It's doing some weird things to me, like it bans my e-mail on my first attempt registering, and have to make one whole new e-mail account just for this(worth it, though). And I don't think I've ever done anything with my e-mail accountS down here. You ban three of my accounts like you already know me. 'you FBI guys or what?

I can't upload my Avatar.....

I can't PM anybody including the mods and ad........(and when that's what I should be doing when I have problems here.... how ironic)
---------------------------------------------------------------t
The threads are always full of off-topicness, and from my observarion they're by the same ol' guys.

That's all for now, I think this should be directed to Miraigamer, and not here, or not?

But here's one that should be totally under Cave Story's site:
The character next to the date above my posts is Curly!!(for instance, ;) ) I'm a man, you know. I don't think I'd mistakenly chose the wrong gender while registering! Please don't do this to me! It's deteriorating my.. uh...... dignity!! >|O

Actually, take a look at the rules topic somewhere. It helps.

freezit4, could you explain the banning part a bit more? How can you tell your emails are banned?
I don't know if this forum has any auto-banning functions that might be behind your problems, but I guess the resident moderator would know.

How did you manage to create this account?

Avatars (and PMs too, I guess) become available after a set amount of days and posts, if I remember correctly. Maybe around a week and ten posts or so.

Too many people complain about this, it's time to put a stop on this.

He's right and if you guys don't quit offtopic, I'll talk to the admin and you will get pain in the ass when posting -_-"

This forum turns slowly into a kiddie/spammer forum aka the giant offtopic heaven.

Then go into a offtopic forum ;)
This is about Cave Story, not about offtopicness.

But if the offtopikness was spawned from legit CS discussion... after all, the farthest branches of a tree can trace their way back to the roots and yadda yadda insert something philosophical here. I have no clue what I'm saying. Good day.

I'm sorry if you feel offended and missunderstood, I'm all for fun, but this is TOO MUCH offtopicness.

i agree, but most of us are off topic because there is nothing to talk about, when there is something cavestory to talk about were usually on topic for a bit

I think if we stop all offtopic posts from here on out, it will become a quiet place...
Every so often a topic that we already talked about will be reposted by someone new, and we'll say similar things again. Until people start getting forum assassined.
And then it will stay quiet.

I think we just need to hire someone to go through our posts and thoroughly hide bits and pieces of posts that are offtopic [if the offtopic button is off]. And if it's on it shows all!

Anybody know someone trust worthy and will work for free for ever?

But, seriously I love ontopic interesting Cave Story posts. But, I don't want to see it go the way of another forum I know... Where most people have stopped posting since there was nothing left to talk about :(
Perhaps if we have a thread that we really want to be free of offtopic posts, we just ask people and remind them. If it's S.P.'s thread he can say please stay on topic, and if we keep going offtopic he can eventually just delete our offtopic :) But if it's one of our threads and we don't mind offtopic, we can go offtopic. Just respect the thread author maybe?

Er anyways, gotta run!

I agree with both of you. The offtopicness is alright because it flows with the normal conversation and can pick up into an ontopic discussion as soon as someone brings up the subject again. The problem is the spam and anything not related to the current discussion nor to the topic itself.

Forum issues > Discussion about offtopicness is good.
Forum issues > Discussion about offtopicness > Spambots is also good.
Forum issues > UFOs is bad.
Forum issues > UFOs > Monkeys is very bad.
3 Word Story Time > Spam infested mess that I have to clean up is worse.

3 Word Story is not spam. We are doing 3 word story, we are posting 3 words, if its ours it should be our decision, not yours, seriously. >:

Hey SP, a suggestion, once a topic has been answered, why don't you lock it?

I think it would be better to only lock threads where the author requests a lock, or it gets out of control...
What if someone else finds something new, in a supposebly answered thread?

Like on the Bethesda fourms, people request locking their threads sometimes when it doesn't apply anymore or their question is answered. Oh and a thread is locked after it reaches 11 pages on that forum :) Then they create Thread #2 etc of the same topic. Sorta useful when topics stretch for 100s of pages...

On the other hand they have tons of admins :(

I know that you banned my e-mails cause YOU said so! After each of my attempts of registering, YOU will state something like
Mirai Gamer? said:
*Your E-mail account has been banned from teh site dumbass. lol. Didn't see that coming, eh? Retry? Yes/No this site. Contact the administrator(<-- links to the ad's e-mail).
So, I could just contact the ad but I think it's a hassle.. I don't even know what I did wrong to you and have to compose one formal letter?
(I suck at writing formal letters during composition class :o
I think making one whole e-mail add is just the easier, lighter way )

As for how I made this account, just read again my first post.

Where do I really find the real ruling rules of the forums? These site-sharing thing confuses me quite and the rules threads didn't help me quite much. They're all just ethics that anyone that aren't pudding-syrup-jugs should know by himself.
Like, where do I really find the youcanpmoruploadavatarafter10posts+aweek?
If it wasn't for you telling me................ oh Thanks uh..... veteran-Dutch-or-maybe-Deutch-Ika-chan-fan.

P/S: Is it Mirai Gamer or GameFlaws? It's teh confuseder....

*Tries PM-ing and Avatar-ing (edit) which ended in success :( Really, nothing wrong with that sprite, IT IS the main character :)

Edit: This thread is kinda much resolved, if you cast the other things which may not affect me anymore now aside. But may I ask what 'Neophyte' really means? And do you really know what it means?
And why is there a ton of grammar mistakes to be found in the forums? (Like I'm that great of a language user) And there's a heap of spelling errors d'uh! even words like spelling get spelled spellign and grammar becomes grammer or garmmar)

Maybe this is the reason why your previous emails were banned. The addresses didn't happen to be along the lines of cheapviagra@right.nu or prons4free@whatever.com?

Just sayin'...

(And no, those aren't real email addresses. Probably. Hopefully)

Rules are hidden away in here.

Neophyte means new guy.

He's read the rules already, if the "who's online" facility can be trusted.

I mean, the offtopic in the last time gets out of control, members are posting more spam and offtopic than real helpful posts. I think we should reduce the post number of some members. :confused:
