You guys suck, listen to me.

This has obviously been going on for a while, but I feel as though the propensity of shit-tier meandering on this subforum has risen in recent times. I don't mean to be the old-timer always talking about how the past was better, because we realistically always had shit here, I'm just saying it's getting harder to ignore. So, I'm going to layout some rules that you should look at before you post a thread. Why should you follow them? Because I am better than you. 1) [b]No shitty shitposts[/b] There is a such thing as a quality shitpost, of which I have created many which you can view under #shitpostparty2k15. This is the kind of shitpost you want to make, in order to be a good shitposter. [i]As in, if you see a meme, find it funny, and immediately make a thread copying exactly what the meme had said, you obviously have the aptitude of a monkey and should not be posting.[/i] 2. [b]Invite actual discussion in your threads. [/b] This requires you to do two things before you make a thread: [i]spend more than 30 seconds making it[/i] and [i]consider what some possible responses could be while making it so you can better respond to them and continue the discussion.[/i] You can find excellent examples of this under #postswithoutshit. 3. [b]Have an actual personality.[/b] If all you are is a spam hungry Mongolian, you a very immediately forgettable, and you serve no purpose in discussion or to the community. This includes that stupid "wort" gimmick and people who literally just copy and paste memes for threads. Try to actually be apart of the community, not just dissolve it to being shittier. For examples of a great personality, look under #doortime. 3.5. [b]Stop spamming stupid shit.[/b] Yes, I get it, the 57 lines of random emoji's are so fuсking hilarious, but try to actually talk about something for once. 4. [b]Stop trying to do shit people have already done[/b] Hard right and hard left politics, science and religion, ethical dilemmas, etc. all that shit-tier trolling has been done before and only works on the most idiotic people. Be creative. Try to troll someone with a huge brain like me. 5. [b]There is no 5, but I'll use the space to reiterate. TL;DR: You guys absolutely suck at being interesting. Stop trying to meme yourselves and try to be an actual community.[/b]

  • Very well put. I tried doing something like this a few months back, unfortunately, it got very little traction and just about no one took it seriously since the entire thread was written to sound sarcastic as all shit. However, considering the average intelligence of most of the newer users, it didn't even surprise me that half the people took it seriously, 4 people got the actual message of the post, and the rest just sat there like like half the people here who are saying "lol jus don go on teh site kek" And if I may, I'd like to add to your statement by saying can we please get rid of the current fad of people just trying to be the biggest shitheads on the internet? Of course, I mean that in the sense of people talking like they're a goddamn 12 year old who was struck by a car, and furthermore, in the sense of people offending people for the sake of offending people. I know that the demographic for this site is pretty young, but many of these people have at least been to high school and should actually try to form proper sentences instead of being "lolsorandom" and what they consider "funny". I guess that last statement can kind of go hand-in-hand with this one, because why the -blam!- do people still post shit like stupid troll attempts of people saying stuff like either "-blam!- christianity" or "metal is shit and everyone who listens to it is shit" and subsequently making themselves look like the primeval apes we evolved from who are bescumbering this site. But here's the scary part... some people actually think like this... I don't believe I need to continue with this statement. You can already think about how that needs to stop yourself. I know you pretty much covered that kind of behavior with one of your points, I just thought I'd go a bit specific on two current stigmas that bother the hell out of me.
