We had some kind of score card, didn’t we? Were there troll points awarded if you showed up and acted cute in the OTRU thread?
The frozen meteor, it’s really shit. You didn’t touch it did you?
Aw, did someone’s best bud get a widdle warning? Is someone correctly pointing out a mod-ignoring troll making diddums want to run to their safe space? Well, fuck that noise, shitstain.
Here’s a hint you can pass on to your buddy AK - don’t be so obvious at the racebaiting trolling, and you won’t get warned for it.
AK’s not my buddy. I just commented because that thread made you look like a pussy.
Love these posts…the South African complaining about the Pakistani trading insults with the American. I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect disharmony.
Actually, I think he is more like the dog. Where did you put the scissors?
So do mentions work?
What hell does that mean?
I had to google it–it is the term for when you can do something like typing @Beckdawrek and you are notified that someone is talking about you.
Does it matter?
It hardly matters, but FWIW I vote troll.
+1
If you post a thread asking for opinions but then don’t post back to it, then I do at the very least assume you weren’t really interested in the answers, and am less likely to open your threads in the future. Sure, if your title is interesting enough, or I forget about you (which happens a lot), I may come back. But for posters that do it a lot, I just wind up skipping their threads.
A single post is different. I don’t expect people to necessarily read every reply. But, if you made a thread, surely you want to know what people think. And we just have too many driveby posters. It feels wasteful if there’s not a discussion.
They have that on the Giraffe Boards. If I want someone to know I’m talking about him, I’ll type @Giraffe for example, and he’ll get a notification that someone’s talking about him.
Hey, we expected that.
(and, to be pedantic, it is “out of skew”, not “askew”.)
Sure, and we all know how highly I value your opinion, man.
Wait, *who *are you, again?
And the only pussy in that thread was the octo-one.
You’re confusing troll with pussy.
Steven Estes has been put on a thread starting limit. No more than two per day, and he has to let some of his threads fall off the first page before starting new ones.

I have my account to show the most allowable threads per page, and I just counted 20 threads on the top page of GQ (counting the moved ones.)
