I have noticed something. Can't Post

Upon completing my latest post, I came to this realization:


You are all hopeless losers.


In the event that the above post is deleted, here is a copy of it:


Quote
My god you suck sometimes Jindrak. Looks like you're the only one not laughing. My advice: Stick with Nad's rules, they're beautiful, refer to my description of spam, and learn to appreciate a bit of smart humor like cool vets are capable of doing, like Neo and Athlon for example. Unlike the retardation that passes for humor among you and your friends. "Penis." It's sad what Runescape can do to you. And it's blind mods like you that make simple enjoyment impossible on this pathetic site. Screw you.



To better understand where I am coming from, here is my explanation of "Humorless":


Quote
They are people who don't know how to appreciate humor on the Internet properly. Common traits of "Humorless" are as follows:


  • Inability to comprehend any joke not involving sex.
  • Repeating successful humor over and over because they can't come up with their own. This usually makes the person who started it look bad. For example, retarded online gamers everywhere are constantly screaming "BOOM, HEADSHOT" and "LEEEEEROOOY" so now FPS Doug and Leeroy are beginning to look just as retarded as them.
  • Having a humor vocabulary consisting mainly of pie, monkey, cheese, penis, buttsecks, goat, llama, and for some reason, TazG.
  • Taking intelligent humor too seriously and getting angry about it.
  • Inability to understand the difference between entertainment and immaturity. (I think Java Code and Muchuchu would be the best examples of the last two.)



    Quote
    Don't post threads about what you and your friends did last night. Don't post things on the Internet that are "cool" or "funny" to you and "you'd have to be there" to really appreciate it. The Internet doesn't really care.


    Quote
    Nadkicker is just cool somehow. But we don't want to read "funny" logs from Aroy's stupid Runescape IRC about someone making stupid sex jokes. Get a real sense of humor, people.


    Quote
    I think Mr. Kasaki Nakasakau put it best when he said, "HI MY NAME IS GENERIC FGF USER LOL LLAMA GOAT CHEESE PUBES I AM RANDOM LOL INTERNET SERIOUS BUSINESS BUTTSECKS INTERNET LOL RUNESCAPE FAGOT SEMIN SMALL PENIS LOL".


    The goal of the "Anti-Humorless" is to bring back true Internet entertainment to FGF, to identify all Humorless, call them out and charge them all with a life that is a lie.

  • (http://forum.free-games.com.au/cgi-bin/gforum.cgi?post=909887#909887)


    Lately, I have settled upon the sad conclusion that the so-called "Anti-Humorless" have set an unreachable goal. Not only is it impossible to enjoy good humor, it's impossible to enjoy anything of any entertainment value, because of the general population's intolerance of it or simply their inability to understand it.


    At this point we are basically dominated by 3 types of people here:

  • The Antdood type, who think they're bringing something of value to us but just flood us with topics all the time that are terrible excuses for entertainment.
  • The trolls, who waste their time by saying things that have no purpose but to piss everyone off and derail threads.
  • The Humorless, described above.

    Another growing crowd of people are those who have lost hope. They casually post here and there and get some small, strange enjoyment out of seeing how pathetic most of the others are. Those who would have made it less pathetic are mostly among the ones who have lost hope. So even if they tried to make this forum somewhat worthwhile, there would be no one around to appreciate it. They would either be unnoticed due to the floods from the Antdood type, or get Trolled to oblivion, or get a Humorless response.

    And now, I have decided to announce that I have joined this crowd. I'll still mod the forums, heck, maybe I'll even get around to updating fgftools, but all in all you will not see much of me.

    Because you're hopeless losers.

    Thanks for reading.

    Edit: I'd like it noted that the last time I've used that "penis" thing to even remotely qualify for humor was in Apr '06, not exactly recent.

    I cleaned that thread at the request of the creator, not because I felt like pissing you off.

    Why do you take things like that so personally? I would have deleted pretty much anything he wanted out of his thread, your posts were pretty pointless, even you have to agree with that, I see nothing wrong with deleting them. Was it because I said "Taz gtfo"? I meant that to be light-hearted, not like a freaking attack. The fact I used terrible grammar should have keyed that off.

    Exactly. "And it's blind mods like you that make simple enjoyment impossible on this pathetic site." You would do anything on a single request and blindly follow your interpretation of a rule with no lenience, while at the same time people can sit around bickering about who scammed someone or converse endlessly about some pointless shit about buttsecks.

    I'm sorry to break it to you but you're the one taking this personally. This is not a personal attack on you. It was your action that made me realize how pointless, in general, it is to attempt to get value out of using this forum. But not your action alone, of course. You just helped me realize the horrid state this whole forum is in. No defense or apology from you can change that, as it has hardly anything to do with you.

    Wow, taking things out of context. If a thread's creator asks me to delete something in his thread which does not contribute to the topic, why shouldn't I? If he/she finds an off-topic post in his topic to be ok, then I won't delete it. I don't see anything wrong with that.

    Jin that was not taken out of context. If you read more closely I said "you would do anything on a single request" and you went on to explain that you would do exactly that. So you have proven my point, and obviously you don't understand it. I didn't expect you to though.

    If you are replying to the post I quoted, reply to it in the thread I posted it in, not this one. That was only used as an example. You can sit here and try to defend yourself all you want but it's a waste of time because it's not the point of this post at all. The point is to describe the general problem and why I have lost hope in getting around it. Little do you know that you're proving my point by failing to understand it.

    The reason I didn't reply to any of that in the post in the RS forum is, well, most of the problems you described about FGF in general are multiplied 10x in that one. Any hope at a serious discussion is lost if it's there.

    So, well...can't really think of anything to say. In response to the main topic of this thread, well, I'd think that was blatantly obvious. If Jammer were to stick around and listen intently to all of our (serious) posts, I'd think we could make the forum better, but, alas...

    It obviously isn't because you don't even understand what I meant when I called you a "blind mod" and how that contributes to the crappy state the forum is in.

    Jammer can't do anything anymore even if he listens to us. He already made the mistake of letting stupid forums gain popularity to grow the site for far too long. To him, more members was a good thing no matter who they were. And now we have too many bad members who have shaped the community and it's too late to go back and try to grow a good community by attracting people through other methods.
    In other words it's impossible to reshape the community by attracting different people because the current community makes everything unattractive.

    I am. I began the whole Humorless thing. I tried to take it all out because I felt it wasn't going anywhere but it seems to have stuck. Whatevah.

    Jindrak, I know you were just following what the thread creator asked, and he just wanted comments about his Cooking thing, but joking around should be allowed as well. A black-and-white forum rule is not what we should be about. I know you know that, so just clarifying what I think Taz thinks you did wrong.

    Taz, just because he followed what he thought was correct doesn't mean he doesn't know what good humor is. I've talked to him a lot and played Soldat with 'im and everything. He likes to screw around as much as the rest of us. Though we all are helpless losers. I think that's why we're still here in FGF.

    That's all I really have to say.

    Taz, just because he followed what he thought was correct doesn't mean he doesn't know what good humor is.

    Point is this though: "And it's blind mods like you that make simple enjoyment impossible on this pathetic site."
    Whether he is cool in person or on Soldat or whatever doesn't change that. But personally I haven't seen anything "funny" out of him besides humor like "Penis." And I'm so sick of seeing that everywhere.

    I thought you knew that by classifying someone as "humorless" we aren't saying they are completely incapable of enjoying good humor, because we don't know them in person. Like we don't think people spend all their time starting arguments just because they troll on forums. And if some president registered here we wouldn't let them be mods just because they're a president. What people do on and off the forum are usually completely different, but how they affect the forum is all I'm talking about. I'm talking about why the forum sucks. And if people don't want to accept that they're part of the reason, it's not my fault. I'm sick of putting things delicately. This is the way it is. We can't just sit here and say that the community would be wonderful if Jammer would just start listening to us. We have to blame ourselves.

    Yeah, I know. I wasn't attacking your argument on him being a Humorless. I personally don't think he is, based on what I know, but as I've said to you on MSN, I don't know enough about many on this forum to have the right to judge 'em.

    ^ I lol'd

    Any who, I don't know or really care bout the rest of Taz's thread, But he is right about the hopeless part. He's also right bout the strange sense of joy I still get from coming here. I guess it's something to fill the few empty hours left in my life...

    And like Taz, I still come here, make sure everything is in order, occasionally post, and leave. but even the small amount of time I used to throw out there to write some half-assed response to some less that genius thing someone said is slowly diminishing, and being taken over by what is now a passion of mine. Guitar playing.

    My advice to you Taz, even though you didn't ask for it; refine a real life hobby of yours until your pleased with your abilities. It helps to pass the time you would otherwise spend here nicely.

    My time here has been diminishing already from a couple hours to like a few 10 to 15 minute sessions throughout the day or something. Except when I'm at work and bored which could be more. I don't really need to develop a hobby to fill in the gaps since it never took a considerable amount of time out in the first place.

    You know what, ironically I see the opposite. People want to yell at stuff. They can't appreciate "fun". They only know how to get offended and criticize.

    "Lother isn't stapling his face to his desk anymore, SMI isn't bribing Jammer, M.G. isn't trying to appoint MM Mercer as mod, Xbot isn't going insane and asking for relationship advice, and people got bored."

    Sadly that's the truth. People want something to criticize rather than bringing real enjoyment to the forum. And now that all the sources of drama have faded away, there is nothing left to criticize and ruin except real enjoyment itself.

    And Jindrak, if you bow to these people's wishes indiscriminately it only makes it worse. Not that it would get better if you didn't. I've done my best to make General less idiotic and do away with fun-ruiners, but I can't change the fact that our population is just full of those 3 types of people I described.
    But you can't just let people post 5 crappy threads every 2 hours and make one-word posts and then delete something just because one person doesn't like it just to pacify people. They aren't going to like you if you delete their worthless crap, and they aren't going to like it if you don't listen to their stupid selfish complaints and do everything they ask you to. But it's not your job to be popular, it's your job to make a forum less crappy.
    "...if I really cared about how many spammers thought I was an Internet Hitler, I would have never even thought of being a mod." --Nad

    And you wonder why the "problems" are multiplied 10x in the RS forums? It's not only because of the target audience. It's because of mods letting them get away with being total dumbshits and giving them whatever they want. People still think buttsecks is actually funny because nobody has seriously taught them otherwise. I can only hope that somebody could learn something from this, but if I actually had hope I wouldn't have posted this thread.
