Spurstalk Forum Etiquette

[SequSpur]

How in the hell can anyone keep up with reading shit if you start a new topic for every got damn thought?

In 10 minutes, the whole front page and second page is full of random thoughts based on the same got damn game.

Can't you keep your thoughts into a few places? Where is the Eva is not wearing a Go Spurs Go shirt topic? What the hell?

You come in here trying to read shit and some of the good shit is lost in the random bullshit...

Go Spurs.

Watch the game, instead of bowling and you would be able to keep up.

[Avitus1]

I'm making a thread about good food to eat while reading post game threads :-D

[Despot]

we have two days to sort it out

[exstatic]

==D ~~~

[Solid D]

I think we should consolidate all Etiquette threads.

[mrsmaalox]

How about just not reading it if it chaps you so bad?

[MannyIsGod]

Sequ has a point. With the influx of more and more posters the pages are increasingly covered with piss poor threads where the OP has 2 or 3 lines of a topic that is probably being covered elsewhere.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Yes, he does have a good point. I'm actually thrilled with it because if he chooses to lead by example in the future, we will see far fewer threads started by him with only a :blah or a :sequ in the first post.

Exactly... some of you are a little to "New Thread" happy because the Spurs are in the Finals.

BTW, did y'all see Manu dribble between Boobie's legs tonight after Timmy poked the ball away from Varejao?

This could actually turn out to be the Quattro thread of the SpursTalk board.

[MannyIsGod]

This could actually turn out to be the Quattro thread of the SpursTalk board.Manu had several moments tonight where his ball control was insane. He put the ball in weird place swhile dribbling and was in complete control. That play in particular was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

[Bill O'Reilly]

Just remember




Keep it pithy, and no bloviating

[SequSpur]

It's simple:

-Game Blog
-Duncan
-Manu vs. Parker
-Lebron
-Bowen is Dirty
-Walton Buys off me Rant
-Latest Kobe news
-AHFs Latest Ripleys Topic
-GTG Topic
-Beno's Handbag


How many other fucking topics do we need? Everything should fit right here....

WTF? :wtf

[timvp]

This might have been Sequ best post of all-time. Nothing is more annoying than posters who start threads just for the sake of starting a thread.

[Mr. Body]

Etiquette?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Yeah put me down for stream of consciouness threads are lame.

[Solid D]

I think Sequ's new-found decorum and propriety might just carry over to other things. :sequ

Tickets?

[ALVAREZ6]

It has gotten out of hand. I hit the refresh button and the top threads on the front page change all the time. For every moronic thought, we have more than 2 threads, instead of not having a single one at all.


You can't even remember which threads are supposed to be good or which ones are the ones that you previously posted in and are waiting for responses because they get butt fucked to the back of the constantly changing pile or retarded threads.

[spurscenter]

what do u want?

to get people to stop posting and move over to spursreport?

[Kori Ellis]

We don't care if people move over to SpursReport.

But anyway ... the only time I have a probably with people starting too many threads is 1) if they are duplicates, 2) if they are spam or trash, or 3) if it's during/right after a game and the threads should go in the game blog - that's what sequ made this thread about.

Here's more info on using the Game Blog (http://spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=70476) properly.

As for the multitude of threads right now today - there's a lot of them, but they are mostly legit threads. If they aren't, they are being merged.

So don't fret.

[ashbeeigh]

The fact that Seque started this thread, whether it had a point or not just makes me laugh. Thank you.

[spurster]

I'd like to add one more guideline.

Please, PLEASE make a title that describes the topic of the thread. Two losers of this category currently are "just curious" and "Where?".

That's something that kills me. If you want someone to open the thread, please title it correctly.

And, for the love of all, please use capitalization and punctuation in your posts. :)

you know what, this thread is kinda lame. tthe complaint is that too many people are creating threads and someone has to go through the arduous work of using a scroll bar or button to reach another page. big whoop.

People learn how to capitalize in grade school. It's important to establish this as a normal practice when expressing yourself in written form. If you are a kid texting people, sometimes exclusively lower-case word strings are fine. When you become an adult, proper punctuation, capitalization and spelling reflects well on you as an educated, mature person.

No the complaint of this thread originally was about using the Game Blog for its intended purpose - which is one of the rare guidelines on this forum. So use it.

we can go through this again i suppose. all the grammar stuff is fine in a context, one of much greater importance and formality than a message board. in the adult world, people don't go around saying lmao or lol, either, but you don't see anyone here complaining. it's also important not to write in the passive voice, which you accomplish in your first and second sentences. not giving someone grief over a message board post, particularly in such a snoody tone, also shows maturity, et. al.

actually, the thread creator comes up with like 10 topics outside of the game blog that he thinks everything should fit into. the problem is those threads can go 25-80 pages and you may miss someone else's posting the same thing as someone else. i know i missed the game blog purposes guidelines but to the idea that the thread originated with that idea isn't true. i'd thought you guys did a pretty good job of consolidating threads you thought were redundant and locking out or moving things that you thought didn't belong. this thread is overkill.

[smrattler]

Wow, this thread took a slot on the front page, contributing to the very problem being complained about.

lol and lmao don't make the posts less readable. Lack of capitalization and punctuation do.

I'd appreciate it if you'd make an attempt to capitalize the first word of your sentences and proper nouns. I don't care about typo's, grammar and spelling. But attempt to make your posts easily readable.

When we are at games, we aren't online to lock or merge things. Thus the need for everyone to post in the game blog, instead of starting threads like, "did you see that?", "Duncan with block", etc.

that's just really strange. i just find it odd that you don't care about typos, grammar and spelling, all the things that would make a post difficult to understand, but when the letters are all of the same size it becomes such a huge distration. i mean, if you'd written
I'd apres8 it if you'd make an atempt to capitalise the furst wurd of ya senttennces and proper nouns. I don't care about ttyps, gramer and spellin. But attempt to make yo posts esely readable.
that would seem to be a much bigger problem than lower-case letters.

truth be told, i'm likely not going to. unless i'm at work, i don'tt capitalize my writing much, though i do take care of the grammar, spelling stuff.

i give you that, but sequ's (sp?) post seemed more pointed in a general sense, as in just today or the day before the game or anytime. if there's a game blog, by all means have at putting the game-related stuff there, but he didn't seem to have such a narrow target.

Umm... Sequ made this thread right after Game 1, specifically about all the threads that were started during and right after the game that should have gone in the game blog. That's basically what this thread is about. If you didn't get that, because you didn't see the thread until today, then whatever. But that's what this thread is about.

[td4mvp3]

I declare bs.
your first two posts was not about keeping things in the game blog. hell, no where in the first do you mention a game blog and in the second you list it as one of about 10 choices. no bs there.

Actually studies have shown that people can quickly and easily read things with misspelled words- with letters intentionally out of order within the word- because our brains know what the word is anyway. It is much more difficult to read without the proper breaks in the sentences perceived by the capitalization and punctuation.
