Some of you guys make me laugh.....

[floriokie]

There are so many of you that post responces to threads on here that make me laugh and shake my head....

there are so many times on here that someone posts a thread to start a conversation about the Dolphins
and are expecting good discussion but, all they get from too many people on here is BS...

instead of commenting on the topic, people will go off topic, say something negative about the poster, etc..

and then the thread is screwed up and so far off topic that it is not worth reading or responding....

:idk:

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooook.

 

[Rev Kev]

Ummm..... thanks

 

[fishfanmiami]

That's the charm of this site bro. You just never know where a thread may lead..

Yeah. I think you pretty much provided the definition of a forum. Mind you, i did not allege good forum or bad forum. But a forum nonetheless.

fo·rum
ˈfôrəm/
noun
1.
a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

Strange.

That's not the definition that I found.

Best described as a torrent of little children running around in a minefield (users), some armed with weapons (moderators), forums are the flagship of internet discussion, spam, and flame wars.
Smaller forums tend to be more habitable, but the larger ones have many distinct and similar features. For example, within approximately seven seconds of the creation of a topic, you will have at least one reply, garunteed. Large forums also tend to spawn makeshift caste systems within themselves, and you're automatically a malefactor in the forum until you have a 4-digit post count.
A forum can sometimes be helpful, but normally they become a time consuming and frustrating thing if you pay too much attention to them.

I got banned from that forum for being a n00b.

Sorry but depending upon the negative capital already accumulated, "shooting of the messenger" is sometimes the most fitting reaction. :idk:

I know what the definition of a forum is.....but when you don't stick to the topic that someone brings up, that defeats the purpose of the forum.....

Oh, and just FYI...my initial post was not a compliment

The problem with your OP is it assumes that every poster who originates a post does it with good intentions, which is not the case.

But, thank you for your post which gave me and I'm sure others a good laugh for its naivety.

Holy ****, this changes everything.

I dont get the big deal. 1 guy starts the forum with a topic that leads to something that leads to something else and so on. Any thread you read over 3 or 4 pages is generally off topic but still somewhat related.

:

To an innocent bystander this may appear the case but sometimes said poster may have garnered a reputation either positive or negative that elicits an immediate reaction from the regular posters here.
The BS reaction you speak of in many cases is justified.

If a poster has started numerous threads about the same subject ... lets say 30 posts and polls on Tannehill's stats for example. One might question the need for a 31st and the motive behind it :idk:

When you consider that the following was posted in this thread by a moderator, it's not difficult in my opinion to ascertain why.

Strange.
