DO NOT post "/thread" anymore. It's not funny, you're not being witty, it can be construed as an attempt to derail the thread you are posting it in and also deemed as a backseat moddy type post.

This thread is the heads up and your only preemptive warning, after this I will begin handing out 1 day bans to all users I see posting that way and will double the ban each time they repeat the behavior, 2 days for the second time, 4 days for the third, 8 days for the fourth etc.

Have a nice day!

Smart asses posting "/thread" in this thread will be banned in an excessive fashion, lol.

You da man Poozy.

Speaking of shitty 1 word posts. Is "lol/lmao/rofl" bannable. Because if not they certainly should be.

Just like anything else it depends on the context it is used in but generally speaking I am referring to the users that think they are funny by posting a sarcastic one liner and then appending "/thread" or more so the users that just post "/thread".

I suggest that you guys just refrain from it all together because the regular user doesn't have the power nor the authority to end a thread and it just comes across as backseat modding most of the time.

Of course not because we actually can end a thread, lol.

On word posts such as those have always been and forever will be bannable as they add nothing to any conversation and are plus one posts.

Why don't you guys help us and link this thread in your sigs? That your fellow users that aren't on at the moment can get the heads up. We're not looking to ban anybody, we just want to keep this place fun and looking good.

Oh and also guys, when you see a user posting "/thread", don't flame them in the thread because of this thread. Just ignore the post and let us handle it. You flaming the user will only serve to exacerbate the situation and further derail the thread and may end up getting you banned as well.

Oh another question.

Most of the time people say it when replying to what someone else has put as a one wors post. But other times when I see people posting "/thread" it's usually after they themselves have written up an explanation to some thread and then complete their post with the offending word.

Will you still be banning them too, even though they have actually responded to the thread well, just ruined it at the end?

PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW!

I already addressed that question. But to further clarify I append that it is NEVER a good idea to post "/thread". Regular users don't have the power nor the authority to end threads and nine times out of ten someone is going to post after you. In short, it's stupid and annoying. Also, presumptuous and a backseat moddy type post.

Thankyou so much.

I was getting mega sick of seeing that shit.

Good riddance I say!

For the confused and/or defiant, this is actually old news.

thanks Sawdust
