Have I mentioned how much of a pain in the ass it is to see threads filled up with pointless posts?
RX, Bolt, if the two of you want to keep up this bullshit do it on your own time. There's no need to take this, or any other threads, off-topic with your needs to bruise each other's egos. If you really, REALLY need to keep this pointless fight going, do it OFF of our forum.
The odd bit of joking around is usually considered to be okay, so long as it doesn't detract from the original purpose of the thread. If there are indeed, threads that have posts like the ones you describe where said posts needlessly take the thread off-topic (the way that you and RX were doing with this one), then someone should/would have used the REPORT icon to alert the staff about it. People here have another thing coming if they think that all of us staff members check out every single thread in every single section of the forum 24/7.It's funny that you should say that, considering how many threads I see full of pointless posts, stupid joking insults, and inside jokes by mods and their buddies. And interestingly enough, none of those are ever closed or even acknowledged.
Weird.

If the staff is alerted to a situation like this, and if we all agree that the situation warrants it, then action will be taken. A storeowner has no right to complain about how many times his shop gets broken into if he refuses to call the police or identify the punks who did it. The staff here CAN and WILL take action on behaviour like this, but considering how many threads there are here, we can only do it if we know that it's happening. Consequently we can only know that it's happening if we see it ourselves (the way that I saw the argument between yourself and RX), or if someone reports it.
Who'd have thunk it?
No but I know how pathetic YOU sounded when you posted this ****.
A single post here or there likely won't do that, whereas a series of posts that show a definitive, "off-topic" argument can. As I said before, as long as it doesn't detract from the original purpose of the thread, then it will likely be considered okay.I understand that you called us out for bickering, but don't chalk it up to "taking of forum space with pointless posts." If you want to play that game, then you can barely open a thread on this forum without finding some kind of single emoticon posts or one liner inside joke by Keith, Rider Faiz, Faded, and/or Fayt. Where is the line drawn?
For your latter example, if you're referring to the thread about Faiz and Keith meeting up for the first time, well...that's pretty much the purpose that thread has adopted. Considering the fact that no one has (presumably) been making posts complaining about it or sending the people involved PMs asking them to stop said behaviour, there wouldn't appear to be any reason to take any action.Is constantly flirting with Faded or making jokes about Keith and Faiz being gay together not just as pointless?
