[quote=dondon]what can we do about this?[/quote] Hard Question. hahah. Because. Even if you tell them to stop doin it. They we're still doin it, Confessions addict Here's my idea. To all members who are confessing on that thread everyday, time by time, lol . If you have a lots of confession , Could you please. Just compile your confession in one post?. Its so annoying seeing others confessing like this.. [quote][b]dondon : i confess blah blah [/b] tunie : i confess, blah blah [b]dondon: i confess blah blah blah again.. [/b] harvii: i confess blah blah blah . [b]dondon: i confess blah blah blah again, [/b][/quote] Over and over again. (crap) Just Edit your 1st confession if you have another so you called "confession" . Could you please. Compile it. Find the meaning of [b]COMPILE[/b] in the dictionary. lol . Another One, Please don't make it as chat box. lol. We have Chatbox here. We have also the PM function, And if your confession is not a confession anymore, its a diary. lol. Just go to the diary thread. Instead of posting your diary in the confession thread. Confession and Diary don't have the same meaning right?. What do you think?. [hr][hr][hr] Anyways, Glad that someone noticed it too. I hope others will notice it too.

First of all, most of us are [b]guilty[/b] from being irrelevant on the topic Confession Thread. But it's taking too long before someone do something about it. Seeing that topic like a diary thread is really annoying. People post their everyday thoughts and non-sense messages/replies can not be considered as confessions, right? About the excessive spoilers, what are the use of those? Same with the crush thread, I saw a member use lots of spoilers but he didn't even follow the crush thread's main purpose. I'd like to see if anyone disagree to my decision of closing the confession thread. I'll be happy to elaborate what we've discussed here.

I think closing the confession thread is not a good idea. The reason is shallow, kinda sounds like: [align=center]It's existence is abused, we must get rid of it.[/align] Some people just post random stuff like: [align=center]I'm eating something.[/align] [hr][hr] But seriously, I like the idea of closing it unless people start to post [b]real[/b] confessions.

[quote=Deviantangel]The reason is shallow, kinda sounds like: It's existence is abused, we must get rid of it.[/quote] Shallow? Is that what you think? Please elaborate your statement. The confession thread is close for the meantime to make the members realized that the topic is being abused. People tend to treat the topic as their diary.

Well, technically, a confession (also known as a confession of faith) is NOT necessarily something that you are "guilty" of, as stated by a previous poster. [quote]con⋅fes⋅sion    /kənˈfɛʃən/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [kuhn-fesh-uhn] Show IPA Pronunciation –noun 1. acknowledgment; avowal; admission: a confession of incompetence. 2. acknowledgment or disclosure of sin or sinfulness, esp. to a priest to obtain absolution. 3. something that is confessed. 4. a formal, usually written, acknowledgment of guilt by a person accused of a crime. [u][b]5. Also called confession of faith. a formal profession of belief and acceptance of doctrines, as before being admitted to church membership.[/b][/u] 6. the tomb of a martyr or confessor or the altar or shrine connected with it. Credits: [url]www.dictionary.com[/url][/quote] I'm glad to see that a couple of people in this thread have admitted and realize that [b]most of us[/b] have been guilty of posting a nonsense, off-topic, non-confession in the confession thread, [i]including myself[/i], because [i]most of us[/i] who have posted on this suggestion are guilty of it as well. Thanks to those who admit it instead of just pointing blame on others. Yes, I have been guilty of this, especially recently, and I apologize for it. Sorry for that. I don't think the essence of the thread was vaguely lost, on the contrary, I think it has been [i]definitively[/i] lost since "vaguely lost" would imply that it's not so clear to see when, in fact, it's quite certain (and easily seen) that most of the posts there do not adhere to the idea of a "confession". And I think it's okay to name names. I will, if others do. As far as closing the thread permanently or not. It doesn't matter to me, and I'm sure the Mods will do as they see fit. I think a lot of people will miss the thread, so maybe locking it for a long period of time will make them realize the idea and basis of the thread and they will, after not being able to confess there for a long period of time, will take more care in making their confessions adhere to the idea of a confession.

[quote=eehjhay]Anyway I'm getting tired of explaining about this. If anyone request to open the thread, then we'll think about it then.[/quote] Since lot of opinions, explanations and observations from different sides have been shared and discussed, I think that the thread can be re-opened once again, this time, guided by the ideas mentioned. We need the cooperation from all members who are concerned about the "cleanliness" and "orderliness" of the boards. Count me in for this. [b]@TS:[/b] thanks for opening up this subject, and we hope that the "new" UG Confession will really serve as it was intended to be.. (if re-opening will be granted...) Thanks and kind regards.

[b]i suggest that thread to be closed.,aha~ no fuss. warnings aren't effective method from keeping the people to post a real confession. sir eehjay gave a warning last saturday to post a real confession.,and still members did not listened., that's why he closed it., I agree with the other suggestion here of Nikki.borrate.creating a blog or something.,where you can rant and rave. [/b] [b]just an opinion.[/b]

Better close this then since almost everyone agree. The amount of useless threads are increasing and those spammers would just spoil other good topics to be discussed on. OT: I really hate seeing people posting on threads especially at Layouts section saying all thanks when they can also give constructive comments.

[b]Confession Thread [/b]is my favorite Thread. But most members Totally spam there alot. [including me] So I Think It`s their [including me] fault why Confessiond thread has closed. erhmmm. I wanna kill myself. X3. . So for me, Just keep it closed. . [Even if I don`t want to]

I disagree for the closure of the confession thread totally. Didn't you notice guys, FriendsterTalk became boring this past few days, Because many members love that thread. If they we're not posting.. Then they we're just reading some of the posts. For them, Confession thread its like where they can express their feelings. Why not change the subject to a "[b]Express your Feelings[/b]" something like that. Since most of the posters there express their feelings not a confession anymore. And no more criticism that most of the members do not post their confession instead. Maybe we can help our Moderators on maintaining that thread to be organized as well. By the help of my suggestions above. Can we just give it another Chance. This time let's help our Moderators. Well I'm saying this for the sake of those members who are afraid to post their opinion here., Because I know They don't like that thread to be close forever. Just like the opinion of charm. I know some of members here have the same opinion as charm. [quote=Kua Jie]We need the cooperation from all members who are concerned about the "cleanliness" and "orderliness" of the boards. Count me in for this.[/quote] Kua Jie is right. Count me in also. Simply reporting some violators is not hard to do. Right?.
