RE: n00berz

ALZABO, man, o man, you're dealing with this the wrong way.
Observe:
"Ganymede sucks"
"Ganymede blows"
"Ganymede is an idiot"
"Ganymede is a dumbass"

Anyone else wanna chime in here?

Sure, Ganymede has started more worthless topics than anyone in recent memory. Ganymede is an imbecile, evidently.

People like you crack me up, you think because you have spent the last year and a half stuck behind your computer racking up 15,000 + posts that makes you better than the rest of us.....well dipshit, wrong fucking answer. So pull you fucking head out of your ass and get with the real world, THERE ARE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE BESIDES A FUCKING MESSAGE BOARD!!!!!! So let me give you a little advice, go out and experiance the world, hell get laid that might help a little bit.

Breaking out the heavy artillery, I see. I'll raise you a "you have a small penis."

You can haze th n00b's all you want, and try and scare them off, but I don't let a bunch of postering, grunting, and groaning scare me. So, go ahead, indulge. Lemme help:

"Ganymede is gay"
"Ganymede is a fag"
"Ganymede is a gay fag"
"Ganymede is a faggot who is gay"

That would pretty much cover everyone's best comebacks...
that's what happens when a forum is invaded by the inferior class without the necessary vocabulary aboundance and imagination to make proper insults.

I just now realized that since I got back on UM a month or so ago, there has seemed to be 5 new members a day. In every long thread I'm seeing 3 or 4 posts in a row from members registered in October or November.

So how many of you monkeys are there?

And why are you here?

And why do you all seem so stupid?

:hypno:

I've been noticing, examing and addressing this issue since May. It peaked in July, though I believe this November peak may have surpassed the July pinnacle.
 
Let's remember that a lot of the issue is jerk wad existing members who have nothing better to do with their time than make fake accounts and shit up the board. Not saying all of them but quite a few.

yeah but that really isnt a lot of the issue at all because most people only do it in response to the shitting up of the forum by idiots who have nothing better to do than post the 100th "post your top 10 bands!!!" redux

Dodens is right. :loco:
 
A lot of it probably has to do with, I just noticed UM.com is #1 on google now for "metal forum" - why don't you guys start coming up with a suggestion list here and let's make a new "before you post" policy for GMD. Let's hear it.
 
I get the feeling that a lot of the "older" posters enjoy this new wave of members. It gives them someone to make fun of and keeps conversations active here.

* Search before you post a new thread.

* If it's not metal, it goes in the non-metal forum.

* Except if it's music that is close ties to metal and/or has a lot of fans among metal fans (some heavy rock, some *core, dark ambient, neo-folk, classical, especially threads such as "recommend dark classical pieces that a metal fan would like", although this thread has already been done, so search before you post a new thread.)

* Do not whine when your thread about The Darkness gets closed.

* Do not whine when your thread gets closed.

* Self promotion goes in the self promotion forum. If you self promote in GMD and are a newly registered user with low posts, you get banned no questions asked.

* It's still self promotion even if you claim it's your friend's band.

* Search before you post a new thread.

* Generic stuff like "hey guys check out this cool band i found" and "hey guys lately i've been listening to judas priest lately do you like them" and "recommend me bands similar to X" goes in The Thread Where You Talk About Music You Like. This rule will be enforced. Repeat offenses = ban.

* Top 10 lists of everything has been done. Make your own band has been done. Best singer/drummer/guitarist/bassist has been done. To death. Close or merge with old threads of the same nature. Repeat offenses, banned.

* Search before you post a new thread.
 
I'd like to add another rule to Erik's rather comprehensive list:

Observe the forum for a few days or a week before you join. Make sure you think you have something to contribute to the forum rather than inane comments/posts
 
Pure awesome. Maybe even better than the old one GoD made, and better-oriented towards new posters. I vote for Erik's "Before You Post."

Edit: And add unknown's suggestion to it also.
 
*Make sure that the bands you want to talk about on Ultimate METAL Forum actually ARE metal, not *core.

I'm fully supporting your right to enjoy the music you like... just don't talk about it on a forum where it doesn't belong, UM.
