Emma Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 In the closed thread about Gundam Wing, you have pointed out that the member should not post his opinion of disliking GW in a GW section. So, when did this forum become the Gundam Wing section? I think this is a forum to discuss anything about Gundam, not just Gundam Wing. Just want you to clarify that and feel free to close this thread as this can be considered as a "spam". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 I gotta say, I think that thread was actually great. Im not a fan of animes where the main charactors are 12 and 13 years old. I also am with vicious on that whole rookie taking down vets thing. I mean, a group of 5 rookies who can all handle hardend vets, who are all entrusted with the most powerful gundams in the universe. I loved the animation of wing, I liked the story. I thought the gundam designs were also awesome, but the stuff already mentioned by vicious really did take away the the overall quality of the series. and oh yea, this is a gundam forum not specific to wing, I know shy guy knows that, it was just a slip of the tounge probably.

Shy Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 [size=1]Well, the problem with a topic like the "Gundam Wing Sucks!!" thread is that a lot of people tend to spam in them. People here usually do not know how to criticize something without blantantly flaming it. Vicous was not trying to create an intelligent conversation about the differences between Gundam Wing and the original universe - he was just rambling on. Really, there is nothing wrong with disliking Gundam Wing here, but the post itself didn't have much of a point to it. Vicous goes on about how "Char could kick DeathScythe's butt anytime he wanted", that is Spam. That is along the lines of the "Who is the most powerful warrior?" threads that plague the Dragonball forum. And for future reference: Please PM the moderators personally with your complaints or questions. I'm not going to close this now, since I think others might have something to say about it. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Posted December 20, 2002 Author Share Posted December 20, 2002 So, the thread is closed simply because it is a flame bait. That has nothing to do as a "spam". Then, every single discusssion can be labelled as a flame bait in some way. This is just a question concerning this board, so I don't think PM is appropiate here as other may be interested in the situation, too. Well, if you want PM, please close this thread as that means you don't think this can turn into a discussion. I don't think it is "personal" enough for just a private message.

Emma Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 Here is a definition of the term "spam": [url]http://spam.abuse.net/overview/whatisspam.shtml[/url] I don't think the message qualify as a spam at all. It i just a term people tend to overuse. However, that is not my question. My question is: when did this board become a Gundam Wing board? Killing a thread before any reply is just like jailing a person before they commit any crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 [size=1]Fine, whatever. At the end of the day this is my call, and I think I made the right decision. There is no clear-cut definition for what spam is. It is a broad term I use to describe something stupid that is posted on a message board. Everyone has their own opinion on it, the idea of a site trying to become the Oxford English Dictionary of net-speak is ridiculous. This is not a Gundam Wing board, this is a Gundam board. People seem to only post about GW here for some reason, but it isn't a big deal. This is your forum too, people would not get so offended by one closed topic if there was more activity here. If you want more topics about the different aspects of the Gundam universe, make them. If you want to make a thread because I closed a topic, do that too. But I will close more of these topics, because questions and comments to the moderators should be addressed via PM, or the Suggestions forum. You have been here over a year Emma, you should know how things are handled by now. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
