Getting Rid of Image Discussion of Who Am I Gallery
I know I'm not the only one that feels this but there really is not much of a point in having Image Discussion for Who Am I Pictures. I've looked at the threads and it has just turned into guys and girls hitting on each other, dicussions that should be taking place in private messages or IM.
A person's contact information is usually available in a user's profile. |

I'll third that... and I recommend people also read the announcements and not tag pictures to posts.

I anti-second the motion. It is something different than just talking robots all day so I say keep it. It's a great way to learn about some of the other wonderful people in FIRST.

Its primary use, so far, has been discussion that should have taken place on AIM or in Tigerbolt, or email, or Private Messages. I gave an implied / subtle warning, which was acknowledged, but not remembered.
So.. the discussion links have been removed from the Who-Am-I gallery. |

I agree to a certain extent, as the who am i discussions cluttered up the recently posted on threads. But perhaps a forum could be devoted to them and just not show up on that sidebar or whatever it is, like chit chat posts.
And yes, people do hit on each other in them, and they probably shouldn't, but oh well. It could be considered off topic, I guess. What do you moderators/administrators think of making a forum for discussion of "who am i"? Or, for that matter, what does anyone else think of it? Oh well. I've used a lot of words and said almost nothing. It doesn't really matter, anyway. Oh well. Yay. edit\ wow, hot topic. When I first clicked post, there were no replies. Oh well. I'm just a programmer, what do I know. Oh well. end edit\ Last edited by Jeff_Rice : 23-02-2003 at 16:51. |

I agree...It really makes me mad when FIRST-related posts get pushed off the portal cause of people flirting.

since posts in the chit-chat forum don't count for post count anymore, I guess it's not that bad of an idea to not have any posts from that forum appear in the portal 'Latest Threads' section.

I just wanna apologize for all of this...people posting on other peoples pictures isn't to make other people mad...its to say hi get soemthing started...part of FIRST is meeting other people and making friendships that can last...I mean don't we all already have something in common? we just spent the past 6 weeks with our own teams growing and bonding and taking everyones ideas to make a robot that we best see fit for competition..that part is over to an extent...now its time to go out and meet all the other wonderful people in the FIRST world and get to know them...and just talk...that way when we get to competition you can go up and talk to that person or those people and it makes the whole experience that much more worth it..and as long as nothing bad is being said then it should be ok...or else why would there have ever been the chance to post on pictures? if the oppertunity is there then why wouldn't we all take the chance to talk to eachother...so if it is making people upset I do agree don't let it show up in the recent posts or recent threads...but this is still a good way to be able to talk to people if you want to...its not meant to hurt peoples feelings or to make people mad...so yes maybe it should be changed so it doesn't show up

While i feel that some of the things said in this thread are valid, others seem very shallow to me. I mean, how are some of the conversations in the picture threads different from anything in the FIRST classified type threads?? Those threads are made up entirely of people flirting. Its not that big of a deal to me that the who am i threads are closed, but i think that some of the discussons occuring on them did not merit the closing of the entire concept.

Other threads, as inane as they can become, usually involve more than four people.
Lately, the Who Am I image discuss threads have involved four people. You know who they are. If y'all want to get to know one another better, go for it. Please, save us some grief and do it in private. Some of the Chit-Chat posts interest me, and as such, I search for all new posts whenever I visit CD. A personal conversation among four people does not, and it's something that, in my mind, should best be kept private. I'm not against people being social. I just wish that things here on CD could be a little less cluttered, especially given that there are other venues that are far, far more conducive to that type of discussion. |

I feel the same way Melissa. If you want to comment a specific person, even make fun of them, please don't waste forum space and bandwidth by starting a discussion on their picture! Send them a PM or contact them by other means!
On another note... How YOU doin' Melissa?.....sorry, couldn't resist |

FIRST isn't just about Bots even though thats what some people think. Its also about experiences and meeting people. Many people get college connections and some even meet contacts that lead to internships and careers. I don't thinks its wrong to chat about stuff other than bots. Maybe someone should start a new forum category for random chats.

I'm back and forth
When I first notice that people coudl talk about my pic it was kinda a shock. But I thought it would be fun. Yes alot of the content in the thread could be covered in AIM or something else...but this was kinda a Chat room thing. I could talk with people that wanted to know me nad I coudl get ot know them. Which is what PM is for. But, at hte same time these people can get to know one another. Yes I haev started PM's and AIM with a few of the people...but it is so much easier to just write a post to them on MY thread. I talk to them on other threads but it is hard and time consuming to talk to all of them seperate....I thought this "Who am I?" thing was a great idea becuase then I can talk to a bunch of poeple at once....But i guess taking advantage of this great idea was a bad idea.....WHy? I really do not fully understand! People had posted that I should move my convo to an IM or PM....but they dident have to read it so why imput on it?
I guess if I'm so say sorry it is this...I'm sorry I'm a girl, Sorry I'm on first, Sorry I take time to tlak to other people in first about non Frist things...... |
