Yes, you are a fool for assuming as such. Shame on you. For being a proponent of "intellectual thought," you seem to severely lack the ability to see things from another's angle. Not only that, but you took action before you asked that person to clarify the meaning of the statement. Jumping to conclusions, shall we say?

nice job there snowman, what i wanted to do but you do it in a better way. hmmm, jusun's salt thread and now these threads ive seen make me think hes acting like a hippocrite.
i realize the quality of posts should be important, but the standards you're setting are really too high, as several people have already pointed out. 200+ words? i think in mai 9-20 months of membership i've made less than 10 posts with that amount of words. i also realize that many of mai posts have perhaps been useless to the thread topic or may not have contributed much, but i highly doubt they discourage or insult the original thread starters. if this policy is implemented, the amount of posts will dramatically decrease. people will be intimidated by the amount of thought that has to go into each post and will refrain from posting. most people also won't take the time to read lengthy replies.
as for the mod/supermod policy - that seems like an interesting idea, but i don't know if it would be fair. i understand moderators should contribute to their forums, but do they necessarily ahve to be an expert? what if it's just a hobby they're fond of or something?
yeah i generally don' t read things that long
unelsss they are a joke

i know this doesn't prove anything, but i find it annoying you do things like this and turn around and make a post like you just did in this thread about the rest of the forum being the problem.

Sure, i've thought about the useless posts that are in the forums, but i never would have dreamt of enacting a policy like this. This intellectual apartheid your trying to create all for the eventual utilitarian views of the administrator. It's repulsive, it really is. This seperation of members based on their intellectual standing is sickening. I don't care if it's garbage...no need to enforce inquisition on those who didn't even mean to cause . I'm going to start laughing when we start seeing negative post counts, cause this is really absurd. I know you had your reasons for posting and usually i let whatever you say go without directly confronting it, but this is really an interesting action you've decided to take.

The people you hope to attract through the elimination of the beauracracy is failing through your creation of a new one. The overtaking of the old farm only for the new animal farm to become exactly what they hoped to get rid of. People aren't going to want to come to a forum where they have to be "smart enough" based on whatever we perceive through their online postings. As victor said, this is really biased. This is sickening. Please, tell me how this isn't hypocritical. We're supposedly getting rid of the beaurocracy only to put up another one. Let's make it democratic, and deduct post counts so as to level everyone equally, and then gradually filter out everyone whose not as smart or whatever as everyone else based on their posts. The entire forum will be one big beaurocracy. What are you doing? The democratic idea could work, it's worked on forums like crossx.com and the like but their mods stay mods for as long as they want or until they get out of control or whatever. I think it'd be a hastle to have constant elections. Hm, but whatever you want.
quote:may i so politely ask where in that statement did i ever mention about "eliminating bureaucracy"? or did you think i was not intellegent enough to realize that democracy was in itself a bureaucracy? dont insult my intellegence, i am fully capable enough to realize that myself without you having to point that out for me. with that said, your whole aurgument about 'animal farm' would be invalid then wouldnt it? i merely wanted a change in how things were run in these forums, thats all. and how is my approach biased? wow, you must be on a roll today with these baseless assumptions, because i plainly do not see how it can be. enlighten me if you will.

Off your #1, i'm not really sure how this works with forums, as victor stated, like "random thoughts" or "personal/other pictures" and "artwork." Seriously, do you expect long circumlocuting posts just so we can get above 200 words? That's absurd, in teh cases of a picture, one liners are fine. I know what you mean when people write something really long and all they get in return is "wow, that is interesting" or soemthing like that. I've probably had this happen more than most people on this forum and i dont' take offense to it. As my ma' TM11 points out, it's not bad, it's not insulting so it's better than an offensive remark. I don't care, and if me, someone who this has happened to a lot doesn't care...how many others do? I'm sure i don't feel differently than everyone else. Different forums serve different purposes. PP and OP and random thoughts and artwork and reception and all those forums like that don't need 200+ words. I mean i've written large compositions in teh debate forum for no one to EVER respond (one thread comes to mind "masculine and feminine"). I'd rather have had someone say "interesitng" or something than nothing. I'm not really that discouraged cause i dont' care that much, but i don't think one liners are that bad. That's asking for too much, and asking for people to needlessly create long posts filled with nothing more than words repeating themselves just so they can appear long. Seriously though, do you realize how many complaints i get becasue of the size of my posts? People don't want to read it, they wont' and they just skip over it. Either that, or they assume i'm mad becuase i wrote so much. I would not need to put that message in my signature if this wasn't happening on this forum because i have to disclaim everytime i write a longer post. If people are like this then i dont' see how meaningful replies would be able to help attract people when peopl ejust want a place to get together and share ideas without reading a novel. Think realistically for a second, we have a lot of freshmen and a lot of younger kids on teh forum. I myself am only 18, probably as old as you, but people our age don't tend to want to come online and type novels for intellectual vigor. If you want an environment of high schoolers who want to do that, go to crossx.com, you'll find whatever you want there and more. This is a kpop forum, the mention of that doesn't really entail the words "intellectual vigor" in my mind, i don't see why it would attract it. A forum for that purpsoe would attract that audience, but what the image put out seems two faced in a way. We have a kpop forum, and then when poeple come to join they are immediately assessed and filtered in order to see if they reach the standards. These standards aren't realisitc. I like a lot of the shorter posters, like alex who posts are really contributive and i like what he brings to the forum. Will he be gone becuase he doesn't post 200+ words? I hope not, that'd be just stupid. But if it's what you want then ok. Or are we going to start deducting post counts until everyone gets into the negative range? haha. It'll scare more poeple than it will attract. Too authoritative if you ask me. We have a new elimination of the beaurocracy through democracy, adn then now we turn around and have a huge liberal aspect of the forum administration that goes and filters everything, like a huge censorship...ugh.

i kind of all ready talked about this. But, it really doesn't discourage me that much and i'm sure a lot of people who post long posts like me and some others don't feel so discouraged. I don't think the forums will regress into a demented community either. I haven't left becuase of some of the one liners i get. It's nice to know people appreciate what i said, even if they didn't read it cause i really don't know hehe. But, granted people probably leave because of that...though i've really NEVER seen that happen on these forums EVER, and i've been here pretty much since the beginning.

This really is offensive (yes, "the purpose of htis wasn't to offend" but well, you can't just disclaim and then say whatever you want cause then you'd make disclaimers have no worth by your abuse of them, i realize intent, but if you've read any of my posts (the ones that tend to be hmm really long) you'd realize how little i care about intent in regards to anything). Have you never been to the debate or enlightenment forum? How do you have the audacity to possibly say that after even clicking on ONE of those threads. There are plenty of posts longer than what you just posted. In face, there have been plenty that have gone OVER the character limit...hmm yes longer.

If we don't have it, let's filter out the underprivilidged who could be deemed mature enough, why not? Or we could just deduct post counts. This is getting out of hand...in all seriousness, I don't think we "need" one to make it work, it'll probably work right now.
Ugh, this is such a repulsive move. I can't believe you are advocating such a segregating move in order to actuate your own utilitarian views to be someday implemented of what the forums should be. As if you think this is some sort of deontological move you hvae to make...hey, deduct 100 posts off my next post. I really don't care. In other words, i don't see why you should be discouraged by my next reply. There are other real replies in this thread. It's not to up my post count, cause i dont' care.

lets think about this for a second. Clearly? It is not so clear to me- nor to Roetgen, who did not seem to be offended as she was not looking for lengthy replies. I posted that one word because it summed up properly all the feelings I had in mind after reading her composition. Who are you, of all people, to simply excuse that one word as a flippant, trite, or useless reply. Who are you to assume the meaning of a post. Quality is not measured in length, but in the meaning and the thoughts that go behind it. I feel doubly offended now, that in labeling my reply as useless, you have discarded the feelings I had as unacceptable and as garbage. As while a picture is worth thousand words, so can a word.

i realize that i misread the first post in some aspects and i was rather insulted by what you wrote so i started extrapolating on bad cases that could happen because of it. I am sorry for that, and i realize that a lot of the scenarios i outlined are worse case ones, but that doesn't mean they are simply without warrant, though i know the probablility of such is very low. I'm fine with that. Yes, i misunderstood what you meant as trash posts, and hence a lot of what i said in the previous post was based on wrong ideas.

youre putting this to an extreme. how am i, in any way, trying to create an 'intellectual apartheid' as you so keenly chose to call it? by requiring thoughtful replies to quality posts? i admit that my original definition of a 'quality post' was somewhat unfounded, and maybe even my approach to preserve quality posts may not have been the best, as tm11 pointed out, but for you to go as far as to say that im trying to create some sort of an elitism is rediculous. from where, may i ask, did you come up with this brilliant conclusion?

once again, it wont affect any other threads but ones that are started with quality posts. the rest of the forums will still continually run like before and be unaffected by the new policy.
