I don't even understand it anymore. Not a tiniest bit. Do you guys just need threads as an excuse to spam and act immature? Maybe we should make a subforum for that then?  Nyovne too, why? -Mynock | ||

the "triumphs" part, all six links are clearly not the good kind of HW thread, none i list are the "borderline" cases that are being contested so hotly i certainly didn't mean to create the poll as a way to "pump up" the pro crusade crowd, i was legitimately being honest in asking for a response, and if enough people said no (doesn't have to be a majority) i would call for an end to it. i don't think it comes off the way you say it does, i think you and skyglow are as biased against the crusade as some people are for it. | ||

And yes I'm irritated by this movement because it's everywhere. It's not confined to special threads that I can choose to ignore, but permeates the whole forum. And ruins certain threads I'd like to read. It's not isolated, it's an attitude. That makes it a whole notch worse than a couple threads you can easily ignore if you're not interested. I never see you posting in any political threads, yet I don't see you complaining either. Admit that you're having major fun with this whole crusade idea, and won't let easily go of it. And finally, how about we just treat those thread like any others, and close them if they suck, leave them to their fate if they don't? Why this distinction in the first place? It's all utterly unnecessary, let alone now that we see the negative effects of the other side of it as well. -Mynock | ||

"would be 100% behind faster moderator involvement regarding closing HW threads." Yeah exactly. Not behind the closing of stupid threads. Behind the closing of HW threads. Regardless. We're perfectly clear on your point. -Mynock | ||

also, about the alleged "bias" of the poll, two "yes" options imo are better for your argument than mine. the two "yes" options were for "should HW threads exist"? so i don't understand, if anything two "yes" options to "should HW threads exist" is biased FOR the existence of HW threads... and i already stated, if mods close the threads faster, there's no reason for the crusade to exist. i don't know where you got the "won't easily let go of it" because i haven't even posted flames or spam in the last like 5 crusades (some of which were incorrectly targeting legit HW threads). | ||

the poll results show that there is a significant portion of the population that doesn't like the crusade, (something like 36% "negative" and 10% "neutral") so in the next scoop i was planning to call off the whole thing. i just don't like how you make all these assumptions about my motivations and such when all i'm trying to do with CleaR, LiquiScoop, etc, is to improve the General Forum through effort in posting. it's kind of frustrating when all you do is make sarcastic comments and personal attacks when we're all on the same side here. i think its good that we care and that we try. i will, as i planned, call it off in the next scoop. sometimes ideas with good intentions run away and don't work out the way you planned them, but that's no reason to assume things about me personally. when the crusade is called off in the next LS, i urge faster mod closing of bad hw threads. "bad" as in very clear that its last minute lazy answer begging. i am disappointed that you went to the personal attacks/assumptions immediately about this, and that your tone is really condescending. | ||

I didn't mean to sound that way, but again I did. I was merely feeling that way because just a couple days ago you wanted closing rights exclusively for HW threads, and then this current issue of LS also featured "triumphs" etc. And yes, the whole "crusade" thing also ticked me off. And since other staff (Mani, ETT, JKS, others...) also expressed their concerns about it I felt you were being thickheaded. Hence the assumptions. But I never actually meant to assume that you were purely doing it for your personal enjoyment and not with good intentions for the side. Sry again PS.: Good job calling it off after all. Let the mods do their jobs. PPS: Surprised no one mentioned it yet, but that Garimto pic startled the shit outta me. -Mynock | ||

At least read the content of the post and think twice what you're posting before you do so... all too often I see a borderline op post get the full treatment --;; By the way I believe this motion to stop bad homework threads has helped though, since if you look back to before all of this started, and compare it to the situation now, you would see that statistically there are less homework threads, and the ones that do pop up are generally of much higher quality. Before, I dont think there were even very many "borderline" op posts. There were very good posts, ones which I had absolutely no clue how to answer (WiP and a one or more posters come to mind. shit your math is way beyond me --;  , then there were the absolutely terrible posts. Now there are fewer terrible threads (although there are still a few from time to time), and maybe those really bad threads have moved toward the "borderline" class? In any case if everyone keeps Mani's mantra of "Making a thread should be an effort by the poster", then I am sure things would be much cleaner. I asked for some help / suggestions about PP and my broodwar situation, and I tried hard to make it worth while to readers and explain the situation throuroughly. I hope I did at least a decent job at that. A lot of my posts are shitty, but I hope most of the threads I start are at least of acceptable quality. Thanks for reading, I guess :O | ||

The sad thing is that there will still be many who spam without first noticing I put effort in the post, just that its in a spoiler. In fact, I think I am going to do it and see how it works out before the crusade is called off in the next LS. I've been studying alot and some stuff I don't understand too T_T | ||
