I like how the Game of Thrones non-spoiler threads are 90% people who have read the book circling each other like sharks biting at each other over what does and does not constitute book spoilers while the handful of us that haven’t actually read the books give up and walk away because the whole damn thing is just spoiler/non-spoiler discussion. ---

I don’t see it as threadshitting and I thought this rant would be about the assholes who come creeping out of the woodwork every time someone decides to get open up about their lives in any advice thread lately. ---

> [@Rushgeekgirl](#): > > I don’t see it as threadshitting and I thought this rant would be about the assholes who come creeping out of the woodwork every time someone decides to get open up about their lives in any advice thread lately. Are you talking about the thread started by the known, admitted troll and the other one by the woman who asked for advice then told everyone who gave her advice to fuck off? Or are there other examples you’re thinking of? ---

I thought the rapper posts were gentle ribbing of the OP for not including a thread title that made sense to people who don’t watch Parks and Recreation. If I’d started a thread with a title that I thought was informative enough, and got such responses, I’d post a :smack:, say ‘very funny, but Li’l Sebastian could only be a rapper for a…’ something amusing depending on who Li’l Sebastian is, which I still don’t know. And I’d be surprised that I’d only got five posts ribbing on the thread title. Tripolar: don’t be put off. Thread titles do have to be a little dull, but only in the sense that them conveying information is more important than them being funny. The funny goes in the posts. > [@Sierra\_Indigo](#): > > Stomp the sandcastles all you like, the OP seems to have plenty wadded up them so there’s still more to play with. BY MY DEFINITION sandcastles are my unborn children and I am going to start a pit thread about you advocating their stomping. :mad: ---

> [@TriPolar](#): > > Yes, assume it is a spoiler even though you don’t know. That would be the exact opposite of shitting. I have seen the episode now and I judge the thread title to in fact be a spoiler. Yes, it is the opening of the episode and is not a big plot surprise, but knowledge of the thread title ruined a joke. And it’s a comedy, after all – ruined jokes are just as bad as telling everyone the butler did it. ---

Well, I always thought it was a joke that you had to be mean in the pit. You bastard. It’s pretty handy for moving disputes from other forums to this one, or suggesting people do so, which usually means they’ll cool off instead of - heh - threadshitting. You adopted child you! ---
