Sorry for being an old lady, I was in a bad mood. I sort of tried to explain myself in the other thread. The MF is too huge as it is, a spamcapital thread would be unseemly. We already archive and purge to try to bring the size down so that it's not so huge. Etc etc BONC Aslkdfjsfa;rogisdfn OMGLOL!

Wait a minute.... are you using the excuse "the MF is too huge as it is" as a reason for cherry picking which threads you allow in? The fact is, you dont archive very often and I dont remember when the last time any pruning was done and in fact threads are frequently moved back OUT of the archives, something no other forum gets to do. The Badlands has been pruned of many times more posts in the past two years than the MF ever has.

Why dont you just be honest about why you dont want them starting a spam thread, because if you really believe the MF is too huge, I can fix that.

I knew it would be taken this way. It wasn't an excuse, but I can see that it's going to be an uphill battle to convince you otherwise.

I thought I was doing good by not inviting a spam thread into the biggest forum by 5x on the board. And as soon as I did this, I archived about a year's worth of threads. (Yes, Wacky has unarchived some of them since, I don't know how many -- I didn't warn any MFers about it because it's always met with objections or nerves).

This subject hasn't come up for a while, since board performance hasn't been as much of an issue. This thread reminded me about it, because ever since archiving/pruning was an issue, I've been getting self-conscious once in a while about the size of the MF. So, rather than say "Sure, spam away!" I did the opposite and said the MF was the last place that needed it, and turned around and archived threads as a gesture. The fact that I was short with them about it really was due to my life sucking at that moment, so it took me a while to think it through and explain myself.

We wear the ELITIST tattoo given to us, but we're not cocky about it. At least I'm not. But think whatever you like. Lately, no matter what board I'm on, I seem to be damned if I do and damned if I don't. *begin violins*
 
Awww....I appreciate you Eggs.

I personally would rather not have the SpamCapitals anywhere. Its mostly crap spam and Dork Lord's copypasta.
