Lists of women, surely getting a bit silly?

There seems to have been a massive influx of lists about beautiful women. They were OK at first, but surely now we're getting a bit too silly?! Girls with hats, girls with dogs, girls with motorbikes. I don't think I've seen a good list about films, TV, Music or books on the front page in ages. The entire front page atm is taken up with women posing in various manners. I hope this is only a phase. I'm going to try to get some more film etc lists out to combat this surge, I urge you to do so to.

I mean where to we stop?
Girls with feet ?
Girls with toes ?
Girls with toe nails ?
Girls with ankles ?
Girls with heels ?

As far as I know, there isn't a policy for lists. And, well, the name of the site is LISTal, isn't it? Just because some kind of lists isn't interesting for you, it doesn't mean it's not for other people. You just don't need to vote for it.

And if the big problem is the promotion to the front page, increase the number of votes for the promotion. 2 really is a low number for a promotion. Make it 5 or whatever.

Ha ha, I love the way every comment I make gets completely rail roaded. I'm only trying to get more people to make different types of list, you'd think I was Hitler.

There have been a lot of these recently and it would be nice to see more variety, I am thinking of raising the minimum number of votes.

Nope, I didn't. But I guess that was already some kind of talk around here about "useless" lists and it's been said that people are free to make it. I just don't think it's fair you coming in the groups and saying it. I don't think it's going to increase anyone's creativity to make some "smarter" lists or whatever (:

But I really think it would be better to increase the number of votes. 2 people interested in some list/review most of the times isn't what is interesting to more and more people.

By the way some "smart" lists with movies and stuff aren't THAT good. The subject doens't make it better, it's the way you do.
And well, I'm sorry but if there isn't variety maybe some other people (like the complainers) should make it change. (;

And I agree with the number of votes thing.

Just don't vote for them... that's what I do.

They could also stop making ALL their lists Public.

Some of my detailed lists could use some extra votes!

I'm all for lists of all sorts, even glasses and hats, but it all comes down to this --- everything in moderation, please. Notice I made a list about angel eyes - actors with nice eyes. The list was a hit, got lots of votes, and looks great. But if I made a dozen other lists about nice noses, hunky biceps, big tits, long hair, short hair, no hair, mustaches, goatees, eyebrows and fingernails all in the same week, everyone would be a bit hostile to me. (well, maybe not with a big tits list)

So its real simple. If you flood the boards with too many similar lists, you may alienate people and get less votes in the end. Sure, your buddies will throw u a few votes, but your list will never grow past 4 or 5 votes. If you want to push into the 20+ realm, then please don't flood the site with a dozen lists each week.

And to everyone else - its real simple - if it annoys you, then dont vote for it. If it really annoys you, then make better lists yourself or vote up other good lists.

If you're just gonna vote for stuff to spite people, then you aren't going to be very partciular with what you're promoting. I'm a bit wound up by it but I'm not gonna vote for just ANYTHING to topple them. Otherwise my votes become standard instead of recognising effort.

I'm sure it all boils down to one thing really. All we need to know is when this fabled Big Tits list is gonna be made and where do I sign to give the creator the Medal of Honour.

*cough cough* (by popular demand)

So we all agree, look for other types of decent lists to vote for and make some new ones yourselves (myself included). Smooth as the senate.

Well, I think we should not vote for those lists, or vote in list that is really interesting.

This site should has some way to people vote aginst thing, like a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down"

totally agree with the thumbs up or down idea!

I totally disagree.

I think the recent celebrity ones are more about looking at good photography as much as the celebrities I like a lot of them but agree having 10 on the front page is a bit too much.

One possibility is that some of the could be moved to the images section.

Actually, even tough me and my "brazilian buddys" know each other, we don't go and say "oh, hey, here's a new list out!" but, most of the time, we all follow each other in the website. At least for me, I always go and look ALL the updated from ALL the people I follow and vote for whatever that I like. But I don't go in the "global feed", so, usually, what I vote for is whatever if on my following feed or in the first page. We're not showing each other, but, by a listal tool that is REALLY useful, we just know about the other.

And, yeah, besides all the fun we have looking trough thousand of pictures in the website (hey, we also get to know cool pictures and vote for them!), we use this images later, in graphic designs or something like that. We make it public because we KNOW someone else can be interested in the list. It's not because I've got no interesting for Prelude's Big Tits list that I'm going to say "hey, stop it"

Escafeld had another good point: a lot of people create lists that are already created, they only need to take it off a magazine, a website or whatever and put it on Listal. We're having much more work doing our lists - and a lot of fun. It's our time that we're wasting, not yours. You don't need to see the lists.

I AGREE there's been a lot of these lists at the front page, but, really, I don't think this is a problem of the lists, but from the low amount of votes it takes go to up there.

why should there be restrictions on something of this site that is technically possible? where is the harm? ok, i can understand if certain images get filtered (because they are not yout/work safe, copyright issues etc.), but aside from that it's absolutely legitimate to make a list of all redheads, women with beards, actors smaller than 1,50m etc. and why should they be made private? if they aren't interesting enough, they will not get any votes and thus not show up on the front page. i certainly don't see any "dramatic decline in quality" on this site, on the contrary. at last there is some activity on this site, thanks mostly to the "brazilian gang".

@Tom: because else the bitching will never end, here an old suggestion of mine: more customization for the front page, so you can decide for yourself what you want to see (eg lists or no lists) there and what not. so everyone who feels offended by lists like "bald actors with moustache" can just filter the whole thing out.

Though you do seem to like making lists of stuff & people you hate. Why don't you make a list of the lists you hate. ;-)

^ funniest thing in this entire thread.. lol

Er... just don't vote. How hard is that?

Better yet, make a list of sites you don't vote for and then I can not vote for that too.

But if I made a dozen other lists about nice noses, hunky biceps, big tits, long hair, short hair, no hair, mustaches, goatees, eyebrows and fingernails all in the same week, everyone would be a bit hostile to me. (well, maybe not with a big tits list)

Good point Prelude. Why do you think you FANTAAASTIC list [sorry i don't think like that. =T] is better? just because your other 3294783957 lists are about I don't knwo, other things? and btw, things that are TOTALY useless FOR ME. And for many others I'm sure. But then for others, are great!
That's the point. We don't give a shit if you like or not our lists. Just ignore it. Just like I do with yours when I don't like (;
I don't need to come here and be a drama queen or be sarcastic on others lists [like you did. btw i answered you, go and see]. Come on, we're not 10 anymore. and the world is soooo, sooo big that well... that's not just you. =T

And I'm sorry, RB6K. But really, you think you have the right to say that our lists are shit and they whould not exist [cause is that you're saying]? when you think you realized you're someone to judge us? it's ok not to like, i don't need you to, but just respect.
Or if you want I can take some of your lists and say what I think.
Come on, who's crying for votes? Really? It's what you think? haha!

[sorry the comment up there. my computer is crazy. someone with access can just erase the four first. and let the last up there that is edited]

and well how i was saying. it's all a matter of opinion. i CAN'T believe this is happening here. people coming and calling others things shit. NOBODY here is more or less than the other. you can think that, but look at the mirror and see how many people live in this planet. it's NOT just about you.

and more? the point of listal is marking movies and blabla. But there're other [really nice] tools. so isn't to use it? if it's not, just take them off. end of story.

to make those lists, we SEARCH. we don't just make a stupid copy.

So when someone who does TITS lists or "blablablas that I hate, omg", "my sweet favorite blablabla cause the world is me and people care about things I hate or not" feels with the right to complain? I'm sorry that's usuless for me [even though i have a list of celebrities i hate]. but not for you. so DO it. and let uss do the shit lists we want. isn't that simple?

btw, my "favorite blablas" lists are semi-privet or even privet. So.. =T

Oh yeah and when listal becomes a "who-the-hell rules [like, you're just allowed to post kind of things that THIS PERSON likes]", tell me that I quite. (;
Freedom is something reeeeally cool.

@bisny: just relax and do your thing, really. there are a couple of users here who think they rule the site and have to mob everyone out they don't like (specific users, anime fans, brazilians etc.), because they think THEY are the damn bar of quality not only on this site but on the whole planet it seems. so just ignore this detached elite of godly creation and continue to make lists until they either explode out of anger or Tom, the one and only boss here, decides otherwise.

I'm all for freedom of choice to make any list people want to make, but by posting it in a public place, learn to deal and accept critique. You can ignore it or comment back. Thats how a social site works.

For the most part, I enjoy all these lists mostly because they are great pictures that are shown in them. But my pet peeves (and NOT rules, just my personal rant) is there are way too many of them - seems like half a dozen are being made daily dealing with actors/actresses with [insert object name here]. And my comment was specific to your 'Actors and chairs' list. I mean, ok, the Got Milk is good, even the Coke or Kiss or Shoes or whatever are unique. But chairs? They're actors! They ALL have actor's chairs. It just screamed 'laziness' and 'running out of ideas', hence why I commented. And yes, it is lazy, as the exact same drew barrymore picture appears in the Shoes list, as well as the chair list.

Anyways, everyone has a right to make a list of whatever they want, but others also have a right to bitch about or comment about it or praise it or steal its idea.

For sure I won't stop doing my thing. Cause I do it weel as well as my brazillian friends.

and Prelude, I'm not saying you can't have an opinion. Have your damn opinion, I don't really care. What I think you and others "i rule the world" should have more respect. One thing is saying "oh, I don't like it" and the other is saying "what a shit! I think they should not exist, it should be a PRIVET thing because blablabla". Too hard or I'm clear?

I don't care what you think about "my" chairs. You can say whatever you want and it won't make any difference to me. I won't stop making. And you want know something? it is NOT lazy. What's your concept of lazy? Just because they're chairs [ btw, i'm not stupid and i didn't make any normal chairs like chairs WE use.] and not tits or eyes [which I voted cause I think it's a good list.]? or "super fantastic games"? or wait... PLAYBOY covers? for me THAT'S lazy or whatever you call. USuless and many other things. But just for me.
You get my point?
You CAN'T say sth is lazy or bad for something [the site for example] JUST because you think it is. Sorry you're nobody to say that =T
Neither me to judge others, but thanksgod I'm not judging anyone like some of you guys are doing. And before you say that you're not, read again, I'm sure you can do that.

Well I just didn't think some listal people were like that. Ow, I'm surprised.

Anyways, everyone has a right to make a list of whatever they want, but others also have a right to bitch about or comment about it or praise it or steal its idea.

Yeah. For sure. But do it well.
Because if you want I can perfectly make a list of your lists and say what I think. Hm... but no, that's too stupid, I won't waist my time.

And thanks Bael, you said everything.

And again, if you "perfect" guys THINK we're too bad, well, stop TRYING to do perfect and DO it. Just stop being such a pain in the ass and DO instead of just talking blablablas.

Wtvr.
bye.

@Grand Assault: shameless advertising! again! ;)
