Look, I’m not one to talk about too much posting. 😉 However, it seems that most of your posts are in threads that you yourself have started. You have about 51 posts, according to your profile-and you’ve posted 33 topics since you first came here. We’ve had people like that before, and while I’m NOT saying you’re a troll or a sock, most of them didn’t end up sticking around. So, no big deal, just a small request. Thank you. ---

I’ve seen people pitted before for starting threads and never returning to them. Now I’ve seen someone pitted for only posting in their own threads. I’ve still not seen an elephant fly. So wonder we’re such a small elite bunch. No bugger can figure out the rules. ---

Jesus, this is stupid even by **Guin** standards. Seriously, just try shutting up for once; you might like it. ---

scrambledeggs does both. He’s only posted in three threads other than the ones he’s started. He only posts once or twice in the threads he started. He needs to slow down and think more about the questions he posts. ---

I’ve been waiting for this Pit thread. His actions are no skin off of anyone else’s nose. :shrug: As long as he’s not trying to intentionally fill up Page 1 of GQ with his own OP … what’s the problem? ---

I did a search. Almost all of the threads have lots of replies. They all seem sensible enough. Mainly in the non-social forums. Perhaps you meant to say “do feel free to join in others’ threads”, **Guinastasia**. Perhaps in a PM to **scrambledeggs**. Or you have some sort of “dumb ‘n’ frosty” Pit thread quota to fill. This is a very foolish thread. ---

Does the OP count as post padding? Because this is about the most worthless excuse for a pitting I’ve ever seen. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/scrambledeggs-please-give-the-threads-a-rest/454433.md?page=2)
