Someone make CrAz3d his own forum or something, this is rediculous I think we can read the news our self

[img]http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8329/crazed5ng.png[/img]

I second that. He should have his own RSS feed or something. It's just ridiculous..

With his name being posted so many times I'm surprised you managed to mis-spell it. :P

I was thinking the exact same thing today.  Give this guy his own forum FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Here's another idea:  Make your own website called the-news-incase-you-missed-it.com.

Aye.

Are you like the official news poster or something? Seems like you post every news article you read or come across.

:P

I really don't think it's that bad just incase I miss something always good to know about it.
It also usually sparks a good discusion on the topic itself.

Can I be moderator!? <3 CrAz3D :D

You'll come around.  The first dozen or so posts from Crazed, I just ignored them.  Even for a while after that, I wrote off complaints about it.  Now, I find myself agreeing with the people who think he posts too many news links.

I'll try to restrain myself in what/how much I post.
Looking at the 8 posts I have on the "front" page of the General section I see that:
-1 has little relevance to most people but still slightly just an interesting tid bit that one dude is convicted of murder & only got 17 yrs while another inmate has 110yrs for being convicted of multiple assaults.
-The basketball thing just seemed enteraining.
-Dog drug smuggling seemed rather 'feeling invoking', something people might be interested in talk about smuggling methods
-Unschooling doesn't seem logical to me, so I talked about it
--Everything else was posted and became rather interesting discussions

hmm to me crazed seems he has nothing to do with his life. You honestly need to get out and do something instead of spending all your time on vL  [img]http://smiliesftw.com/!/greddy2.gif[/img] and posting 3212312 threads a week.

And you need to stop flaming.

We could all post and complain about how he posts to much, or we could just simply say that if he over posts again with topics that aren't really relevant to anything that this forum represents, then delete or move his posts to the trash can. I'm pretty sure we've done this with other people in the past. Anyway, just a suggestion..

Edit: How about you ban that CrAzEd OMG CLONE!! guy. Please.

i want my own forum too

Here, the local High School Scholastic Bowl tournaments on TV get better ratings than the news. CrAz3D is just helping keep America (and Canada, and the UK, etc.) informed. :)

Actually, I think a 'commenting on the news' forum would be a good idea. It could be a subforum of general or politics, and Crazed would obviously be a good choice for moderator.

No, this is a bad idea.  The forums are getting split up into way too many categories.  If we keep going, soon we'll have a different forum for every new topic.

While we're on the subject, I think a lot of people would like it if I was given a 'General Religion Discussion' forum to keep my ranting in! =)

CrAz3D, your avatar is corrupt. I feel like I'm a stoner like GameSnake[x86] when I look at it. =(.

Maybe then there should be a rule that severely limits news posts to ones that are controversial? I don't think the a new topic should be spawned by a news link, but should be based on the person genuinely wanting to discuss the topic with the community.

I disagree. A highly categorised forum -- assuming that new categories are only added as they become necessary -- is a good indicator of growth. These forums are gaining more posters, and as such, the range of interests of its posters have broadened.

I think a news forum would be a good idea. Lots of news posts aren't really appropriate for general, but the threads are posted on and do develop into conversations. That seems to me to be a textbook case of the need for a new forum. Since discussions of current events are likely to be political in nature, making a news forum as a subforum of politics seems sensible.

I thought about the splitage too, then I decided the split forums  would keep everything much more organized for everyone.

News Craz3 Not Curved by Discontent:

It'd be simpler just to have Craz3d's network access revoked.  It's not as though he hasn't given enough justification over the last few weeks.

What justification other than me possibly over posting is there to remove me?  Maybe if the forum was more active it wouldn't seem as though I was so post whore-ish.

Stop posting news articles to our forums.  You're annoying lots of people and filling the forums with nonintellectual garbage most people don't care about other than to say "oh thats weird".

While the last part of that might be true, I don't see how it is "nonintellectual garbage" nor have I seen any rules about not posting news.

Yes, all of that is irrelevant to me. I do not live in the united states, or anywhere close to that border (You and lou dobbs would be great pals). People sueing the school system? Good, they're raising tuition in Canada, or in Ontario atleast. The bottom line is I don't come here to read news, I come here to help ppl with technical questions and ask some of my own, that's really about it.

uhm...then don't read it?
OMG, such a revelation.

People suing the schools system/state of California because they cant pass a math test is good?...fine, w/e.

I don't read them, it's that the forum is clogged with your posts, I think that's what people are annoyed about.

Not My Posts:
-Problem w/ Islam: I could just as easily posted that
-Afgahns protest cartoons part 2: I posted the first version of that thread
-NSV to avi/mpeg etc conveter: I've posted stuff about converters too
-Recording local sounds: I haven't seen anything or posted anything about this before to my knowledge
-Free Print Microsoft Journal Subscription:
-100 posts & I'm a dumbass: I haven't posted anything like it
-Best OS for server: I don't recall posting anything about/related to an OS before
-Cell phone stuff: I've posted about phones, but not ringtones or wallpaper as I recall
-Buy Danish: Relation to cartoons, I could've posted that too

So out of 9 posts there are what, 3 totally originally posts...most stuff on most forums is just a rehash of stuff that's already happened.
If I don't post it someone else will (in cases)

You know, if you want to post something, then post it. If you don't want to read it, then don't. THere's nothing that says what you can or can't post about.

And for those of you who obviously don't want to read it but do anyway, why are you getting pissed off about it? You're not paying to be here. If you hate it so bad, YOU go start your own forum, and actually make a contract that must be signed or whatever, so that your members post things that only YOU want to see.

Oh and if you'll notice, this is the only thread where people seem to be talking about it. There are plenty other things you can read rather than this. And they aren't things about the news either! You have no reason to get pissed off.

Hey guys, heres a novel idea. Don't rely on vL forums as your source of news!

Thats not what is being argued about. Its wether Craz3d is allowed to continue posting news or if he gets a forum.

True, it's not the topic, but it's the reason for the topic.

There's no "argument." He's not getting his own forum, and he's been asked not to post all these pointless factoids anymore. End of story.

I believe there was some sort of debating about a 'news sub-forum' which, of course, would not be mine as it is whoever hosts the vL forums forum.

W/e though, I'll just continue to watch what I post

Crazed, you're completely missing the point, or misstating it on purpose.  I hope you're just misunderstanding and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and explain once again.

1)  Forums exist for people to have interesting discussions.
2)  Forums have topics, people expect to read on-topic subject matter.
3)  News sites post news, you can go there to read about it.
4)  You were simply linking news to the forum, nothing interesting, just links to news.
5)  Your action turned the forum into a news site.  This is what annoyed everyone.
6)  Sometimes you would post news and comment on it, but the news would be so localized, nobody else could care.

I hope this helps, because I get the feeling from your posts that you're indignant about being asked to clean up your posting habits.  If so, then "you'll get over it" ($1 royalties to Yoni), or you'll be uncomfortable while you're here.

Also, people assume you're intellectually invested in a topic (care about it) if you post one or two with a thoughtful commentary on the subject matter.  Linking a news article and saying "Discuss" makes most people skip right over it.

I haven't misunderstood, I believe I've 'cut back' on posting news QUITE a bit frm my 'peak posting'.

As far as the posting an article & just saying "comment" it is probably because I agree quite a bit with the article and would like to have other opinions/view points on it & see what people think about whatever subject, is that so wrong to do?

But the point is you didnt really explain your opinion. It would have been better if you went into detail on your opioion then created a debate between others.

I just didn't want to restate things said in the artice but I spose I will from now on.

Although, I don't see why such a double standard exists between me and members of vL.

It's simple.

vL > You.

[/quote]

Enlightenment follows.  Two standards are for two distinct groups.  One group is vL members.  The other group is everyone else.  Are you keeping up?  Inclusivity and exclusivity always implies double standards.  vL is an inclusive group, not truely exclusive.  We include those people we want in our group, and they get the vL standard.  We do not exclude those we do not want, we simply do not include them, thus they get the everyone else standard.
