Ask yourself these questions..
Is there a point to my post?
Is it relevant?
Does it matter?
Can you spell the words in the subject line?
Is it a public topic?
if the answer is NO to any of those..dont post...
to quote Khayman...
HOLY SHIT!!!! What is up with stupid fuckin people?!?!?!?
This is Vampire Rave, kids, REMEMBER??
NOT GOD DAMN JERRY SPRINGER!!!
Stop with the needless posts already...
damned idiots...
*snort *******
HEAR HEAR!
I was ready to tank my profile on VR because of the plethora of needless bullshit I had to wade through to get to something of substance. I want to think, to sink my brain into a topic, not feel it melt and run out of my damned ears. ESPECIALLY when the topic (spelling and grammar aside) isn't really a topic, but more of a statement, "Gee i like strawberries!" Or a question that is just ... bleh. Nonsense. Things like the colour of your underwear, sorry Xuchilbara, and and just how much you are obsessing over someone ... I don't care to know. Or have to wade through.
BAH.
Ok, let me see. What colour are your underwear, woot I'm a this is one thread, woot i am now a that is another thread ... those two belong in one thread in the personals, tracking your progress through the rankings. Not a bad idea, just mis-applied.
You remind me of a small child that had not yet learned to control his impluses.. Not a very attractive trait for an adult I must say.
I'm so happy that someone finally formally confronted this issue because now maybe those who are posting random things will tone it down a bit.
LOL ROFLMAO
hehehe...
guess that point i made struck a chord with sister-girl over there...
Yes, Khay, that point jabbed a sore spot and prodded me to vomit my bile out. I feel better now :)
Ok, that was a disgusting image i just did not need to create.
My apologies.
spamming is a good way to get kicked out of certain sites, so is massing pictures of hitler and tubgirl.
*snrk* damn right, Req... not that i have money for food... but had i eaten lunch today.... ida revisited it.... rofl
Yeah, I agree! Did you all notice how all the intellectual posts don't last that long? I've come to notice that all the sexual oriented threads are always at the top of the forum... that's sad really. I have to trapse through sexual garbage for hours, just to come upon a thread I was quite enjoying, to find that it is buried beneath this sess pool. Sorry I rant sometimes lol
I am not normally submissive, but...
*kneeling at Scarlette's feet*
Thank you; escpecially addressing the spelling and grammar issues.
Finaly! Thanks Scarlet.
In some time maybe we can all read important thoughts and LEARN something from the forum. That one big reason I joined the rave
Sex! SEX! Sex!
Now, this thread should never fall off the front page.
And to you all.
You have to look by my spelling. Im from Sweden and I cant sitt and correct every word with a lexicon. Would take me a whole night.
*bows
Ok, Andie, there is a difference between honestly misspelled words due to someones strong efforts working in a second (or even third) language, and some illiterate twit who doesn't bother to even take the care of proofreading their ORIGINAL language.
I am, sometimes, the illiterate twit.
You, in my opinion, have no worries, dear Andie.
(And, yes, I did proofread this post lol)
Andie, don't sweat it, man. You type better english than a lot of people here. You're good to go, bro!
well if i have some misspelled words .. id like to apoligize but i have dyslexia.. and i usally type it the way it sounds in my head thatn how its actully spelled
Scarlett, you have good intentions... But this problem will not go away. With an ever increasing influx of new members, this will always be an issue.
I agree. As long as there are breeders, there will be idiots.
I think if my first batch of pure kin come out that stupid, I'll eat them.
-Anyways-, seems my threads do decent till soemone in all caps destroys them.
Or soemthing about pie is added.
You all are such wonderful people. I admire you for at least trying to make people see this site is not for such purposes as they seem to use it for. Thank you very much,
Danielle
i have only one thing to say to all of you Admin types as well as senior "members" THANK YOU!!!! from the bottom of my cold black heart.. THANK YOU!!!! b i haate all the stupid pointless shit thats posted ..its a waste of my time that i could be spending doing something better like ..uummmmmm..dunno.. :OP~~
maybey posting on scarlett's post .loll.. :O
*grabs Wraith and drags him into a dimly lit room *
MUHA MUHAHA
*smoochies the sexy assed bitch that posted this thread.... only an excuse to smooch her really*
U know, I do belive, I don't have a single thought in my head worth posting as a thread.... my only value? Resident social worker lol Moreish's Clinic? >:)
Yea well said Scarlett.. moronic posts hopefully will die now, it needed someone to stand up and say what you and Dan did. How a post , for example about Vampire Rave merchandise got turned into a sex theme topic I have no idea....but then there is merchandise and there is *merchandise* o^O Hopefully like Khayman said in her post we can return to the days were we learned from what was posted about our choosen ifestyles, and not have to listen to the kind of chat I'd imagine you would hear in a hookers room or at junior school.
I didn't bother with conversing at school.....too infantile....but it guess that was the point...
and now back to your regular programming...this has been a word from your sponsors......sasquatch
Amazing efforts as they may .. we can only hope most will take this into concideration. But as it grows larger I am sure we will see a growth in the misinformed posts once again. And as for spelling issues we all know how to read typo it's not that hard. as for I reading and writing in 4 languages and English not being my first I belive those that are trying are doing a rather good job. (jusy haveta remember I rarely use coma's and periods lol and I've been speaking english for over 20 years) Kepp up the good work ;)
*puts her head down on the desk* k as for my spelling mistakes lol I'm sorry I just woke and its dark in here!! but ya get the just of the Idea .. and I DO reread befor I post it I just didnt catch them :(
Thank you! Some of us truly appreciate this stand you've taken, but it's sad that it had to be taken in the first place.
the thing with bad posts in public is why forums have moderators.... it's the greater internet fuckwad principle at work people think that they are anonomous (they arn't) and that they can say whatever they wish (they can't it's a community and communitys have standards)

for those who havn't seen it yet (even tho it's a classic by now)
i think this is the place for useless messages...
so this is a useless message...
i tried to make it look empty, but as soon as i explain y i did it it's no longer empty...
befor you post: remember you cant do what you want because there are some people who have issuse with having alaugh..i mean people lighten up if people spam never mind it if you focuse on it itl drive you mad i think were all mad enough already. hehehe
spam drives me nuts. However... I don't know if you're aware of the MAGNITUDE of voracious spamming we've had to deal with this week.
God/Goddess bless a SYS OP cause You'd have found me on top of a clock tower with and air rifle pickin' off frisbee golfers screamin "IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT!!!"
*ahem*...
Tension breaker... had to happen...
MOVIN' ON FOLKS...
*laughs* Oh K, you silly goose.
We should post our personal pet peeves for threads, me thinks.
Mine obviously is ALL CAPS, and those little ones who feel they are more superior though they've been on the site less than I. They do not have an inkling of what is going on, but insist they're king/queen of the whatchamacallit.
Ditto.
I agree. We had a pet peeve thread once a while back.. I *think* Taymos started it. Personally I thought it was a fun read.
Pet Peeves... things that creep you out...
Obsessive Compulsive thing we do...
I consistantly lock the doors to my truck. I'd go back like FIVE TIMES before I actually made it into the store... cause Ive been knocked in the head so many times i forget things ive done/said in the last day or so.... and I lived in a not so good part of downtown Richmond for a while, the habit formed of locking my car doors... and then I forgot that I actually DID in fact lock em...kept goin back. Made my brother NUCKIN' FUTS.
**looks back at her last post**
Well damn... THAT was random... hehehehe
And another BUMP to keep this on the front page a bit longer. :-)
Forum peeves:
-Poor spelling from people who have english as thier primary language.
-People who don't know where the shift key. ie Folks who don't use any capital letters when they type.
-People who don't use ANY punctuation and type an entire paragraph with no periods, commas, etc
-People who do all of the above :-)
RAVE ON! Oops..sorry about the caps.
I echo your words, Jason. I will hold up my promise to delete posts that are not legible.
I hate the idea of censoring someone because of laziness, but keep in mind, the more intelligent you express yourself, the more people will take you seriously.
Sloth like behaivor is evil....
And so is sloth like behavior, right Mel?
:-P Oh, I just couldn't let that go.
hey Mel.. you be the boy, and ill be the girl..oh wait..wrong place...*drags her to the Scarlett room*
**Trots off to the Scarlett Room to see what kind of punishment Melody has in mind...**
Hey!
Jason! No picking on the poor spelling, bad grammar people like me, or I bite you >:)
We try our best... and fail so well at it!
will i belong anywere???
bad grammer is the bain of my exciztence,,
except me for who i am----- that is a faceless person some were in the world mmuhhaaaaa youll never catch me bye!!!
Oh Morey if you're going to bite me, then there is no way I'm going to stop. (Pick, pick, pick, pick!)
Ok, apparently this needs bumped to the top again.
*bump*
Well I guess my post's hit a nerve in Jason then *grinz* as I said coma's and periods just don't always work well with me .. I apperntly put them in the wrong spots. so to stop my own confusion I just use ... as a break in sentance when IIIII take a breath. If people don't understand then thats alright! But speaking other languages first befor English doesnt make me lazy cuz I never learned how to get the coma's and periods down pat lol
as a response to the main Q : surley what is reasonable and worth saying is a matter of opinion, what one may consider spam, the writter may consider it a valid point ! i thought thats what these things were all about expressing your views and feelings no matter what they were.
Nic, you didn't hit a nerve. Not at all. What you write is coherent and readable. No worries, love.
And ladies, just keep on bumpin' those hips and booties! ;-D
topic general discussion
humm well is hard to interpret what would be a interest to one and exclude another ... my point being that this is supposed to be a general discussion forum and that being said
is pretty easily determined to post to what interest you and not pay attention to what doesn't
is just my opinion on the matter
: and disppears back into the dungeon:
Well thats Great then hehe
Cuz the best I can do is what I've learnt!
Tho I do try and use punctuation. I admit, I suck at it, but what I do write does seem to get across and people understand my...in breaks :) *grinz*
And Yes what may seem a valid point to one person MAY NOT be valid to another. But hell if you SEEN some of the posts they are refering to ...You'd get the point lol
I've been told since high school that I have a getto bootie, so I'm using it to bump this right back to the top. I just got done looking at some of the posts. Ick!
*Agrees wholehearted ly with Bev and her ghetto bootie*
Ick indeed
I am the Bumpster; from Bumpville; just call me Bumpy Bumpyington!!
You are right this is vampire rave and part of it is being able to express yourself. I agre to a certain extent some threds are stupid but most are worth posting.
*looks around innocently, whistling a soulful number as she accidently trips over this thread and makes a mess of it.
She furrows her brows, picks her self up, dusting off her long dark cloak and gives the thread a firm boot up the middle... directly to the top of the list....*
*gets her big butt off the chair and uses it to BUMP this thread*
ok as an idea.. why dont we put the title of the *bump* into our bumps?
It's puts the lotion on the thread, so it gets a bump again.
*loves to bump rear ends with all the beautiful ladies* lol
*bump* Because some folks really do need this guidleline ...
people,
I know I have speling problems...but is that a reason to discriminate me?
How would you fin your way on Serbian?
Or sny other language...Not everyone speaks and writes englis whole his life!
I could`n make more spelling mistakes even if i wanted to!
I wouldn't say it was directed to those people who have English as a second language hon, nor was it directed to those who have disabilities like dysliexia. It was directed towards everyone else who just doesnt give enough of a damn to make their posts intelligent. The lazy ones. (just my opinion....if I'm wrong, someone please let me know)
Sory, I think that I`m pissed of at myself because of my mistakes...the ones who mentioned them are not guilty for them, and it was not said directly to me.....
so...
I ow You all an apologie
Sory
realu I am
No, Banshee, it was NOT directed at you, but at someone who HAS read and written (presumably) the English language all of his/her life.
Banshee, the guilty ones know who they are.
So, in the infamous words of tv. fageddaboudit!
words of insignificance
needless thoughts convey
to bring forth an attitude
that sizzles in the open for all to see .....
what by all means is a bad post ?
perfection makes it righteous humm
ahhhhhhhhh for what I see
is most like anywhere
there are those who are in
and those who are out .....
is why I reside in the dungeon
alone and secluded
just the way I like it he he
It is not about who is in and who is out ...
Duplicate posts, posts with incredibly bad spelling (I've seen some almost incomprehensible ones - and not from those to whom English is a second or more language ... from some to whom it is their Mother tongue), worse grammar, or asking about something like whether you think fuzzy socks are the hilight of your day, or whether your crush on VR (if you have one) wants to cyber - these are specious; these are what get many of us in an uproar.
Just a post about double posting-- my power keeps flickering when I'm at my house, so that's why it's double posting as of late. :P
Like a red-headed stepchild, yes.
I -do- have some red in my hair, you know. :D
*whistles a little french tune as she subtly bumps this thread with her booty to the top of the pile again*
LOL I didnt't think anyone else knew that phrase - I use it quite frequently hahha " I'll beat you like a red-headed stepchild"lol
It's a phrase born and bred in the south darlin'.
I'm about as Southern as you can get at times. Family line has Hatfield in it, and I'm a proven Daughter of the American Revolution decendant as well. :-p
Nara, sugar, what I meant by double posts was not the accidental or unintentional two duplicate replies to a thread. I meant the posting of a second thread on the same topic as an existing thread, simply because the poster did not bother to look to see if one already existed.. I apologize for being unclear. :)
*poke* Nara said soemthing about her power flickering at the house and it caused double posting of replies. I thought she was saying that in response to my previous post. I was ust making sure she knew I wasn't griping at that.
(sings in a child like voice) you got spanked by Cancer...you got spanked by Cancer..na na na na na
LOL
LOL
Hey now. I don't think that qualified as a spanking ... more of a chiding.
I understand and agree with The Wench but It took me to long to get down here to write something. So how about closing the thresd and reopening it again with what she said but then keep it closed so that it doesn't run on forever.
well, nobody would be here if they idnt have something to say (except those lank prfies which drive me mad) but some have more substance then others. I suppoe you need both crude and intelligent posts so that everyone has someone to talk to; its better then having no forum at all, but do agree with you onthe sex obsession in treads. Whats the point.
Um....I dunno. What's Ultimo mean? I was spoofing the name of a professional wrestler: Ultimo Dragon. Sad, isn't it?
Ok, upon checking the translation for "ultimo" in all of the romance languages, it does indeed mean "last," or some connotation of the word.
No, that was not my last bump.
Semper refero!
Ok, I feel like a forum whore posting three times in a row, but I just ran across this:
http://users.adelphia.net/~kamel/Posting.html
and thought it was pretty damn funny. Not to mention appropriate. Cut and paste into your browser.
Some notes before you check it out:
1) The clip is about the Valve Software's STEAM forums. Valve is the creator of games Half-life and Half-life 2.
2) The VR forums don't have stickies and I believe the SEARCH function is still under construction.
3) I'm going to pimp my profile by putting the link there, so all you lazy people can just click on in.
That he is! LOL
Anyway Big BUMPIDY BUMP for this thread since some people (ok 1 person who oughta know better) need to read this again ASAP!!
I agree Angel, thats why I came in here to, to bump, but you beat me to it. ;)
Bumpity Bump!
(I have been waiting to say that too! )
People need to read BEFORE posting.
Hey, all my sista's...this needs to be bumped several times a day....so....
B-U-M-P!!!
*Chaos run's lie lightning goes to his knee's and catches Moreish*
How you doin?
*wiggles eyebrows*
LOL
Closing this... Its way off-topic. I'll be creating Sticky Posts soon, so this will be covered...
