Instead of hijacking [**kambuckta’s** thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=114814), I’ll start a new one. Everybody has seen the SDMB message “Thank you for posting! You will now be taken to you post. If the administrators are moderating all posts…” yadda yadda. Considering how Mudane and Pointless some of my posts are, I sometimes expect to see: > [@](#): > > DING! Good monkey! Have a food pellet. or maybe in Great Debates: > [@](#): > > Oh Bravo! I don’t think we’ve witnessed oratory of such eloquence since Mike Tyson learned the word “fornicate.” If you could customize “Thank you for posting”, what would you change it to? ---

Oh for goodness sakes. Do you realize that is the SEVENTH post you’ve made in the last 20 minutes? Don’t you have something better to do? Don’t you have a REAL LIFE? You do understand that NOBODY is actually reading any of your witty erudite comments don’t you? Sheesh. Oh, and the hamsters reckon you suck too. ---

How about: “I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that. This message board is too important to allow you to jeapordize it.” or “Great. That post did it. You just killed one of the hamsters. I hope it was worth it.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lets-replace-thank-you-for-posting/108742.md?page=2)
