But this is not a difference many of you seem to notice - actually, I'm looking at a few people in particular, but I'm not here to name names - and this is rather leading towards abysmal post quality. Remember, people, quality over quantity. No one cares about post count, and spamming for a custom title or for the ACS is a good way to get banned, not a good way to get what you want.

That is all.

Amen. This is something I've felt strongly about for sometime. (although some of my posts may suggest otherwise, they are usually made under the influence)

True, but what does that have to do with silliness/stupidity? Anyway, yeah... it's true...

I'd like to point out that a blank post is about as spammy as it gets. And I'm seeing way too much. Please stop.
And take this man's advice. He speaks the truth.
If you don't, we have a plan to drive around and seek revenge on those that act like tards on the board. Take heed.

I´m quite surprised to see a thread like this in Craziness Domain but I guess it´d get the most attention that way.

And I rarely spam. At least I try not to. Unless someone is flaming or harassing one of my friends. I hate that more than I hate being harassed myself.

It's a pity when people just seem to care about climbing the ladder and getting a high post count People need to start putting thought into their posts, it doesn't take much, just a little brain power and thinking

That's sloppy. Just write it as Postcount++.

Of course, the difference between silliness and stupidity can be easily forgotten when the action is done. It's easy to say "Put some thought into things!", yet have people believe you're not talking to them because they think they are putting thought in.

This is why you have to address them personally if you don't use qualifiers to say "everyone."

Here's an easy way to put it.

If you look at either Aurxix' or PeterGriffinTheMan's posts, and see little or nothing wrong with them, then you're probably on the chopping block yourself.

Trapster: It doesn't have to be spam to be stupid. This thread was not about a single thing. And yes, you do spam... However, your spam really isn't that bad compared to that of many other people, so we (we being staff) don't tend to address this as there's more pressing concerns.

BPM: No. Just no.

The way this thread goes determines if it was meant for Debate forum or not.

Kidding...but I figure the majority of people here know common sense anyways...course it wouldn't be you if you didn't find it annoying after some time, Al. I kinda figured you'd have blown up earlier.

I haven't yet blown up; I'm merely voicing my concerns. Believe me, you'll know when I blow up.

It'll probably involve my banning. I mean, it did the other times

Erm, okay. Set a timer for when you´ll blow up so we can abandon the board BEFORE that happens.

And maybe I spam but at least I try not to.

I thought it was such a simplistic rule by now that "spam/stupidity = bad".

Although sarcasm gets taken for stupidity quite to often on these boards. I'm guilty of thinking sarcasm was pure stupidity

Careful, studdly, keep this work-safe.

Hint: 92% of all "sarcasm" seen on message boards is not proper sarcasm because:
A) It's a normal post until someone points out how stupid it is, then the original poster suddenly jumps in and says "You're an idiot, that was sarcasm.".
B) People who do (A) are really lame.


People who honestly try to do sarcasm on the internet and don't overdo it to the point of absurdity are all idiots.



Okay, pop quiz! Which one of these is sarcasm?

A)
Person one: I really like popcorn.
Person two: Popcorn sucks.
Person two: Dude, don't you understand sarcasm?

B)
Person one: Popcorn is awesome. I love when you cover it with so much butter that you make yourself throw up. You get to taste it twice that way! We should make a monument to popcorn. We should make a monument /out of/ popcorn. Because food with so much salt that you can use it to make a field unusable? That's the best type of food.

We need to take off everything worth competing for. ACS is merely a "Who has more postcount wins" Competition.

The ranks are also of slight concern, too. Seeing as how the more posts you have, the better your little character looks.

Yeah, Squash, there is also real sarcasm from that 8% that is mistaken.

God, I really want to disagree with you, but I'm to lazy to think of something to say, so uhh, yeah... cool...

No Shyguy, they rough ACS back, and if people feel good for posting the most, cool. You fucking touch my rank and you die though!

You can post a lot and have decent content at the same time, believe it or not. Just think about what you're saying. Make an effort to make the post worth reading. If it's just a repeat of someone else's post above you, try to make it unique somehow. And by somehow, I mean in a non spammy, non trolling way.

Indeed. It's times like this when it's a good idea to just remember ||bass' sig; "Think about what you're saying, understand what you're talking about, and most importantly, Don't Be Stupid."
