This means if someone posts - "I had toast for breakfast" - then you should NOT post "I had XXX for XXX"

Doing so will result in a warning/banning.

This is considered SPAMMING THE FORUMS and will not be tolerated. This is also something I take personal offense at, since it is neither funny nor a good use of resources. This also has led to a lot of grief placed on the original post author. It's not that persons fault that others copy them and they will not be held accountable anymore.

I have ZERO problem with the original thread and people joking about it within that thread, but when people start slapping up topic after topic along the same pointless line, it will cost them.

I added this to the forum rules so there's no excuses. [=D]

I thought it was done well when one guy posted he used his AR15 tonight blasting away into the air at perps in a pickup truck.

Then when someone posted that they were trying to return a guys lost dog and all of a sudden he started blasting away in the air with an AR15.

It was just well done.

I agree, I thought about that one too when this was posted. That was a pretty clever post- I assumed this was more for the "I cut my thumb"/"I electrocuted myself" stuff.

Hey I LOVE toast...

Yeah it's more about the "I electrocuted myself today" and "I got killed by my lawn mower today" type posts.

Obviously this will be in the hand of the mods to differentiate between quality posts and spam ones.

Posted: 6/16/2002 10:17:49 AM EDT

I hope the mods will look favorably upon the "based upon threads" such as the "jetski DGU" spawning the "coming under fire for returning the dog" thread. That was high quality and just FUNNY. It definitely added to the list of "forum legends".
I hope, I hope. [:D]

So I'm curious if this scenario violates this rule:

Someone started a thread titled "How about 2-stroke motors????" I was thinking of starting a new thread titled "Ladies, how about 2-stroke husbands????" Would this get me banned? Or would I get a Tony Award for Best Ar15.Com Comedian?

Posted: 6/16/2002 10:29:41 AM EDT

I was going to post a question about attack of the clones, but I guess I will just keep it to myself now.....

Posted: 6/16/2002 10:47:48 AM EDT

ROFL

I think that the 2-stroke husbands would be looked upon in a humorous and "legendary" fashion... if someone bitched about that one, I would kick their arse myself until they grew a sense of humor!

I for one thought the "I killed/injured myself in various ways" posts hysterical. I had been having a bad day at the office, but when I read those, I laughed myself silly. Much better than a lot of the "serious" posts that I have read here.

Does the word "bribe" mean anything to you?? [;)]

Posted: 6/16/2002 10:52:59 AM EDT

One or two of the "i died" threads were funny, but about 12 of them sucked hard core...

If you recall I locked all but 3 of them which included the original and 2 funny ones.

This doesn't mean that funny SPAM is acceptable, just saying a few people got lucky. [=D]

Please leave the humor for the professionals. You'all get hurt if you're not careful with the humor. It's all fun and games 'til someone puts an eye out.

Posted: 6/16/2002 8:23:29 PM EDT

With all due respect, Paul, the [b]real[/b] fun and games begin when a lovely lady puts a breast out. [;D]

Posted: 6/17/2002 12:26:05 AM EDT

Posted: 6/17/2002 8:06:47 AM EDT

I was in Kentucky Fried Chicken» the other night when I noticed the lady next to me had some nice looking breasts...I asked her If I could taste one and she seemed kinda offended...So I asked if I could taste one of her legs instead...badumpump

edited for taste...or lack thereof

That was me stating that the thread was a spam topic. I thought the [s]bright[/s] ARFcom Moderator Army would catch on. Oh well. [grenade]

Goat boy, I hope your peeve is now arrested. Line up your Mods for a shake down, and make sure the quarters bounce.

haha.......[:D]

Posted: 6/17/2002 4:22:53 PM EDT

Sometimes I play with the TV and push the buttons...

???

I don't mean this to be anything new, I seriously dont have a problem with the fun topics in here, in fact I LOVE them! But, when they spawn 10-20 of the same crap, it gets old quick... [=D]

Stop talkin about breasts already, yer makin me hungry. [=(]

Posted: 6/17/2002 4:48:40 PM EDT

I hope that I didn't cause all this fuss because of my "I just electrocuted myself" thread.

I had just finished reading about how somebody(I forget who) had hurt themself, and I went to the other side of our basement and I [u]really[/u] did shock myself...immediately afterwards I thought of the thread I had just read...[thinking]

Once again, I am sorry if I am the one who started all of this.

Posted: 6/17/2002 6:07:23 PM EDT

I would really not like to lose "ComputerGuy's" (I think) remarkable posts concerning self-mutilation !!

C. Guy's "I-left-the-iron-on-and-then-burned-over-90%-of-my-body" topic was priceless.

Last time, several of the members were collecting money so that C. Guy could go to Home Despot on a power tool shopping spree !

I think we need to limit the posts about Israel to 1 a week myself.

Also limit the religious ones too.
