Is "Fox News" a SPAMMER? [CC: Cary]
Posted by: Asst Chief Eli ()

Survey says: Yes!

At the time of this post, "Fox News" has 13 threads on the first page of Off-Topic.

The rule of thumb is that 10 or more threads on front page = spamming.

Conclusion: Fox News is a spammer!

Please stop spamming the board, Fox News!

Dear Chief Eli,

How does this rule of thumb work? Who decided it? Is it scientifically measured and quantified?

Cary sent every member of the FU Archives a pm stating this rule.

I am prohibited by privacy and copyright law from reproducing that pm here, other than in general summary form.

Cary spent months developing this rule, which he believed properly balanced the community's needs with the spammer's needs. (Rest assured, Cary does not look down on spammers; he believes everyone is equal.)

When he had finally articulated a rule to his satisfaction, he then submitted it to Chuck Hoffman for quantitative analysis. Among other things, Chuck did extensive research on the practices of forums comparable to Fairfax Underground (unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your point of view, there are no forums comparable to Fairfax Underground).

To make a long story short, the rule is now officially in place.

Naturally, Cary will not enforce it. Especially if someone asks him to enforce it.

Unless he's annoyed. Then he will enforce it with great vigor; like the proverbial motherfucker.

So don't annoy him. Or me. Because I've got Cary's "ear".

"Dear Chief Eli"

Alas, I am no longer Chief, merely "Asst Chief," until Chuck leaves or dies in an apparent accident.

edit by Cary (the admin): Anything this poster proclaims about special insight or knowledge into my moderation decisions is bunk. It should be obvious, but I felt the need to reiterate.

Dear Asst Chief Eli,

It is much indeed a shame that you cannot share that PM. It must be a big deal if is protected by copyright and privacy law.

If you keep on trying really hard you will be promoted from Asst Chief to Chief.


Sincerely with seasoned greetings,
Fox News

ACE,

You make good points but I mean really? You're basically pulling on a kitten's tail in this thread. How can you justify putting gum in the retarded kid's hair just for a few laughs?

"I am prohibited by privacy and copyright law from reproducing that pm here"

Translation:

"I am making this shit up as I go along."

Thats still gets me.

I don't recall saying that. Are you sure it wasn't Eesh or Stabitha or Misery?

If we keep posting porn in his threads people will learn to avoid him.
