What change could HC use.
A burst of threads twisted with complaints have come about and I was wondering what we of HC think can be done to increase the post count again so we dont come 3 hours later to see 5 new posts..
Am I the only one scared to make a new thread? I've seen threads here just like ones in other forums that were full of complaints and crying about spam and in other forums (a rock bands official site) they were entertaining.
We come here for entertainment people
I dont post here as much as I could trust me, but I think if members were free to post without threat of angry faces again and again then HC could be more entertaining.
Why is it so wrong to joke around in the eyes of those few here who complain? Because of you, no one wants to post unless its serious. Just leave it alone, let it be, drop it.

People have been complaining because the threads that are regularly been created have had no thought put into them and they are just useless and it gets annoying to see after a while. It's as if people have nothing better to do so they go ahead and create a totally useless thread that generates even more spam.
This is becoming a problem as you can see the number of threads in the VW is increasing with just useless threads. Now for me, I like to read some funny posts now and again and maybe participate in a few threads in the VW, but this is becoming a joke. I have never really seen this happen before on HC since I arrived in 2006.
There is good spam and there is bad spam, and what's been created lately is bad spam and that's obviously not a good thing.

Well I think that mentality is horrible spam outside in what threads you consider weak and useless.. Remember we are not dubbing you the third antichrist of the world of HC to tell us whats useless and whats good.
Seeing how many "useful" posts there are since I left a few hours ago.. oh wait, there were hardly any posts at all..

I gave my opinion and my opinion is that there are useless threads been created. Does that mean that they are useless? Who knows, but in my opinion they are. Others may agree with me and others might not. Would you rather see HC have a lot of spam in it or would you rather HC be a clean forum where people can just enjoy themselves? Do you like all this spam in the VW?

I would rather see some activity .
I could think of something some way to contribute to any thread in a positive way and its up to us to turn a thread into its potential but with you and asheera and all the others moaning and whining all the time it makes me scarred to post.. I am here for freedom without threats on my peace and happiness.
Would you rather see no one posting to your holier than thou judgments or would you rather people post freely?
I dont know where RSF is with all this, he is posting more threads than anyone.

It doesn't matter what I or others say since people are still gonna do as they want. I'm all for posting freely but posting big amounts of spam isn't really going to improve HC at all, now is it?

It's not that bad. I like it. It's not to the point where it's annoying yet, IMO.

There might be a thread or two that shouldn't have existed but your all's spam slayer activities have instilled at least fear in me to not post freely... Like, if I contribute to a thread you deem spam then I am doing something /wrong/ .. We'll I'm not buying it anymore. And I might say something every time someone complaints about a thread again. And that's not any better than your complaints but it's better than just watching it happen.
I've seen noobs to forums come in here and get hammered down because they are different and unused to forums.. I see those get bashed man and I should care not for them not for me, not for HC, but in 100% loathing of people smashing others down because they think they are better than.
I'll warn you now, I see hc as faded from its past, and people dissing others for thread making and posting all the time is gonna run new people away.. Practice have a nice mug of be quiet.

I believe part of the reason for the eruption of the VW is that the community is bored. With no definite update for a long time on the status of this forums namesake, and the dormant nature of the Colisseum, the member of HC see no alternative for outlet and decide to spam the VW, which is for all intents and purposes, the reason the wastelands was created: a place where threads could die without second thought. However, the purpose of the wastelands has become inflated and heightened so that the moths cannot avoid the light any longer. The VW has become a supermagnet, and the option of posting any information where within points directly to the VW. Hitherto, the Forums have been a plethora of good discussions and conversation, but such a drive to continue these discussions seems to have diminished. Ergo, the boredom now accustomating the heroes of HC has directed them...here, to the VW. They say an idle mind is a devil's workshop. An approporiate motif, if ever there was one. I believe the only thing that will redirect the community back to pertinent subjects will be news from Nival on the status of the next of the Heroes saga.
As to the issue of overbearing discretion to the newcoming members of HC, it is my own belief that those who cannot adapt to a forum such as this cannot fully accept the rules and standards thereof. Apropos, some members will remain and adapt while others will not. Conclusively, the latter has been more prevalent in such cases, as new members to HC have gone scarce. The main crisis facing HC can be put in simple terms: the community is losing power. As dire as it sounds, a simple plan can be enacted to correct such a loss of will: revive old traditional style threads and bring new life to the Colisseum and Workshop. Finish unended discussions, complete pending projects, and return to the traditions of HC.

People who are new here shouldn't be ignored by the old members,not made fun of all the time and they would post more things that aren't spam.Moderators should be a little nicer.And the off topic posts on the in topic threads kill it all.

The VW post upswing is actually easily explained. The 20 post limit no longer applies to the VW, and any posts in the VW do not count toward the limit. This enables people who have a posting limit to spam the VW endlessly. Before it counted toward the limit, and thus curtailed it somewhat.

You really think so? Most people doing the spamming down there are +3 QPs so it hardly matters I believe. Of course there are exceptions to the rule (Carcity and Darkshadow) but Darkshadow never really posted anywhereelse in the first place and neither did Carcity.

I'm just wondering... Who thought of the idea that the 20 posts limit should not apply to the VW? In my opinion, it should. VW is mostly an off topic or spam forum, right? I have often seen people post spam or off topic outside of the VW (quite a lot of it as well). Maybe we should remove the limit for those forums as well. I'm not serious but i hope you get my point. If people want to post spam in the VW then it should count towards the limit. All it is doing is just enabling users to spam even more and that doesn't really help a moderators job when they have to clean up the place now does it?
I know some people have told some reasons as to why the 20 posts per 24 hours limit is there, but I think it is there to show users that if they want to be able to post freely, that they use the 20 posts in the 24 hours in a way that is quality and actually contributes to the forum. It's about quality and not quantity, and that's what i think the 20 posts per 24 hours limit is there for. Disabling it for the VW just means that users can spam to their hearts content and it doesn't really teach them anything. As you can see, it's not working quite well since all this spam is being created here (it's spam in my eyes).

As mentioned above freeing the VW from floodprotect is not the cause of this because almost everybody (except 2 oO) are +3 QPs. It's simply the people, it has nothing to do with the regulation.
People just do screwed up threads lately maybe it's a fad? But some people are just lame and therefore they think it's funny .

How about a change HC needs is for a **** list thread where people get their complaining done there about threads, posters, or thread posters.
Or maybe, just stop complaining in the threads if you want them to die. If a thread gets no positive posts then it will die, if you stop with your constant persistent without fail negativism..
I don't know if I've said this in this thread but we're here to have fun people. We don't need pit lords of HC downing us everytime we make a new thread or post.
One goes by unnoticed more than yall trying to argue over eveything.
