I’m taking this to the Pit so as not to Hijack your thread anymore that it already has been.
Yes you are. A good majority of the threads are nonsensical in nature and seem to have no other purpose than to bring attention to yourself. If this is what you are like in real life, it is no wonder the ladies turn their back to you.
Like Fran said in here , get a Live Journal. Post your seeming endless problems in there.
And when in here, it’s probably best that you keep some of your stupid questions to yourself. Even though you have the attention you were looking for, its probably not the kind of attention you want.
Well, you join the boards on Nov 27th and you have made over 200 posts. Not bad in and of itself, but most of them are in the many stupid threads you have started in that VERY short period of time! (See above examples.) So, if the shoe fits, bud.
But don’t feel so bad, they did make a new rule, and I’m sure it’s partly (If not solely.) because of you.
See?
"Q: What should I do when I see a user “trolling” at the SDMB?
A: Do not publicly accuse someone of trolling at the SDMB. Use the “Report this post to a moderator” facility below the “trolling” post. Do not reply to the troll in any way in the thread, that will only encourage the troublemaker.
Then in all fairness, let me retract the ‘troll’ accusation if you please and replace it with ‘obeisant attention getter’.
I would think of this as a possible grey area as he is not trolling in the malicious extent. But he is making thread after thread after thread to get attention and it is very annoying.
To all the guys who are sick of me…
Sorry for being an annoying twerp, I’m preety sure thats what Kwijybo wanted, anyway I’m sorry for being a jerk, an attention seeker, and for asking dumb questions.
Most of them are good threads(in my head) but I just have no Idea to make them have substance or be interesting.
Once agin I’m sorry. Oh and i’m having a break for a day or two
seeya!
Ryan, your questions aren’t dumb, there’s just, um… an awful lot of them.
If you do wan’t to take up Frannie’s suggestion about getting a Live Journal I’m sure one of us can get you a code.
Take care, don’t let the Big Balding Ape scare you off, he’s a big teddy-bear really. Start a thread about boobies and you’ll see… (On second thought’s, maybe don’t)
If you want posts to have substance, you either have to work damn hard to make them have substance or post things that … wait for it … already have substance.
I know this is going to sound rather hypocritical, given my post count, but seriously … read and respond. Open a thread if there’s a good reason for it (the breaking of which recommendation I am guilty of, but which fact does not negate whatever truth there is to it).
And get thee a livejournal so you can say, to anyone who comments about any inanity or one-trick-ponyness, “Hey, you chose to read it”.
That is crap. It is not the fault of the other posters on this board when somebody is being annoying. No, we’re not being forced to read the threads, but they create a lot of clutter that we are forced to wade through in order to find posts with some actual substance.
Geobabe, I think a conservative 90% of the posts here are clutter we have to wade through to get posts with substance. Singling out Ryan_Liam as being especially stupider than, say, almost anything in IMHO seems a little cruel to me.
I was beginning to think the same trollesque way, but I think I favour sad, lonely teenager who needs to get out more, maybe meet some people and talk to them. Sounds almost like me twe(ahem) years ago.
