An open letter to *some* members regarding Jokes forum


Recommended Posts

I guess some people are jealous that others are happy... so they create "an issue that needs to be fixed" as in... they find it an "issue" when people are happier then they are... so they feel they have to resort to this to make themselves happier in this way rather then taking the high road and improving themselves.... weaklings.

The thing is, those doing the complaining could be posting jokes to show us dullards how it is done. Instead, they sit back and criticize those who try to post.

like I say.... if you think that person A's stuff sucks I'd like to see you do better!

Post jokes? I don't have time for that. I'm too busy attempting to decipher these puzzling unfunny jokes :p

Simple solution, give us the option to pick what forums are included in the minispy/forum posts area on the homepage..

People that don't care about social aspects, or news, etc, can just hide those areas of the sites.. People who do, can leave them included..

The problem isn't the posting in the forums. It's creating a thread like:

"Why did fred eat the apple?" with the content

"because he didn't have a potato"

it's posting for the hell of posting, it's not funny, its not contributing to the community. Those kind of posts are best kept to PM. While I am okay with the facepalm jokes that Turion and Warwagon post (for the most cases) it's the stupid posts that I dislike. The posts that contribute nothing other than to increase a post count, one line of random words, or an inside joke aren't needed. If you are actually providing something, a new avenue that's one thing, but to spam the board with nonsense makes the forums look bad.

That's just my thoughts though.

A lot of times the comments are funnier than the joke.

That much is certainly true, I sometimes get a good chuckle out of the comments that get posted after the absolutely shocking jokes i've seen.

You know, everyone has a different funny bone. What makes one laugh may not make others laugh. Planet Bob? Come on. I loved the series, but that part was not even close to being funny. So who gets to determine what's funny and what's not? I'm not saying I don't agree with certain things, because I do. The things that determine a ban shouldn't include a bad joke. A joke that is titled "Dog" and then answered with "Cat", isn't ban worthy, but it is worthy of a warning.

These warnings do pile up and when they reach the number for banning, then ban them.

But to ban for what others consider tasteless or unfunny, not cool.

Maybe we could Vote on a Joke -- after 10 dislike votes, the joke is automatically Deleted PM'd to the OP on the hour every hour for a week. ;)

Yes, I'm ahead of my time.

Fixed that for ya ;) :p

Wait, is this really pointed at Warwagon? So what if some members don't find his jokes funny, I don't but I wouldn't ban him from posting them. Jeez.

No, it's not pointed at warwagon, his jokes are jokes, it's pointed at the copycat(s) who are trying to be warwagon and failing

No, not even that I hope.

I think it's merely about posting spam.

Just spam literally.

As in stuff that doesn't even qualify as joke - neither good or bad or whatever.

Just as random bla bla trying to either derail the subforum, raising the post count or seeing how the community reacts.

Now, any joke, good or bad or even horrible, I think should stay the flip in there and we can actually just apply the usual "No Spam" rule.

I don't see how this needs such a big announcement, as I think we can just enforce the "No spam" rule and deal with it just like in any other subforum.

If people want to jump on the bandwarwagon (pun!), let them. At least they should show that they genuinely tried making people laugh, now topics like "Hello" and the first post being "Bye", that I would qualify as spam, a question in the title and a lame answer as punch(or lack thereof)line, that I think can stay.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
