Big World, Small Minds

As the Internet expands and becomes more used worldwide, the things it is used for are becoming more petty and stupid along with many of the people using it.

YouTube Rant

I have just been on YouTube looking at the comments to a video (the Study of Stealth from the Dishonoured game, by the way). It has posed a question I have often thought of.

Was That Really Necessary?

This isn't Facebook Instagram or twitter, This is Opuss not a status updater.

This isn't Instagram. This ain't your twitter feed. Looking for a Facebook fix. Then this ain't what you need. Sure we like a quote or two, But millions. No thanks.

Copy Paste Send, Make This The End

Everything I post is from my own head, Most thought of from the confines of my bunk bed, But what annoys me, and others, no end, Are those who copy, paste, and then send. What is the point.

Social

This isn't Twitter. Keep your litter. This isn't Facebook. I don't give a fook. This isn't Bebo. That's for the ho. This isn't MySpace. Get off my case. So don't treat it like such.

Porno Opus

Some people on Opus don't seem to have much to do. They always appear to be on here with likes and reposts to accrue. Every time I'm go on there are all my favourites busy posting with aplomb.

@seamonster can you please inform me what the rules are for creating multiple accounts to like your 'own' work?

Omg!! How did you find that!! That's ridiculous!! πŸ˜‘πŸ‘Ώ

Been here before.. Really pathetic and a little sad .. All the multi accounts used to like the main one..

@Burrfoot Agree, I had been thinking the same. I'm surprised I didn't look earlier

@sammielee46 just look at a persons followers and see who they like. It's pretty obvious when a lot of followers have no Opusses of their own and only like/follow one person.

@Burrfoot yes and people have been banned for it, if I remember right?

She didn't even try to be sneaky about it!!

@chickgamer it's very sad.

@Irrational_Kimmi hah good thinking batman!! I've made myself sound so thick!! Doing that just ruins the whole point of opuss, I couldn't give a shit how many likes I get but people who like their own work with fake accounts are wrong. Cheating the system. And they will never feel a sense of achievement if they like their own bloody work! Sad sad sad!! πŸ‘ΏπŸ˜‘

@Irrational_Kimmi I don't think anyone has been banned for multiaccounting.. JAG or whatever her name was had other issues.. I've brought it up before and directly, (when i got suspended) but its allowed apparently...

@sammielee46 the whole like system is supposed to encourage us by letting us know that people read and like our work. When cheats it not only upsets genuine users but I think it ruins the credibility of the app as a place for budding authors. If things don't change I will consider taking my work elsewhere.

πŸ‘† That should be 'when cheats misuse it...'

@Burrfoot that's just wrong. Bah I'm losing faith in Opuss

Already did. It's a shame.

@Irrational_Kimmi I completely agree with you there, I've got 240ish followers she has 98, yet it makes me mad that all of her "quotes" have got more likes than I've ever had!! Not that I'm saying that I deserve that many but honestly at least I write my own words!! Most of those quotes probably come off Facebook!! Mind you I reckon we will get suspended before she does anyway!!

@Irrational_Kimmi multi accounts should IMO be banned, no need for them and opens up many types of abuse.. However the guys at Opuss have a very big job keeping up with an ever growing app, which is why I've suggested moderators before.. I wouldn't let it put you off though, just rage against the abusers πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

My keyboard went spaz, ignore my last two comments. Don't lose faith in Opuss simply because of a few account abusers - for they shall be punished!

@nmaelietta I don't think they will be though. I've probably got more chance of being banned for standing against this crap πŸ˜”

@sammielee46 I've got over 500 followers and it's rare I get an Opuss that many likes. However, I do get comments from my friends which means a lot more 😘 That makes me suspicious too - for many of these quote posts have a lot of likes and no comments - makes me think there may be more 'multiple account abuse' than we've realised.

@Burrfoot moderators would be an excellent idea - many online forums use this approach and whilst it's not ideal it does have a lot of benefits.

@Irrational_Kimmi I agree honey, I'm happy with whatever likes I get because I know that people have taken the time to read, comment, repost!! I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts along with a lot of other people's, just a shame people have to abuse the system to make themselves look more popular than they really are. 😘❀

@Irrational_Kimmi before it could happen it would be good to see rules or guidelines.. Apart from what has evolved within the community I don't know what is and isn't officially allowed.. It's gonna get worse but it gets better and with growing users it's time for published ground rules me thinks

@Burrfoot there are rules when you sign up...I wonder what they say?

@Burrfoot the terms are at http://www.opuss.com/terms/ but it would be useful to have a list of 'rules/etiquette' too

@Irrational_Kimmi was there? I can't remember much about them.. Will check the webpage

I have caught up a bit, it seem that she just want to be on top she can brags that hers is better, which is bullshit, I think she can be punished, IF we all got together and complains to the owner of this app, if nothing- then sadly I will miss you guys but don't let it stop you guys, we can always find another way, but it might takes time, for instance, petition to make rule that multi accounts shouldn't be allowed :)

I am not leaving tho, I'm not the type to be pushed down, fight fire with fire

@insomnium it just makes me think 'what's the point' but yeah, I'm not leaving yet. I hope things will turn around. I've emailed a few if my thoughts so I guess it's down to everyone else to do something now.

@Irrational_Kimmi I hope so, I'd love to read more of your inner thoughts :) beside this dang opuss been inspiring me nonstop, I just can't stop writing after I read some of others thoughts

By the way, this outrages inspired me to write one about those fakers

@Irrational_Kimmi There should be democracy in Opuss

I've been in Opuss long but never gave an effort but wrote my words time to time but seeing this is just truly saddening

A pity me post has been put up.. I went through her older posts, and where there was a few comments, they have been reduced! It would appear it wasn't just ashley1 etc that was part of her ring

@Burrfoot uh, bleeding teenage drama πŸ˜’
