Thanks BlueRoamer & AG! I rarely post wild like that. Unlike some. I was just having fun. I was not going to do it all the time. *sigh* No pleasing everyone.

This just came to mind; maybe you two could start one thread and put the subject matter you want to post in it. Solane could start a quote thread and post the new ones in it every day instead of starting a new thread for each quote. People who like reading them would know where to look. And fayte you could make a "Take Fun Quizzes Here" thread or something. I dunno. It doesnt really bother me. Just a suggestion from a Virgo Moon. Tryin' to keep it nice and neat and organized. lol IP: Logged |

26T ~I used to read Solane's "Coast to Coast Radio" thread..... That's a good idea. Same thing I do with my "Starcast" threads over in Astro..... But I can see the value in having thread-names on the specific topic, too IP: Logged |

Fayete, I have enjoyed all of your qizzes and took quite a few of them, you can post as many as you like, no one owns this board, if they have something more interesting they can post that too, its enough room I think for it all. If Randall is not complaining then no one else has anything say so about how many times you can post. ***rolls eyes*** IP: Logged |

26taurus Zala EXCELLENT ADVICE! I don't know if I shall bother though. Someone will just find fault anyhow. Anyhow blog test threads get all dispersed in time anyhow and do not remain sequential as with any thread, so I do not see why some got do cranked off about it.Mama Mia Thank you! I enjoy them too and wanted to share! They are light and fun! And yeah... I am not preventing anyone else from posting nor breaking any rules by sharing.

Hee hee me too! It was totally punny! I love punnies!PUN Noun 1. punpun - a humorous play on words; "I do it for the pun of it"; "his constant punning irritated her" paronomasia, punning, wordplay fun, sport, play - verbal wit or mockery (often at another's expense but not to be taken seriously); "he became a figure of fun"; "he said it in sport" Verb 1. pun - make a play on words; "Japanese like to pun--their language is well suited to punning" jest, joke - tell a joke; speak humorously; "He often jokes even when he appears serious" And... Nephthys... To my surprise you assumed the worse of me. quote: I also think it's not very nice to point out when someone misspells a word here at LL and re-spell it out in bold to embaress them; it is easy to make a mistake when typing fast.......I think you knew that Mannu meant "loser" at my "This or That" thread, as well as pointing out "broad" for "board" here.
As I said, I did not know. I do like word play, puns and so forth. I find humor in it. From Bushisms to Freudian slips, to silly punnies and so forth. We all do it. Tongue twisters are fun too. I thought Mannu's use of Winner/Looser/Loser was clever whether he meant it that way or not. Like is it better to be a Winner or a loose person? Or a Loose person or a loser. I liked it! As far as Solane's faux pas, it struck me punnie! It was not my intention to embarrass, in fact I thank her for a good laugh! I screwed up at UC on a word in a thread title! It was funny then too! No insult intended!IP: Logged |

Exactly, 26 Taurus and that is why so many people do object to someone posting so many threads at one time. It pushes other threads off the page and into the archives. It clutters up the board and makes it harder for people to find a thread that was just posted a day before that they wanted to reply on. It should not make any difference who does it. It should not make any difference if it is a fun thread or what the content of the threads are. When it comes to spamming the boards it is quanity of posts all at once that we are discussing. We are not addressing the quality of the content of the threads. Spamming is normally discouraged on the boards because it is inconsiderate of other posters. How many threads of other members of LL were pushed off the page due to Fayte putting in 28 blog quizzes at one time? That should be what the mods address. It is the sheer number of threads at one time that should be the concern of the mods. Not the content to the threads. Some of the same people on this thread saying it is okay for Fayte to spam the boards with 28 quizzes at one time have gotten onto others for spamming the boards with less than 28 threads at one time. Mystic Gemini ( or one of her other many screen names )comes to mind as a good example. It's not okay for Fayte to spam the boards and clutter them up with 28 blog quizzes at one time and it is not okay for anyone else to do it either. That is being fair. It is not fair to call others on it and say just because a friend does it, it is okay. 28 threads all at once in minutes apart from each other by one member is excessive. No matter what their content. No matter who it is. Who is going to deny that? It is also inconsiderate of other posters because it does amount to hogging the boards. Many of you on this thread saying it is okay for Fayte to spam the boards have told MG that she was "hogging" and "spamming" the boards and complained about it. Where is the fairness in that? All memembers of LL should be treated equally by the mods and by other members. It is not okay for a friend to do something that you would not allow from someone who is not a friend. If it is okay for Fayte to spam the boards and clutter them up with 28 threads at time then it should be okay for everyone else to do that without being called for it by any of us. Is that really what you all want to come to LL everyday to see? The boards cluttered with as many as 28 threads by one poster? Because if we say it is okay in this case we have to say it is okay in all cases and we have to live with the clutter. Star has never posted 28 threads minutes apart or even in one day. She may post 3 or 4 some days but never as excessive as 28 at a time. She also at times posts some of those same articles at UC due their inspirational content. Nothing wrong with that. We all do that at times if we think it applies at other boards as well. So it is hardly fair to compare Star with Fayte's 28 blog quizzes. As one of the moderators here at FFA I am supporting Nephthys in what she said. It is very excessive to post 28 threads of any kind at a time. It does clutter the board. It even clutters the archives. It is inconsiderate of other posters and it is for those reasons that moderators normally discourage spamming. Zala feels it is okay for Fayte to throw in 28 threads at a time on the boards of FFA. I agree with my fellow mod, Nephthys that is it not okay for Fayte or anyone else to do that at FFA. So we will have to let YFIS make the final call on whether it is okay or not. There are 3 mods here at FFA and in this matter I feel it should be done by consensus of mod opinion because we are all going to have to live with the decision. If it is okay in this case then that will have to remain our policy here at FFA for all members. We will have to allow spamming at FFA no matter who does it. I feel that is only fair.

This is so petty..I would not care if a person post 2000 post if they want, if I find it interesting I read it if not I go on. Post are unlimited as far as I know there is nothing said that each person is allowed 5 post a day or month. BUT this is what happens when a bunch of women get together things get catty and petty, not one man complaining..uggghhh I am done with this..Faye honey thanks for the entertainment, I hardly post over here nothing interesting to me, but like I said those quizzes were interesting.. Gotta get moderators involved and stuff geez..Give me a break.. IP: Logged |

You just can't help yourself can you fayte? If you're not happy then nobody else can be either. This is so childish, hi-jacking the boards like you did I thought about responding to (some) of your posts (before there were so many) but by the time I read your answers and knowing you like I do from the boards It had become ridiculousIf you're a 100% honest (like your test score) then I'm the tooth fairy.

Mirandee do you have any concept of how skewed and off base your statistics are? Why are you and 2 others blowing this out of proportion as if it is some horrible crime?Yes I posted many in one day, but NOT the numbers you have quoted. I post far far far less than Solane. And I suspect less than perhaps you here at FFA. So I got excited over quizzes. Big deal! Even my being happy upsets you. I have done nothing wrong. What if I'd bumped all the blog tests posted by other people? I do not see anyone complaining about that.

So now we have to pick sides?I totally agree that it was excessive. I agree that I don't like people posting that many new threads at once. I also think that other people should be given the chance to discover tests over there, and post them themselves instead of all the tests being posted by a single person. Where I see the dissimilarity is in the content. Mystic Gemini spamming a board with articles having to do with inhumanity, and how much she hates humans and loves animals is pretty annoying. Stupid little Blogthings tests are fun for a bit generally. FFA is supposed to be the little pop culture place at LindaLand, the VH-1 of Lindaland, so I'm not quite as annoyed as I am when I find more unsuitable (or in my mind more boring) topics.

I`m with Mirandee and Nephthys on this issue. as stated : 28 threads all at once in minutes apart from each other by one member is excessive. No matter what their content. No matter who it is. Spamming is normally discouraged on the boards because it is inconsiderate of other posters. All memembers of LL should be treated equally by the mods and by other members. A single thread for blog quiz`s would keep the forum neat and tidy. An added bonus is one wouldn`t have to hunt & peck for one they wished to take (with search function inactive) ------------------ ~ What we do for ourselves dies with us.

Grow up LaLa. I have no idea wtf your problem is. But you just keep coming at me. quote: I thought about responding to (some) of your posts (before there were so many) but by the time I read your answers and knowing you like I do from the boards It had become rediculous

Well deary you must be the toothfairy then! And on that note knowing certain one(s) as I do, I know they are certainly not telling the truth in their quizzes and it is too damn funny! Again why are 3 going at me tooth and nail like I am a freaking criminal for posting quizzes? edit to add. Sadly I see 2 more have joined your lynch mob. Have fun "ladies" I do not plan on posting any more quizzes until I clear it with Randall first.

I personally did not mind the test thingys- I found them fun and light-hearted and at times there doesn't seem to be that much action around here anyway. It's also interesting to see how each person got different results and is a light-hearted way to get to know people slightly better in ways you wouldn't pick up on otherwise.If fayte posted this many of them all the time then I guess that would be OTT, however, I think she's just in the mood for them right now; why deny someone such a simple indulgence?

Well I took your advice, which was " Chill out girl " which came from you this morning on the issues of excessive threads and I took your advice and " Chilled Out Girl "!!!Remember I already replied to your post with " I think you should take your own advice " Chill out girl " and I come back tonite after Chilling all day and see you don't even take your own advice, yours-Elf, but think it's all O.K to give it out, but don't even know how to practice what you so preach to other's to do or follow!!! Now thats funny to me. LOL!!! One has to be a good follower also before, one can be a good leader. Don't try to assign me anything you can't do better yours-ELF Girl!!!
I chilled just long enough I guess, to come back and see your work and **** at play again!!!! LaLa thats so funny how you say what you said there about Fayte's excessive thread posting, because I did also have exact feelings about it!!! Weird!!! quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I thought about responding to (some) of your posts (before there were so many) but by the time I read your answers and knowing you like I do from the boards It had become rediculous -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LaLa the part of your quote where you addressed Fayte on this:
but by the time I read your answers and knowing you like I do from the boards It had become rediculous Well look at this reply of her's, does this not answer any questions of why she really posted 28??? She said, she did it just to chill and have some fun???? Now the truth revels its-Elf, by her own words her: Fayte Quote: -------------------------------------------- Well deary you must be the toothfairy then! And on that note knowing certain one(s) as I do, I know they are certainly not telling the truth in their quizzes and it is too damn funny! -------------------------------------------- With that above Quote there LaLa, it's really starting to look like more **** and head games on Fayte's part again. One trying to find out who the lair's are around here!!! Thats the real reason she Hi-Jacked the " BROAD "!!! LOL!!! Now thats funny Fayte!!! Thought so!!!

LTT Yes I posted alot today. But not all were posted today! I was having fun and sharing and I love getting to know everyone! I posted so many today to help chill out after I was assaulted on the "How well do you Know Men" quiz thread just for voicing my dislike of stereotyping people. It escalated into ugliness. I would not have posted so many in an effort to lighten my mood and the mood of others if I had known the ones already having a bug up their nose at me would continue to have go at me. I was simply trying to lighten things up! IP: Logged |

And if anyone bothers to look they can see that I have started very few threads prior to January 13th.Others like Solane judge are much more prolific but that is ok by me. Just because I posted alot in 3 days I am a horrible person it seems. Well forgive me for sharing! And like I said...if the crap on the one quiz thread had not happened because I disapproved of stereotyping, and was told by Mirandee in thinly veiled terms to Go f-ck myself for using a thumbsdown icon when I disapproved of stereotyping remarks. I would not have posted so many tests today in it seems a futile effort to lighten things back up and share.

The point here is why does it always come down to a attack on Fayte and she gets to always play the victim here whenever something is said to her????Then she goes and makes it out like we're all picking on her and what she always does is made it a matter of wrong or right and good or bad point. Victim Role Games again Fayte!!!! Its not a matter of wrong or right Fayte. It's like no one can say anything to you and point it out because it always leads to this SH!T!!! IP: Logged |
