private message bombardment
Zitat von maestro am 11 Dezember, 2006, 1306 UhrSince there are 230000 daily registrations, Myspace Tom gets approximately 150000 idiotic private messages a day.
This is not because i read it somewhere but because since the day i had the brilliant idea to greet every newbie with an automatic welcome PM my inbox fills with the 2/3rds of them writing replies. It doesnt come to their mind that in the approximately 0.01 seconds from their registration to checking their inbox i would never had the time to write a formal welcome message or even notice they registered.
Instead they bombard me with stupid ass questions like "So what can i do here" or "can you help me finding my friends on this site" and if that wouldn't be enough they keep sending replies after replies to the point i'm hovering over the kill button, wishing i could also simply eradicate their presence in the universe.Most notably only those reply that never ever do anything else on the site.
Every normal person knows it's a friendly meant automated message and treats it as such, going on with their business and probably popping a friendly "thanks" before proceeding to write interesting forum entries. Why can't everybody be that way, why do i have to indulge myself with discussions about why we waste one quarter of the website space with a navigation menu if i could also tell everyone personally where they find their friend from AOL who very wisely signed up under another nickname here
Do they reply to AOL's customer information with "Thanks Bill, hey, kan u show me around the intenet", too?
Of course they do :roll:

Zitat von maestro am 13 Dezember, 2006, 0330 UhrThat the game stuff is sent from gg is more of a bug than a feature
And history shows they're the kind of people trying to chat up automated channel bots named Elvira on IRC, too - so sending the letter from a remotely femalish account would only pile up more problems, automated or not.
You want forum entries like "GG, why u not answ me?!" ?

What have you written in the automated greeting?
Hope it has in big red letters :
This is a automated greeting .. please do not respond"

Zitat von maestro am 13 Dezember, 2006, 1201 UhrThat would defy the purpose of the message
And i actually thought people would kinda figure out by themselves it's automated, as they're automatically greeted everywhere
