> "I'm working on Pong. How do you get the ball to animate as it travels?"
<user2> "My pong game was awesome. We hade guys from the tech wing skipping class to play it!!! lol"

Again, to the ANGRY MOD, "I don't care how good your pong is. I could make that in 5 min with both hands tied behind my back with red ant checking at my eyes!" Keep it on topic as much as possible. Avoid bragging, you're not the best one here (odds are)
- Rule of thumb, most one liners will piss off a MOD.

I pesonally don't get that offended at spamming, I just skip over it. It's flaming that gets to me. I know that almost all members of compsci want the site to be a good as possible. I think a little give from both sides will help.

Wow! mackenzie, have you thought of going into psychology? That was a brilliant analysis, before that post, I didn't know why the mods acted the way they did, but your explanation makes this all make sense. Smile I mourn for my lost bits... but I can't say I didn't deserve it, even under a harsh rule.

My goodness! Dodge, that sounds like an actual relevant post for the "Person above me" thread. Oh well.

sigh, it is lol. just that if poleop give out millions of bits i will have to get ride of most of the good stuff in the shop. also i dont whont mods taking tones of bits ether. the bits where sposted to be a way to rewared poleop for helping in the help sections. since u can donate bits if u where helped and where a nice person u could give the person who helped u bits. and also mods could give ther person who helped bits and give bits to poleop who post turoials and sorce code.

but now it seems the mods ether dont touch bits, give tones of bits for no reason or take tones of bits for sligth infractions in the rules.

I think a better understanding of spam is needed here.
Mckenzie showed us what is spam, here is what spam isn't.

http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=3242&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
(this topic was progressing right before Asian decided to create the spam rule)

that's not spam. a discussion about black holes and physics and some theories about space and the universe. no way that's spam. it relates to the subject, though it wasn't discussing the program that Catalyst made. threads evolve, and there's notthing bad about that.

http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=3415
(this was the topic where Asian created the spam rule)

that's not spam. boarder16 thought that Turing was useless and we were trying to convince him otherwise. Giving examples of why Turing is easier to learn than other languages and comparing Turing's basic put command to the put commands of other languages? thats not spam. It doesn't relate to the thread name, but who cares? honestly.

threads evolve, discussions move to new topics.
such discussions add to the compsci website, not flood it.

Asian, look at the gravity thread (the first one). would you consider it spam if, instead of posting shorter replies, everyone wrote a short essay summarizing their thoughts?
if you think that is still spam, then maybe you should partake in the conversation and maybe try to stop it from developing. It can't be done.
if you don't think that's spam, then you qualify spam as short replies. There's nothing wrong with short replies, that's how a discussion happens. One persons thoughts about black holes at that moment could be short, but just as relevent and worthy as another person's thoughts that are explained in detail.

There's nothing wrong with topics that evolve into new topics, there's nothing wrong with short replies. The only thing that matters is whether a post adds to the compsci website. Do you really think that a discussion about black holes does not add something to the compsci community?
