Feedback Annoying little post-count-freaks making pathetic posts.

    What is with all these kiddies obsessed with making pointless posts now?!

    For example, a recent thread I saw was "Is this site using wordpress?"

    I responded, copy + pasted the META 'generator' tag which said worpress 3.0.1 as PROOF it was wordpress.

    Then what the hell is the point in 50 other people all saying "Yeh i fink it wrdprss" "Yeah mate, its wordpress" "I'd say wordpress" "Wordpress" "Wordpress 3" "Wordpress" "It wordpress" "I wud defititely say wordpress"
    (appalling spelling deliberate - they all seem to be a bit that way inclined.)

    Now, fair enough if it's a matter of opinion.. Fair enough if there was no meta, there was no proof, and you had to just made educated guesses on something like certain structures of coding etc.. And each person made a new point about "Well you see the header source follows the exact structure of wordpress, so I'd place my bets on it being wordpress.."

    THAT would be constructively posting.

    I'd feel like a knob reporting all these posts, but should I? I mean.. It's really starting to piss me off.. But then I don't want to piss the moderators off by spamming them with reports.. The way I see it, 70% of the posts on this forum seem to be the same ( - exaggerated, without a doubt)..

    To be honest, this is just more of a rant than anything.. I've had a few infractions for 'running up post count' in the past - and I've NEVER been so irritating and ignorant as to just virtually QUOTE what everyone else has already said.. What's the point?! Argh!

    /rant.

    Feel free to share your views, I hope i'm not just being ill-tempered..

    Just report them, you won't piss the mods and trust me, it's their job to hunt them. Just be sure you don't go trigger-happy reporting just because he posted one liners.

    OR

    You can borrow my high-powered, rocket engine, meat grindin' shotgun to blast these DP noobs into tidbits.

    You don't need to report them all if they are from the same user... just put a note on the report to check their other posts.

    Hey Grimm! I've no interest in getting anyone in trouble for legitimate answers, nomatter how small - it's just really starting to annoy me when I go 'ooh, a new post on that thread...' then look at it, and it's just an exact copy - if not a lesser version - of post #2. A one-line unique answer is fair enough..

    And I would very much like to borrow your multifunctional supershotgun xD

    Hey Shawn, I'm referring to separate individuals posting the same crap as opposed to the same people saying things over and over.. However I take onboard what you've said :)

    Thanks,
    Chuckun

    Unfortunately there are just alot of idiots about , plain and simple. I try and avoid posting now completely because i find my self wanting to punch my laptop screen at how seriously retarded some people are. You kind of learn to ignore it but even then its hard work.

    It seems you feel pretty much how I feel about it :L Except for me, i'm posting more than I have since my first year here (i've been away from home a lot the past few years so posted less and less), and that's why I'm noticing them all so much now :L

    Easier said than done - I wish I could! I tend to put up with them all day, then I reach breaking point at the end of the night lol
