dabba Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Damn. can't believe I've been visiting GI for the past few months just to check the football, movie discussion, music and some other threads in the general chatter board. Haven't visited any other section at all! Hopefully I will get my interest back in gaming someday! get a ps3, interest will return automatically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 ^^ Hmm calling you a spammer was probably unfair but you have to understand we get a lot of hit and run posters who only want to sell/buy something and want to reach 50 posts and then do the trade and dissappear. You know that saying about wheat and chaff (gehun ke sath ghunn bhi piss jata hai) unfortunately thats kinda true. As far as locking your thread goes I dunno why it happened. Dont let it discourage you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont let it discourage you though. Tks for the kind words of encouragement ... but honestly if i did want to make the 50 posts I wouldn't need to start any shitty topic... I could simply lurk around for a couple of days in every zone and add my oohs and aaahs to make the 50 nah ? Besides to buy something in the TP i don't need 50 posts...I can view the trades and posts there and pm the seller ...it's only to sell something that i need to reach the "magical" figure....but still is it to be assumed that the general chatter section isn't so general after all..maybe a set of topics should be made available so that it's more clear wot ? Ah well ...I'm going back to KZ2 atleast I can shoot the guys I don't like there ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add nothing beyond a smiley and get banned or get their post count reset by a mod. @John Relax dude. We will find a new newbie to you can pick on. An actual spamer. Shouldnt take long.

bubblehead Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 ^^ i beg to differ. as afty already said, there have been numerous cases of spammers in recent times, and all we were trying to do was make sure there ain't another spammer on the loose. as i had mentioned before also, mannu doesn't look like a spammer. but what he has to understand is that this ain't a household or community welfare forum.( does anyone remember the water purifier thread) yes, u are free to post ur thoughts about anything but try and not make threads which u know won't generate enough traffic. there are topics like this one to post 'em here.

Anyone care to point out??? Perhaps the mods??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arun360 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Who makes small talk with a stranger in the elevator? Why, the journey takes less than a minute. Unless, you wanted to talk some more. But you had to leave. Automatic doors shut you out and left me thinking how things would be different if only I'd said something different.
