Flag Whores!

[mojo]

Bk was right it seems.

Looks like they want members to flag topics no matter what.

latest addition to profiles......"a flag meter". lol.

is that fucking funny or what. the bronze contributor, or gold or platinum has been relegated to member profile page, and a flag meter added under member avatars now.

[attachment=0:1fv42vrk]flagl20.png[/attachment:1fv42vrk]

so what will this create......members posting sensational rubbish to try and get lots of flags, you betcha!

and maybe the opportunity to collect data on the "flagging" habits of members...hmmmmmm.

[Cogburn]

[offsite:2mhg151f]But... those who create the noticeable content that drives the community forward deserve our special recognition, thanks, and honor. And most important, it matters not if you agree with their topics, politics, beliefs, or opinions... these are the members that inspire our thoughts and voluntary recognition through flags... we should all value their contributions and take pleasure in seeing a full-blue indicator.[/offsite:2mhg151f]


ahahahahahahahahaha.....

sure.....the threads that get more flags than any other are generally, imo, sensational bullshit. how the fuck does this system recognize outstanding contributions.
ive seen threads along the lines of "I am the archangel Michael" with shit loads of flags, and threads discussing in great detail and with outstanding references and research receive only a few flags.

what a load of crap Bill.

[Bitchkoma]

and we dont collect data on your smiting history (unless we're lying).

We don't, but the server does. And if I wanted to, I could probably grep the data out of the DB. But I can't think of a way to make money out of it yet, so I'm just gonna KIV that.

[Cogburn]

LOL I can see it now... gangs of folks "flagbombing" each other for a guaranteed 5, 10, or more flags on every post.

[pack3tg0st]

For a group of people who say they want to "deny ignorance", they sure spew forth conservative/republican talking points and rhetoric quite frequently...

[mojo]

it means unless you start lots of threads of a sensational nature with glib catchphrases you are worthless, even if your repliies to a particular thread initiate more discussion than the OP.

for someone who claims to be a "community" builder like Bill does this is a really strange thing to implement, the only reason for it can be financial, it certainly won't engender "community" spirit or consistent quality content.

[guinnessford]

Figured that, Mojo.

[offsite:2u789ctm]KrOnOs said: This new system, the flag contribution level, is stupid in my opinion.
We already had people that were star and flag whores before this was implemented, now its going to be even worse.
I dont understand what was wrong with the basic and simple post count and ATS point system.

Its really so easy to get a thread flagged. Create a thread, making outrageous claims, especially about UFO's or Aliens and youre guaranteed 50 flags.

I guess the admins are trying to encourage more contribution of new material, instead of just reading and replying to existing threads.[/offsite:2u789ctm]

with a bit of effort i reckon we can get flag whores submitted as an urban slang term referring to ATS.

But yah, same server... same IP range...

Hi Bill!

Why are you using a Mac? You seem like a linux guy to me...

[pack3tg0st]

For petes sake man... I'm not trying to sound condescending when I say this, but... is our corner of the internet really worth that much of your time?

Create a user name or something... open a dialog if you feel the need... This spy-by-lurking thing is pretty transparent man...

And you of all people know... Anything you would find extremely "interesting" about your business is safely tucked away someplace where spiders and lurkers can't get to them...

We've already figured out what you guys are all about, Bill... its no big deal...

I haven't been over there in a while...

did it move to profile or something?

Yes, only left the flag o meter and reg date on the posts.

[pack3tg0st]

wow...

so it is a complete swap to whoring yourself out...

Reptilian threads FTW!

sigh...

Propaganda Model anyone?

I think I will drop my usual sense and flag the worst threads. I help the losers win for a change.

[pack3tg0st]

[offsite:3gcoiphw]A Warning To All ATS Members

This is a warning for everyone who reads ATS.

The economy is not getting better. It is in fact getting worse.

The bond markets are showing the strain. If people do not buy the US bonds, the government can not fund itself. Please read this blog: 4 Horsemen of the Bond Market

I can say the next comment without worry I will be wrong at all. I know this to be true

The economy is going to crash. Starting the fall of 2009. The signs will be hard to see at first to the normal man or woman but it will start.

Do not look at the stock market for the signs. The stock market is not an indicator of how healthy our economy is anymore.

[offsite:3gcoiphw]The Anti-Christ and His New World Order Revealed

Prophecies of the Anti-Christ and his control of the NWO are not hard to discern or understand if the prophetic scriptures are studied properly. Both who he is and what nations he controls are well revealed if one is willing to take the Word of God literally when it is so rendered. The key is if you believe the God of the universe might have a handle on future events.

Most misunderstandings of the prophetic scriptures occur due to the intrinsic pride of modern scholars who either approach them as not much more than collections of verses of quaint Jewish poetic symbolism or vague references to events that need an understanding of a current prophetic teaching before they make any sense; the arrogant supposition being that God needs a man to reveal His Word when He states: Isaiah 48:3-5; “I have foretold the former things from the beginning; and they went out of My mouth; and I made them hear; I acted suddenly; and they came about. Because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow bronze. And I declared it to you from the beginning. Before it happened I revealed it to you; lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them.”

Where the Word becomes alive is in the heart that approaches it literally with an attitude that God is capable of explaining Himself; then goes out to do the scholarship to CORRECTLY understand what God has plainly said. Digging through new archeological data, the science of linguistic forensics, historical records of human migration and even studying the scriptures in their original languages brings a clear understanding of the prophetic passages devoid of the symbolic nonsense ascribed to them after casual review by critics who consider themselves biblical scholars on par with Adolf Deissmann; legends in their own minds, welding their opinions as if authoritative canon themselves.

A case in point is newly found historical references to the migration of whole peoples once thought to be little more than legends have now been confirmed through archeology, while others have been disproven. Updated historical information from archeology on the migration and settlement of Noah’s sons and grandsons has now been better documented to allow a clearer understanding of the nations end time biblical prophecies refer to, giving greater clarity to the geopolitical alliances the Bible describes; all of this allowing the origins, political power base and limits of Anti-Christ kingdom to be clearly understood.

Some of the descriptions, origins and characteristics of the Anti-Christ, or Beast:

1. The Antichrist; 1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 7.
2. The Assyrian; Isaiah 10:20-27; 30:18-33; 31:4-32; Micah 5:5.
3. The Little Horn; Daniel 7:8, 24; 8:9, 23.
4. A “King of fierce countenance”; Daniel 8:23
5. The “prince that shall come”; Daniel 9:26-27.
6. The “man of sin”; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.
7. The “son of perdition”; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.
8. The Beast; Revelations 11:7; 13:1-5, 12, 14-15, 17-18; 14:9, 11; 15:2; 16:2, 10, 13; 17:3, 7-8, 11-13, 16-17; 19:19-20; 20:4, 10.

While some in trying to understand prophecy have attempted to turn references of the Antichrist/Beast into a symbolic reference, into a ‘spirit’ inhabiting many people, or into a nation that spans the church era, these attempts break down with a correct application of the Hebrew or Koine Greek of the passages of scripture where the references are found. The use of the definite article ‘the’ with the present perfect masculine rendering in the Hebrew denotes a ‘title’ used as a proper name, NAMING A SINGULAR PERSON; the Koine Greek is even more exacting in that the “beast” IS a man, not a ‘thing’ or ‘place’ or a ‘period of time’ as would require the aorist tense, which is absent from the LXX and New testament passages where the references are mentioned; i.e.: THE man…, THE Assyrian, THE son…, A King…, THE prince…, THE beast.

Notice that in several places in the scriptures the Antichrist is given the title of the Assyrian; while this could denote the area of his origin, this would contradict numerous scriptures; one of those scriptures is Daniel 8:9. This scripture states that the ‘little horn’ “which waxed exceeding great” or gâdal yether (together used in size of area and direction of growth) ‘grow out, become exceedingly large in excess or superiority’ “towards” 'êl 'el ‘denoting motion towards’ “the south and toward” 'êl 'el ‘denoting motion towards’ “the east and toward the pleasant land.” In other words, the Antichrist comes from a land a great distance to the north and west of Israel; this could not be from the area of the old Assyrian Empire that surrounds with the main area directly north and east of Israel.

Growing archeological and linguistic forensic evidence is proving several supposed fables to be historically accurate; fables long ignored by academia due to the possible implications, but which can no longer be ignored due to the mounting evidence that substantiate them. This evidence shows that LONG before the supposed loss of the northern ten tribes, the Assyrians had crossed over the Caucasus mountains and became the feared ‘Caucasians’ that conquered the area that is now Germany; founding the ancient city of Trier, before crossing over the Alps and conquering the Italian tribes around what was yet to be Rome.

Who were these fierce blonde warriors who conquered all of Germania to Trier and Austria? Smith’s Classical Dictionary answers: “There can be no doubt that they [the Assyrians] … migrated into Europe from the Caucasus and the countries around the Black and Caspian seas” (”Germania,” p.-361). Indeed, Dr. Herman Hoeh adds, “When the ancient Greek writers wanted to distinguish the Assyrians from the Arameans or Syrians, the Greeks called the Assyrians ‘Leucosyri’—meaning ‘whites’ or ‘blonds,’ as distinct from the very brunette Syrians who still live in Mesopotamia.”

The Gesta Treverorum, long ignored as a historical source, records that Trabeta founded Trier; now substantiating this are some recently found inscriptions on cuneiform tablets of the Babylonian king Nabonidus, who reigned sixty years after the fall of Nineveh to Babylon, which speak of Trabeta, son of Ninus, King of Assyria, who “being the despised of the Queen Semiramis (his legendary step mother) took Royal Armies, Cavalry and Chariots in conquest over the distant northern mountains after the Great King’s death.” (His stepmother would have had him assassinated had he stayed.) He established Trier approximately 2000 BC. Indeed, the 17th-century Rotes Haus in Trier bears the Latin inscription: "Trier existed 1300 years before Rome. May it enjoy eternal peace."

“The Chatti were the chief people who settled in modern Germany. Their descendants are the HESSIANS today. In fact, the Old High German spelling of Hesse was Hatti. The land of Hatti was the WESTERN part of the Assyrian Empire. The ancient Assyrian Empire was divided just as the modern Germans were divided between East and West Germany and Austria. THE ANCIENT KINGS OF ASSYRIA called themselves Khatti-sars -- meaning the "Kaisers of Hatti," or "Kings of Hatti." The chief people of Hatti regarded themselves AS ASSYRIANS. The Assyrian kings wrote of the tribes of Hatti -- the ancestors of the Hessians: "AS ASSYRIANS I [ac]counted them" (D. D. Luckenbill, "Ancient Records of Assyria and Babylonia", Vol. II, § 29).[/offsite:3gcoiphw]

its the "flag meter thingy" driving this shit.
the more outlandish, ridiculous or controversial thread you start the more flags you get, the prettier the colour your flag meter turns and slowly the quality of threads will disappear replaced by this sort of rubbish.

#1 is true...

I did an analysis in layman's terms here on AMKON regarding that like a month ago... (they're stealing my chit mang!)

Yah, there's no explaination or anything lol

I'm trying to see if my thread is in here that I did... which contained actual explainations as to what was happening LOL

The gist is that the Long term treasury bond (10 yr) yields are going up and the price down... which means fewer people are buying...

But the short term bonds are going the opposite direction... which shows a lack of faith in the value of the dollar in ten years time... Thus, in a long convoluted fashion, would show a lack of faith in the dollar... Meaning the dollar will plummet while major countries ditch the dollar as a reserve currency...

Thus our money would be near worthless, and our gov couldn't borrow enough money...

FUCK I wish I could find that damn thread lol
