Popular Post Kittens Are Awesome Posted April 12, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm sure this has been burried in some thread somewhere, however, I cannot be the only one annoyed when all of the "recent status updates " section is just one person leaving little notes for 10 different people. Why does this feature even exist? Isn't that what PMs are for? I mean, if I'm the only one bothered by it, by all means, ignore me. Otherwise, I suggest we remove the feature all together or at least not plaster them on the recent updates section. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 To be honest, I never read the bloody status updates anyway. Unless I'm just scrolling and spot Spider-Man or Tony Hawk or something else I like, I don't even look for half a second. If what you're talking about is what I'm thinking though, then yeah, it's just pointless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a couple people annoyed by it, also, I've known people getting warnings for posting too many p2p updates. Well, I guess that's 2 votes for "don't care" section.

Avatar_Of_Battle Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The issue has been brought up before. I think it was back in january actually someone was told to stop doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I know what you mean Phil, it's every day and becomes a bit of an eyesore. I don't mind so much if people are putting a personal status asking about a game, but it's always these bright anime gifs (that probably take up site bandwidth) I agree that things like that could be taken to PM.

If you're not saying anything inappropriate, so what if you're kind of spamming the status feeds, if anything, I'd make it so if you've done more than one recent update, that only the latest will show on the forum home page. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, what it does is push out people asking the community questions. Also, I don't think an actual warning point was given, I think, like Avatar said, they were asked by a mod to stop. But if a mod or Sly has asked somebody to stop spamming, it must have been in excess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it used to be. However, some things may be out of Sly's control as far as adding/removing features on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MesopithecusUK Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Honestly, rather than leaving little status notes for 10 people. it would be easier to just invite those 10 people into a PM and leave one big note 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's the motivation for all of them, but most of them in the recent status update section have a single reputation point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damon8r351 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yes, I'm a little annoyed by it, but I think people expect me to be annoyed by everything at this point. I think the previous forum software left off those updates from the Recent Statuses list; you had to click into the history to see those. Think we need to return to that if it's possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I wonder if they could limit it to one status update a day for each person? Multiple replies should be fine, but somehow limit it so it doesn't get spammed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the fact that the site caters to trophy hunters have to do with trading reputation points? 26 minutes ago, Rach said: The other thought that I had would be to remove likes and reputation points from statuses altogether.

But if a mod or Sly has asked somebody to stop spamming, it must have been in excess. The incident I believe you're referring to, was someone thanking each and every person that viewed their user page. She didn't post any images, though. The images can be kind of a nuisance, when you're scrolling down the status update page. But they're a new thing you couldn't even do before, so naturally, many members are going to make use of it. They don't really bother me, so I'm not really for or against the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PooPooBlast Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Totally agree. Don't want to say names but it's certainly annoying and cluttering the status section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
