Subject: Does it Bother Anyone Else?

Written By: CatwomanofV on 09/16/05 at 1:34 pm

Is it just me or are other people bothered by the way some people are posting "unessential" remarks on the photo thread that Andrea took a long time to create? Maybe those people will read this thread and remove those posts themselves or do you think we should petition Chucky to remove them for us?

I'd agree with you on that.

Took her a while to do and it states plain and clear what it's there for.

My thoughts as well.

Andrea can also lock the topic after the changes are made so that no one can post and if they want to put pics in - they would have to pm Andrea to let her know ;)

We thought about that when she first put it up but she said that wants to leave it open for anyone to post their own pic because she said that she may not always be here.

I can understand that for sure. But because she stated exactly hat the thread is for - she shouldnt have to monitor it either. If people would learn to read and heed what is being said or asked of them - then there wouldnt be a problem. Unfortunately - some people just choose to ignore.  :-\\

I PM'd Andrea about it expressing my opinion a while back (I thought the whole idea was that it was supposed to be a gallery and therefore avoid the prospect of having a second thread exactly the same as the first).

She said if it gets too much, she may ask Chucky to clean it up. Why the thread can't be locked I don't know and only opened when Andrea decides to add more photos to it.

I could lock it.. but the problem is, what if things change and I'm not around here anymore in, say, three months??  Not that I'm planning on abandoning the boards or anything, but we never know...things happen in life.  I might say something stupid one day and get banned, who knows? ;D

Maybe I should rephrase the topic somehow??  I put necessary comments meaning comments along with the photograph, like "this is me in 1986"  or "I am the one on the top right"..  or "this is me with my daughter"  I don't want to say "NO COMMENTS" because then people might think they can't describe their photos... maybe there's a better way to phrase it though?

The true answer to that is stay forever and don't get banned.  ;D

Isn't this what we did in the first thread?

I'm Draconian about this so I say 'No Comments'.  ;D

It does bother me. Andrea put a lot of time and effort to create a "clean" photo thread with necessary comments only, and that's what should be there. After the unnecessary posts are removed, maybe Andrea should lock up the thread, and unlock it when appropriate.

Yeah, I agree.

I was just re-reading it recently - thinking some more people had pics, and it was about a half page of "comments". Admittedly, 5 or 10 isn't that bad, but pretty soon it could turn into the other thread - one picture and 3 pages of comments apiece.

Maybe Chucky could move those into the main "Show us" thread or just delete 'em altogether (since some wouldn't make sense out of context).

Maybe someone could PM those who were chatting in there and ask them to remove their posts.  Anytime I make a mess I'm responsible for cleaning it up.  Why shouldn't they be?  Chucky shouldn't have to go clean their mess either.

Yeah people need to lay off comments. I like the thread but I think it should just be pictures alone.

Written By: BrianMannixGirl on 09/17/05 at 9:44 am


Yes. Yes it does.


I second that.

The whole point was a comment free thread that people could scroll thru easily to find pics of members.

I dont mind comments inside the post with the actual photo of course !!  But people dont need to overload the thread with silly replies.

I vote with Cat to clean the thread up and return it to Odyssey's original plan.

I don't know why the post came out like that, but here is what it should have said, although you probably got the gist of it anyway:

"No, but you might say I slayed your mom last night."

Excalibur is a manwhore.  It's okay to come in second and not cum in seconds.
