Animation Source Forums

I've noticed that a lot of people double post in their threads, like 10 minutes after they created it. It's not like anyone has to post in it! It just angers me when people deliberately double post, and I'm starting to think no one cares anymore, about the rules.

On to my next rant, which is sort of combined with the last one, people will post one line comments in about every topic they post in. I automatically think that they just want to boost their post count. If you have something to say, say it! Don't just post because you feel like posting.

And another thing, most locked topics are locked for a bonified reason, but a minority of them aren't Some topics are jus locked because some moderators feel like locking it. I know, I've seen it happen, and the mod has acted like it too. Please don't think this is an attack on all mods, it isn't. If you guys lock this, I guess this really proves my point then...

I've noticed people doing that myself,and it upsets me when I accidently double post.

Well, SF, I'm not saying it is entirely bad to double post. Because, sometimes, your computer freaks out, and hits the "Post" button twice. But, I'm talking about when people deliberately post twice.

Yesh that is annoying but, their isn't much to do about it..

I know there isn't much we can do about it, but people realy need to shape up, and learn how to have patience. I don't know, this is probably more of a complaint, but I know it bothers other members, I'm not the only one being driven to the edge by this am I?

The double posting will get annoying, but It doesnt really bother me unless it's common with certain people on the site. There is a delet and edit button for those reasons though as well.

True, and I wonder why people don't use those two buttons. Do they just not feel like editing their post, or deleting it? I don't know, I don't know what goes on in people on Balto Source's heads any more, the more rude and harsh members anyways. Sometimes I even consider leaving, but, I'm going to stick it out, I have too many friends here to leave.

Woot, good for you. And i think alot of the ppl that double post may be new and don't know how to use thoes buttons, or maybe they have a slow connection and think the comp isn't working and keep clicking the 'submit' button, therefore ending in a double post. I've had issues silimar to that before. Not internet, my comp's just retarded lol.

True, very true. I've had issues with that myself, but I guess, what bugs me most is when the older members do it. And they do it intentionally. I've even seen mods that do it over and over. And it's not the same post when they double post, it's different. It should't even be an exception for mods because they are supposed to enforce the rules, not break the rules and act as if they are all powerful and rules don't apply to them. (Again, I'm not talking about ALL mods.)

I've never seen that, but I can't say it doesn't happen. I don't think it's because they think they're all 'powerful' or whatnot. People make mistakes, it's simple, we're not perfect. But deleting the double post wouldn't hurt too.

I think one worded replies in topics are a bit annoying. There's always more to say than 'Cool' or 'cute'! etc...Always.

I know, even if it's a just a fanart picture, you could say;

'Cool!' or 'Cute!'
or
'Cool! I love the colours, and you did a great job on the eyes!'

Even if you don't mean it, which I always do, but still, it's better and has much more meaning than 'Cool!' XD

Exactly, its a bit uncreative and boring, but that won't stop it from happening more. In the end we should probably be grateful they decided to put a comment at all.

I hate it when people double post. <_< And then there's sometimes when a forum mod will tell them not double posting, but not delete it. That kinda annoys me a bit. <_< One word posts are probably one of the most annoying things that I see (that and posts that are all emoticons). They are pointless.

I also don't really like it when topics are locked and there is no flame war going on. If there isn't a flame war and no one is doing anything wrong, why lock it?
