"Cats away"? No. Just no. NVGR

OH GAWD! Too much spam!

Hmm, I think that everyone should stfu. Both sides are kind of right. Theres the people that say its worthless, and others say its harmless. They say the spam blogs push down better ones, and then the other sides defense it that it is the weekend, so why are they (the good blogs) being posted? Well, heres the thing. Some people have, I dunno, jobs? They can't post mon-fri, so they have to do weekends. And we shouldn't have to hide our blogs that we took a good 2hrs to research and write and repost them just so drunks and idiots can have some fun.



If you don't want to contribute something good, don't, but don't be a dick and spam. Get a life, because some people with lives only have spare time on Saturdays, if even then, and good for them that they contribute to D-toid when their lives slow down for a day. I mean, come on. If you work hard all week, take an hour or two to write something great, that you think everyone would enjoy, post it, but NO ONE gets to read it because of a series of animals having sex with inanimate things, wouldn't you get pissed off?

I've been busy all week, and I infact did write a fairly lengthy blog late last night (My blog that took forever to write because of computer issues, but only a handful of people saw because of the spam). Its not my fault I have things to do in the week, and can't post as often during the work week. Hell, the blog may not be that great, some people could like it, agree with it, give me the thumbs up for it. While others might insult it, argue with it, and write a blog countering it. But thats a GOOD thing. If they hate it enough to throw a good, constructive blog onto the site, opposing my views, then at least its better then spam. I would rather have people post blogs insulting my opinions, then having worthless, content void post. Think about it. Not to be an asshole and ruin the fun, but it gets old.

You say to hide the good blogs and repost? No. I say YOU hide the worthless blogs and never repost them.
You say people shouldn't post things on Saturday nights, that no one will notice? I say some people have busy lives so get over the time the blog was posted.



Your probably gonna post some MEME or FAIL images in the comments to this, or maybe ignore this blog completely, but hey, idc. It doesn't hurt me if the people on a website disagree. I just thought I would post a blog with actual meaning, not some youtube video that I didn't even make. Go on, if you hate this enough then blog about why I'm wrong. At least thats better use of your time then a god damned video of an animal making love to an inanimate object.

So yeah, the drunks are kind of right, in the sense that less people will see good blogs if posted on Saturday night, but hey, less is better then none. If you keep posting like idiots, who knows, you could force all the intelligent people out of Destructoid, and you may eventually destroy everything good about this site. I know I haven't been here long, but I hope I can be here for awhile. And I don't want to have to leave because the blog page is covered in spam, and theres nothing to read.



So before you follow the trend, before you post a blog showing us all how worthless and unorginal you really are, stop. Think: "What can I do thats more constructive for the good of this blog?". Hopefully you'll be smart enough NOT to respond to yourself with "Dog humps something, perfect."




HULK MAD! SMASH SPAM!

I recently tried some mustard spam, as part of market researching some unreleased products.

The label looked like it had been photo edited in MS paint. It tasted abhorrent.

*sigh*

Sorry for calling you this, but by Dtoid standard, you are still a newbie, with only 37 comments to your name and a blog history that only goes back a couple of months, this is probably your first experience of the, rather awesome, impact memes have on Dtiod.


First of all, this, by an unimaginable amount, is the best community on the net, and quite a close one as well. Due to this, members form jokes and memes through contact with each other, and usually these memes spill over into the cblogs, for better or for worse.

Being a member for more than a year(read the site longer) memes are a part of this site, I discovered that the site, and the community, have an excellent sense of humour, even if it is lost on other members sometimes.

This will pass, probably in a couple of hours, sorry but that's the way things are, this is just one reason why I love this site dearly. :)

Also, that bit about you feeling somewhat bitter about your blog being pushed down, sadly, gives the impression that you made this blog simply due to your dissatisfaction of the current state of the cblogs, IMHO. :)

Surely, simply republishing your blog tomorrow will take a matter of minutes. I know you stated you are a busy person, but, for anyone, republishing a blog is a very simple task that does not eat away at your time.

Hope this comment helps you understand the site a little better. :)

Mushman, it has nothing to do with how long a person is here, he's still entitled to his opinion. Though I agree about republishing.

Don't judge a guy by his comment count!

Hence the sigh at the beginning, I feel such a elitist prick about the whole 'newbie' thing, but I could'nt find another way to expess what I was trying to say.

Oh, and of course he is entitled to his opinion, it what the community is known for!! :)

 about me

Im a simple person. Blast a Zombie here, solve a puzzle there, you know, the usual. Ive been told Im smart, but I disagree to that. What I do know is I love a challenge, and I love a puzzle. So of course I love RE. Ive been playing Resident Evil for years, and Ive played every game made so far. I play many Zombie related games (L4D, RE, HotD, etc), but thats not all. I also enjoy anime, some manga (not too often), books, movies, and social interaction ("GASP! He goes outside!"). I spend a lot of times with friends, so If it takes me awhile between post thats most likely why.
Im big into the Horror Genre, so I'll most likely post about that at some point in time. Ive been reading this site for awhile, but finally made an account the other day, and now Ive come up with some things to say (Ha, that rhymes. Day/Say). Im full of ideas to post. Thats all for now =D.
