!hugs all around
Thursday, 03-Nov-11 13:23:41 UTC from web-
@shori You must join the !hugs group! Stat!
-
-
@flaxx Which hugs group? I thought I was already in one.
-
@nerthos What!? What is this blasphemy? No more hug group! D:
-
@shori I thought I was in it too! D:
-
@flaxx It was moonprincess' group cleaning, like two days ago.
-
@nerthos But... why?
-
-
@flaxx Useless groups, that can be replaced by hashtags. Cabal wanted to do a cleaning, and moonprincess wasn't in a good mood. So half of the groups got murdered.
-
@nerthos And nothing of value was lost.
-
@nerthos In the staff's defense, the groups tab is horribly misused.
-
-
@colfax The !Stabs group seems pretty useless. Just throwing it out there.
-
@nerthos Ah, alright. Oh well. Guess it's no big deal.
-
@ceruleanspark What !stabs group? ;)
-
@flaxx @ceruleanspark @colfax Yeah, i'm not complaining about it. The !hugs one freaked the soul out of me.
-
@nerthos There's quite a few I'd like to remove.
-
@colfax Like wich ones?
-
@nerthos What's wrong with hugs? :/ But yeah, I'm not complaining either.
-
@nerthos Like all the broken ones with no names because someone didn't know how to make a group, all the carcino groups, and a few others I can't recall easily because I'm not entirely awake yet.
-
@colfax I think the broken ones were redenchilada's fault, playing with kanji xD the carcino ones are funny and have a purpose
-
@flaxx It's just that a group for the sole reason of posting the word "hugs" is useless. You can just use a # instead of !
-
@nerthos No, they don't. And all the broken ones aren't all redenchilada's fault unless he's offering cheap payday loans on the side.
-
@colfax Broken spam groups? Lol, they fail at failing. At least, the !carcinoformod one has a purpose. And one of them is mine, the !carcinoismessiah one.
-
@nerthos Other than wasting database space they serve no purpose.
-
@colfax Perhaps the same could be said of every single group.
-
@colfax But carcino should be a mod. He does great things for the community, like scaring foreign trolls until they leave, like that time with the flankbook one who posted "dole" lots of times.
-
@nerthos I remain unconvinced.
-
@colfax Still, the only really useful ones are the meetup ones and !blamepurpletinker, because it's all purpletinker's fault.
-
@ceruleanspark Not really, at least some of them are related to ponies in some fashion.
-
@colfax I think the only groups we should keep should either be the ones concerned with site organisation (Something like !mods and !admins) and ones for meetups. none of the others are really...for anything.
-
@ceruleanspark !posey is not useless!
-
@ceruleanspark I'd also like to see it set up so you have to be a member for a certain length of time before you can create groups.
-
@colfax If you set it to two weeks or something like that, no more spam groups.
-
@nerthos Pretty much, yeah.
-
@nerthos Eeyup, that's the whole idea.
-
-
@colfax Talk with cabal about it, i think nopony will oppose to that idea.
-
@jinny hello muffin
-
@nerthos No point, they're always "too busy" to bother with anything like that.
-
@colfax Well, a shame. It was a great idea that would make shortwork of the spam. Another thing that would help is a wordfilter for links with the word "loan"
