PHASE 1
You posted something negative on CH about what Ash posted there. On CH I said why can't you leave her alone here and on CH. You said "Leave HC out of it".
You must have a really bad memory 
Cause personally, it's like someone else talking.
And what's ironic was that it wasn't even negative. But you actually seem to have a "OMG TheDeath posted/replied to Asheera!" -- obviously threads or cliches made by others don't bother you... I see your point (see: Lexxan)

No but you can't accuse someone of the same rape with multiple charges over and over again.

Is it just me or is it getting more and more difficult to tell which parts of which posts are actually serious in this thread...

@Cepheus: no one seems to answer when I ask how to make the OSM more attractive to newcomers. Also people are focusing on the 2 posts per day example and not acknowledging that my words actually said lets work out a limit per time ratio.
Here's the whole exchange at CH

By the way, what are your favorite movies? Mine:

6. The Terminator movies
(from my current chaotic thoughts, for sure missed some )

Then it's pointless since we don't know your entire list. As an extreme example, imagine someone watching only "Ricky 1" () and then saying it's the best movie he ever watched.
I'm not saying you have a bad list, heck those are one of my favs as well. wink

Hey Borsuc if you don't want to be 'flamed' then don't write insulting posts like this. Hardly a cheap shot. Ash herself protested.
So it's not my fault you were trying to make fun of her and tell her she hasn't seen any movies. You take every opportunity you can to find fault. Especially out of place in fun threads like Nation States and Movies.

Nothing personal, I was just passing comment on the sheer stupidity and needlessness of certain quarrels going on here.
Coincidentially, that's why I don't post in the OSM

Wait a sec, you mean, this ins't the Wastelands? Ooops!
EDIT: After giving the thread a Quick read, I think that decreasing the Post Limint on OSm would be undesirable (=NO) . Yes, it would limit Quote Wars, but would it also limit the activity thoroughly? I mean, an unactive board is imo a useless one. And if they cannot post in OSM, how else can TheDeath and Mvass fill in their spare time?
And, Imo, it would solve the QW problem (if it'ss a problem at all): it would move it. I've seen Quote Wars bin the Temple and the Tavern before: Why wouldn't it occur more often there?
Quote Wars on their own aren't a problem. The offtopicness that oftenly follows them is.
At least, that my opion of the matter (if it matters at all)
(And I still have no Post count limits )

Of course your opinion matters, you are a member of the community.
I agree that offtopicness is a big problem and quality is a problem sometimes.

It would be the best movie he's ever watched. It'd also be the worst movie.

I gave my suggestion. A limit-per-time ratio is a horrible idea, though. We already have floodprotect - that's enough.

Ok let me restate this very clearly (by the way, I didn't say anything you accused me before of as well but let's ignore that... like "leave that stuff for HC"):
What is wrong with what I said? Was it off-topic? (it was about movies) It wasn't even personal (it was a reply to a goddamn list which could have been everybody's).
What the hell was wrong in saying that she missed a lot? So if someone says in a game "I haven't played it but this looks good" and someone replies "Man, you don't know what you lose!" THAT is a provocation or getting personal?
By the way at least I was on-topic

Wow another childish argument.
So if I say in this thread "I don't think The Death should be allowed to post in OSM anymore because he attacks other members" that's ok because it's on topic?

What's the point of posting in the OSM in a discussion (most likely those 'heated' with huge quote wars) I know I'll get answers like: "You have no point at all", "Your points have no substance", etc.
I like how you're trying to defend Asheera by doing the very thing that keeps her away from the OSM.

I somehow have the feeling for needing to say something since this whole situation is based more or less on me. Somehow I think it's my fault...
Sheesh guys please stop this. Phoenix I appreciate you trying to 'defend' me but just stop, maybe we (all) can come to an agreement.
And Death please stop with your arrogance, you could said it much more nicely anyway instead of that sarcastic response.
Also, what was in the past was in the past. Of course, that means it shouldn't happen again, so Death please just stop trying to take every opportunity to find a flaw or fault in someone's post. This doesn't apply only to what you did with my posts, but also for the jokes you 'ruined'. For example take that one where you said the quality of a funny image sucks. Obviously that wasn't the point of the poster at all since the image was supposed to be funny but you just had to find that flaw (quality) and 'attack'. So just please stop with being naughty like that.
Now let's return to the topic of how to make the OSM more enjoyable, hmm? Oh and I vote for a thread-name change to something like "Improving the OSM", I don't know, I think it fits better. IMO of course.

TheDeath/Asheera confirmed.
Now, how should we make the OSM more enjoyable? I suggest locking all the major posters in a basement, and see who survives the longest.

Oh and LOL @ your suggestion.
How about making it 'not allowed' to post after just one post between your last one, so as to not have any more quote wars between two posters?
I know it sounds silly... disregard it

No. Why can't two people argue however they want?
How about we do nothing? There's absolutely nothing wrong with the OSM.

But but... 
Now I mean really, wouldn't it be boring if I didn't point out flaws that most people ignore? You know most times, I'm just joking around with them  (maybe william should take them less seriously a lot less to be exact)
As for the argument with Phoenix, to be honest I thought I was done with it (before this thread of course) but he keeps popping it up for some reason
Not saying I am an angel (lol ) but I just don't like wrong accusations (even on someone else -- though I do not usually 'defend' others because, frankly, I do not even KNOW if it's a wrong accusation or not, since I usually don't know what others have/think; not that I otherwise wouldn't).
I don't think there is anything in the OSM to improve -- I think the attitude needs to change though (and my special derailing mad skillz need to change as well ) -- however I'll give it a break to OSM arguments now (am a bit busy  ) but otherwise I think it is fine. Look at the other threads in it, not all of them are about fierce debates

Because the OSM is NOT only about 2 persons! Why do you think there is a moderator in every tv discussion? Because otherwise those discussions would end like most of the OSM threads here: 2 guys start arguing over and over and no other participant get's the chance to say anything anymore.
Try to involve other members too.
If that doesn't work, create a new OSM thread called "Mvass + TheDeath Quote war" and you can write until your fingers get broken.....
