So I'm here, minding my own business, when I come across this thread:
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,29960.0.html
...Kie got his posts cut cause he was...er...'flexing'...And it hit me...Just how many posts does Cobra have? Sure he's a newbie (only 2 and a half/3 months), so I decide to see how many posts he has.
...Low and behold...I checked his post count...5852 posts[/u]...in 2.5 months
*Is in awe*
...um...is there anyway to make him...not...post some much (considering that alot if not most of it is just mindless spam..."Can I join this project" "Look what I can make!!!" "I'ma gonna release a cool campaign one day."
:hopping:
...Sorry...needed to vent that...Exams...stress...and him being...not of the intelligent kind (go to WS and go to Hamunaptra to see his 'first' thread...you'll see what I mean...)
...So...ya...this is mindless spamming...my bad...
*leaves to go somewhere else*
Apologies...the admins may lock this thread at will...
-
The admins are having fun Cor. ;)
-
*sigh*
...newbies will be newbies...but trolls end up six feet under...a bridge.
I'm done...
-
he actually has 800 some :p
I thought it was odd too, but I used the "find all posts by this user" button, then came to the conclusion that it was all the admins fault...
-
...If Cobra was spamming at 70 odd posts a day, YOU WOULD NOTICE IT without even needing to look at his count. C'mon, man. Think, then post.
-
I was slightly afraid for a minute. It would have been slightly disturbing if he had more posts in under 3 months than I've had in almost 4 years....
-
Simple:
Cobra post up = Cobra shut up
(I hope)
:p
-
I even took a screen shot of that post. I though it was just too funny when you read through the signature.
Cheers!
-
How nice we are to newbies.
-
Eh?
-
I wish the admins would stop playing with people's digital penises. It always makes people very angry. :p
-
< Checks his Digital Penis >
Looks about the right size so far :D
-
...When the hell did I make 8800 posts? :wtf:
-
Mine is holding steady. But yeah, it's really cruel how the Admin's cut off kie's.
-
Same here...........
*puts a defense network around his post count*
-
Could be a system error, since Kie's post count is still zero, even though he has posted since that point.... Hmmmm.....
Edit ; I've got it! It's Goober! He's had our avatars, now our post counts are joining the collective.... :nervous:
-
ROFLMFAO!! (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/forums/images/smilies/wakka.gif)
-
mine should actually be higher, but i messed with it myself when i was an admin, and it got put back later on, so now i have no idea what me real post count is.
-
Well a lot of them went down when the old inactive hosted forums got deleted... I had just broken 3k and then lost about 100
-
I demand my postcount be changed to "Expired"!
-
i want t3h admins to put my postcount to 0 and degrade me to an apollo! :D
-
One does not simply...ask...for their postcount to be changed....
-
Mine was about 11K.
Now it's like 3K.
****ing ****s.
-
why not?
Can mine be "Why do you care?"
-
I probably lost quite a few when GTD Wolf got deleted. Also, the original Node Wars forum.
-
:wtf: ==> (http://www.maj.com/gallery/Corhellion/Stuff/cobra_wtfness.jpg)
*Seagull pokes its head in*
Spam!
-
*ugh*
Idiots.
-
Cor, the admins changed his actual post to that, they are having fun with people. He isn't doing anything wrong, and now we not only have him getting flamed in his own threads, but we are actually creating threads to flame him in.
Back off guys. he isn't doing anything wrong.
-
I have observed two things from this thread:
1a) You guys can't take a joke;
or
1b) You guys aren't smart or observant enough to get the joke. :rolleyes:
and
2) You'll seize any excuse, even a completely baseless one, to flame someone.
It was a bit of harmless fun and you guys had a ridiculous, completely-out-of-proportion reaction. This does not reflect well on the community.
Posts recalculated. I think you guys owe Cobra an apology.
-
You know, I totally missed all this hoo ha before, but thank's to Cor it's hilarious. BTW until Goober mentioned it was a joke I was like totally believing it... Sad huh? :D
APOLLO 4 LIFE!!!
-
Well, I have to say that when my post dropped to 0, I panicked and got really mad :o Oh well, glad it was a joke :)

Well certainly, I do apologize to the young one. But I cannot create any scenario where this shenanigan was funny...
-
Yey! I got back all the posts Thunder stole!
I'm still down about 1K from the deletion of the NW forum though. ****ers.
-
[Looks at my Post Count and Join Date]
Ugh... :doubt: Rampage Sr. didn't post a lot and surely didn't spam.
I just don't have the time anymore...
-
You guys really oughtn't care about postcounts this much. I'm tempted to just remove them if you can't handle them there. :no:
-
How about reset yours for a week admins? :p
For a *Joke*
-
@Goob: I don't. I never attacked him to begin with.
-
I can't figure out why they matter so much. I rarely look at them at all. But I guess I don't post that often.
-
I guess post counts are a type of an achievement.
A declaration to how strong a part of the community you are. (or curse to the community :p )
I remember when I reached 1000... I had a quite "Yes!" to myself. :)

I think so too :nod: I've been celebrating (alone) every time I hit round number :p
:cool:
-
Oh boy. I'm with Steak here - seriously tempted to remove post counts from the profile.

They're just frusterated cause you guys are changing their post sizes and theres NOTHING they can do about it. :ha:
They should be more concered about the quality of their post though.........
-
Hmm... all this gives me an idea.
-
Please don't. Some of us like having post counts but don't go overboard about it.

Spam!
:lol:
nice one.. trust me, you would notice if somebody made themselves to be a postwhore.
eh, i'm not one to care about postcounts, so i really wouldn't care. :nod:
nice gag adminy guys.. i'd prefer to see the word filters played with than postcounts.. but that's just me. :p
-
I sense this thread closing very very soon...........

Appreciated, but some people can't be responsible about it.

I actually closed it when I first posted, but then I reopened it in hopes that everyone could clear things up and perhaps calm down. Instead, it's turned from a flame war into an argument. :rolleyes:
-
How about we bring in custom avatars for the everyday user... :)
*asks hopelessly*

Har, har. You shall remain hopeless. :p

Damn you!
I assume it's the same Cobra that just joined Warpstorm......:no: :no: :no:

you've already got two avatars you greedy little git! :p
-
Just curious, how many ranks are there (thingy above location or avatar if you have one) and what are they? :p

Yes.
-
That....could be messy :nervous:
-
Could be worse, he could register at penguinbomb. :lol:
-
Damnit I;m sick of being lumped in with the 'cant take a joke' ers, just because I posted in a thread by them. :P
<-- Has yet to flame Cobra (much)
-
You'll probs need to go to the stores for more Ethanol after ol' Peckerhead ;)
Meh, I even cracked a joke in this thread, at least Krackers saw it :D

I always thought I had an account over there. Must've been a drunken moment.
-
*laughs*
Slight paraphrase:
"If you were to find a grammar mistake by me, it would be very rare."
Yeah, right, and I'm the god of FREDing...
-
What are the "ranks" here, anyway? I've had a title (or two) from just about day 1, so I never really went through that entire cycle.

Wow. Some of you guys ARE asses :p.
-
And proud of it too! :D
We have a system of flaming the worst offenders, but sometimes they just self-ignite, and you have to give up....
-
*nods@Claves post*
Tis true...
And to those people who stick up for Cobra...just...read it...
http://warpstorm.com/community/index.php?topic=7433.0
Carry on!

I don´t mean to throw another logg into the fire, but i noticed that albeit Cobra registered months after i did, he already has way more posts than i do. And i consider myself a pretty good poster/spammer! I wonder what that says about this?
:p :p

He has more to say then you do.
My DropShipCommand account has more posts then most of the admins there do, but I've never been accused of spamming. Some people just have more to say or a broader interest in the topics the forum covers in its various little sub-forums.

Your point? I'll stick up for anyone when certain people make jackasses of themselves trying **** with said person *HINT*HINT*. :)
@Clave: I saw nothing in that thread to warrant mass flaming.
Thread proceeds as follows:
-Cute kitties are posted
-Comments made
-Comment made by Cobra with a slightly...funny error
-Comment made on error
-Cobra makes excuse
-Flaming commences with, and I quote, "but you're still a dumbass"
-Cobra makes (admittedly) somewhat stupid statement
-Flames piled upon Flames begin pouring in.
:doubt:

Welcome to Warpstorm.

Out of context but:
WHAT THE HELL IS A CASTRATION MACHINE?!?
*fills pool with popcorn* AWESOME! I'M SWIMMING IN POPCORN!!
whassamatter? just cos i'm 14 doesn't mean i can have some fun in forums? i mean, LOOK AT MY ****ING LANGUAGE!!!
*audience: jerry, jerry, jerry, jerry!*
i know what urethra means. thank you, though, for filling my head with disturbing images. besides, he used A ****ING DRILL to get under my tooth. and because of that, the adult tooth that was supposed to come out straight came out crooked. the guy actually lost his job and office, since the place was DIRTY AND HAD UNSANITARY RESTROOMS.
er, uh, um... ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!!!! WAHHHAAAHHAA!!!!!!
Also, we just didn't like him so....:ha: :drevil:
-
This is why we don't need flaming here. That's what you do at Warpstorm.
-
@Clave: Then flame him when he spams (probably shouldn't, though). Not whenever he doesn't post spam.
Although, yes, that is rather...excessive.
-
He has been quiet lately....;)
-
To be fair, HLP hasn't been all that newbie friendly of late either. In fact it reminds me of the Clan Lord forums.
-
There is a time and a place for flaming. That time and place is not what I saw. You want something to flame, go wander around fanfiction.net for awhile and get it out of your friggin' system. They need the flames. Cobra doesn't.
-
I'm really disappointed in the flaming of late. Guess it's time to bring out the good ole Hammer... or the Crushing Cudgel of VBB Justice. Either would be better, right now.
-
Shut your festering gob, you tit! You type REALLY makes me puke, you vacuous
toffee-nosed malodorous pervert!
-
Python is great! :D
-
*sigh*
*looks at the spam thread he's created*
...me and me big mouth...
*leaves thread*
-
You know I dont even think he looks in this forum....otherwise hed have at least 15 posts in this thread already...
-
come on guys he's actually trying. maybe some of the people here can cut him a break.
-
Hey I just had a thought for Anon's HLP card game. Item of Power "Dead frozen Goat of Justice" aka "Hammer of Justice" - With this item you can choose one of the following, Ban opposing player for 3 turns, close any thread, blah blah blah... Ok I'm done... Thanks for the inspiration STEAK!
-
*Agrees with ShadowWolf_IH
-
Indeed...I didn't intend on this to reduce to a flame-war
...I was just...puzzled why the admins would do that...
*shrugs*
just wasn't my place...
Apologies to the admins/mods for causing a rucus....I'll take the blame for everyones flames in this thread...
*puts blind fold on*
You may fire when ready
-
Bah, its no fun when you're willing to take it ;)
*puts down rifle

Okay guys, that's enough. Post counts have been returned to their original states, the joke is over. We now return you to your regularly scheduled viewing.
