Everyone knows I raised some concern, when accounts suddenly started being approved almost daily. However, I also thought that Ron's normal policy of waiting months for a handful of accounts to be accepted, was a bit antiquated.
So what do we have to show for approving all of these new members? It appears as if most of them are veteran posters, who are simply using these new accounts in a self serving manner.
"Do you remember this guy?" "What happened to that guy?" "I think I will make 5 useless threads today!"
Go fuck yourselves.
The key concept with what you're saying is "most", not "all". This is a necessary evil of having more open registrations.
And given that this board has largely been the same people having the same debates for about the last 5 years, regardless of whether there is a 10:1 ratio of gimmick to new, the board was desperately in need of this. If Ron has consented to open registrations, it's because he recognised this.
If veteran members want to waste their free time making gimmicks and playing roles, fine. It's really quite simple. Anybody who just registered is presumed gimmick until proven otherwise. It has always been like this. The board has always had people wasting their lives away, pretending to be someone else.
That being said, I would be in favour of swift ban to any account that wants to be known as knowing getbig history AND be a gimmick. Either play the role fully or get out.
Says the account who tried to act like they died in a car crash to get attention on a message board
^^^ should be gone.
