What an awful rotten horrible thing to do, especially in the SPAM FORUM. I dont delete spam in the spam forum for a reason. Because its the SPAM FORUM! Otherwise there would be quite a few deleted topics, posts, and accounts. (Because three warns is adequate for a ban.) In other words, stop crying that I'm deleteing your spam. You want to spam? I have nothing against it. But do it in the spam forum. If you spam anywhere else I'm going to delete it, pure and simple. Also, about the spam parade. I've done it I think twice, and only about 12-15 posts each time (It just seems like more because its annoying- I know how annoying it is, thank you). Just to fill up a page. But you know what? I've done it only in the SPAM FORUM. Thx.

Opinions are never the same, so the best way to handle this, is to stop you moanin' and groanin' and live with it. Also, I thought Chucklee had a pretty good question, and everybody ignores him. I would have thought that the mods could have answered it for him, but, meh, whatever. :rolleyes:

I mean, it doesn't contribute, but it would be on topic, the reader would know the meaning, but it would have no real meaning. it depends. If its a comment that derails the convo then yes. However, if the remark wont lead off topic, then no.

	Wikipedia Entry On Maury After the video, with the female often further enraged or upset, the male will walk onto the set; he will usually be booed loudly by the audience. The male will typically react in a "you-don't-know-me" mannerism, showing confidence that he is not the father. A picture of the baby juxtaposed with a picture of the male will appear on a video screen, to which the female will usually say how she thinks they look similar, and the male will say how they do not look alike at all. One common occurrence is that each person will claim that he or she is beyond 100% (often 200% or 1,000%) sure that the man is/is not the father, with figures sometimes reaching as high as 1,000,000% (the highest this has it gone is "infinity-plus 1 percent", in the show aired on November 20, 2007 when a participant named Natasha (surname unknown) claimed to be "infinity-plus 1" percent sure that a man was the father of her child (The DNA test then proceeded to prove her wrong) [3]). yahoo.com Madoff is now serving a 150-year federal prison sentence.

However, if the remark wont lead off topic, then no. So, uh, we're in a Halo topic, and someone makes a post about how the plasma rifle sucks more than michael jackson, or something like that. Then the topic starts going into being about michael jackson. Is the person who made the plasma rifle comment the one that's going to be punished? In fact, let's make that question bigger. Let's say someone DOES make a comment that derails the topic. But what if people start participating in the new topic without the original topic really being discussed? Then what if in that topic it's derailed back into the original topic? What if it's suddenly 2 topics in the same place? I mean what do you consider the difference between progression and derailing, IA? Because http://z6.invisionfree.com/kamainsworld/in...opic=8793&st=45 kind of brings that question up.

The Mana Cannon Posts: 615 Group: Member Member #414 Joined: October 16, 2005	Tal does make a good point... But, the second part of his post seems to off a bit... Because, if somebody makes a post that causes other posts to be on topic, I don't see what's wrong with that... Then again, I think Tal's second part of his post just confuses me... BUT, I still have something important to say. Anyways, when somebody makes a post that's on topic (Person 1), and other people take the post the wrong way and start posting off topic (Person 2), I think that Person 1 shouldn't have his post deleted for what Person 2 did.

Nobody here cares, or should care, because it so small, it's not like 1 off-topic post is gonna keep you from finding a post you want to read. Everyone just needs to get over the spam, and act like they were before everyone started getting so obsessed about it.

Well THEN the topic gets SPLIT. it doesnt just get deleted. But if someone says the plasma rifle sucks more than micheal jackson (Which it doesnt) and people start talking about micheal jackson, then the people talking about micheal jackson are at fault. That post is on topic and humorous, but not necessarily a derail. However a post like 'Which sucks more, the plasma rifle or Micheal Jackson?' That post is obviously intended to bring up an alternate topic- thats a derail. It counts as spam and gets deleted in order to stop it from going further. However, if a mod doesnt catch it fast enough and it DOES turn into a new topic, it gets split. Tadaa! As for the bigger question, I think it stands to reason that the topic will be... SPLIT, like I said. It gets split again if that happens. Of course thats only if a mod doesnt catch these posts and start deleting them. If its 2 topics in the same place? IT GETS SPLIT! Derailing: A derailing comment is a comment made by a single person that suddenly shifts the topic to something different. Progression: Progression is the slow movement from one topic to the next by multiple members.

If they get involved in the "off-topicness" then they obviously don't care, so you don't need to delete anything. and if you ask anybody if they care, 95% of the people will say no they don't care if theres spam in the topic.

Oh lawd Posts: 24 Group: Retired Moderator Member #412 Joined: October 12, 2005	That topic qualifies as progression.

Sounds a wee bit closer to that. And it happened several times, and even with a couple topics going on at a time, with no split or deletions. And...guess what... That topic went along FINE.

Its not like they were going 'Hey america was in world war two. And britain has mcdonalds, but they dont eat there a lot.' It gradually turned into that.

Loquacious to a Fault Posts: 990 Group: Member Member #535 Joined: February 10, 2006	No, it was pretty much me saying 'Well we saved Britan in the war', and then it turned into ww2, and then after Alc said that one of the perks of America was McDonalds it flopped to Mcdonalds just like that. There was no 'gradual' change.

Oh lawd Posts: 24 Group: Retired Moderator Member #412 Joined: October 12, 2005	well I guess you're right. Excuse me while I delete everything off the topic.
