Lately, there have been a lot of pointless posts. I know everyone like to just have fun here and enjoy themselves, but many users find it quite annoying to just see "lol" or "ok" in a post. I've cleaned up a few, but please try to be considerate to the admins here and other members and make thoughtful posts, not just one word ones. This is a forum, not a chat room.
I don't mean to be the "bad guy", but I feel that I need to say something. ;)
And I know this does not apply to all members, some of you always make very thoughtful posts.
Thanks.
Could not have said it better myself. I completely agree. :)
I was drunk ::)
yup blame it on the beer again! :P
hang over stage now
I was going to say... Either you're drunk or hung over 90% of the time. heh.
And yea, this is me, Jeff, with a new name and stuff. I deleted my own name earlier as I was so close to going off on a couple select people in the forum and it just wasnt worth it. I have since cooled down (a little) and have redeemed some sanity.
I am in total agreement with Pcheats words above and I think stuff needs to be inforced a little bit more around here. It's sad to say this, but its true. I am the teen in this forum and more of you adults are acting like I "should" but I dont because I dont have that type of mentality.
I just dont think some of you are getting the hint, and just because I am a teen, Element, does not mean you have the right to talk to me in a snooty ass way. I wasnt being snooty and you just came and hit me with
Quotemaybe if you actually read the topic, you would see that i dont know how
when I was just wondering why you didnt size down your avatar just a little bit. Excuse me for missing a one line post. My apologies...
The main reason I came back was to help Pcheats and them with some surprises that are coming for you guys in the near future, and I didnt intend to leave forever, but deleting my old name was the most logical thing I could think of. It was just to hard for me to like walk away from this computer before I were to make a severely immature post that I would regret later on.
So here I am.. The new Jeff I guess you could say.
Let's try to keep this forum somewhat mature with decent posts.
- Jeff
me come at you!
QuoteAnd also, I am in agreement with John on this avatar issue. Pcheats, step in and use your admin powers. Remove the avatars from their profiles all together, re size them, or ban them for not cooperating. It has been asked nicely several times for them to remove the sh!t and its not happening. It's extremely annoying to see more f**ck!ng pictures than text in a thread.
Well, there's my stand on it. I am not apologizing for the language... if it isnt appreciated, edit it.
we were complying with what the admin were saying! and when someone tell an admin to ban me i take it as an insult....so srry you came at me first buddy
Jeff fine just leave me alone

No names were mentioned in that post so the guilty conscience has you by your ankles.
what are you talking about it was only me and aplaya putting pics in our profile!! ohh i didnt mention any names in my post either so ur conscience must have you tooo.....whatever
i told you it was gonna get booted playa ::)
John hers iis showing butt lots of it lol
should have posted in the other topic lol
WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice SIG Element
Thks playa
Hey it looks like john has some money to collect!!
He does lol Yep
cant the admins just remove the pointless posts. it would make everyone's lives alot better and the person posting might stop. i started a topic last week...when does texas holdem come out....i got a reply that said...SOON...that was the stupidest thing i have ever read. please do something. ???
it seems like some people think this is a chat room. is it???
ummm technically no....lol but people are going to useless post no matter what..
Well I hate to say "people" when it is one person -- a_playa.
PogoCheats.net has a chat room. Go there to place comments such as lol or haha, or funny!! Or even a one liner. This issue has been brought up time and time again. I guess some people just never get the hint, or they don't care. I am not being rude here, a_playa, but this really does need to stop. It's not fun reading a post that says "lol" or something near that effect ya know?
Pcheats, Mayhem, John, myself, and others are asking the pointless posts to cease and desist. PERIOD.
I dont want to see the actions the admin of this forum will take if this continues. It could be removed all together and only the chat will remain. Be thankful for what you have here and thank the admins when necessary for their hard work and dedication to this.
I rest my case.

gettn better lol
It not acceptable that after many, many warnings, some users still continue to make completely useless posts, like "yea ok" or "gettn better lol", and things like that. If it doesn't stop, the user(s) will loose their posting privileges for a certian period of time. We don't want to need to do that, but some of them just don't get the idea.
OK, i will stop and do as best that i can do thnx tom
I will say something thoughtful:
1. Don't sweat the small stuff.
2. It's all small stuff. (--Especially three letter posts. lol)
It takes me no time at all to determine that a three letter post contains no useful content. It takes me much longer to draw the same conclusion about a three paragraph post complaining about three letter posts. Everyone chooses what to get upset about.
If one is going to get upset about something, isn't it more reasonable to get upset about something that might have an impact on one's life five years, one year or even one day from now? Can't you get upset about the ingratitude of the Shi'ites in Iraq? Or the failure of the administration to properly man the occupation? Or the overwhelming marxist bias among educators? Or the price of gasoline? Or the devastating impact the AARP will have if they succeed in putting an end to the research into pharmaceuticals that will extend your lifetime by decades or perhaps even indefinitely?
Give it some thought, and I am sure you can find something truly worthwhile to gripe about. Or better yet, live a longer, healthier, happier life by not getting upset at all. Cortosol is a really, really harmful destructive hormone--you pay a terrible price every time you unleash it. Everyone needs to include cortosol on the cost side of every cost/benefit analysis before deciding whether to get angry.
just think of it like this. if you are talking to someone and the other person says "i see", "lol", or "that's funny," that person is not helping the conversation or adding anything to the conversation. it is considered to be understood and is awkward when used in a forum and should strictly be used in a chat format.
exactly i agree with DJ lol very good points ;)
Its just ANNOYING..thats all.if you don't have something useful to say then don't say anything. If someone posts something funny, look at whats funny and laugh to yourself...we don't need to know or probably don't care you think it's funny by typing lol. If I check a new post and it just reads lol, soon, or gettin better......that sucks. and doesn't belong in a forum. forums are for discussing things. how simple is that.
ya and im sorry my posts have been a lot better than the one - 3 letter phrases
rider chill out man..dont go so crazy over somthing so small. you gotta see that this is a forum that anybody can come and talk on and you can be mad, you can complain and you can even ban people but the fact is its gonna happen and the best advice i can give you is stop getting mad about it and start getting ust to it. trust ive been there too and the only way i got over it was by being fine with it ;D you can oly expect so much out of a forum ;)
Knowing already that bob@pogopal won't bother to read this (something to the effect that I'm an insane believer in Marxism...), I've got to say I agree with him... Let a_playa be... How hard is it Jeff to just pass over his "useless" post than it is to start an entire thread to bash his posting etiquette? I know the admins have to take control of the board and to make sure things stay in line (avatars, language, drug references ;) etc...) but it takes all of a half second or less to read a_playa's 3 letter post and to move on... I think bob said it best, and quoted someone even better... Don't sweat the small stuff, because in the end he's right; "It's all small stuff."
I guess but i have been making better posts see lol more than my 3 letter ones lol try to make mine as good as i can get them
