  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.

        Thursday, 03-Nov-11 14:24:45 UTC from web
        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.

            Thursday, 03-Nov-11 14:26:12 UTC from web
          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. @nerthos even with the rediculessness of some groups that have no meaning other then to anger mods. Freedom if speech delayed is freedom if speech denied. # #

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

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

        Thursday, 03-Nov-11 16:59:54 UTC from web
        1. @nerthos well in that case you simply need to send an email about it to me and it will be taken care of.

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

        1. @ceruleanspark sadly some users don't seem to understand that I am playing along with them when I delete a joke group that was created as a dare to the admins and mods to delete it. Don't be fooled by unsubtle trollery.

          Thursday, 03-Nov-11 17:10:27 UTC from MuSTArDroid
          1. @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".

            Thursday, 03-Nov-11 17:12:40 UTC from StatusNet Desktop
            1. @ceruleanspark well I do have the right to instruct mods and take upon myself to protect this site when it appears things are getting out of hand. The only person you have to thank is redenchilan or whatever to making his intention known to disrupt site administration. Feel free to recreate these groups. But avoid doing so in a way that attracts administrative attention. Its like sticking a marijuana sticker on your car while passing a patrol car. Guess who us getting pulled over?

              1. @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.

              2. @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.
