I have HAD IT! Get a bigger avatar today!

I was going to use my UN Rep status to vent to the admins about the rampant Mapspam problem currently taking place at the UN, but felt I should run it by the team first.

My instincts are usually pretty good in these matters, and eventually I wish to able to act unilaterally on our teams behalf (within reason, of course!).

That said, please PLEASE PLEASE allow me to send the following off to M-Rex and Luc:

Hi M-Rex and Luc,

Is there anything you can do to keep emperor from responding to each and every post??

I don't know what effect it is having on forum participation, but it sure makes it tougher to find the pertinent discussion. Plus, all members totally lose the ability to see who has recently responded in each thread, as emperor routinely holds the "last post" in virtually every one!

For obvious reasons, please treat this as an anonymous request. Any help you could lend here would be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully,

Donovan Zoi
UN Rep - Apolyton



Let me know what you think. If approved, I would like to send this out sometime tomorrow. As Barney Fife might say, you gotta NIP IT!

I understand the frustration a bit. But, he is a young man and it's his website. So, unless he's being heavy handed I'd just leave it be.

Maybe make a joke about his PC.

From what I hear, this reminds me a bit of panag. Except I'm sure Emperor actually has pertinent things to say as opposed to 100% spam.

DZ, I don't get why it's so big a deal, really. I'm sure it makes it more difficult to keep up with the UN forum, but it's not like Emperor is posting inflammatory messages, is he? It seems to me it's ultimately up to the admins to do something if they feel he's spamming too much. (Wait, "his" website. Is he an admin?)

I hope not.

Alright, I'll hold off. It just feels like we are getting a play-by-play of everything submitted. Pggar just sent in 5+ posts on behalf of his team, and some of the responses were "Thanks for letting me know" and "Sure." Others were hardly more than a reiteration of what had just been posted.

Well, I'll see how things pan out when the other four teams(!) post their decisions. I also can't wait for the legal discussions, where during a point-counterpoint I will have to undoubtedly sift through "Hey that's a good point" and "Hmmm. Never thought of that."

I'll let some other team bear the message, I guess. And believe me, someone will at some point, probably with even less tact than my offered solution.
