Seriously Ellis, enough with the friggin' spam. You're just going to piss people off, and discourage them from supporting your work.

Subject: my apologies

the only reason i posted it AGAIN was because it was taken off of the boards the first time i posted it. my apologies once again and i hope you can make it to my show. have a lovely day.

emily

Okay, I've fucking had it. I just removed all the spam a second time. I really don't have time to deal with this. If people have questions about how and where to post things, they can ask. I really don't see why people don't get the hint when their spam is deleted. Is netiquette a lost cause? Please feel free to boycott ellis g. I know I will be. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Hi Ellis,

The problem is that there is a very clearly-designated forum (the classifieds) for event announcements like this, and the regulars here don't like it when someone posts the same message on every forum -- they consider it to be spam and, as you probably now can tell, it really irritates people.

Had you just posted once in the classifieds forum this wouldn't have happened. By posting the same message in every forum, and then by not taking the hint when they were removed by board moderators, you've managed to alienate some of your potential audience.

I actually think the show sounds really interesting, and wish you luck with it. But you might want to try to get some sense of what the conventions and requirements are on any message forum you try to use for publicizing your stuff in the future before jumping in, to avoid this kind of thing in the future.

Subject: i said i was sorry!

i said i was sorry! (especially to emily, she seems ticked off.) my apologies emily, i promise i will never do that again.

anonymous

Subject: oh and by the way

there truly is NO NEED AT ALL WHATSOEVER to boycott me. thank you very much, carry on, and have a beautiful day.

emily

Okay, I've had some caffeine and am in the process of chilling out. :oops: Sorry, but you are the second person to do that in two days.

Re: your question in another thread about having boards for CG and Cobble Hill, Andy started a board for Boerum Hill at somebody's request, so you never know, he might just do it.

Subject: cobble hill and carroll gardens

well emily, lets just hope that he does! i strongly believe that a message board for the cobble hill/carroll gardens area would be beneficial to everyone living in the neighborhood. we can post stuff about anything and everything. then i would be mad about spam. my how the tables can potentially turn! lets make the cobble hill/carroll gardens boards a reality asap!

carnivore

Maybe he can just expand the Boerum Hill board to a BOCOCA board. :P

anonymous

Subject: carnivore is right

yes indeed. i also think that the boerum hill message board should be changed to the bococa message board. good thinking.

anonymous

dear ellis g.

please shut up already you arrogant self-promoting toy. this board is not for you and you alone. the publicity you have gotten is way beyond anything you've actually done.

i've seen your works on the streets of brooklyn and was intrgued when i first saw it. but then i read the press you got and even saw your little entourage follow you around like a little sheep. and started to wonder. now i see this and my decision is clear. you're a self-centered jerk. and that's even compared to other street are ego heads.

it's enough already g. just get over yourself. i'm happy you have a show, but the idea that you're coming to a small community based site and telling people what to do and showing no respect for the owners is pathetic. why should they expand the board to the carroll gardens area? nobody reads or posts to the boerum hill area compared to other places.

please shut up already. you get enough press and we all know where you are and who you are. if you have some real ego issues toss the chalk and go to a therapist. you're played out because you whine like a a park slope baby in a 200$ stroller.

Subject: can we change the name of the topic of this post please?

seriously, getting boycotted is the last thing i want happening to me. thank you very much.

That was supposed to be a joke (note the "razz" emoticon at the end).

yeah, lets just change it becuase one arrogant jerk who is self-promoting a show says so.

leave b. hill alone. want a venue to promote? make your own stupid sit and add a bbs to it.

if there was a real demand for a bococa board, they would be asking for it long before you came around ellis. but the fact is there isn't because this is a mainly a prospect heights-slope board.

get that through your head.

emily

Unfortunately, the "razz" icon just looks like a particularly cheerful smiley face. This one seems a little clearer to me: :idea: ( )

I think BoCoCa is a stupid term, but it's not a bad idea to have it include those areas. Might perk that board up a bit.

As for the anon guest, you know, no name-calling and all that. I'm glad you care so much about the board but it doesn't seem like you've posted before...?

Please kill this thread! The confusion was cleared up early on, and nothing good can come of what follows.

And Ellis, for the love of god, don't do the all-caps thing. If you think spamming makes people angry...

i agree, please kill this thread.

Okay, it seems to be unanimous. But if anyone attempts to start a new one about the same thing, I'll get really mad. You won't like me when I'm mad.
