Just wanna give a thanks to aka and sin, who've been a great help with this thread, and the stamps thread in general. Thanks a lot guys!
No problem man; thank YOU (and Lacey) for putting up with the bullshit and keeping most of your sanity intact
And SinCityBags, if your recovery continues and is ongoing, best of luck to you in everything. If you need to stay clear of any dope references online, that should be your priority, but if you can manage to quit and still read about it like Lacey (which is rare I'd have to say), we really hope you stick around to help keep us in shape.
My thoughts exactly, but yes, we'll talk it over and report back to you folk about it.
That's the main reason I was considering/suggesting a trial-basis. It doesn't really address the root of the misconduct. Maybe it'd make things a little more organized but it seems like more work for the mods, and even also more work for the review-seekers. Just putting the city name as the very first words in the post would probably suffice just fine.
The multi-city thread as it is isn't all that MASSIVE. As far as city-specific threads, I just don't know...Hell, I'd like a Camden-only review thread, but the number of people rating Camden stamps could be counted on fingers, so I realize it's just not practical. I mean, you'd effectively need a thread for: NYC, North Jersey, South Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and all the places in between. MAYBE a thread for each state with the city name as the first words of the post would be more practical but I'm still not really feeling it from a logistical standpoint. What if one dude comes up who happened to cop something in Connecticut and wants to rate it? Who knows where it originated first of all, and second are we gonna give ONE GUY his own thread?
Having several city threads may not be very practical either, but it's an interesting concept. How it pans out remains to be seen, and is of course ultimately up to you guys.
But the very existence of ONE review thread is up to
us as readers/contributors. I know more people than this post in there and probably double that lurk around. If you're reading this and haven't posted in this thread yet, please do so and share your thoughts while confirming your cooperation with the rules, as that's the purpose of this thread and everyone dropping in here may help us get the thread back more quickly. But having it stick around is an effort that must continue indefinitely.
Just saying "yeah sure I agree, let's get back to it plz" , and then following the mandate for a couple posts and getting right back into the same ol' bullshit is such a junkie thing to do. IE, do whatever it takes to get something, and lie thru your teeth to get it. We've seen that that type of thing just can't fly around here. It's not hard or too much to ask, and I know we can all do it
