Paladin D Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Over the months, I've been noticing [b]Open Mic[/b] has been hit the hardest with spam. When I'm refering to spam, I'm particulary refering to threads such as... - "[b]*Insert name*[/b] personal thread" type threads - Threads who's sole purpose is to boost post counts - Threads which turn into Instant Messaging chat rooms ...I don't want to spoil anyones fun, but mine is already ruined . Most of the other boards are doing great, but [b]Open Mic[/b] is a victum of such unfortunate behavior. I don't even click on half the threads that pop up on Open Mic because of this, it really discourages me and my participation in this wonderful and awesome community. I propose two options, which one or both can be used... [b]1.[/b] Make an option where a user can customize the amount of threads per-page [b][u]and/or[/b][/u] raise the current default threads per-page to a higher amount. [b]2.[/b] Limit the amount of or abolish threads that I've listed previously. ...I'm not angry or anything of the set, just disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voiciblanche Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I'm guilty of personal threads, but not really of the other two. (I don't think... ) But the personal threads are pretty much dead now. As far as the other stuff, I feel the same way, but I don't really understand option #1, so I don't know if it'd be a solution that I, personally, would like, or not.

[/quote] Well the problem I have with Open Mic is, so many threads and posts are made in this section of the entire phorum, today's posts expand about 2-3 pages on average. I would rather see 90% of them all on 1 page, makes it easier for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iacobus Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I think you can set the number per page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I think that is whats fun about Open Mic, you can have any and all sort of conversations, meaningful or meaningless. I like the way things are personally. Bogus threads are the best. There are enough serious thread in the debate forum and apologetics. Its nice to have threads about tacos, so very tasty and good for you, and Phazzan's social behaviour. Just my opinion. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rev Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Open Mic is meant to get us all addicted to PM! These threads help us to meet people. So I don't consider it spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnanc Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 yes I agree it can be annoying when there are so many personal threads, but as long as its confined to this board, I think their great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zwergel88 Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I don't really mind the goofy threads, in fact I really like the ones that are meant to increase post count. However, I do agree that it would be totally great to be able to display all of the days threads on one page! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 Okay, then will anyone agree with me on [b]Option #1[/b]? [i]1. Make an option where a user can customize the amount of threads per-page and/or raise the current default threads per-page to a higher amount.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
