Kill me. Literally.

Alright Spuffure, here’s my first democratic reach out.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever been part of a forum before, but usually one doesn’t create thread for each wild thought one has. We have so many threads already that one probably can be used for every single one of the duplicate threads you’ve created. It’s why we have threads for the new movies and a Random Thoughts thread.

If you do have an actual new topic, expect that to go off topic soon. It’s how laid back forums like ours function. We try to keep serious threads serious, but unnecessary threads will be mocked then ignored. Like this one.

This is the first time I’m testing my personal two strikes rule. You’re at (an overdue) “one”.

Let’s not try to play elitism around here. If a thread fits all forum rules (speaking in general), there is no reason why one should not create it. The community will decide whether the thread is useful or unnecessary by natural selection, not you or Frink. If it fits all rules and is of no interest to the community, it will naturally be forgotten in a day.

I’m trying to teach a new member how forums work because apparently they don’t know. I had a similar experience on my first forum, so I’m paying it forward instead of just reverting immediately to our usual unhelpful mockery. Sure, new threads can fit forum rules (this one does not, by the way), but Spuffire has been making multiple threads on the same subject and only taking the mockery as a sign to recreate the thread to get a fresh start. The community’s way isn’t working, so I’m reaching out to the person.

We’re trying to live in a society here!

And I am trying to teach you how forums actually work.

Don’t try to put yourself above the community. The natural selection by the community is working perfectly, as I described.

And besides, the guy has several threads with 20+ on-topic replies so his threads are apparently not as unnecessary as you try to claim.

If you think I’m being elitist, fine. I won’t try to help people anymore. I’ll just mock them until they go away. If that’s what the community wants, that’s what they’ll get.

I’ve been here for 8.5 years, this is the only forum I’m a regular member of, I think I know how this forum works. I’m trying to teach people how it works so they can avoid mockery, and I’m accused of being elitist. Whatever.

So your idea of “helping people” is to try to make them accept your opinion of how unnecessary their threads are?

You already did it in your “helping” post.

JEDIT: Frink beat me to it. You know better than to listen to ImpsCum.

I just don’t understand people complaining about Frink, but then telling me to let Frink decide what thread is worthy instead of encouraging the poster to think before they post. I understand I’m trying to read logic into imperialscum posts, and that might hurt my head.

I just think we all could benefit from thinking before we post.

Who said let Frink decide? I said let the community decide through the natural selection by either replying to a thread or ignoring it. Frink is just a minor insignificant pest/parasite in this process that induces off-topic posts.

I’ve ignored plenty of threads, we still have three threads about favorite Palpatine holograms started by the same person with no explanation of what that even means.
