[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Rob Stucco [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 There is a difference between a bad, stupid, idiotic thread and a thread that "technically" violates the rules and something that any given forum ninja is willing to ban, lock, and warn for. I would give specific examples, but, as I said before, that would violate TU's rule and risk me losing my shiny dull-grey title bar.[/quote]Still, if those threads see no replies, the person making them is generally going to be more discouraged than if members call it out for being dumb. All that leads to is another argument. There are also some people who are really just looking for attention, positive or not.[/quote]You're never going to get a situation in which everyone is smart enough to ignore a stupid thread. And if 45 of the 51 posts in your brand spankin' new hot-topic thread are telling you that your ideas, posts, and thread(s) are stupid, incoherent, and/or nonsense, and you aren't even a little motivated to change your ways then you're clearly a troll who gets off on seeing people dislike you and you're an unsalvagably lost cause. (And I do not think anyone on this forum to be that.)
