WHAT THE -?

Rant killijoy - Monday, December 3, 2007 - 15:22

When did MP turn into an alternate Myspace and general messaging board for ads??? I turn my back for a week, and look at what I find. Where did the sudden influx of stupidity come from??? I'm all for making friends, or a strong book review, but c'mon people! What happened to MP being a good ol'fashioned get-together about comics and Japanaculture??? At least my safe haven online for my comicking obsession!

YOU'RE TEARING ME APPPPAAAARRRT!

WaterFaerie; Monday, December 3, 2007 - 15:32

I noticed how it was getting like that.

*pulls a mysteriously jousting stick from no where*

*jumps on an equally mysterious horse clad in black*

TO JAPANACULTURE
TO COMICS
TO MANGA
AWAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, could not help it.

So my advice to you is just to be a sweet pickle and everything will turn out for you in life - everything.

I could, Joey, but everyone

I could, Joey, but everyone knows that any intelligence from this sector is probably not worth it.

Bananas, and things.

Reiko Kitsune; Tuesday, December 4, 2007 - 22:37

I think that that would be an improvement from where the more recent posts are going.

If one more person advertises downloaded manga and supports ripping off the artists, I'll have to use my internet ninja skillz combined with my hordes of flying cyber monkeze to make it stop.

Bill Gates is cool

And IBM (was it IBM? I think it was) is stupid, the contract had nothing in it about publishing DOS under a different name.

Spamming is something that

Joamette Gil; Saturday, December 8, 2007 - 00:14

Spamming is something that happens everywhere from time to time, guys. You'll notice that those last threads disappeared because the last outbreak has already been taken care of. Rachel will take care of these new pieces of spam just as the last.

I'm always keeping an eye out for that sort of thing in order to let Rachel know about it. If you want a way to formally complain about it, send me a PM. Either way, I always get on it.

Also there's an add for mail order brides on the right

Plant; Sunday, December 9, 2007 - 08:20

Is there any way you could get rid of the ads like that?

Not really. Those ads are

Joamette Gil; Monday, December 10, 2007 - 04:30

Not really. Those ads are there intentionally. They help pay for MangaPunk.com. The thing with Google ads is that the content is controlled by the keywords found within the page their on.

I know that

Plant; Monday, December 10, 2007 - 06:53

But I figure you (the owner of the site, not you as such) must be able to how do you say... moderate(?) the content of the adds?

Plant; Monday, December 10, 2007 - 16:17

Are the profiles that were used to post the ads being deleted?

As far as I am aware, the content of Google ads is controlled by the Google engine, which shows results based on given keywords (just like when you're researching something on the search engine). I doubt Rachel (or anyone with Google ads) has much power over the content, if any.

As for our lovely spammers, who join this site for the sole purpose of polluting our forums, all of their garbage can be tossed out as soon as Rachel is made aware of it. I think it goes without saying that all spammers have their accounts deleted.

However, I honestly don't know if our system enables Rachel to do IP banning (which means the computer used to do the spamming can no longer be used to create a MP account); so it may be possible for a banned individual to simply sign-up again and begin his/her treachery anew.

For specifics on any of that (or to hear what the horse itself has to say), I suggest e-mailing Rachel herself and asking her (crowhen at yahoo dot com).
