Quote from: Olimar12345 on January 04, 2014, 03:07:35 PMRequests aren't spam. No more further discussion is to take place here. Create a topic in the feedback board if you guys want to continue talking about this, but the next post in this thread better not be anything but someone accepting the request.
Okay, so if requests aren't spam, then what
is considered spam? If someone could please provide a consistent definition of what spam actually is according to the site, then maybe we can get this whole requesting thing sorted out. We need to reach some sort of compromise to prevent further incidents in the forums, imo.

Requests in a request board makes sense to me. What don't you get? :P

Do you seriously want me to show you?
"bulk messages" is a key term in all of the definitions I've seen so far.

I agree.
I think you guys are just being fools and disrespectful!
...but they're not irrelevant or out of place. Just because there are a lot of them doesn't mean they are spam. :P
Ninjad twice.
I've been accused of spam before (I know crazy right?) and it's not just multiple messages. It can also be messages in the wrong spot, so before posting make sure
A) that it hasn't been asked/posted before
B) that this is the best possible spot for it
IMO that's probably how to make sure it's not spam.
ninja'd and now Olimar pretty much told what I said in one sentence >.<
Considering how backed up we are on requests, I think a "one request every two weeks" limit would be a good idea.
39 pages. That's a lot of requests, you know?

I totally disagree
The point of this site is piano sheet music and arranging and fufilling peoples requests!! NOT gabbing of in the off-topic crap like you do!
At ease, soldier! No need to get worked up. :P
way to completely miss the point mlf
Also, "Bad Apple!!" and all of the other touhou songs that I've arranged would like to have a word with you. ;P
Well....I just get so mad at them, because all they do (not all..Im just making a point) is blab aroung on the ''talking'' threads when what they should be doing is arranging and fufilling peopls requests.
Please read my edit.

Ok. You have been here...what...4 years longer than me??
And I have 3 times as many songs as you
Yes, because the quantity of songs you have is equal to your quality as a member.
:(
But it's still more than most of the other people that come on the forums. :)
Exactly what yugi said.

I hate both of you. I have enough trouble arranging and I feel like Im not getting any better as it is :( then I get this remark from you?? :'(
See you later
Mlf, it is improtant to note that we are not a sheet factory(quoting someone on this but gaaah I can't find the post! >< ) We are a community of people who have come together from all over the world with a common interest.
And let's not start up the whole "glory-hogging" ritual of having arrangements hosted in the site again. If you're arranging here only for the supposed "fame" then you clearly aren't in the right mindset.
Damnit. I try to write a reply and I get ninjad like 40 times.
Mlf, no single member here is better than another. Except for maybe maestro.

I dont give a crap about fame at all. And I totally agree with you :) I was just trying to make a point.

If you were trying to hurt my feelings and put me down as an arranger. Then I think you succeeded :'(

Oy, I never said you were bad. I'm just saying in comparison to other people like Drp(no offense if you're reading this lol) or someone who doesn't do any arranging at all.
The argument you were using just wasn't very sound, that's all yugi was saying.

Well...thanks for...trying to make me feel better..but Im still upset
Sorry...
Why do i feel this should be the other way around? =/

::)
Im also sorry :)
I was just really angry because I have been having a lot of trouble arranging recently. And I didnt need it from anyone else.
I am at a war with myself: Should I keep arranging or quit.
Keep going! We need people. :P
You're a good kid. I like you.
Well, Ill need help.
Could someone look over my newest arrangment (Fort Francis [Its on my page])?
This has gotten really off topic.

Dr. P has arranged a crapton of songs. Go look at the Pokemon section.
The more I read about it, it's just a difficult issue. MarioLegoFan and Olimar aren't wrong. I'd like to apologize for sparking this debate. Obviously the request board is for requests, it's just that I think more common sense needs to be applied. I don't want to impose limits on requests or anything, it's just that you have to admit what's going on is ridiculous.
This is getting ridiculous. You guys know what spam is, and it's not his requests. It'd be a different issue if he was constantly posting in some thee thread, but how much is he really bothering you by requesting songs? I feel like everyone on nsm is getting more and more hostile lately and I don't like it.

Who are you to say we're getting hostile!?!?! I'm not hostile! Don't you dare suggest that I'm hostile! If anybody calls me hostile, I'll beat them up!!I can understand why people are getting frustrated over the requesting issue; I think it
almost crosses the line into spam, unless you don't consider posting dozens of topics in a rather short time period spam.
It sound like you do think it's spam. Since the beginning of August, he has created 17 request topics. 17 requests in 5 months is certainly above the norm, but not close to spamming

looking at the dates of some of the request topics, a good number of them have been in the last month, some of them merely days apart. if that's not spam i don't know what is, especially since he doesn't even really wait for a response until posting another one.

What i meant: Well excuse me for not caring who makes what and trying to think of someone who hasn't made an arrangment.
Gosh guys.
You would think this is a theblackgiantdoghead thread
This is considered spam. Not a single member in the future is ever going to look at this thread and learn what spam is. Aside from in a kind of ionic accidental way.
Locked. Probably permanently. This thread needs to be started over if it's to be taken seriously.
