Does listal becomes a myspace clone?

Ipanema 18 years ago at May 11 11:08 -
A lot of user currently register only to use listal in a myspace manner.
f.e. http://zacatecas.listal.com/

Should't there be any limitations if you have no items in your collection!? f.e. you could upload only one picture, you could only have 5 friends or less, no video upload until you reached a specific amount of listal points etc.

by the way... there should be some adjustment to the points system. Or is it usefull to have a user without any item on rank 22?

I'm glad someone else finally noticed that person. I've been complaining about this plenty of times as they clutter up the site. There should be an introductory email or something to explain to people what the site is actually for as they dont seem to know. Users with constantly empty collections should be bugged often to do something decent!

How did you find the first person? It's pretty hard to find people if they don't list anything, no entries on item pages, no similarity matching etc...

The second person I agree the points may need to be adjusted, I set the points to be 300 for inviting friends as this is obviously pretty important for the growth of the site, it looks like she has invited 50+ people to join which is why she has 16,000 points.

I randomly click on the new users... i think i know what you wanna say... don't click on the new users and you have no problem....But i think it's just a case of time if some of them bother curious users with "hey you look cute"-things. Secondly new users who perhaps really want to list their stuff will be discouraged when they see some of them...

The question is why these people use listal and don't stay at myspace? Listal probably provides some functionality which is not supported on these sites. Identify this feature and switch it off until you've rated 25 or 50 items... Problem solved

That is pretty sad....I would cry if Listal turned into a Myspace.

Same here. That said, I have noticed that there have been old accounts being revived from the dead again, so hopefully some sense will return, or at least start to dominate.

As for finding these people, I come across them all the time when searching for items as they're often linked to others. If I'm keeping an eye out for pictures to report then these types of people with low collections and high numbers of friends are often the ones to keep an eye on...

Maybe they are not using myspace because schools and libraries are starting to block myspace, if listal becomes a myspace clone then it's in danger of being blocked as well.
