Somehow I have made it to 100 posts with being pitted. I’m sure this will change soon, but at least I made it this far and will hopefully earn the respect of everyone here. To celebrate I ask all of you to look at the table on the right. That’s right, I brought goodies. There is something for everyone. I have cookies (even double-chocolate chip!), pie, chocolate, heck, I even brought hamster food! Since the hamsters are a little busy right now would one of the mods be willing to take it down to them? I appreciate it. As for the rest of you, please, dig in! ---

With a thread title like that – are you trying to tempt fate, **Convict**? 🙂 Never mind the lack of Pit-dom – seeing as you’ve gone since June 2000 with only 100 posts, I admire your restraint, mate! Congrats! ---

Ok, I’m a newbie here on SDMB, so I have to ask… what does ‘pitting’ mean? ---

“Pitting” means being called out in The BBQ Pit, the flame forum. Take a quick visit, but cover your ears. You’ll only end up there if you’re a total ashat. ---

If you get Pitted, does someone send you an email? How embarrassing it would be not to show up at your own defamation! :o ---

Anyone can be pitted, be it for being an asshat or not. For instance, I can pit you right now, even though you haven’t been a total asshat (or even a minor asshat, as far as I can tell 😉 ). ---

If I’ve been pitted, I’m unaware of it. But then, I never wander into the pit. ---

I haven’t been Pitted, or even flamed, I think, in five and a half years of Doping. I think this is more a testament to the general blandness of my posts than anything else. ---

Rather low on the vitriol meter, so it might not count. ---

**tracer** broke 10K without a pitting. As noted by **Arnold Winkelreid** in **tracer’s** 10K post party. Enjoy, Steven ---

I’ve never been pitted to the best of my knowledge. I even do Vanity Searches smetimes, just in case. (Don’t want to miss the opportunity to see what I did to tick somebody off.) I know my post count is low, but if you count pre-Great SDMB Crash, I’m probably closing in on 1200 posts now… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/100-posts-without-a-pitting/163711.md?page=2)
