Korupt Data Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Alright this is a minor problem yet it still needs to be addressed, I've noticed that some members have been treating the general discussion section as if it were off-topic (one word posts, and pointless posts) please post stuff like that in off-topic general discussion is for topics that dont really fit into any other section.. not for spam topics/posts. The sections are not interchangeable, think before you post lol.
Dark Slipstream Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 We can restrict members from posting in there, but there's no point. It's used for stuff slightly more serious.. i can't see the difference anyway lmao.
Korupt Data Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Posted April 3, 2009 Well i use it for stuff that actually doesnt fit in any section, that what its for lol.
Justrec Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 Normally I would agree with this, but I don't see the difference between General Discussion posts and off topic posts. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. But you know what? This is what happened with all the sites that I've been on with two seperate sections called General Discussion and Off-topic/Spam. Theres always someone that gets irritated by useless posts. The thing thats causing the problem is those two seperate sections. IMO, one needs to be deleted.
Korupt Data Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Posted April 3, 2009 I feel we could do without general discussion, we have many place's to post topics already.
Pargy Posted April 3, 2009 Report Posted April 3, 2009 How bout we merge off-topic and GD? people just post in GD insted of off-topic
Korupt Data Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Posted April 3, 2009 Well there has to be a section where posting doesn't count, so people can be stupid.. we should keep everything the same now that i think about it people just need to learn that were you post matters.
Curtis Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 I don't think it's a problem. Were ibotmodz, not a ******* company forum.
iBotPeaches Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 I used that forum quite alot to post general things. Its meant to post about anything, thats serious. I see people exploited it, but it still has a big enough purpose not to warrant a deletion. yet.
Dark Slipstream Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 There is no difference, except one section separates more important stuff. Remove the post count raise in General, problem solved.

iBotPeaches Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Sure I could live with that, however post count doesn't matter in IPB 3. And I make a great deal of posts in General Discussion, then my post count wouldn't really reflect my count. So yeah discuss.
Quinn Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 I like the no post count Idea, that way spammers wouldn't be tempted to spam in GD
lostmodz26 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Whats the big deal with post counts?I don't care how many posts I have and it doesnt prove anything.
Quinn Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Whats the big deal with post counts?I don't care how many posts I have and it doesnt prove anything.I believe you have to have 1 post to acess the shoutbox.
Korupt Data Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Posted April 4, 2009 I believe you have to have 1 post to acess the shoutbox.Nope, and post count is suppose to represent how active/committed you are to a site.
Dark Slipstream Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 Well in IPB3, that will be your status levels.. Member, Heroic, Legendary, Mythic, Staff.
