Die Qualität des deutsches Forums ist fast so gut wie das holländische :)
Die richtige Postcount-Threads sollte man schliessen, alle andere sind doch ok :cool:
GTA-Forum macht spass, never change a winning team! :) |

jau es gibt glaube ich noch einen dicken Unterschied zwischen Off-Topic und Spamming :)
Off-Topic: Ja bitte !
Spamming: Nein, eher nicht !

Also, ich agree mit Lunchalot volkommen. So schlimm wird hier noch nicht gespammed und auch wenn die meistens Sachen offtopic sind, was solls, Spass haben wir auf jeden Fall :)
Geld dafür zahlen sehe ich (noch :)) nicht ein, nicht für den Spamm-erhalt :nervous:. |

Das mit der Bandwidth kann ich voll und ganz verstehen. Habe schon viele Seiten gesehen die dadurch einfach untergegangen sind.
Man könnte TA aber auch anders unterstützen. Man könnte den gesamten Grafischen inhalt auslagern (Spart ne Menge). Das dumme dabei wäre das man dafür einen wirklich zuverlässigen Server braucht. |

| Sir. Lunchalot |
Um Euch up to date zu halten poste ich hier mein Post im Mod Forum:
| quote: | Here`s my opinion on this:
First of all I want to say that I voted to keep them open. Why? Here are my reasons, altough I`d like to add, that I see it from the perspective of a regional forum:
After thinking for a while I noticed that I could not clearely define the word "spam", so I did a search on google and the essence of my research is this:
Spam is (with the exeption of e-mail spam etc.) shameless self promotion, repeating the same thing over and over again in sequence and knowingly destroying/disturbing a discussion in a thread (Example: Q: What is your favourite colour? A: I like bananas.). After researching this I am not sure that we all mean the same thing when we talk about spam and that spam is highly subjective.
Where does spam begin and where does it end? Especially where is the difference between spam and off topic?
I looked trough a lot of threads in the Germany Forum and came to the conclusion that a lot of the things are a sign of socialisation, especially in the Germany Forum where we have a lot of very active members (most nights we have >10 active posting members). The people in the Germany Forum live very geographically wide spread, so they don`t spend a lot of time in real life together, but all the socialisation that is happening in this forum had the effect that we are planning a lot of meetups this Spring (RoRa, Qontact, Mayday and various smaller events) and even a forum party in April.
So my conclusion is that regional forums are a platform for people who share the same interests (=trance), but this doesn`t neccesarily mean that they only have to talk about this interest. The socialisation (some would call it spam, some would call it off topic) in the regional forums is a very good thing and IMO the main reason for regional forums. So I`m against closing threads where people are socialsing themselfs.
I agree that there are very good arguments for closing the "spam" threads that were brought up here. The most significant IMO is the one that it eats up a lot of bandwith and slows the forums. This is why I tought that it is time to not only take but also give. Since there is no donation system for TA (the reasons were explained to me by AndiH) I ordered myself an official TA shirt to show my support for TA. I know that the money from the t-shirts does not cover the costs for TA and I don`t want to build up an arguement like "We want to keep it, so we pay for it", but I want to give a sign of support.
I have also talked about this issue with the people from the Germany Forum and asked them to follow my example and set a sign and also buy a t-shirt. ATM drizzt81 is about to set up a kind of delivery service to Germany for the people who support this. Also the members of the Germany Forum are supporting the arguments I brought up here and most of them see it the same way I do. Now you can argue "How could you bring something up in public that is dicussed in this forum?". My answer is that it is something that affects the members and they should be aware of this and I see it as one of my duties to keep them up to date with things that concern them.
To sum things up:
A lot of the things happening in "spam" threads is socialisation and this is IMO the main reason for having a regional forum (I`m not talking about things like the example Coup provided in this thread). This is why I voted to keep them open. If we stop people from socialising with each other and having fun they will go away and this would be, at least for us GTA`s, something that would be a heavy blowback for us. |

ach du meinst zum beispiel das prinzip wie bei einem online-game z.b. spaceassault?? |

| Keine Ahnung wie's da läuft, ich weiss nur das es eine menge Bandwidth spart :) |
|

| Sir. Lunchalot |
| Die Graphiken brauchen so gut wie keine Bandwidth von TA weil die Signaturen nicht auf TA liegen und die Bilder in den Threads auch alle verlinkt sind. Es wird also nur die Bandwidth der User belastet, aber nicht die von TA. |
