Thats because these forums have been infested with retards who have mostly ruined what was once a very good site. No point in even mentioning the care cup etc as most of the "younger" members on here actually think its cool to get banned so there e-buddies can pat each other on the back.

You will then usually find these young tards in the topics " a girl has just looked at me and i shit myself, what should i do", and " i have just touched a beer bottle with my lips, im so pissed, but its not for me".

So dont worry in 10 years time when they hit puberty the care cup will vanish.

what I've been meaning to say is that so many AWMs and temp bans have been given out lately, that hardly anyone cares anymore. When you get one, you hardly read though it nowadays. If you send them out too often and for pretty much anything they loose their effectiveness. Some mods are more guilty of than than others obviously and I have to say that even with it's shortcomings BF2s has the best mod team I have come across on the internet. They usually find a decent balance between maintaining order and being abusive nazis. Maybe the rules need to be expanded. No "inappropriate content" is a rather vague rule. I just wish we could go back to the mod style of a year ago *dreams of the good ol' days*

And I do realize that the mods had to step up their efforts after a flood of crap recently, of which I am guilty myself (although I do try to contain stupid senseless posts to threads that are already doomed). Oh well, I suppose we don't live in a perfect world

That's all for my ramblings today

I'm so not with it I haven't even seen one of these cups or maybe just bypassed it as I'm too not with it to know what one is, thanks for pointing that out.

I fully agree with your thoughts regarding people who don't have an interest in a particular thread but reply it and say "I don't care about such n such", happened last week my reply was, "Well you must do as you have read the thread and taken the time to reply".

Simple isn't it, if you don't like say for eg "Ipod Phone" don't post in the thread and say "I don't like ipod phone" or some negative stuff.

Ive brought up stuff before and as a eg I'll use football. A thread is developing about football and someone will post in it "Football is shit". Can't be too many people around the world love it, same for a particular rock group. You may not like it but that dosen't make it shit.

This kind of thing will always exist here as new members come, old members who know the score go.

Maybe I'm talking shit, which I do well, I dunno.

There will always be times when rules are enforced with greater intolerance over a period of time ... there may be different reasons for that like new Mods, extreme spamming like rick rolls or care cups that tends to flurish for awhile before people understand temps are increasingly being handed out ...

Just like lolcats was a phenomenon for a short period so has carecups and rick rolls, this is not something new - it has been so since the start of bf2s ...

I got my first ever the other week for spam and hadn't ment to just copied the 3 members above but with a slight relation to the thread title I had done it in good humour, felt gutted as if I'd let the side down, myself down and my squeaky clean record had gone. I fully accepted it as rules are there for all of us and the mods do a difficult job but do it very well. I was genuinely gutted.

Rather than posting care cups in threads that in your opinion are "stupid/unrelated/previously discussed", it is recommended to stay quiet. If you read the rules, updates and news, you would find that the owner himself has stated that:

[direct quote] "If you have nothing to contribute, shut the fuck up" [/direct quote]

In other words, there is never a need for that kind of posting.

I don't know about you, but you are able to IGNORE such statements. These kind of things are not THAT annoying, I mean get over it.

And like all things: If you ignore them, they'll go away. Give it attention, and it gets worse.

It's about keeping the forums clean, and to the point. I don't see how it's srs bsns.

It's annoying, unnecissary, take it somewhere else.

I Am I furious over this? No. Not at all. It is just unnecissary. If you want it your way, where "ignore it" and "it doesn't matter". Then I'll just spam DESUDESUDESU posts in every thread you make. I'd get banned obvbiously, but you get my point. And that's what I am doing, making a point.

When have these forums ever been "clean, and to the point"?

Maybe it's the end of the world, maybe it's not, I don't care. But if it's obviously something intended to annoy people, do you seriously think what can be construed as making a big deal out of it, and getting pissed off, is the best way to deal with it? I'm not saying you're wrong. Far from it. Just that I don't think this is the best way to deal with it.

Edit: Steel, can you seriously not tell the difference between a purpose-designed game such as BF2 or CoD4, and just fucking with people for the sake of fucking with people? Besides, the Nazi comparison, besides being unnecessary, is irrelevant. As far as I know there have always been rules here, analogous to the laws of a country, as in follow them or there will be punishment. It's like committing a crime, then whining about fascist dictatorships when you get arrested.

The forums have, to a degree been clear and to the point. The mods/admins have kept this forum in shape enough for it to be just a good forum, regardless of the fact that it was started based upon a videogame.

I don't see what is so wrong with my post, according to you. Rather than be cutesy and nice, I posted this to be direct, and to the point, and call people who behave liek this what they are. I have stated a few times, I am not all pissed off, though the text may seem other wise.

It's like going to your favorite bar, only to find a pack of retards have become regulars, and act like jackasses. This forum, through the many I have read on, been around, is one of my favorites, Since , as TMo said, there are rules against it, just stop it. That's all i'm saying .

And Steel's comment. I lol'ed. But....duh.

mkay, and the purpose of the game you mention is not to have fun?
fun the intent of the game,
fun, what people intend when they post a care-cup on your post?
I've had my share of care-cups and negative feedback on my posts and pass it on as free speech or freedom of expression,
if someone does post you a care-cup then obviously they cared enough to do so, i.e. your post was not in vein it was read and replied to.

Well ,you have a point, and doing it occasionally is fine I guess, but when one person posts the hilarious care cup, and 50 people quote it, what's the point? I don't call ESPN and tell them I don't care for sports... you know? People post things you may not care about. THEY DO other people do, just because you don't doesn't mean you have to derail a thread for it. It's called forum etiquette and It's kinda required here. Or the bans are unleashed.

There are many forums, image boards, etc., for spam comments, derailing threads for lulz, this isn't one of those places, THAT is why I posted this.

My take: people care enough to tell you they don't care. Derailment, but it's the people's opinion. Only, there opinion would be viewed better if it was constructive.
