I expect to see at least 4 chokeslams and one of you better throw up. Velvet Hammer isn't a person, it's a special move you can only use when blood is drawn.
Where's my movie? :animal:
It's another special move. When cornered a flurry of sharpened Moana DVD's are unleashed on Witt.

Where would you prefer I zag, i'm open to reasonable criticism.

Unless you're implying I should zig-a-zig-ah which I absolutely refuse to do.
Well you gotta get with my friends, obviously.


I just think that the Witt/Troy Sanders/Bossman etc. Style of posters are good examples of not really bannable offenses. Do I wish there were fewer personal attacks and more fun references to philosophers? Definitely.

Do I wish they added more value to the forum and is it debatable that they're just assholes being assholes and existing to skirt rule 1? Of course.

Are they contributing less to the community than the content farmers, who really aren't that much different than the cydonias etc? Probably not.

Just my 2cents.

Kinda this.

At least boring occasionally annoying trolls are something to the community. Click miners are just nothing.

That said, yawn at this original thread and this sort of trolling.

Well i'll stipulate to that if you tell me what you want, what you really really want.

Perhaps some new guidelines for content farmers are needed then, it's not something i've personally paid much attention too because it isn't reported much.

The main aim of any moderation is to keep things friendly and inviting to outsiders so yeah, sometimes gotta make a judgement call on people just being assholes :idk:

Let's all JTT ourselves.

If we're in the spotlight of fame and fortune, while wanting to enjoy a higher education, travel, start a family, etc., let's ameliorate ourselves before criticizing others.

Curious what you guys mean when you say content farmers and click miners?

A lot of people say bread is bad for you, but I like bread. Sometimes I make my own bread from scratch, it's very satisfying.

People that don't interact with the forum beyond self-promotion. And sure, there's a bit of the pornography test here ("I know it when I see it"), but I think we've all experienced people who don't actually care about discussing fun things regarding effects, waffles, shitty movies, or whatever, and only post here to hawk whatever they've got going.

Maybe we can call it the "I'm not here to be chummy and chatty" test? RIP Cydonia :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't know either. Had to PM D.o.S. Should have asked in this thread in case others had the same question.

Sorry you had to explain twice D.o.S.
