I hate when 2 people square off in an interesting Internet fight, and lack the wheels to take it to legendary lengths like the good olde fights of yore.
I would like an example of this. In my own expierience its been pretty useless.
I hate when people bandy about their military service in the forums to prove some stupid point, like it grants them special insight regarding world events
ME TOO. CHRIST.
I hate when people have nothing to add, they toss in their nothing anyway
See. This is why I post so little. Most of the time I would be like "LOL DUDE". I can say that to my computer. I have to say that I've been fairly with most of the new peeps in here. Of course, by the same standards, I'm pretty damned unimpressed with myself. fuk.

I hate feeling as if the rush of new babyheads has not just driven away some cool people, but led to decreased participation by some of the folks who are still around.
I hate that people will forever look back fondly on everything, even if it was shit. For whatever reason, memory spins shit into gold.
Sometimes I can't stand that nothing is serious. Every once in a while, no one wants to hear a tired-ass contrived joke.
Sometimes I can't stand that something is too serious. It's just the internet. Lighten up.
I hate that the forums are so free that people can jump right in with "I'M NEW" and "FIRST POST LOL" and "WITTY INTERNET CATCHPHRASE THAT IS ACTUALLY CURRENTLY IN USE AT FARK.COM" and not get banned. This is why SA forums keep the 'tards out...sort of.
I hate that if someone posts, others can bitch at that person. You are not the LS police. This is Linkswarm, where we can say and do whatever the fuck we want.
I hate that any political discourse quickly devolves into either an attempt at "winning" by "proving" philosophical points or into a shitfest because morons are bored reading about anything that could concern them about their own future.
I hate that people will steadfastly stick to their guns in the face of irrefutable evidence. There's nothing wrong with seeing a better argument and switching sides.
I hate that the internet lacks tone, context, accountability, and 99% of the other cues for communication. The more that technology allows us to communicate, the less communication we are actually involved in.
I hate real life because there is accountability if you slap a picture of tubgirl on a bulletin board. |

Dude, I hear you. After reading their posts, I am trying very hard not to post anything under SoFikingWhat's, Sahlgoode's and Qwerty's comments to avoid even the slightest possibility of endorsement.
But since these niggots spam almost everything, I have no choice or desire left.
I should point out that lately, both the frequency and quality of their posts have improved a little. But that's not saying much.

Lefen strongly dislike:
1) Tentacles.
- I just feel that you should contribute soley as yourself, with all the different parts of your personality (humor/intellegence etc etc) on show. If you're a tentacle, you're fiction, you're a comic book charcter, and in a situation like this, where the only interaction we have is words on a web site, it becomes hugly insulting to find out that some of the people you've interacted with don't exist. And for the record, I also don't like it when tentacles are used to troll n00bs - especially the promising ones.
1.1) Scaring off promising n00bs.
2) People who suddenly criticise LS (posting) trends that they themselves helped to create. Actually, this should have been top of my list, because it's my pet hate.
3) The absence of a LS 'text-only' mode *Hi VAs* I sorta accept that tubgirl could be lurking behind any link, but when I'm browsing at work and someone has inserted her into a seemingly innocent-looking topic, it just makes Lefen hart sink :/
--
For the record, I have no intention of watching my capitalisation or spelling of words like fuk, but when I'm making a legit post, I think it helps to be more legit.
On a personal note (this thread has made me think about me as a swarmer), I know I'm not an engine of change or a fountain of new and exciting threads/ideas, but I hope that overall, I make a positive contribution ( I certainly try). Lefen nub you guys long time xx
edit for goddamn typos - not doing again :/

As a side note. I like being invisible. LK's subtle kick to the face has helped me understand how fucking retarded I am.

Funny you should mention this.
SA is remarkable to me for two reasons.
1) The awesome user community. Those of you who use the site know exactly what I mean.
2) They ban people at the drop of a hat.
I suspect these two things might be related. They're very rarely what you'd consider "real" bans, cause unless you're a real shitheel you can just pay $10 and get back in, and there's no bitterness associated with the ban on either side. It's like you just ran across an administrative tripwire and pay the consequences and then you're free to carry on as you choose. If I could justify such a policy in the context of my otherwise anything-goes model, I'd be interested in trying this out for a bit to see how it went. Not a $10 ban, though. Like a six-hour or one-day ban or something.

It should be noted that Fark also does this (the day-long ban, not the $10 one) and they are as gay as ever.
Putting aside the fact that I am probably already on the shortlist for this ban once it is implemented... It has to be executed properly for it to do anything, and even then it still has the amazing potential to be nazi-ish and gay. |

Perhaps Fark is chock-full of idiots. I dunno, I never go there except when someone crawls out of the woodwork to complain that LinkSwarm ripped Fark off somehow and then I get bored quick and forget it all again. SA is definitely not full of idiots, and I'd like to think LS isn't either.
But I'd like more opinions, both for and against. If you like, email/PM them to me (I prefer email, always) cause I don't want to derail my own thread, and I don't want to start a new one on this particular topic until I've thought about it more.

I'm trying to understand this. It's almost like your saying you don't like all niggers because they're niggers. To a great extent, WE ARE ALL FICTIONAL CHARACTORS ON THE INTERNETS. But what I think you are getting at is, the "tentacle" interaction is inauthentic because someone uses a persona not close enough to the one we use in real life. My arguement is that sometimes "tentacles' DO suck but only because they lack interesting traits not just because they are "tentacles".
And for the record, I also don't like it when tentacles are used to troll n00bs - especially the promising ones.
For the most part, when I "tentacle" I'm trying to entertain the regular members. And I try to be cognicent of scaring away promising members but honestly, fuk em. I always wait until things have turned to shit until I step in anyway. I know this is going to come off sounding super-elite but it's up to them to prove themselves to us not the other way around. We HAVE gotten many new and great mebers since I have arrived here, you included. The nature of this site promotes the culling and weeding out of crap, sometimes I try to aid in this process. It's always within peoples power to rise above my stupid attempts and go on to greatness. I SEEN IT HAPPEN LOTS. |

Abso-fucking-lutely. They legitimately still use the same jokes from YEARS ago. And we're talking internet time. For instance: that never-was-funny Admiral Ackbar "It's a trap!" shit. That is literally in every discussion thread.
To compare Fark bans to SA bans isn't entirely equivalent. Fark will change your language automatically, and they're fucking pansies. SA is more along the lines of banning people who are uninteresting or do the same tired old bullshit or spam their websites. It's not that I am big ol' SA fag or something, I just think they manage to do what they do pretty well. Fark does nothing well.
Of course, the dilemma is unfortunate. LS is that kind of a place where people feel free to do whatever they want. Like ghostrider -- I would have banned him when he was first contributing his usual amount to the swarm. He pretty much annoyed the shit out of me. A few months later, and I had completely changed my mind. Now I don't think it would be the same without him.
I also like that we scare some new people away. I lurked for a long time, lurked after I signed up, and tried not to be too much of a moron (inevitable) when I first started posting. I still got some shit. It will happen ANYWHERE on the internet as long as that place is actually worthwhile. But I'm not a fagot who has his delicate feelings hurt and decides to fold under the pressure. No one who stays here is like that. If we welcomed everyone with open arms, no matter if they know NOTHING about the community, rules, conventions, standards, and hierarchy, then this would be a festering shitheap of new people who crap up the forums. Not to beat a retarded horse, but in the SA forums they frequently tell people "Lurk more." It means that you should learn something before posting. It should absolutely apply here.
Frankly, if LS was half of what it was when I signed up, it still would have been the best shit out there. I like a whole lot more than I hate. |

I just personally find it difficult to interact with multiple characters that I know are the same person. I guess the real life equivelent would be Lefen + Lefenfriends in the pub, and one of them walks off and comes back in different clothes and with new name, and then we have to treat that person like they're someone else for the rest of the night.
I'd just rather have one person with may facets than many one-dimensional charcters because the latter can only respond within the bounds of their character (or maybe thats the entire point?).

Fark is fark. It's never going to get any better because the community doesn't demand it.
A ban system definitely has potential to be very unfair if it's implemented badly. I can see admins using it to squelch stuff they don't like personally. While I don't like that scenario, I figure the admins put in the time and energy to keep this place going, so they can enjoy a few power drunk moments here and there.

1) I dislike spite for the sake of spite anywhere it rears its head. Perhaps you have been picked on your entire life for your physical appearance, you speech impediment, your crappy car, adoration for sci-fi & comics or for your fat girlfriend and perhaps the internet is your only way to lash your frustration back out at others. I’m certainly not saying it should be all hugs, puppy dogs and rainbows around here. But save the total shitstorm for spammers or completely out of control assholes.
2) Lately it seems like it takes 75% of newer arrivals (that actually end up sticking around) about 2-3 months to settle down. I’m not exactly sure how this break in process works but it seems in this period that they either directly or through all the flak they publicly receive as an unruly noob may chase off other more interesting folks who arrived or became vocal at the same time. Missing out on some promising new posters makes me sad.
3) The Fact that I randomly capitalize, spell and punctuate like an autistic middle-schooler actually might upset people on an informal board is fucking annoying. If I wanted to be critiqued I would go back and take and English class from some sexually frustrated anal retentive teacher that cherishes their red pen more that creative expression. Yeah I’ve used teh funnay and teh ghey before but as an accessory so my sweet sacred concubine sarcasm. God I love that bitch!
4) My own damn avatar and how freaking big it is and that I’ve been too lazy to resize it & resubmit it to Vas.
5) Threads that become too egocentric and more or less morph into swordfights to see whose e-penis is bigger. I tend to stay out of it all anyway but it still seems about as useful as gangster rap posturing.
6) At a personal level that I also hate that procrastinated a whole day and 3 pages to post on this thread because I’m damn non-confrontational

Since I would guess that you're basically referring to me, I wasn't really trying to compare. I just think you can look at certain sites and say "they do their shit bad" or "they do their shit good." In fact, I think I specifically mentioned that I think SA does a good job at what THEY do. I know it's different, it's not equal, it's not particularly comparable. What I mean to say is they succeed in some ways where LS might be failing. You have to give me that, at least.
I hate that sports fags/ gun fags/ comic book fags are so serious about their diversions.
I hate that I feel the need to defend what I've said in this thread. I should lighten the fuck up.
I hate that I'm bitching about the only site on the internet that can consistently entertain me in novel ways for hours on end. No one will ever be happy with what they're given.
I hate that various individuals are pointed out in this thread, especially SFW. Not to be a total gaywad, but after his annoying phase, he went on to basically open up a vein and spill his arterial blood all over some journal entries. He admits to some heavy shit, and basically gets people mocking him in return. He has said some valuable things, just like every other poster on Linkswarm...including Qwerty.
I hate sarcasm, especially online. I hate whenever I use it. It was cool in 1993 when I was in gradeschool and said "no duh" a lot. |

Well,......if you are looking for a venting, here it is, if not. IGNORE
The whole thing for me was self expression and a place to fucking relax and maybe, just maybe have some fun..... literally.
Who the fuck do you think some folks are to lie in judgement of a posting of a fucking opinion. God damnit, get into a discussion so we can all see your point of view....and then shit on it. To only lie in judgement as a dickhole, well that makes you a no value added parasite.
Dog damnit
What makes anything special beyond the fucking narrow world mind is a place outside of the day to day petty bullshit to enjoy some anonymity and some interaction at a hopefully adult level.
Vas, LK . Ninja, Clavis whatever. They gotta keep the lights on, cool, has to happen and lots of respect to the job from here.
Take the good with the bad. Jesus Fucking Christ, life is just that, choices. If it fucking hurts DONT FUCKIN DO IT, else agree to .
anyway, now the rant is over, I feel better.
If you have something to say, say it.
If not, listen... carefully
LS is a great place, don't fuck it up.

I hate that my bullshit trying to be funny reject reason for a shitty submission gets singled out while dozens of others slide by with, "meh" and, "I couldn't get the clicky to worky"
I hate that I still can't find a satisfactory textwar image in retaliation for GDR, itsa comin.
I hate how LK and his all caps , arrogance and self-righteous indignation at those who don't have 13,000009 fucking rad points scorns those who might be able to contribute, now or later.
Momad -yeah you're being too picky. good threads aren't easily derailed. The bizarre incongruity of random images can be some of the funniest shit here. Clavis posted one at some ranting newb, something like," I have no idea WTF, so here's a bunny with a pancake on its head." I really hate that such a simple device could actually bother someone, really I do.
I hate Ghost's taste in music, cool guy I think, but that 80s shit's gotta go bro.
I hate that I barely have time to read 20% of the stuff here anymore, much less comment and participate, and I'm sure y'all just hate that for me. School's the priority and I LOVE that shit.
Oh and lest I ever forgot the depths and breadth to which:
I HATE GEORGE BUSH

Jesus Fucking Christ! You assholes certainly know how to bitch.
Unfortunately, about 98% of the complaints I've seen so far are meaningless verbal flatuance.
Here's why.
1. Yes, we have run some "inside" jokes into the ground but they mostly were pretty funny and if done well might get another laugh in the future.
2. Yes, we have frightened away a lot of newbs but only the weak ones. Fuck 'em.
3. Yes, we have trashed some websites in the reviews that might have deserved a little better. What did they expect here. This is not Rainbow Brite Meets the Care Bears Dot Com.
4. Yes some of us have multiple personas ( I Don't) Who Cares? When I find out I usually think it's a pretty good joke.
5. Yes, some of us do post pics and comments that derail eachothers threads. If a thread is so weak that a pic of a fat chick or a dumb comment can derail it it deserves to die.
6. Yes, some people do spam. To me, spamming is when some cretin posts a link to a pay site or a site that tries to load your computer down with crudware in a place where it doesn't belong. If they want a review lets give them a review. If they submit it as a link it doesn't have to be accepted. If they put it any other place they need to get bitch slapped.
Other than #6 the only way to fix any of the things that I've heard complaints about would be to make a bunch of rules and have moderators enforce them.
Do any of you really want that?
I sure as shit don't.
Right now we have a sort of self moderating anarchy going on. We have very few rules and for the most part we don't seem to need any. LinkSwarm is one of the largest and most stable un moderated (or self moderated) communities on the internet and in a Darwinian sort of way it seems to be working.
There are some things that could use some change but the last thing we need is a bunch of rules about what we can say in our posts.
