Thread: HOLY REPOST BATMAN >>> can we suspend this for one week?

    HOLY REPOST BATMAN >>> can we suspend this for one week?

    ok, i'm not trying to step on anybody's feet right now, but the whole grammer police and hrb thing is getting to be really annoying. so all i'm asking is that you refrain from letting the entire community know that the same thing was posted 6 months ago for just one week. and then you can go all go back to being post nazis.

    can we do that, please?

    OK, no more repost nazis.
    From now on all repetive posts will be the responsability of the "Duplicate Post Police". The DPP is a more caring and responsive group wanting to protect the comunity from the threat of repetative postings.
    We are only here to make you safe.

    the whole idea that someone is going to police your thread for reposted info is insane.

    obviously the person didn't see it the first time, and the likelihood that another person had missed it as well is quite high. and nobody is going to do a search everytime they want to post soemthing just to make sure it isn't a repost. so for the 4 or 5 people who read every single thread and then have a fantastic memory for details, maybe you should think before you hrp a thread that others may not have seen it yet as well, and might enjoy it before you crap on it.

    Not only is she the Nazi Nazi she is also a Spelling Nazi.

    Where did I claim to be hyper-observant? I just object to others controlling my behavior.
    styleee, you have adapted quickly to the dark side of the force...

    I disagree. IF it was a typo, the it IS rather amusing, in a sick, dark, Cable Guy kind of way.

    I just don't think it was.

    grammer error NO
    capitalization error YES

    *beyond the fact that the whole Nazi Nazi thing is completely uncalled for and unsubstantiated.

    Wait, after this haitus, can we atleast do a little Policing?

    This is my reasoning. If we can stick to only the most egregious spelling and grammar mistakes, would that be alright? I just hate trying to decipher something that makes almost no sense.

    And as for the Reposting, I have a problem when the reposts are on the same page, only 1 or 2 spots from each other. I know what you're saying about some people missing something, but when it is right next to another post on the same subject, that's pretty bad.

    I always have and always will, however, point out when something is being reposted. This is not meant to ridicule the poster; it is only meant to inform them of an earlier post on the same subject matter. That way, especially if it is a question, they have the ability to see more responses. In my experience, people ususally don't respond to the same topic twice.
    It is not enough to merely touch the face of god; you also must open your eyes so that you may see your palm.

    Well if it wasnt a question, then leave them alone. Telling them it was a repost doesnt help at all.

    It it was a question, then direct them to the post if you are trying to be so "helpful".

    This just reminded my of the old time Pinkertons. When strike's first started, companies would hire the Pinkertons in large numbers. They would just go and slaughter the strikers.



    Not sure how it applies here, just felt i needed to share the knowledge .
