For example, if I were to post in Great Debates about some brilliant and scintillating topic (say, circumcision), and I had a pit thread going, and someone links to my brilliant post in the aforementioned Pit thread, under my post it would say: > > RitterSport is a big doofus > > Or, whatever the name of my Pit thread is. I don’t know how to describe it any better, but I’ve seen it multiple times. Can that be turned off, at least for posts linked in the Pit? Sorry, I couldn’t resist (I do agree with you btw). ---

Love it! And, my first (sort of) pitting! ---

Your thread idea here is funny, and I disagree with changing the “tag” or whatever it is because, usually, it’s pretty funny, and funny is good. ---

It’s funny now because no one is abusing it. This type of thing could get old real quick. ---

Exactly. For example, there’s a Pit thread for “We have a winner for the title of West Virginia’s dumbest lawyer” which would get old really quick to me, if that followed me around for every post I made anywhere. ---

But you don’t post the dumb shit that West Virginia’s dumbest lawyer does. He (She?) earned that! ---

> [@DeadTreasSecretaries](#): > > It’s funny now because no one is abusing it. This type of thing could get old real quick. As I said in my response in the original thread, there is a significant aspect of self-policing on this board, so let’s not invent solutions to problems that don’t actually exist. If someone abuses this feature gratuitously solely to be an asshole, that can be dealt with through moderation sanctions. ---

Marzipan, schmarzipan. Why don’t you sack up and admit that you come in crappy flavors too. Like Corn Flakes. Who the heck thought THAT was a good idea? Or maybe they’re just fucking with us. ---

Yeah, that must be some weird German thing. I don’t really like the one with the big cookie in it either. But, their (my?) 60% dark? Milk or dark with whole hazelnuts? Yum! ---

Ritter Sport with marzipan is one of the best ones. That and the praline one. Also: you’re a big doofus. Well, a doofus anyway - I wouldn’t want to be sizeist here. ---

I don’t understand what this whole thread is about and Ritter Sport is way too German (quadratisch, praktisch, gut) to be good chocolate. Some flavours are OK, granted, but mostly they are too artificially flavoured. (Written while eating a tiny bit of Belgian chocolate, pretty dark, with some dried and grated orange peel for enhancement) Oh! 😌 ---
