I’ve asked the question inthis Pit thread but a Pit thread is no where to get an answer to a serious question.
Miss Spaulding was given a “note” to cut out posting in Green Font because she kept it up after some number of other posters let her know that they found it annoying.
Shodan OTOH has no moderation placed on his “Regards” despite that he also persists after some number of other posters let him know that they found it annoying.
The justification for the divergent response was given in [the Miss Spaulding thread](after some number of other posters let her know that they found it annoying.), specifically here.
All well and good. But capriciously applied.
In the linked Pit thread a poster again bemoans the annoying frequent usage a nonsensical phrase. It is made clear by the fact that multiple posters have Pitted over this several times that the repetitive nature of its usage annoys many people, even if most of us merely scroll past anything its user posts with at most a rolling of our eyes. It is minimally jerkish to keep it up and again to me is being done in order to provoke a reaction and to draw attention to the poster.
It is clarified in the Pit thread that this is not someone merely making the same bad or stupid joke over and over again (something that arguably is part of board culture) but someone who has set all of his devices to automatically replace every “LOL” he types with his annoying phrase. That use of the board for such performance art behavior is certainly NOT a norm for this board, not part of the board culture.
Now I don’t particularly mind skipping his posts but I also would not have minded just skipping Miss Spaulding’s green ones. It does seem to me that we should however have some consistency in how rules are applied.
Minimally I would like to hear an explanation of why green fonts crossed a line to being advised to cut it out, but use of autocorrect to insert a phrase repetitively does not, when both annoy many other posters and neither is behavior consistent with board culture.
Thank you.
