  1. Ok everypony. As Colfax said, a minimum of lets say, a week of being a member should be required to create a group. That would end the spam groups, while not being a problem to normal ones. Also, a wordfilter in links with the word "loan" should be useful too. Lets get this into popular so @cabal and @purpletinker consider the idea.

    1. @nerthos You say it like a wordfilter is trivial to implement.

      1. @ceruleanspark All depends who's coding it. ;)

      2. @ceruleanspark I'm not into web desing, so i don't know how the wordfilter thing works.

      3. @ceruleanspark It would be slightly more trivial than it currently is if someone was actually working on one...

        1. @colfax I thought about it. Then I decided I had more profitable ways to waste my time. Like onanism.

    2. @nerthos That really won't do anything. most of the useless groups are made by bored members that have been here a while. Like me. I made, like, thirty redenchilada groups for no reason other than I was bored and I could.

      1. @theonepony Yeah, but is not about them, but all the "buy loans" and things like that.

        1. @nerthos Have they been making groups while I was away?

          Thursday, 03-Nov-11 14:25:46 UTC from web
          1. @theonepony Yeah, at least five.

          2. @theonepony And some of them have avatars, and even one of them talked back.

            1. @nerthos Dear God. They're changing..... *Que Left4Dead opening intro montage*

              1. @theonepony They leveled up in the last week.

    3. @cabal That sounds like it is in favor of freedom of speech.

      Thursday, 03-Nov-11 16:58:38 UTC from web
    4. @cabal It was about spam groups, trying to sell things, not joke groups. I'm ok with the joke ones.

    5. @cabal >Instructs mods to clean up the groups list >Claims that deleting groups isn't freedom of speech wat.

    6. @cabal It wasn't just that group that got erased though. A bunch of pointless groups got erased. That's not trolling, that's "maintaining the site".

    7. @cabal Don't misread me, I'm very much pro nuking the groups, protecting the site, etc. We could do with more of that at times. I just found your particular comment on freedom of speech difficult to reconcile with that.

    8. @cabal "making his intention known to disrupt site administration" Excuse me? What?

      1. @redenchilada ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH

      2. @redenchilada are you describing me?

        Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:04:07 UTC from StatusNet Android
        1. @carcino No. Cabal said that about me. It's rather insulting to me that he thinks that.

          Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:05:05 UTC from web
          1. @redenchilada why does all the administration think you are like, a terrorist or somethin?

            Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:06:00 UTC from StatusNet Android
            1. @carcino It's honestly just Cabal. I think. I don't know why.

              Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:07:28 UTC from web
              1. @redenchilada wasn't tink on your murdock about something too?

                Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:08:25 UTC from StatusNet Android
                1. @carcino Not that I know of.

                  Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:09:12 UTC from web
                  1. @redenchilada hmm

                    Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:09:38 UTC from StatusNet Android
              2. @redenchilada Cabal, why you be hating on the enchilada?

                Thursday, 03-Nov-11 18:08:28 UTC from web
          2. @redenchilada I think he's being sarcastic. It's obvious to anyone that you do weird things only for the joke, but never let the jokes reach a real problem status.
