[Mizani]

Maybe a Mod should do something?
And we're not wasting space cause this is a serious issue currently on Lea.

[unregistered user]

*bow* hope Mods pay attention about this

[Lucy Lioness]

Don't worry Zacky! I agree with you. I'm all for people having fun and everything, but things are getting kinda pointless. I feel guilty for being kinda pointless on occasion though.

[unregistered user]

*bow again*
and i know y'all having fun right now but..
keep in touch aight?

[IchLiebeNALA]

I'm one of the main culprits. i'm just random all the time and send everyone off on a tangent!

[unregistered user]

nahh i don't blame you..
all we need is to make a thread usefull and unpointless

[Simba_TLK]

i totally agree with you about the pointless threads.
if you didnt mention it, i would have sooner or later.

i dont think it is just with pointless threads, although that is a major contributing factor.
It is also people making pointless posts in other threads, which most of the time ends up making these threads useless aswell.
most of the time in the post it is just a bunch of random stuff which doesnt add anything to the thread whatsoever.

that being said, lets keep THIS thread serious and on topic, since it is a serious issue we need to deal with now on Lea.

the way i see it, is that if you cant add anything to the thread, then there isnt much point posting it in then. Thats the way i post, and it seems to work perfectly fine.

im sure Mufasa pays good money for this forum server to be running, so lets not waste it by putting useless posts.

[Mizani]

Nice statment Simba TLK.
Very true indeed.

[unregistered user]

Aww geese...I guess...I'll back off. I'm kinda the pointless Genie...heh...ya. Sorry for me wasting yall's time. In other theards...ya know...

[Mabatu]

Simba_TLK is absolutely right. Lately, the quality of this forum has degraded so much because of all the useless, irrelevant and monotonous spam that people keep posting. I sorely miss the days when most of the discussion here was intelligent and interesting, while at the same time, quite often completely insane!

Now everything seems to have gone out of balance - we have almost 100% randomness, and never any meaningful discussion. It's caused me to think about whether i should continue to be a member here or not a few times, and i know for a fact that a large number of the original Lea members rarely come here any more. For me, that's really sad, because i was very fond of them. I know Lea will never return to what it used to be, but i just don't understand why people would choose to spend their time here just to contribute useless posts .

As Simba_TLK requested, please, if you don't have anything useful to say, then don't say it! This doesn't need to make the forum a boring place, because there is always (and has always been) room for randomness, but we need to show some control.

One thing i have a big problem with is people making threads that have no discussional value. If you want to make a thread, think about why you are making it. The reason isn't extremely important, but if you introduce a thread by typing one sentence that doesn't even make sense and doesn't even use capital letters, then that is a problem. All you have to do is explain what you are saying, and let people know why its important to you, or why you think its significant.

The same goes for posts, but to a lesser extent i guess. Just try to contribute something worthwhile some of the time, i don't know how else to say it :woeisme:.

If everyone does this, the forum will still be fun, but it will also be an interesting place for everyone to visit. Now why wouldn't you want that .

And, if none of that made you think about doing things a little differently, then go back and look at the Pride Rules, and hopefully you'll notice:

# No chatting in threads. (ex: 1 line posts and replies)

And also think of Mufasa paying good money for the server. And all the hard work he put into getting this place up and running.



And now that i'm reading all that again, i just want to say i don't want to sound like i'm some kind of authority or anything like that, and i really don't mean to make anyone uncomfortable or annoyed, because i'm not aiming this at anyone in particular. I just want things here to be a little more interesting for everyone to read. There needn't be arguments about this issue either .

I feel invisible. I had been complaining about this for days, no one looked twice at me. In fact, Guntur, Sombolia, and PhantomBPR even got nasty to me at one point. I'm not going to lie, I was at the point that I was thinking of leaving quietly because I was just another pretty face in a crowd. I have had my ups and downs here, but recently, it seems like nobody takes anything I say seriously because I don't like to be a clown all the time.

Simba_TLK and Mabatu have said very nicely what I had been trying to say for awhile. As much as I like to see people joke around and be themselves, you can't turn Lea into a circus with out scaring people off. There are lots of people who get nervous around clowns, you know.

Also, I had been wearly of starting new threads in Scar's Lair because they would also get about ten replies before being pushed off the page by threads with no posting value whatsoever. You can be goofy and funny and still stay ontopic. Just don't go from wishing somebody a happy birthday to talking about dressing up spam in a suit.

As for Mufasa, you have to admit that he is very generous to pay for somthing he doesn't even use anymore. THAT is dedication!

[unregistered user]

I'm sorry Roqivy....I've...barely noticed ya.... I guess I'm gunna, stay away from the ***-clown me for a while. It seems better for others. One again, I'm sorry Roq. You mean lots to me...

[Lucy Lioness]

I kinda feel like nobody notices me either. I have been complaining about it for a couple of days, no one really took any notice.

[nathalie]

*hmm*

Yesterday and today, there might have been over 100 threads I had to read.

And by just looking at the topic title, I didn't look or reply to any of those 100 threads.

[unregistered user]

Lea moderators are very lenient that goes for the administrators as well. A couple of the rules bend a bit. -- If they didn't, it would cause some suffocation to the members.

As for these more than suitable amounts of threads that have little to no substance, well... it is Scar's Den, and anything pretty much goes, contently. -- That's where the leniency steps fourth.

I agree partially however, but not fully. That there's a bit too much randomness lately; mainly in this section of the forum. But, the people who start threads like that shouldn't feel bad, because they're just expressing themselves at the time - and I'm behind them, 100%.

We could all level out a bit, but don't make a travesty out of it, OK?

[Endra]

Thank you so much for making this thread. As a Mod of Scar's Lair I feel it is my responsibility to do something about it... yet I don't. We have all of these 'gangs' rising up left and right... tons of pointless threads (that I contribute to sometimes ) and just too much randomness. If we come up with a solution for this I will try to execute it.

We cannot just lock pointless threads... there are too many of them. The best way, as previously stated, would be to just not post pointless stuff. If there is something I can do as a mod to help, let me know! I would like to help restore Lea to its former glory!

[King Simba]

<rant> I agree about all the pointless threads...I mean, there's just too many of them. Randomness may be good sometimes but then again, it's just wasting a lot of space and bandwidth on the hosting account. I think these threads should be decreased in number...a few aren't too bad but I'd like to see more threads that actually have a proper topic to speak about. Not threads like the 'join my gang' threads that often go off topic. To me, I don't see myself as one of the main culprits and I don't blame those people who have created a gang or group or whatever...I'd just like to see a deduction in these type of threads to be honest. </rant>

Anyways, like others have said, let's try to keep these threads to a minimum. =)
