AXE the War Room

[TonK]

[EDITOR'S NOTE: For this first few years, we kept hearing this suggestion. Often times the people who didn't like it soon learned to love it. While calling it "venerable" would miss the spirit of the forum, the War Room is a fixture of the site that won't be going anywhere anytime soon.]

Same fucking people all day...SPAM SPAM SPAM...with LWK gone it might be a good thing...no more B.S.

[aria]

Destroy such an institution? I don't think it will happen. It's been brought up before several times. I think there are some people who just need for there to be a War Room. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

[Caris Nautilus]

He can currently be found posting as "Dark Lord Dragon" and god knows how many other fake names. Just look for really dumb stuff in the war room, with replies just minutes apart, and it's probobly by him.

Caris.
No offence matey, but you think everyone is Krauser!
Besides, LWK is "Death" today isnt he? Or was that yesterday, is he "God" today?

[mookystains]

i think DLD is LWK. I REALLY HATE DLD!!!!

...ok im not mad...im not mad...im not mad...

If the SNK War Room is axed then the spam, flames, and garbage will flood over into the other forums. The War Room serves as a dam. To remove this dam would be detrimental to the quality of the other forums.

Well then why dont you tell in detail your ideal war room. What your want them to say and how its supposed to work according to you ok. Granted some folks in there are on the spam side i can agree with that.

HAHAHA, Man your one to talk, you are the biggest spammer here with your constant whining and mind changing.
Search for the name TonK, good luyck finding good stuff.
You only want the warroom axed so you can be happy.
And no people I am not DLD.
When I register bogus shit its a little different then that, for example a name such as "Death"
Man MS was right, NOBODY in this site has the slightest sense of humor.
How's the metal slug auction TonK?
Those CDR's for sale?
Can I make a bid on the cabinet that will be for sale in two weeks tops?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[BioMotor_Unitron]

Other Forums manage without War Rooms. They just delete the lamers. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Oh please, remember when you were crying like a baby when GunSmith said he was going to make you play Street Fighter III until you died? Every Thread where GS was mentioned after that, you posted crap like, "At least he did not threaten to kill you like he did me."

What happened to being PROUD of your spam, LWK? You change your mind far more than Tonk, but then immediately change it back as soon as you get what you want.

[LWK]

Yeah that SF3 playing was the pits.... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">
Nah lately, just not myself.

What, "axe" The War Room?! <IMG SRC="smilies/eek.gif" border="0"> Such a rash move would toss me into the ranks of the "Neo-Unemployed", and then I'd have to be put on "Neo-Welfare"! <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

All joking aside, I do believe that, contrary to my earlier opinions on such an "institution" as Bobak phrased it, the War Room does serve a purpose on this message board in that it's a modestly effective "idiocy/lameness sink" (think of a PC CPU "heat sink" in order to get the analogy). The War Room may promote a certain degree of bullshit posts, but I'd say that what crap it does manage to contain and/or sink away from the rest of the forums makes it a worthwhile and functional component of this community.

[Devil_Gans]

there is no need to axe the war room.a better way is to delete posts of people who keep talking shit things that make no sense! or if he insults someone strongly non-stop.the war room is also a funny place.juz go there and see it for yerselves!!

[Caris Nautilus]

If you killed the war room then Krauser would have no where to post, and would probly leave. Since any dumb shit he posted in the other forums would just get deleted.

War room is like a breeding ground for idiots, it's like a stagnent bucket of water in your back yard, your just gonna get mosquitos and pests. The war room or flame room is an infinitly bad idea as it is. It breeds hate, fights ect. ect.

Why try to support that at all? Most BBS's don't have a war room/flame room. Most don't have a Neo Nazi forum either.

[Shuuchan]

Hi Shawn <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Yes axing the war room IS a good idea for your site shawn.

Its no use letting spam and flames build up(Its not like the flames are anyhting more than spam from what I just saw a couple secs ago) By allowing them in one forum I belive it will attract memebers who will not be constructive for the other forums.

Im not talking a huge nazi moderation but simply when something erupts into name calling delete it. If its a heated debate with some possible constructive purpose leave it in its respective forum.
Example:"Your a communist!""No Im not I just belive.." That kinda stuff you can leave as it has an actual point
Example 2"Your a cocksucker!" Should be deleted being nothing more than an insult.

I dont mean too tell you how too run your iste Shawn but if you ditched the war room what would you lose? Spammer? Not too much of a loss IMO.

[TonK]

He would lose Krauser and his followers...which is a good thing.

[Caris Nautilus]

The old excuse that you need the war room to stop it from overflowing into other forums is over.

UBB 6 has the private message option, and any flame wars can be handeled privatly that way. However you'd be surprised how fast flame wars die, when they aren't out in the open with spectators <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

[TonK]

Axe the motherfucking cess pool. Its LWK's breeding ground. Its the same fucks over and over again. "People need a place to vent." - My ass, delete the fucking posts or get more mods.

[Caris Nautilus]

If you keep the war room, change the name to "LWK and friends Club House" lol.

Admission stipulation is that you be a complete dumbass.

So, who do regard as LWKs followers?

I agree fully with this. A conflict or difference of opinion of any sort between memebers ought to be settled privately between them. Should they not be willing to get so "serious" about it, then what on earth makes the details worth posting on a message board? For such cases where e-mail resolutions fail, we do have an un-related topics forum which appropriates such content. After all, given the UBB format, the forums here could not easily get dominated by flame wars, compared to Yahoo! pathetic club format, for instance. As a rule I refrain from entering the War Room, though from 2 or 3 visits it's plainly obvious a)what it breeds, which has been mentioned and b)how useless the whole concept really is. Yelling at people by typing at them... I tried it once, a tad intensely, just to see what it was like; an experience which only re-inforced my current beliefs.

Honestly man, has this suggestion gone through, it will never go through.
Its part of the site.
Although it is indeed useless, as even I do not posat in therre much, hell when I do make a topic it gets spammed to the bottom instantly.

[TonK]

Shawn, its entirely up to you. The War Room sucks...

IMO it should be axed. Keep the "I'm a dead sexy bitch" topics for some other forum. When I first came here as TonK and boasted about NGF all of my topics were dealt with by members in the War Room....

You really want to keep the War Room? Clean the motherfucker out and disable the New Post...then all flammable topics could be moved there and dealt with off topic. Otherwise its your server space that is being wasted.

axeing the war room is like, well... watching T.V. with the cable service provider being down for an entire day. i vote we leave this war room alone.

Now this I agree with even more. Why? As I recall, the purpose of the War Room, here or anywhere else, was to be a place where threads that got out of hand could be dealt with in the most vulgar of manners by whomsoever wished to take part, without infecting any "clean" areas of the BBS with its content. I haven't forgotten why un-registered posting was even allowed in the first place, I don't fully agree with it either, but that's beside the point. So, if it's to stay, which I'm sure will be the case regardless, how about removing the new post feature?

[Caris Nautilus]

That sounds like a good idea. But then it would provoke people to make flame posts in other forums, since then they know they would get moved to the war room, where they could spam to their wishes.

Axeing it is the smart decision. But hey if you wanna breed fights and hate at your BBS, go for it.

Geez regardless of my current fighting with Caris, freezing the warroom could do this site good.
In all seriousness I cannot think of one good thing the warroom has brought to this site.
Its only brought.
-Hatred
-Racism, which I was exposed to in the past by a certain unregistered name "Nazi Fucker"
refer to the post about canadians.
-Killed space
-Spam grounds to the max, lets face it the warroom used to be fun in the past as it was not taken seriously to my belief. It also had more meaning in the past, but now is just fights people are starting with no real basis or origin for the hate they brought on others. IE wolferaizer posts etc.
It has now become a threatining zone, and a space waster, freezing it might bring us together as a community once again.
It is used for the following now.

1) Post count riders.
2) DLD thousands of topics, which my Private message part of my profile is 10 plus topics by him alone, and the fact I get called for being him, which anyone with half a brain can tell is not me.
3) No limit to the number of topics being put forward.

Shawn a minor suggestion is for you to make a designated number of topics members can make hourly.
For example one topic per hour.

The warroom is a spam fest and even though it had some good times should not be cut, but frozen and left for viewing.
First, its not taking hatred and secluding it to the warroom, 90% of the fights that ensue are in topics not in the warroom, that pertain to the original meaning.
Fights cannot be stereotyped to one forum they occur everywhere. This is uncontrollable IMO.
And NGF talk has completely ceased which is great! WE NO LONGER NEED IT! They get basically no publicity from us, as we got so sick of speaking about there shotty corruption.
The warroom is useless now.
Do not cut, freeze it and let it stay as and example of the hatred this site has generated.
(Not meant in and insulting fashion, just food for thought.)

Why even call it the SNK WARROOM? It has almost nothing to do with SNK in the first place, I am going to contradict my statement of it going nowhere, because lets face it, its a pile of shit.

I am not gone, just do not post as much, lately I have been back a tad more.

[Xander Crews]

The warroom's turned to shit,when i first came to the forums the warroom was full of crap and it was funny,at the time,now its fairly tiring to look at, maybe its just me but of late the warrooms gone from a bit ridiculous to downright stupid,go look at the posts in there now and its just a load of unfunny childish crap,add to that youve got people clocking up 800 posts just for doing this: <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">
or <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">
every 5 seconds,some are just stupid one lines or words, like they think they are talking on the phone i.e:
we shall call the fictional characters mr a mr b and mr c

mr a:
hello you have no nob

mr b:
your a smelly poo

mr c: i aggree with b

mr a: c smells as well

just an example but a true account nethertheless of what you will see lately,if it carries on like that then it is fairly pointless.

[Dark Lord Dragon]

That's just because you guys doesn't post there... Come back guys, and let's have some real fun

[Wolferaizer]

just close it, no more headache <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

What are you talking about ?

[RevQuixo]

Is there a way to make war room posts not count toward post count totals? That'd probably axe the whole reason people do pointless threads (as illustrated by snknutball in an earlier post)

If people are so lame, they feel better by having higher post counts then thats sad.

I say scrap the post count.
So everyone always reads nada. This BBS was for mature users to chat about the neo.

[Geddon_jt]

I agree 100% with Nick_th_fury.

[TonK]

So, what are we gonna do? I say DELETE the post count, nobody will need to spam. Delete the War Room...its just a cess pool.

[LWK]

Another thing you may want to consider, the warroom lays waste to the over all impression of the site, whether or not it gets things solved.
You seriously have to wonder when the most popular part of your board becomes the war section of the site, iit defiately brings hatred on members and alot of inccorect accusations are made on behalf of members that the insulter does not even know.
IMO.
Maybe you should change the name to something that works with its use like
"Hate grounds"
Ity makes the neo in general LOOK TO CONTROVERSIAL, so the best solution is to make a decision based on members opinions.
