Behind you. With a lead pipe.
Default People making vague threads.

This has to stop.

This has started to happen more in SG lately and it is annoying as fuck. Now, I'm not really one to suggest harsh censorship or thread locking/moving but something has to be done. It's not hard to put effort into your posts. Examples with say W&C being the forum in question:


Good subjects for new posts look like this:

What are the most compact 16oz boxing gloves?
How tall are the split seams on <insert brand>?

Bad subjects for new posts look like this:

boxing gloves
question about shorts
hey, help me out!


Once you've chosen the subject for you post, make sure you give us all the details people need to help you out or in the case of SG actually make decent discussion. Let's say you want to know what size gear to get and you've looked everywhere for a size chart, but you can't find one (by everywhere I mean on the manufacturers site, on the sites of people that sell it, google) so you've chosen a subject like, “Help me figure out the right size <brand name> <product name>.” Within the post give us the pertinent information, in this case, measure your head. So the post should look something like:



My head is 7391” around. Can anyone help me figure out what size I need?


It shouldn't look like this:

My head is about average I guess.


You should give us all the information we need to answer you in your very first post. Same with SG - put a little effort into your discussion. It's not hard and frankly it's getting fucking tiresome. It's a discussion board but it seems more people are concerned with thumbing their ass and hoping everyone else will post something of interest.

I'd rather have a million vague useless threads than one single Toothlessjoe thread.

Exactly, you will notice there are 2 types of toothlessjoe thread - the complaining one, and the attempt at being sauve and sophisticated one.

Both are shit.

The above ad hominem bullshit tends to obscure the fact that OP makes a valid point.

Far too many posters do so without thought.

Oh really
I find this amusing as toothless has made his share of shitty threads and posts

So what if people wanna have some lulz and do it in a retarded way

It's like fucking grammer nazi's on this site
some people just dont fucking care
if you dont like it dont fucking read it
if you dont like the poster fucking hit the ignore button

The op is simply butthurt over the negative attention he has been recieving in the last couple of months
on top of the fact he will never be a mod if a certain someone has he way .

The deal in these vague/lulzy threads is that many people choose to garner attention by simply posting some random/shocking/nekkid bullshit. The kind of shit Zek pulls off is what Toothless is getting at. It's not a fucking blog either.


On a side note, what the fuck is up with people misspelling grammar? Also, you forgot to add apostrophes :p

One thing that annoys me, is when people post something with an interesting title, but it just turns out to be a question thread.

For example:

"Making Stained Glass"

When the title should be:

"How to Make Stained Glass?"


However, as annoying as it is, the question generally tends to get answered by the subsequent posters.
