I know this will come as a HUGE shock to all of you, but I've mailed people before and suggested they return to their thread out of common courtesy. So yeppers, it ticks me off. I also loathe when people have a six page thread on a situation and then never update, despite promising to do just that. I need closure, people! Don’t worry about me. You will always get a reply ...you can bet on it... |

when people start threads and make bold statements and then never come back to them? It doesn't bother me. yours in Chaos, Scarlett Scarlett nothing bothers you ![]() Actually--since you asked--there are things that are worse. On social sites like this one, a lot (I won't say "most", but A LOT) of the people on the forum have either A) never belonged to an internet discussion forum before, or B) have only belonged to that particular forum and no others for as long as they've been on the internet. Let's call them "n00bs" just for the sake of brevity. The members that fall outside this category are about 99% trolls. (I'm not talking about the mythical creature that haunts lonely bridges and forests; google "internet troll definition" if you are puzzled by this reference.) On a forum like this one, the people who start "bold" topics are almost always n00bs. They will usually only do so a few times and then either get scared by the flaming and run off, or become resentful and only reply to others' topics in a hesitant and watchful fashion--like a kid on the playground who still wants to be in a clique but has already got beat up a couple of times, right? Either way, n00bs may offend, but they usually only do so a couple of times and that's it. Trolls, on the other hand, are those members who start a topic entitled: WUUUUUZZZZZZZAAAAAA!!!!!!!!1111~~~1!, with the text of the topic being something like: "Uigl? P?ol@!tz?" Their troll friends will immediately pounce on this brilliant subject and very quickly the topic will be 10 pages long, with every reply being something like: "NEENERNEENERNEENER wokka wokka wokka CHILLY!" *long rows of LOL faces or dancing pickles* Invariably, if the forum has text color or HTML capability, there will also be images and GIFs of such things as vomiting pumpkins, angelic kittens, and sparkly leprechauns pulling down their pants. Each image will be replied to with more long rows of LOL faces. If there is text color capability then the clever trolls will make their replies in the same color as the forum background, so that it can't be read unless it's highlighted. (We can't use colored text on this forum; I've already tried it.) The n00bs who have already got flamed into submission will then attempt to join the party and make nonsensical posts themselves, and a lot of the time put in parentheses at the end of the post: "Am I doing this right?" After the topic has grown to about 50 pages, the troll who started it will then generally have grown tired of the game and be paying more attention to another of the 15-20 spam topics that he started that day. So: If anything about an internet discussion forum really "bothered" me--it would be that. But it doesn't. Another really great thing about the internet is how easy it is to ignore people that are trying their damndest to get one's attention. I'm also a fan of the relationships threads where everyone tells the OP to dump him/her, without knowing the whole story.
But an even finer amusement is to see how upset people get when someone asks for more information, or spots a hole in the OP's story. ![]() |

"n00bs" ?? I may just be one of those. I sometimes start a topic and then maybe have one other post in it. It's time consuming to reply to everyones comment.

You don't have to reply to everyone's comment, but at least three per page would be polite. Select those you like or disagree with. It is like hosting when you start a thread. And like leaving your own party if you abandon it. |
