While Kopitiam is a place to hang out and chat, annoying threads which make no sense at all will be deleted and offenders warned. Chat threads MUST be tagged properly. Threads tagged [SERIOUS TALK] are threads where you may only post constructive and helpful comments.


I guess i dont need to explain in details about what im saying...
U guys knows the person and all his stupid brilliant thread.
I think atleast 2 of this threads were closed/invisibled...

Ok...some might say "wtf u bother to go and read and even post"....
I guess im to bored and need to express my boredom?

So should/can we have tighter rules in Kopitiam perhaps some warning?

No matter how much enforcement and rule making things will remain the same because of the following reasons

#1. Kopitiam spammers are retards

#2. Those same retards think they own kopitiam

#3. Retards are publicity whore

#4. And whever someone tells them to behave, they get a thorough flmaing or worse, if mod intervenes, same mod gets reported for being so called "harsh and rude"

See my point?

No idea...u wanna suggest?
Maybe atleast give warning like the current rules applied now...

But i think so far, the thread only been closed and no warning given, and yet another similar thread was up in the same day...

and they're not even half as bad as those in Cupid's Corner - emo people counselling emo people. sometimes (actually quite often) i'm amazed at the lack of quality (and sense for that matter) in the advice given to people who are already in depressed state.

I have threads in CC. Does that make me emo too? cry.gif

Anyway, I dont really think it's possible to enforce anything at Kopitiam. Given the amount of traffic that goes through there, who has the time to sift through all the threads to catch the spammers?

Besides, post dont count, so what's the big deal? Just stop feeding the trolls/morons, and they'll cease. The more attention you pay to them (either by flaming or responding to them), the more they'll carry on.

hmm.. did you user posted image this so called threads, or you just created this thread as a report?

We prefer to let the retards stay in the kopitiam, rather then have them run around in other parts of the forum. With the number of members we have, you don't expect everyone to be impeccably mannered do you?

As for your report (which i coudn't find so i'm taking this thread as the report), appropriate action has been taken on the user.

If you want Kopitiam to be "Cleaner" may be u can request for a "look ma!! I so bored" " Subforum just to group those retards there.

It is true that the current Kopitiam is a mix-match of useful and non-unseful thread. Normally I dont visit there.

It does make sense. We cant stop them from lurking around no matter what kind new rules have been cast on them. Even if u suggest to ban them or anything, in another few mins, a new acc appears and those retards start using it to spams around again. Then why dont we just ignore them and group them back in that section. Its better than letting them bothering in other section's threads. smile.gif

I'm with you. Real life or online life, there will always be retards.
Even now, there are already LOTS of retards roaming outside Kopitiam.
A clampdown in Kopitiam will only make these trolls seek pleasure elsewhere.

I must agree, Kopitiam is a really "fascinating" corner with a lot of "thought provoking" ideas. To think, quite a number of them know less than half of the things they are talking about.

Problem is, when you let them "vent out " their idiosyncrasies there, they think that Lowyat.Net is a Venting Machine. I have in fact come into contact with numerous postings that either don't make sense, or makes "non-sense". Mud is everywhere now. It is some times so hard to decide whether to answer back or just ignore. Some of the stuff they tell is just pure "unusable" and sometimes, highly damaging and misleading...

I hope I am not rambling here, but I do feel that some sort of action could be done, But as Reality goes, it just doesn't work. I guess sane people ought to just ignore...

Cheers...

If we do, then they'll cry "Police brutality! Police brutality!" or "LYN hampers discussion!" and "LYN sucksssss" and the ever famous "Mods are unfair/abuse power/drink forumers blood". yawn.gif

As in real life, we can only do something when an offence has happened.

Cue "Minority Report" scene.

I'm more annoyed generally at idiotic spammers such as Drifter who went to every thread in Kopitiam and spamming people to visit his thread. The other retards don't really bother me, infact they provide great amusement, or even the acknowledgment that there are much more stupider people than you out there xD.
