Was looking for some old screenshots of a project I was working on. Couldn't find anything though. Just thought I'd say "Hello" I guess.

May I ask why his post rating is negative ?
Title: Re: A
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 07, 2012, 09:38:08 pm

It's funny that I can't view that topic for some reason or another. Says I don't have the rights to read it. Can't remember what the post was about either. Also, Levak, the rep is probably low because back in the past I did a lot of shitspamposting cause I didn't have a lot to do. Nowadays I usually post answers to questions I can answer on stackoverflow and it's affiliated websites, provided I have some sparetime to answer questions and have the knowledge to answer that person's question. I've found it's become a good challenge and learning experience to do that because if I don't know the answer to a question it gives me the reason to go out and figure out what it is.

If you want to see some old garbageposts you aught to click to my profile and have a look at the old posts back in the past.

Oh I forgot that the spam section has since been locked to members under 200-500 posts or something like that. Nobody can post there anymore anyway, though.

I think the minimum to access the board is 1k.


*notices board title for this topic
This thread does not have peanuts yet
!peanuts
requirement fulfilled :P

What is this "spam section?"
Title: Re: A
Post by: Darl181 on September 08, 2012, 11:05:03 pm
A section full of what amounts to spam :P
http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=20.0
(note your post count when accessing, if the limit's not 1k it's prolly still something pretty high)
Title: Re: A
Post by: blfngl on September 08, 2012, 11:14:18 pm
All spammed messages/posts go there? Or you can spam the hell out of it?
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 01:28:10 am
Its used to be where you could post things that would be considered spam but it got closed because it took up too large a percent of the sites posts
Title: Re: A
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 09, 2012, 01:33:00 am
It's pointless stuff, that is more spammy than humor and jokes, but it's limited to higher post count users and is locked up whenever its postcount is higher than 10% of the entire board, to ensure it doesn't drain activity from more quality discussion sections such as calc/computer/gaming/music stuff.
Title: Re: A
Post by: Sorunome on September 09, 2012, 01:33:00 am
i thought it was locked down completely?
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 01:35:33 am
you can still view it but you cant post there.
DJ can you still post in that one topic?

I have ~15% of my posts on that board(well actually probably less since it doesnt count towards total post count)
Title: Re: A
Post by: Sorunome on September 09, 2012, 01:37:45 am
I have <50% of my posts in that bored O.o XD
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 01:43:03 am
Meh I think it would be best to do what DJ suggested at one point and block a user from spam if they have more then 10% posts in the board.
Title: Re: A
Post by: Sorunome on September 09, 2012, 01:44:34 am
Meh, i could wait then a loooooooooooooong time
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 01:49:33 am
yeah but It would improve the site by forcing people to make more constructive posts
Title: Re: A
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 09, 2012, 01:50:01 am
I think I still can post in the topic. It seems to be an SMF glitch. The topic kept its permissions from its previous section.

But yeah I remember last Spring or in 2006-07 where there were days where 90% of the forum activity was in spam >.<. It made it hard to browse the new posts list and it was kinda disappointing when I saw there was a 400-post day only to realize about 350 were in spam >.<. That also gave a bad reputation to Omni sometimes.
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 01:52:12 am
yeah I think quality posts should be emphasized. At the very least someone should not have there top number of posts in a non constructive board like spam(looks at sorunome) or humor
Title: Re: A
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 09, 2012, 02:10:43 am
At least, however, Sorunome doesn't have like 0 posts outside intro/spam/humor and 100 in there. O.O (the akward moment when a 0-post user's post rating is different than 0)
Title: Re: A
Post by: Sorunome on September 09, 2012, 02:12:42 am
LOL, that would be really O.o if that would happen XD
Title: Re: A
Post by: Juju on September 09, 2012, 02:14:01 am
In Sorunome's case, he have to wait until his post count reaches OVER 9000. o.o
Title: Re: A
Post by: Sorunome on September 09, 2012, 02:15:50 am
OMG I'LL HAVE MOAR POSTS THAN DJ_O O.O
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 02:16:19 am
no DJ has ~43000 which is much more then 9000
Title: Re: A
Post by: Sorunome on September 09, 2012, 02:16:49 am
lol, don't point that out :P
Title: Re: A
Post by: Juju on September 09, 2012, 02:18:22 am
Well, that's still more than the hugest poster besides DJ_O (currently Deep Thought).
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 02:22:41 am
lol, don't point that out :P
Sorry Sorunome :P

Yeah DJ has the most points by a lot Deep Thought is at about 7000 I think so >9000 would be at least 2nd
Title: Re: A
Post by: Sorunome on September 09, 2012, 02:24:08 am
well, i already appeared since months in people with most posts this month somewhere at the top
Title: Re: A
Post by: ruler501 on September 09, 2012, 02:39:23 am
I'm on and off a top poster. Sometimes I get 20+ a day or 100+ a month but most of the time I stay close to 50 a month i think
Title: Re: A
Post by: Drak on September 11, 2012, 05:14:52 pm
Locking this topic due to the derailment and trainwreck that the topic seems to have taken.
Title: Re: A
Post by: cooliojazz on September 11, 2012, 08:44:15 pm
To be fair, it is a topic titled "A"... But whatever.
