I'm really having doubts about the "everyone gets their chance" news spot feature. True, it may be really useful for some, but I'm thinking of the attention-whoring common user that will write random posts, hoping to, like said earlier, grab attention. So, yeah...
Please don't point out the fact that I'm using the system I'm putting in doubt or that I'm also an attention whore (I know damn well I am).
Also, cock!
The idea itself is not perfect. However, not using this feature would be a shame. With the good, you must take the bad as well.
I'm going to use it to give muh cartoons more attention.
My cartoons are the attention whores >:C
One front page post per week though, so it's no big deal. I'm sure if it gets out of hand, the admins can remove their privileges.
What everyone has forgotten is that this "feature" is only available (and only viable) for those who meet certain criteria.... In short, the topic starter may not be able to post in a while, thus busting his chances for blowing short with this.
Thank you for clearing that up, liljim.
Cock indeed.
Well there are some arseholes who will post some crap that is just plain spamming, In fact I just read one that was just cruelly dissing you tube for no reason. But, at least you can only post one on the front page per week.
I tried to get my production public, and it was bumped off the page by a load of spamming n00bs. Maybe adminiter some rule about serious stuff, because i wasted my weeks worth of posts for 5 minutes of no attention about something serious...
I think it's a good idea.
It's a good place to write shit no one really wants to read that would probably get deleted in the forums. Basically something to do when you get bored.
Well, there is a reason why it would be deleted in the forums. Think about it!
No kind of Whoring like "Attention-Whoring"

Yes yes it's horrible as far as looking at it from a myspace point of view, and that attention whores might use it. But over all, you can get your productions out into the public, such as your movies, or music, or video games etc. And you can also post stuff here when yo uare banned from the bbs. ;)
