Seriously, dude. Half the goddamn Game Room is your “Who is the greatest…” polls. Did you recently join an all-star simulation league and you’re looking for draft suggestions?

He is doing his own research.

Wonderful, keep an eye out for my 30 thread opus on the best football players of all time (incl. kicker, punter, kick returner, punt returner (Deion), kick coverage specialist, and punt return specialist). Hell, I may decide to break up the receivers into what part of the field they cover…
ETA: It’s not so much that I mind him doing it, but all on the same day? Give it some time.

Yeah, I saw this right after I started the NCAA men’s basketball thread, and I was pretty annoyed. Suddenly half the fucking page was threads about EACH fucking baseball position. Fucking twat, taking up the whole damn game room at once.

Shit, I already put this in the mini-rants thread!

Yeah, man, it’s so annoying have to have to scroll past a couple threads I’m not interested in reading…
Except, oh wait, it’s mindlessly easy. What a stupid, whiny complaint.

He needs a catchphrase for it first, right?

I count eleven such threads, actually.

Actually, no, he’s not. He’s said that he based the polls on Hall of Fame discussions we had here on the board _four years ago_. His current polls are sloppy, lazy, unthinking, hurried, and dated.
Doesn’t mean I didn’t vote in them.

Speaking as the official arbiter of such things, this is excessive. What, it would kill him to post one every few days or so to keep people from burning out on them?

They wouldn’t have bothered me if he hadn’t posted them all at once. Wasn’t there some kind of pseudo-rule about not starting up a bunch of threads at the same time? Maybe stemming from the “What was the best song on \ by \?” flood a while back?

I don’t get the outrage. If you don’t like them, scroll on by.

If you didn’t like this thread, you should have just scrolled on by.

Suppose I make 50 threads blocking out the entire front page of a forum. Acceptable?
I shall now have you answer that question in a poll broken down into 63 parts.

I’m guessing he’s a baseball fan. I could be wrong though.

But it wasn’t 50, it was eleven and it isn’t blocking out the entire front page of the forum, and if it is, its because\* other\* posters are actively participating in those threads. Yeah, its a little excessive and could have been condensed into a single thread but its also the internet. In the grand scheme of things to get outraged about this is pretty far down the list.
Besides, if there was something against the rules about those threads, shouldn’t a moderator have come along and merged them all together or something?

I plan to deal with my anger in a healthy way: by voting for people who are not baseball players.
