I see it all the time. People get whiny about "spam" posts, which are just meme posts. There's an off topic tag for a reason. Teasers shouldn't be a problem. There is also a teaser tag for a reason. I make 5 teasers + 1 video trailer for a plane, because I like to show people how my plane goes, and show them my process, because it ain't secret. It shouldn't be an issue if people post teasers, and if they make meme posts. If you don't like it, you don't have to click. Most teasers are obvious by the title, so there shouldn't be any issues. Meme posts are also cool. The forums are a place for memes, teasers, help, and other scattered things. So I think that we shouldn't mind the forum posts.
This man spittin’ fax
I just noticed, in your teaser post titles, you add 1 new “.” per every build for example your 4th build teaser would be”a preview....” @frame
one teaser one plane makes my posts page look clean and OCD.
@KnightOfRen hmmm settle for 5.5
@THEDAD nice
@THEDAD
yes
@UltraLight
Two new forums on the entire page? Geez dude. Teasers are fine, just spread them out, and preferably only 1-2 for a plane. Although I partially agree, too many rickrolls in the forums. I think 8-9 new posts each day that are actually cool like a teaser, info post, etc is good.
sounds good. Glad I could help
@rexzion
drama free zone is gone
big sadd :(((((((((
@Noname918181 yeah i don't trust those
Ok
I'm only annoyed at teasers that say:
.
"Soo I make plane t for tag"
.
No pictures, no nothing, just a paragraph or sentence saying that they are making a plane.
@spefyjerbf in conclusion, I can agree with what you're saying. I can understand you want more quality teasers. Got ya.
@spefyjerbf Sure, I will admit I was spamming, because I was annoyed at James being hypocritical. But the post below that is an off topic meme post. It is simply introducing itself into the spotlight. If i'm honest, if it was a paragraph explaining itself, you'd put that in the interesting category.
@WiiWiiTheMini
lmao. most of the forums are DRAMA, not teasers. Also I agree
By interesting, I mean substantive. If a forum post consists of only two sentences, that hold very little meaning, then the post will most likely be seen as annoying/spammy. In this case, it is most useful to provide examples of posts that are substantive/interesting and nonsubstantive/annoying:
- Substantive/interesting
- Substantive/interesting
- Nonsubstantive/annoying
- Nonsubstantive/annoying
.
Once again, teasers are cool - just make sure that they are actually entertaining. If I was given an advert for a product that said "hey hey hey hey hey hey buy this buy this buy this buy this buy this buy this hey hey hey hey buy this", I would be significantly more annoyed than I would be for an advert of a product that had cool visuals, story, etc. Quality over quantity with teasers.
@spefyjerbf You say you want interesting forum posts, so clarify.
@spefyjerbf there are 2, yes 2 teasers on the entire hottest first page. there is literally hardly any teasers. I think the forums are perfectly fine, because there isn't a whole lot of spam. Most of the posts have to do with aviation or cars. that is literally normal. What do you want the forums to be?
I think that it is perfectly valid to be annoyed by spammy forum behavior. I'd rather see worthwhile discussion and actually interesting forum posts than low-effort spam cluttering the forums. I like teasers, but the teasers should actually have substance to them. Simply posting a single badly-taken screenshot of a plane and adding 'T to tag' is just a cynical way to point farm. If the teaser has information about the processes used to build the plane, or some nice graphic design, then it is actually a cool teaser.
.
I think the point here is that I'd actually like the forums to be interesting and fun, rather than a place for annoying and unfunny sh*tposts.
@WiiWiiTheMini
Ye, ik what you're talking about
@Strucker ye, I like to remain active in the forums, but I also use discord now as well. I don't think this should even have to be an issue, but a specific user hates the teasers.
Pfft, I only post multiple due to my ketamine schedule and stability of uploading
