    Now everyone knows I'm pretty nice to newbies normally, but I have to ask, Joevual: What exactly did you edit to leave your post looking like that?

    I saw it pre-edit. The "railroad spike" reference is new. I wondered who the first-responder would be. :smile:
    Do you want to answer his question?

    Well, it may have been that thing with Bryant the other day, or someone dropping something in my tea, but I'm not convinced this is a newbie. Or mayb it's just the phonemic qualities of the username.

    Jeez, I'm getting paranoid. What's left when all the trust is gone? Oh yeah, this little 'mis'

    Joevual, the railroad spike (which people call an avatar) will change to something more impressive when you have made more posts. This is supposed to encourage participation, but (depending on the type of person you are) it generally either:

    • Encourages spamming of various forms (double posts, pointless threads, saying "Hi" a lot)
    • Makes you feel vaguely inadequate that you can't force yourself to post enough to get rid of the never-quite-satisfactory blunt instrument you have been saddled with

    Or to curse with a below-average avatar for posting too much :smile:.

    Hmmm...makes me wonder whether his IP matches anyone else's here...

    I never knew that little avatar was a railroad spike...it looks like a sword blade with no handle...kinda like a faded Journeyman avatar.

    I agree that it looks loke a broken blade. Anyway, for people that make useless threads or spam to hell, I will make special avatars, and ranks.

    Jinxed,

    We already have a "spammer" rank on the forum, actually. Just inform me when you have a candidate for it. :smile:
