Sorry but this lie is invalid. Several polls when people complain about front page spam are between 3-30 days old depending. If I was making 5 polls A day I'm sure the mods would have said something because that would mean 5 threads a day 35 threads a week. That's not happening. And again Polls are part of threads, this while thread here is pointless because you guys are trying and failing to separate the two.
This thread is a small minority, of which some of are just trolls derailing threads before reading them. Almost a thousand votes and 80% of that in posts just the 8 threads mentioned in the earlier post above. No one cares and if you guys have to make something up to pretend to have a point more power to you but it's not going to work.
The dunpachi spam will be removed, and you guys will soon start getting more warning for derailing threads on purpose (as has already been done before numerous times.) if you're not competent enough to skip threads you don't like then there's nothing more to say.
And if you think that supporting a user spamming and trying to get mod confrontation is a solution to a non-existent problem more power too you but that won't go without consequences.
Eh, fair enough I suppose. I understand where you're coming from a lot more now. I'll just stay out of this "fight" after this post, because it honestly isn't a huge deal and I think a bunch of people are making a mountain out of a molehill. So long as your threads remain relevant to the gaming discussion section, as they have been, we're cool.
This post reads like a direct response to my last post, which was to a user with a different name.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by this response. Well whatever, continue to treat gaf as your own social blog. but of all people you should realize plenty of people will continue to either derail your threads or make parodies due to the frequencies of your polls. Which is frequent. I come here daily and it certainly feels like there’s not a day I haven’t seen a new one or two from you.Sorry but this lie is invalid.

The mods only approve of Afro doing that.At this point I'm waiting for afro to start making polls like "who would win in a fight, Darth Vader or Vegeta".
As a bonus, the answers can have a bunch of fluff added in despite that your opinion in the poll may have nothing to do with it, like "Darth Vader! I love lightsabers, Star Wars rules and besides he redeemed himself in the end" or "Vegeta, nobody messes with the Prince and he's way cooler than Goku. I want to bang Bulma."
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by this response. Well whatever, continue to treat gaf as your own social blog..
I commented, this means others could make double-threads of actual news he might theoretically post some time (like his one news thread today that someone had already posted before) so it's no good.No one has commented really on the ignore threads idea. To me this is win win, AR can make all the polls he wants and people who don't want to participate could hide them without being forced to hide his posts everywhere else on the forum, and then they won't have as many threads they don't care about in the thread list. Yes it's not a huge deal and you can scroll past them, but this solution if possible would make everyone happy I think.

Ah I thought you meant preemptive ignoring, my bad (keep it up, page 4 soon)!If a user manually hides a thread, presumably they would know not to start a duplicate.
you are not only annoying but arrogant as well. I hesitated with using the ignore button after finding out about it earlier in this thread, but I am confident now that any thread you create or a part of isn't going to offer any interesting discussion or contribute to gaming dialog.I mean you can keep up this narrative and derail threads that are currently having discussion and earn yourself a suspension or ban if you want, your choice. Me and the majority know your last post is nonsense and don't care. If there's a poll you don't want to participate in it simply don't, if you want to try and create hivemind threads like these there's another site for that. You should be more than capable of deciding whether you want to participate in a thread or not without derailing. Your opinion is invalid mostly because it's based on something that isn't true, and the fact that you don't seem to think simply not participating in threads that interest with you instead of being aggressive is the better solution.
Moving on.
Okay, my bad, 2, 1 of which was a double and you still bumped it in a reply after it was shown instead of just ask a mod to lock it since it was preexisting just like you bump all your threads after a time to lure fake interest to bump your objective stats of how this is what the community needs, as if you can possibily know how many of the hundreds (thousands?) of members are deterred from engaging with GAF at all when every time they visit it no longer resembes the gaming news/discussion haven it was when the front page is just random stuff like that. You do you, lol. How many times have you "moved on", I lost count, just as you can't count if you seriously believe you have hundreds of supporters in this, this thread is already on par with most of yours in popularity (yes, the occasional one might get some more if you keep bumping it randomly, a broken clock is right twice a day etc.) and there are no "hundreds" of replies defending you (if we exclude yours which merely dismiss anyone saying otherwise without any argument).Actually two news threads, but again Alexis is one of those people that kind of jumps in threads to derail without really looking at the thread half the time. Anyway everyone will be moving on now so...

So rather than learn from this. you’re deliberately choosing to ignore the issue that people consider you as a spammer. Ok.I mean you can keep up this narrative and derail threads that are currently having discussion and earn yourself a suspension or ban if you want, your choice.

So rather than learn from this. you’re deliberately choosing to ignore the issue that people consider you as a spammer. Ok.
And my narrative is rather basic. I have no intention of being part of a hive mind but consider this: people are hiveminding in the same way where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Maybe you should think off what’s causing that fire.
AfroDemocrats.I don't understand the hate for AfroRepublican. He does make a lot of polls and even though some of the choices are ridiculous (The platformer poll), it does initiate interesting discussions. Leave the guy be!
No it is definitely not... just because mods are not banning people left, right, and centre does not mean they are not ever watchful .
Yeah you’d be surprised how hard it is to simply skip your threads when at times they took up half the front page.I'm choosing to ignore a small majority, which a lot of that small majority thinks derailing threads discussions is somehow a solution to not liking a thread instead of skipping it. It seems you're basically telling me you're not able to actually do that which is a whole other issue.
What's causing the fire is nothing. There's nothing to learn, again there have been times that I've not made a thread in 2-3 days and threads are on the front page, come back make a new thread people said there's spam, it's all in your head, and the majority don't care. A good chunk of Gaf's active userbase votes in the polls or/and posts in the threads.
heck I got some of you all with threads without polls to see you immediately assume it's a poll because a chunk of you don't even read the thread you only enter to troll. There's nothing to learn from people that think derailing conversations is better than skipping a thread they aren't interested in as said by other users in this very thread.
Oh no, I guess backseat moderating is not part of new gaf rules if you have no fear of constantly doing it and threatening members. How about just using the report function instead of using it as an argument when it doesn't even begin to resemble one. Yeah I'm right and every one who thinks I'm wrong will get moderated so bye suckers!!!!11 You post so much even you forgot how much shit you posted, I just took your word for that "2" thing, okay, it was 3, lol, keep it up and telling others what to do and how to behave and when to move on although it's so wrong of others to tell you, lol.
Finally you're coming around. And yes you're constantly telling people they will get moderated for their behavior for having an opinion that differs to yours and what you perceive to be hundreds of supporters, that's backseat modding, you're not being a kind old member helping new members with the rules and etiquette, you're just attempting to shut up people who disagree by constantly repeating it with no point.the people that are complaining, which is a small majority
Yeah you’d be surprised how hard it is to simply skip your threads when at times they took up half the front page.
Afro is building an army. I'm calling it right here.Don't worry, hundreds of people will take your place and disagree with your point.
Seriously guys you aren't competent enough to not click a thread your not interested in and not voting in a poll? Well you're already gone so that's fine. Less headache.
Your behavior in this thread is much like your behaviour in your stupid 'Atari/Amiga VS 8bit Systems' poll. You are extremely arrogant, condescending, and rude. Here's a hot tip - people who think you're a bit of a dick who is spamming Gaf with low effort content aren't all 'trolls' or 'a minority'. I get that you're not big on the whole 'reflecting' thing, but you might want to consider the possibility that maybe you don't help your case with your relentlessly assaultive attitude, and need to attack other posters who disagree with you on anything at all.So go ahead and keep derailing conversations for no reason instead of not being insane and just skipping threads you don't want to be in. And again, what's interesting about these derails is that they are mostly buried by real discussion, making it more obvious when you guys are only there to complaint, half the time not reading the threads, so there's really not a reason for you to continue your pointless quest.
You don't have to ban anyone, but it does require some amount of moderation to keep it from turning to shit. One person posting 3-4 super low effort poll threads a day is already too much.
Your behavior in this thread is much like your behaviour in your stupid 'Atari/Amiga VS 8bit Systems' poll.
who is spamming Gaf with low effort content aren't a
relentlessly assaultive attitude, and need to attack other posters who disagree with you on anything at all.
I didn't get 'warned by a mod'. The thread was moderated. The moderation in question was:Oh you mean the thread you didn't read, got called out on it and got warned by a mod because you dropped the arguments to a grade school insult level? The thread that also tried to move on but you kept trying to instigate an argument over nothing?
Clearly, you don't believe that applied to you in any way - as evidenced by your conduct in this, and every other thread that you are involved in. Again, your lack of reflection, and your utter inability to consider that perhaps your attitude towards other posters generates a certain amount of hostility is remarkable.A dubious poll option is not justification for insulting and attacking other members, and action will be taken against those who continue down that path. If you have an issue with the way a thread has been setup, make your points and move on. If you think it breaks rules then report it.
The proof is the front page, which is riddled with your polls.You guys keeps saying this yet there's no proof. The only thing I've and other people have seen is people going back and bringing up posts and even then there's often not much more than 5 posts on the front page before the other move to page or or later. Most people move on, if you can't then don't click the thread.
We can go through the previous thread right now and observe, very clearly, that you started attacking me. Not the other way around. And, other people pointed out your dreadful behaviour. But, I guess you're right and everyone else is lying - right?You mean like the relentless assaultive attitude you had the very thread you mentioned? Move on dude, this whole thread is pointless. Learn to not click on threads you don't want to post in, that's the lesson for the day. Also stop making false narratives about spam that don't exist.
I'm not sure I understand where the hate for Afro Republican threads comes from. My general experience with his threads are: I see his threads and most of the time scroll past them, not because they have a poll but because they don't have anything I can participate in. I thought his FPS in 2007 thread was interesting so I posted in it. My question is, if people hate poll threads/AR threads so much why are they getting bumped? His threads get to at least 2-3 pages before they stop getting bumped, most of the time even more than that.
I guess I can understand people wanting quality over quantity but I still think people are being too hard on him.
The proof is the front page, which is riddled with your polls.
Keep it up, soon to page 4 to show everyone this is the kind of thread we need. Double post as above, 10+ times per page, the end justifies the means, just keep repeating the same thing over and over and over and eventually everyone will believe you are the one who is right and everyone else a minority of ill willed wrong doers. Such passion guarantees justice. 127 voters, soon hundreds of wutnau supporters.
It's ok man everyone else will be moving on.
I mean, you really couldn't ask for a more compelling 'exhibit A', could you.Snipped
Despite some posts, the site seems to be pretty [un]divided on this.
Community seems [not] split on this.
That's right, we don't. I'd take some bickering like this (and some shit threads) over mods that would make Stalin and Hitler proud simultaneously. Took me closer to Orwell's '84 than I thought possible.I know you guys don't want to hear it, but gaf was significantly better with strict moderating. The place is a genuine fucking joke now.
I vote to ban afro, or at least ban polls.
he will probably link an external poll tho. so ban him
