    Unless there are too many people doing it, then it is just as bad.

    Personally, I don't mind it at all. The only things that irritate me are when people post many, many times in a row, or make up a significant portion of a given thread. The forums aren't IRC, and it's hard to tell in advance how many times a given post will be echoed/repeated; and repeating other people is just plain annoying.
    It's easy to avoid the flame topics; you can generally tell if a post is going to be funny or just plain mean in the first sentence or two, and by the number of capitalized words in it.
    I really don't understand why people don't like the one-line posts; they tend to be just as funny as any other, and sometimes just as informative as well.

    Hmmm.... I agree. And sometimes, a three-word agreement or compliment is good enough.

    That's true. And besides, FOE is a nice, evil guy. (does that fit? :roll: )
    Hope you are having fun here, FOE! Keep going. You are about halfway to Master.

    I guess it fits, for I am evil deep inside me, and still am in interacting in situations and other people in real life, but when I'm just talking, I TRY to stay nice (I guess it worked...for now)

    Touche' Snow Leopard, but if we don't nip it in the bud while their young we'll have 20 nbrosz clones running around. BTW your new avatar is very becoming, though somewhat girlish. J/K congrats, :wink:

    :D Sorry, no offence Darkwalker - I just wanted to point out the irony of your post.

    I didn't want to flame you, but you do have a habit of being aggressively spammy and flaming people in order to stop them spamming and flaming.

    I think 'they' get the idea, and besides, it's not your place to do anything about it. They have been warned, and Jinxed is going to give them very little more tolerance. He's already warned that he's going to do something serious soon if it continues, and at this rate, you're also going to be on the receiving end, even though your intentions are to stop them too.

    So just a bit of friendly advice - just let it lie, and stop posting such things and sit back and watch when Jinxed snaps. I believe you'll enjoy that much more than being a joint recipient of any action.

    Good advice Ferret, I think you'll be pleased to see I came to the same conclusion on my own only a few minutes ago, as can be seen in my response to Sheriff on the sig sizes thread.

    Does anyone remember that thread where DU made a really, really, really, long, annoying post, and then everybody and anybody quoted it and then each others' posts afterwards, so that in the end, each post was nearly an entire page in itself? :eek:

    Now THAT was annoying!! :x

    And thanks H.Khat/Eros! [​IMG]

    AND

    Um...I think I'm about to change my mind too.....There's faaaaar to much spam going on here nowadays. And spam doesn't usually get my back up. But sonofabitch........ I'm tired of one sentence replys that don't say Anything. Makes coming to the board haaaard, when there's a reply to 3/4's of the posts on the first page all by the same person, most of which consist of off-topic, one sentence replies..
