People who repeat the same word over and over for several pages are so annoying. Mods, it's borderline spam.

I think discussing points in HQ should be brought back

Are you seriously taking the time out of your day to report every single comment in that thread? Does it really bother you THAT much?

Mods, since this member decided they are so unearthed by harmless comments of this nature, I'd like to know why only certain posts are warned while others aren't. I understand that they aren't reported but I'm pretty confident most of these posts were never reported so I'm just wondering what will be done with this since I got a warning but like 20 other people didn't.

Reporting threads/posts in HQ is against the rules.

You know, we've really been lax on things like this. Instead of ignoring it, or deleting posts, from now on - I will warn everyone who would rather be 'funny' than actually contribute to a thread. Everyone knows that they're breaking the rules - and now those rules will be enforced. Thanks!

I got 552'ed - trust, everyone who disrupted the flow of the thread will be suitably enough. To quote the Smiths - the joke isn't funny anymore.

Thanks Ace

Omg all the "Warning Received".

Mess at someone reporting this post tho.

What's "honestly ridiculous" is you all flagrantly breaking the rules and thinking it's a laugh riot.

"OK" or any variation thereof had nothing to do with the thread at hand - i.e. DISRUPTIVE. You'll learn from this, and won't be so corny/thread-hijacky again!

Thank you!

Reminders are pointless in that the offender will just do it again thinking they'll get another reminder. The warning point is to reinforce the lesson. Most of those who copied the "ok" already know it's disruptive, so.

Although I'm having a good laugh seeing all those "Warning Received" on almost every page.

Absolutely. There's a whole thread dedicated to threads ruined by one post. You all know what you're doing.

Well I've never seen anything like this. I agree with Instinct that a reminder would be sufficient since no thread has experienced that before. And if you think that this will suddenly stop because of your WP masquerading, you're wrong. It happens daily. Figure a way out.

I know, I know, it's tough ...

.. but I'm the one to deliver tough love. You all had to know that posting things like "OK?" don't contribute anything to the thread, right?

Things that are on topic:

"I Love her! QUEEN"

"nnn the way she cackled."

"She's such a low-rent ho!" (That would have been warned, but it would be on topic!"

OK/Ok/Ko/Ohh kay/Old Kate/etc - how does that relate to Jennifer Lopez's appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show?

It doesn't.

I'm sorry it had to be this way, but my heart is even more full of sorrow at the fact that I, and so many of my other moderators, had let these jokes carry on for so long.

Truly sorry about that. You know I <3 you Instinct, and it's not like you're on the edge of glory - unlike Swag, who started the mess and knew he was only OneTwoPoints away from banland. Messy!

Bump

Kinda clocked you, didn't he?

And we have figured the way out - warning you all until you learn. If you want to waste 3 - 7 points on foolishness, that's more of your problem than ours.
