the whole point of bbv4life is to take stupid stuff and make it funny. the consequences of this are naturally going to be a much worse signal to noise ratio, but the benefits have been a hilarious forum. i don't think you should change that.

I'm not changing anything. I'm fleshing out the 'don't suck' guidelines a little for the newer posters who suck very badly.

my emperor (THATS YOU GILDWULF!),
i think you should be less "Mussolini makes the trains run on time" and more "Marie Antoinette lets them eat cake"
but thats just my opinion maaaan

As long as this is just advice it's fine. It's very good advice. The problem is gild, many of these posters just wanna troll. So we're just gonna have to own them until they get too frustrated and do something over the line and then you ban them The ciiiiiiiiircle of lifffffffffffffffffffffe.

fair enough, but doesn't your OP sound familiar:

[ QUOTE ]
1) Before you make a new thread, ask yourself if people will like it or not or if you're better off posting it in your blog.

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
4) take a look at the content and length of your last ten posts. If more than three of them were short little bbv4l catchphrases like 'f oot, ldo, etc.' and didn't add anything really at all to the discussion, you might want to start posting less and post only when you actually have something to say.

Hmm...

Don't be stupid, put thought and effort into what you post. This isn't your blog, nor is it a place to post whatever lame stuff pops into your head.

-Taking a quantity-over-quality approach, making pointless or useless posts, cluttering the forums, or derailing good threads.

There are plenty of other posting habits that walk a fine line, and will quickly get you in trouble if you [censored] them up. For instance, lame FYPs, bad –ament jokes, ‘ask me’ threads in which the OP is not even an expert on the subject in question, etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, I could find the comparable quote for this since it was in the previous rules which may have gotten deleted, but they made a big point of stressing that starting bad threads would be punished more harshly than making bad posts.

[ QUOTE ]
2) When in doubt, MAKE LESS THREADS. Start less threads, more responses to posts and only start threads if it is something interesting, funny, or original.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you do a great job here in general. To be honest, I don't think there has been much of a reduction in quality. I think some of the veterans may be starting to take bbv4life a little too seriously and need to remember where they came from.
