I frequently have been a dupe nazi. I don’t know why there is always a drive to be the first person to post a link and yell dupe. Perhaps because it gives the typical member the power rush of almost having Mod like powers to lock a thread. But due to recent discussions, I decided to approach it differently. I know first hand with even as much time as I spend on here it is possible to miss things. Also, if the last time something was posted was a year ago, there is a good chance that a lot of new people have not seen it. So what do I do now, and have been doing recently? I post a link. Simple as that. I see a dupe and I post a link to the largest thread that that particular thread is a dupe of. I do not yell dupe. I do not post dupe pictures. I simply post a link. If the mods then deem it has been repetitive enough, or recent enough to lock it, then that is their business. Otherwise, I have now provided a link to more information about the current topic. So if you post a topic, and I post a link to another thread of the same subject, don’t get pissy with me and call me a dupe nazi. I am providing you a link to more information about your topic. If the mods lock it, talk to them. Thank You. |
Yeah, but I'm not going to be an ass about it anymore.  ETA I cannot beleive that the first responce to thred thread was not "DUPE". |
Is that a dupe misspelling? 
|
Thanks. That thread caused this thread.

It is really sad that someone has to have someone elses post locked just to feel they have power over another.[sarcasm]Why not go get a dog,you can yell at them and watch them cower in the corner,I'm sure you would get a huge power rush from that.[/sarcasm] |
Hey, man....I was just being silly. No offense taken. I did miss the other thread, but I was just being goofy with my post. No hard feelings? 
|
No hard feelings. Sorry if I was a little harsh in that IM. I was not sure if you were kidding or not, but I was figuring not, I figured wrong. So I just decided I would post this to let people know I am not trying to ba an ass and dupe everybody, I am trying to give you more info on your question/topic, or if the mods decide to lock it, the URL is already posted for them.

You're just jealous because you don't have a real LOCK button...  ANdy |
