JB Forum TABOO posts...NEW MEMBER ORIENTATION!

[jcliz]

I personally think all talk regarding the alleged "packs" of next year should be banned unless information is confirmed. This is the worst case of hype I've EVER seen.

It's really annoying when I post a response and someone tells me I didn't use a comma.

I agree with forever23, the constant nagging of "grammar police" is ridiculous. I mean it doesn't help with the forum at all. If it is written well enough to understand what the person is saying there shouldn't be a problem. And Indohan, you rarely capitilize the words at the beginning of sentences and you spelled button "botton" , but everyone knew what you meant so there is no use for 20 posts with sentence corrections. No offense to anyone, it's just really annoying

Yes, I agree about the constant grammar comment. It's not necessary, but it is also annoying to constantly read comments from people who do not use punctuations. So, what I'm saying is: try to use punctuations. I don't really purposely correct one's grammar unless the sentences are really that bad or the person is mocking me.

a new sentence.

Yes, that was a typing mistake. Is that really necessary? Well, let's see your mistake.

a sentence with the word "And".
2) You don't leave a space after quotes.
3) You need a period or a comma in between "meant" and "so".

Was I annoying? If yes, then you shouldn't have annoyed me in the first place with your corrections and "No offense to anyone" bs.

Nobody's perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. Avoid the mistakes that you know you're going to make, which is also a mistake that will make others difficult. I don't think my mistakes make others difficult. Lastly, stop annoying others if others don't annoy you.

^Alright man I feel you. I'm just saying this happens in many posts. One person corrects a mistake and the person they correct feel a need to correct them. Normally this continues until the original topic of the post is completely forgotten. That's why I said it was annoying. I guess if the punctuation hinders others from comprehending what is trying to be communicated then a little grammar help wouldn't hurt.

Keep in mind, that post was made back when NikeTalk was DONATION supported and not AD supported.

Our current situation differs significantly in that, since ezsupporter REMOVES ads from view, our community receives no compensation whatsoever for these views. In other words, ezsupporter views neither help nor hurt NikeTalk. It's an idiotic arrangement that will soon be rectified - one way or another.

I would advise against the purchase of an ezsupporter subscription, provided NikeTalk is the only ezboard you visit. We're switching formats within the next couple of months, so you won't get your money's worth.

I Think what we should do..is not accept so many members. Or a good idea would to have a series of quizes or something like that given to all applying members..for we won't have so many kids/people with no knowledge of sneakers/Hypebeast. Thus all members will be knowledgable sneaker heads who will have posts which hold a reason to them..

 

[l0uisiana]

^^^You gotta start somewhere.........You just need to sit back and read for a while. Being able to sign up and become a member but having to wait 3 months before you can post a topic would make better sense.


Why do you think you would pass a "quiz"?

[c0dyboy2222]

yea what he said is right

 

[calishoeking21]

All this talk about a useless post is kind of false. It might be a useless post for someone that has been here
a long time but for someone that is starting the experience of NT it's not. If you consider yourself an NT veteran/OG
then you should be able to filter all of the "useless" threats without a problem.
All the hate in the threats is actually what makes it fun and exciting. If everyone agreed or had the same opinion
on the topic then this forum will just be plain DULL.
On the other hand, I'm all for growth and improvement of this site. But I feel that there might be other ways to improve such as: Feedback forum for the Buying/Selling threat. Ive seen plenty people ripped off by cons due to lack of feedback. Sure they can provide refs but it can be themselves or friends in on the scheme.
We can also create a theat of all the relieable sellers and con artisits.
Just some ideas. But I commend Ijapino for the effort in improving this beloved site. A for effort.

I dont think its cool to say stuff is taboo just because you have seen the topic before. I' first discovered this board in like 2002 (I had another account) and it was awesome .A place to talk to other sneakerheads and find out about upcoming releases. I wouldnt want to take that away from other younger members. Having taboo posts and other restrictions is whats going be the downfall of Niketalk. Its going to be place where you cant have any e-fun.

 

[kapepper]

^asking which shirts goes good with my DTRT III isnt e-fun, its more e-horror
Taboo is good

btw: sdubl: it wasnt stickied back then :b

[ijapino]

This hasn't been bumped since November....And it's very evident that many ofour newer members should read this thread and get familiar with what gets posted. Some of y'all need a refresher course as well....If your post gets lockedor deleted, and you don't know why, it's very possible it fell within the taboo category.

[versache530]

ijapino,

i think that all of this is a matter of opinion. you might not think its good for the site to have all these repetitive posts but others might like it. if yousend someone to the archives to post about jordan quality or something like that, they are gonna post on page 150 of an endless thread where maybe no one elsehas posted or visited for a couple of days and there will be no discussion. so whats the point of posting??? people post (most times) to get a discussion goingor just to add their 2 cents on a topic. some old thread in archives will just be meaningless rants that no one will read. for example, if the end of a threadis page 150 and my post is on page 80, i could have answered the question or given info that was need to someone on page 150, but they wouldnt ever find itbecause who is gonna sift through 149 other pages of old crap that was posted months ago?

it sounds to me like you are wanting to get rid of post that get on your nerves. but you have to remember that in a community, there are many people. justbecause something might get on 100 peoples nerves here, the other hundreds or thousands of people here might like it or it not bother them. dont get me wrong,it drives me crazy too for people to post the same crap, but i cant just think about me. there are many people here that like those mentioned topics. itsobvious because #1 people keep creating those threads, and #2 people continue to reply to them.

what i do is, if i dont like the title, i dont go into that thread. simple. i just bypass it and go on to something i like. i feel what you are saying man, butits not right to regulate something because the minority doesnt like it. i agree with the guy a few pages back that said that there a bunch of young people onhere that love those topics and dont want to read topics with substance where us oldheads type forever like i'm doing now. you say its for the better ofthe community, but thats just an opinion. many others might like the direction the community is going in. whats better for the community should be decided bythe community, not one or two people. how about we have a vote? give like a two week period for everyone to vote on what should be done. give 3 or 4 scenariosto vote on and let niketalk decide.

but on another note, since it's obvious that you dont like those repetitive topics, i'm interested in knowing a few topics that you would like to seediscussed. maybe we can get those going.

 

[ijapino]

The point is to get people to expand on their creative thinking. It's also to serve as a tool for newer members to get an idea of what's been postedbefore. That is why some of the items on the taboo list has a link to where the post should go. (Sneaker Reviews, Sneaker Showcase, posts already existing,etc...) As I mentioned before, these posts aren't exactly against the rules, but they pop up way too often. Most are by newer members who may have missedthe post which still exists a few pages back.

Trust me, it's more about posts which get on my nerves. If it was, half the forum would be locked or deleted. I agree with you that if someone doesn'tlike what they see they should just move on. But because it's my duty to moderate the forum, It's part of my responsibility to try and keep things asorganized as possible....
