Will you stop these "OMG PLZ LOK DIS THRD" posts? That pisses off the public more than a nub complaining about his bathroom problems.

Anywho, all I'm saying is that if people stopped posting retarded things, they won't get a retarded and angry reaction.

I think he was talking about how threads get off subject so much...

Don't post anymore, it's a waste of bytes.

"he"?

Using a second account to surreptitiously support yourself in arguments only works if it doesn't have almost exactly the same name as the first.

You failed your spot check.

Hint.

It would be nice to see the members of the forums to stop seeing themselves as the police and punishers of the content on the forums.

If a thread is stupid, leave it alone to die. Currently, people will flock in with their two cents about why such and such is stupid/incorrectly used/newbish/whatever. Nothing is accomplished by this. Most of this thread from the second post down is a perfect example.

If somebody used a word wrong use your massive intellects to figure out what they're talking about instead of trying to correct them. When you hit "reply" try to keep in mind what the thread is trying to accomplish, not your personal agenda. If your reply doesn't contribute to the thread's goal DONT POST. And no Inspiration, this isn't some kind of censorship of opinion, don't play that card. It's old and very worn out.

Threads breaking the rules will be dealt with by the mods, not by the condescending masses. Just because a thread is going to be deleted doesn't mean you have to put down the maker until it's gone.

Here are some common tell-tale signs you're wasting everybody's time:
1) If you're being sarcastic
2) If you're quoting the dictionary
3) If you've broken the post before yours into tiny blocks and are responding to each piece separately
4) If you're being "funny" at somebody else's expense
5) If you're being "outrageous" (ex: speaking in exaggerated noob)

Let's stop the hair splitting, fuss making and flaunting of technical definitions to put down or discredit others.
This is what I think the creator of the thread was trying to say.

Nah I think he was just talking about the high amounts of off-topic debating.

Almost all "debates" on the forums fall into "hair splitting, fuss making and flaunting of technical definitions to put down or discredit others."

Debate is just a name coined here for an arguement to make it seem intellectual when it's still just a contest.

I think you've just hit the nail on the head..

Exactly what Houdini said, I'm a little tired from moving to our new house all weekend.
