Sociopath Community

So, just to clear this up for everyone, is this guy Dex? Does anyone know? Cause I feel like that'll effect people's opinions on this topic.

It's always a trade-off sometimes limits to free speech need to be implemented. But I don't see it as a all or nothing type situation, they are not STOPPED from posting what they want, keeping it in one thread would be a bit smarter or something like that.

Repeatedly making threads that do nothing but de-bump potential quality threads does have a negative affect.

Yes please. Anything that does not open up to discussion and is repeatedly posted without a justification (for example wreck), should be spam. Low quality is one thing, repeated low quality without the intention of contributing in any way is spam.

Is it not? I thought spam was closer to if there was no real message attached, like Copy/Paste crap or repeatedly self-quoting. Draw the line too closely and the place will begin inhibiting free speech.

I figure I'm at least going to rid of the quote post spam, but otherwise this topic's good for seeing how the forum feels.

"Repeatedly making threads that do nothing but de-bump potential quality threads does have a negative affect."
From how I saw it anyway, the place isn't really about keeping above a standard of quality, more so about avoiding non-communicating repetition.

Oh. Well I'm still undecided. We know he can be a fucking pain in the ass, but he has his uses. Eg. Pissing off spammers.

The fucking ban/mute system was invented for dex, Turncoat. Banning Dex is why TK was named as first mod in Sociopath World history. Why do you people keep giving him chances after chances? We know he's annoying, we know he spams, we know his autism can never be cured. He changes his username and each time he gets treated like he's a different person. Threads like "Don't be a vagina clown by crazyfartingclowns" are no better than spam.

I've witnessed dex spamming the chat the other day. I see dex shit all over the forum. Muting dex on the forum is the next best thing after ripping his throat off.

Being a pain in the ass isn't against any rules, which is why I'm currently leaning towards keeping him while watching if the non-communicating repetition patterns continue.

"The fucking ban/mute system was invented for dex, Turncoat."
Back when he was spamming the place way more obviously, yeah. At the moment it's more for the accounts making a more literal mess out of the place.

"Banning Dex is why TK was named as first mod in Sociopath World history."
Banning Dex because of what he was doing is why she was given mod powers, not just for being Dex.

"We know he's annoying, we know he spams, we know his autism can never be cured."
The underlined portion is the only part that's really against any rules, and if he's spamming he's being a lot more controlled about it or something (or he's behind the other accounts).

"He changes his username and each time he gets treated like he's a different person."
And then if banned he'd just make more and more accounts. Why go after him when he's not even misbehaving?

"Threads like "Don't be a vagina clown by crazyfartingclowns" are no better than spam."
And this is along the lines of why I bothered making the topic, attempting to identify the difference between spam and free speech. Spamming the letter F, a video link, banana stuff, random code, that doesn't make for any discussion, while saying stuff people don't agree with is another story.

"I've witnessed dex spamming the chat the other day."
Screencap it next time, he hasn't been doing much from what I've seen.

"I see dex shit all over the forum."
If you're meaning the long trains of blatant spam, we don't know that that's him. If you're meaning the "God will save you" stuff, is that really spam?

"Muting dex on the forum is the next best thing after ripping his throat off."
Then another account is made and we're back at square one.

So, is this "spam" deletion bit about quality control or stopping literal repetition? That's up to the majority, not me, and if there is a line drawn for quality where is said line?
