Props and the Consert Hall
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against boonsen. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all that. But out of the last 50 props as of the time of this post, he has 28 of them, 34 of belonging to the classical recordings thread in general. Personally, I don't mind these dudes showing appreciation in other people's uploading, but when it floods the page, I can't catch up on all the forum hilarity. Hilarity is slipping through my fingertips.
I know this isn't a new idea, but let's get the ball rolling again. If any one of you administrator-y types could possibly create an optional filter for what forums display on the props page, you'd be enriching my Gamingforce experience, I'm sure others' would be enhanced as well. It's a win/win, you're not taking any privilege away from the classical loving chaps, just giving the rest of us the option to collectively ignore them. Or, if it's easier to just universally bar that forum from appearing on the props page, I'm good with that too. |

Buckwalt is just a Moderator, like me. Other than handing out infractions and messing with threads in our assigned forums, there's not much we can do.

In all fairness, Dr. Uzuki would be more like the guy presenting to the CEO while the affected middle-manager bitches at the CEO that he should have done something the LAST time around.
In either scenario the dude would be canned. <3 |

We need a cover sheet on those.
There was a memo. |

Maybe we should take the communist approach, and any props given in Concert Hall are instead distributed to other GFF members.

The posts in The Musician's Library has been rendered to not appear on the latest 5 posts. Can't the same thing be applied on props to solve the riddle?

People aren't even "showing appreciation": the guy actually requires that his posts be propped to PM people the links to his uploads. Kind of similar to these Facebook pages you have to "like" before you can see the actual content.

[hide] tag features works good.

If you're basically holding the files for ransom under the insistence that they prop you first, then the entire exercise of filesharing ceases to be an example of generosity and turns into an absurdist kiss-my-ring processional.
Yes, if people are allowed to download files without "thanking" you first, they'll do so. And the problem with this state of affairs would be...? Additional Spam: Ah, yes, this makes them "leechers", far inferior to their cousins the "leechers who can press a button." |
Huzzah!!!!!!!

If you love these other forums so much why don't you marry them

And comparing it to a torrent site where you're using your own bandwidth is silly, because you have MEDIAFIRE LINKS. Not only is it not inconveniencing you in any way, shape or form if one or a thousand people grab it, there is no way to track or encourage sharing or contributions. It's e-dick sucking and you're being a wiener. That's all there is to it. The **Hidden Content** *Not for Zerg to be ridiculous with |

Back in the day when My Stuff was vogue, it WAS customary for people to post what they're downloading from an FTP, or face a ban from the FTP runner. I suppose the prop system is an extension of this system.
Still, any time I see one of those prop-demanding posts, a strong urge to click the diss button develops. Most of the time, I don't. Should I always indulge such urges? ___ Also, I am an afficionado of the use of hide tags to prevent leeching. I do not understand why Colonel Skills hate them so much, when he doesn't even have to unhide them :( |
So Pang finally gets it. The 'usage' of props in the concert hall has been diverted far from its orginal intent. In fact, the result of such prop-conditioning has become frickin' ridiculous: where there once was words to the effect of 'thank you' and some small semblance of appreciation, there now is a robotic churn of piano posts with 30 mindless props a piece. The same names predictably reappear: leechers now trained to press a button.
I say get rid of the prop/diss button in the CH altogether. But first, make props = disses and disses = props in the concert hall. |
