Still got time. You can only really send them 3 headlines of no more than 7 words, so you should be able to toss one off.

Excuse my ignorance, what is a spammer?
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, zooo said:
oakland was a spammer, before he got banned.
It means someone who bombards every thread with the same message, usually an advertisement for their own site.
Although why he thinks that makes a good advertisement, I don't know.

Yes and like life 98% of it is obscured by a staple.
And like life women can't read them.
And like like they can never be folded away quite right.
And like life they're a bit big and annoying, and you look it a tit reading one.

Why I expected this to be a thread about submissions to Tilt I have no idea.
Come on Mods, can you not use your powers to try and keep threads on topic rather than just keep moving them around.
PLEASE?
It's rather frustrating.
On Wednesday 31st December 1969 GMT at 7:00 PM GMT, Aaron said:
There's no rules about keeping threads on-topic. Almost the opposite in fact. If you want to talk about the original topic, then just go straight back to it.

I'm well aware of Chortle. It's a great place for stand-up info, but the forums are a horrible place full of vengeance seekers and poison brewers.
Actually, the very first week I started doing stand-up someone registered on their forums with my name and started slagging people off. Weird.
Sorry I didn't mean to be negative. I love the vibe here and there are some great people on the forums. Just a little frustrating. It'd be nice to be able to have a chat about who has sent stuff in to this show without having to wade through two and a half pages about the history of the word spam.
But then I suppose it wouldn't be the BSG forums would it.

Ideally I'd prefer threads to stay on track too - I know it is easier then for people who don't use the forums regularly to catch up. We did try enforcing the 'on topic' rule for a bit, but it stiffled the atmosphere and flow so I begrudgingly have over time accepted that people are going to start talking about their cats, orifices, evenings and other things within threads that are supposed to be dedicated to a topic.
As has been said above, if someone posts about the original topic again, things do often quickly get back on track, so yes, um... TILT:

EXACTLY - so it isn't the case right? It doesn't take much working out when u think of how long it will take to switch windows or log out of here and back in to realise exactly who it is > who posted a short while later?
Not rocket science especially when u consider the motives/other posts on this site.
Like this site but now convinced the 'bad egg' is from here!
- and getting back on topic .
Displayimg some ignorance here so please clue me from the beginning -
Tilt is what exactly cos nothing googling? A sitcom? An avenue and opportunity for new writers?
Sort of got the idea it is an opportunity to get some ideas published but still (maybe dumbly) in the dark.
Gi's a clue!

No, but if they got about a million submissions on Tuesday at 3pm and have to put a show together for rehearsals today, I'm guessing they're spending all their time doing that!
With Parsons & Naylor it was 'late deadline and listen' to see if your stuff was on. The communication was much later on. And, judging by our experiences on Play & Record, actual payment was much, much later on!

You don't usually get an email in my experience, you listen to the show and then get a contract or cheque through the post - a lot later.
