Cool Pics...I'm Going To Miss That Thread BAD!!!!

This is one of my all time favorite threads. I check it every other day and thoroughly enjoy it. I completely understand the mods for being frustrated with the OT ***holes but maybe we can police it so that it isn't a burden to the mods.

Is there any way it can be reinstated again for the umteenth time??

Sincerely,

******Knuckles


BTW...I appreciate all that the Mods do for the HAMB. Your work has got to ****!! Thanks.

 

There were 22 posts deleted from that thread in the last two days.

How do you expect to police it?

 

I have no clue.

It's hard to deny the popularity of the thread though.

 

I'm with you. Sadly, popularity isn't always a good thing...

I guess we could start with a disclaimer like this......

We like this thread, we want it to stay.

Post something OT in it and you will be banned. No questions.

Don't know what OT for this site is? Read a while...

 

I understand guys. It's just sad. It's almost like the disclaimer would have to be every other post. The ****s just don't get it. Damn.

 

I don't know what sirius means....

I've actually had nothing to do with moderating that thread. I try to leave the editorial focus of the main board to the guys who are better at it. I chimed in here because I was actually wanting to hear a way you all could police it. Maybe something I hadn't thought of.

I do know the main board Mods are worn out watching that thing. 550 pages is a lot to keep up with.


I did find a way you can police it. ******knuckles can start a social group and everyone who was interested in that thread can join it and post their pics.

This way, the group owner can delete what they don't like. Delete enough from someone, you can boot them from the group...

If you want to do it, let me know what the group id is and I'll help with a link for your sig lines...

 

It is sad...

Very sad.


For a while I thought we could keep it on track, and I got a little more generous with Infraction Points.

But that resulted in Users getting in my face, Bans and users that probably should have been Banned, eventhough I didn't.


Like I said before on the same Thread.

If enough people were going to try and De-Rail it again it was going to be Closed.



And that's what happened.

What is On Topic on the HAMB, and what is not should be pretty clear.
( if it isn't, read this again.

And just because it said "Cool Pics" in the ***le line, doesnt mean all the O/T stuff can be included.

 

I have an idea, why not start a social group for that, maby the cool pictures group? that would make you the moderator of the group, and allow you to eject members who cause problems. maby the pictures could be moved to your group?

 

That one thread had to have been a HUGE monetary drain on the HAMB's resources. Even though Ryan never mentions how much stuff costs it only makes sense that a thread with that many views, replys, etc costs a fortune to maintain. It's a shame some couldn't appreciate the thread.

 

And here is a prime example of another part of the problem.... people don't bother reading the threads before they post......

 

i did read the thread it's closed permanently, i was making a useful suggestion

 

well this was interesting , now what do I do , oh I know

 

But did you read THIS thread?

Just razzing ya. It is a useful suggestion..... wish I'd thought of it.

 

He's referring to completely reading this thread cuz if you did you would have realized that Rashy suggested the same thing as you came up with which to every that read the whole thread means that you didn't.

 

People are kinda dumb.

 

We should start a new "Cool Pix" thread and have Denise moderate it. She is the voice of reason.

I'm just throwing this out there, what if there was a particular day, (maybe Wednesdays) dedicated to cool pics. Similar to the Friday night art shows. Start it Wednesday, make it a sticky for the day, dump it into the Art Archive Thursday morning. Maybe even close it after moving it to the Art Archive so it doesn't get too out of hand, like it has in the past.

 

Oh and who ever starts the thread each has to post the "rules" in the first post as a reminder or it gets killed before it even gets any momentum, thoughts?

 

No way Jose, I could NEVER moderate....I'm too hard on stupid people.

While this has your attention Big Olds and I will be in San Diego in mid-May for a long weekend. Perhaps we could have lunch, dinner, a drink, or just a short meet & greet. Whatever you can work into your schedule.

 

why not start a Cool Pix Thread social group?


What?


That thread pissed me off. The beginning was great and then it started going away... then it got stupid and even after the mods threatened more and more people piled on the ****.

Pisses me off...

I can't imagine the work it would take to maintain that thread or the money it costs

 

That sounds like lots of fun!
Absolutely.

where do you draw the line?
it's up to someone??
why is a Triumph chopper ok and a '64 Bultaco isn't?
I dont think choppers belong on HAMB, they are more '70's to me. I figure enough older hambers have choppers that that makes it ok, really I don't care one way or another as long as we don't have a double standard.


personally I think cool pics are just that ... if its a sunset, is it still a cool pic? ...YES

I say let it be, press the report ****on if you don't think it belongs.

and yes this was my favorite thread too.

 

Was?

I guess you didn't notice Cool Pics #2.
( which is acctually more like # 3 or #4, with the earlyer Closes and Merges)

Its doing really well.

It almost went a full day from when it was first Posted till its first couple of Deletes...

 

YEAH I like the new one just fine, just not as cool since all the old pics from the orriginal thread are burried back at page 22 now

 

So all you have to do is go back to page 22 to look at them....

 

I wasn't thinking of myself I was thinking of the newbies who wont ever know abought it
