Your post WAS spam, the general discussion section is intended for, and I quote from the main page, \"Discussions about PlaneShift, Roleplaying and more...\". You should have placed your post in the Hydlaa Plaza forum, which is for OT posts. The mods were nice enough to move your post there for you, instead of out right deleting it. Maybe you should thank them?

Post by: Niber on August 29, 2003, 09:36:27 pm: Hello? Can you guys stop complaning? This is not spam! It is in the wrong forum however.

If free games didn\'t do this kind of advertize then we wouldn\'t be here. Cuz alot of people have found Planeshift from topics made by PS devs around forums, and even more have heard of PS though friends that have red about it at some forum.
So could you please stop complaning to people who have put alot of effort in making a game and can you blame the guy for wanting people to play his game?

You just have to read his post to understand why we\'re complaining. It\'s shallow, sounds boring and look at his use of language- vulgar, to say the least.

If his first post is not spam, read the second. Tell me that is NOT spam.

His second post is good. I mean someone tells him \"you damn idiot.\" which is really spam and then instead of flaming he answers \"I love you\". Not that bad actually.

Post by: Moogie on August 29, 2003, 09:50:10 pm: So if someone spams your thread, you\'re allowed to reply with spam of your own? Wouldn\'t it be slightly more mature to not respond at all instead of making yourself look just as bad...?
Title:
Post by: Kiern on August 29, 2003, 09:59:18 pm: Some people enjoy making theirselves look like idiots (TOB, but none of you know them so nevermind)... :P

Anyways, there is a lot more spamming going on and this one is fixed (although it was spam, posting in the wrong forum is still spam) so go complain there ;)

I disagree. I found this project because I was looking for a free online game. And that\'s how everybody should find it. We shouldn\'t be forced to read stupid advertisements when we are already content where we are. I think this kind of crap should be deleted. The guy knew his post was borderline spam from the start with his comment to the moderator. In addition, he registered to our community for the sole purpose of promoting his community. What is this? Community stealing? Niber, don\'t act like spamming is the only way communities can grow, and please don\'t defend anymore spammers.

Post by: Monketh on August 29, 2003, 10:23:23 pm: I found Planeshift while searching for free mmorpgs. (It was a link though) I didn\'t find it becuase it was spammed somewhere, I don\'t think clicking a spammed link is worth my time. Oh, and registering to advertise? That doesn\'t help at all. (Especially having the same name as the advertisement :P)

Any chance you\'ve ever played \"Homeworld\" Moogie? :P
Title:
Post by: Moogie on August 30, 2003, 04:15:35 am: Were you ever involved in the forum/online community, Monketh? If you were, perhaps you would remember one of the following (ahem *takes out long list of alter egos*):

MadGod_Moogle
Moogie
Iris_Osiris
Smidge
Tourmaline
Trojan
Sir_Auron
BlackCat
Pingpong
NinthAlchemist

Hehe, I could\'ve ran that community single-handedly with all those. Recognise any?

[Edit: No, I\'ve never played Homeworld.]

Post by: Drilixer on August 30, 2003, 05:29:43 am: I used to play Black and White!!! Never went online though - just had fun creating tyranical/cruel creatures that enjoyed past times such as throwing civilians and lighting them aflame. :D

So you are saying that people should ignore spam and not answer stupid things on it? Yet you spam down the topic even lower with Black&White off-topics.

I\'m just saying that you shouldn\'t blame (or hate) a guy for wanting people to play his game. Sure he may have registered to this forum just to advertise for his game, but when I say that I just remember a guy named Planeshift with 4 post recruiting people to PS on another board and hear this: It was even on the wrong part of the forum. Although that post was much longer and better writthen.

I don\'t want to defend a spammer, but a developer. Lots of people that have actually made a game in yuong age have probebly done a post like this topic once or twice.
Title:
Post by: Monketh on August 30, 2003, 03:00:36 pm: *back off topic*
Nope, I wasn\'t very active in the forums there. (Scary huh? :P
My usual past alter ego was Dr. Dude, I embarassed myself a bit though since I was younger then.

Btw, Homeworld rocks! It was awesome, if you like 3d-rts\'s in space go buy it, it\'s cheap now. *Awaiting the arrival of hw2*
Title:
Post by: Moogie on August 30, 2003, 03:11:54 pm: Okay, I admit that wasn\'t exactly a smart thing to do, even if the original topic is already OT...

At least I didn\'t join in with the spam song. I do have some level of decency. :P

The thing is, he hasn\'t posted once without something stupid in there.

First post: Poor/shallow language, posted in \'General Discussion\' no less. \"Getting ass\"? \"you\'ll get stuck from behind... literally\"? Please... this forum is used by a wide range of agegroups. Such language is unacceptable.

Second post: \"I love you\" Pointless post, spam.

Third post: Suddenly trying to defend his offtopic spam... O.o

Fourth post: \"I STILL LOVE YOU*!\" Spam.

All in all, any halfwit can see why everyone started complaining. Just because I\'m the one who started arguing with you, doesn\'t mean you can lay all the blame on me. This is clearly a view shared by *at least* everyone else who has posted disapproved messages on this thread, so I\'m sorry to say, Niber, it looks like you\'re outvoted.
Title:
Post by: Kiern on August 30, 2003, 07:09:06 pm: I disapprove of both off-topics...does that help? :baby:

Since when did we start taking votes? Last time I checked there were more people on this board then the ones who have responded to this, I\'m sure there are others who think like Niber, their just not loud like most of the people who reply here.

...doesn\'t really matter anyways, it\'s the mods who decide what spam is and isn\'t
Title:
Post by: Drilixer on August 30, 2003, 07:39:39 pm: um... isn\'t this the off-topic forum?
Title:
Post by: Kiern on August 30, 2003, 10:03:27 pm: Yea, but it always bothers me when things go off-topic in the same thread, even if I am sometimes the cause, doesn\'t make it not bother me any...but that\'s just my opinion
Title:
Post by: Niber on August 30, 2003, 10:10:45 pm: Ok Mogura, I don\'t blaim you. Just giving my opinions on this kind of subject, and we have discussed those now and I don\'t want to defend too much of a guy that doesn\'t even visit this forum any more.

Yeah it might be as Kiern says that there could be more people with the same opinion as me but I\'m the only one dumb enough to take the-guy-that-don\'t-care-about-PS\'s side in a totally non-intresting matter ;)

Post by: Isgrimnur on August 30, 2003, 11:02:05 pm: You also may want to look at General Discussion as this post is still there just with moved placed in front of it and when you click it links to the Hydlaa Plaza version!!

Whats the point in moving a thread then leaving a link in its original position??

haha I just noticed that

Post by: Moogie on August 30, 2003, 11:18:23 pm: I noticed that too... kinda nullifies the point of moving threads.

Niber, it\'s okay, I know it\'s just your opinion and I didn\'t mean to sound like I was dictating who was right or wrong. It looks like we both cancel eachother out anyway, so... No hard feelings? :)

Title: I do check back
Post by: SummerBreakGame on August 31, 2003, 07:15:57 am: I don\'t approve of spamming, matter afact I hate it just as much. The problem with it is it\'s free and it works.

As to the comment about checking back on the boards, I\'ve checked back on every board that has had any reply.. For those that are hugely offended by the language in my original post. I\'m sorry I\'ll keep that in mind should I post elswhere.

There is no good way to get a site published. However, threw posting on message boards, and posting in irc channels. We\'ve pulled over a million hits.

Our product is good, but we have to get the word out.

A MMoRPG requires two things. Low bug count, and high user count. For a MMoRPG starting out, a high user count at the get go is very important. We saw this and we\'re trying not to crush anyones toes while still getting word out.

Post by: Abemore on August 31, 2003, 07:52:21 am: As a final comment from me: advertising in established communities to people who are content with where they are is bad form. There are plenty of forums dedicated to general gaming, free gaming, or MMO gaming that might welcome such advertisements. There are also websites who\'s only purpose is to list these free games so others can find them.

If, in fact, someone named Planeshift registered to another established community to advertise, then I would say that this person is also in bad form. I doubt seriously that it was a developer, however in the past the Public Relations devision of the PS team was very popular. Their responsibilities did include: \"bring net-surfers to the PlaneShift page.\" But just because PlaneShift has done it in the past does not make it proper netiquette. Haven\'t we all been blasted with enough advertisements?

On a side note, I probably would have ignored this thread entirely if it had originated in our off topic forum ;)
Title: This is on topic

EXPERIMENTAL: Off-topic chat board. Please do all your chit-chatting here. Moderators will delete obvious spam, overly hateful flames, and cussing but otherwise you have free reign to sink as low as you want.

Clearly making this the choice for someone respecting the board.

Title:
Post by: Abemore on August 31, 2003, 08:05:00 am: Not advertising would show more respect.

And I agree the forum descriptions are ambiguous. Maybe you should have hung around a while first to figure things out.
Also notice, nowhere does it say, \"Advertise Here.\"

Oh really :] You think so.. Cuz to me the name \\Luca (Talad) at the end of the post is familiar somehow..

Post by: lostprophet on September 03, 2003, 09:38:16 pm: If you\'re going to advertise though, summerbreakwhatever, at least make a few posts to make some friends first, so people take you seriously.

By the way, guys, am I respectable enough to start advertising my patented range of hair growth products yet?
