Not to name any names but the following is quite revealing. I am not trying to pick on anyone but this really just stood out. We are trying to set a post record I guess.

Can we use EDIT please and not post more than alot of times in the 5 minute edit window...

The reason I pointed this out was becuase of the posting guidelines...

"Do not consecutively reply to a topic - If you are within the alloted timespan for editing a message that no one has replied to and you think of something to add, EDIT the message. DO NOT REPLY AGAIN. Constant abuse of this will not be tolerated. "


So Minkagrl01, keep up the bullshit and get suspended...

the thing is most of those messages had been replied to. so he really isn't doing anything wrong. if you edit a post thats been replied to, most people probably won't even notice the edit.

but not all of them and that is my point...

FOR EXAMPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!



Don't be a n00b after 500 post. Know the guidelines and please don't defend abusers, b/c if you do you are guilty of the abuse yourself...

well it is somewhat bothersome, but the padding has basically disappeared. at this point this kind of stuff doesn't bother me too much, because people can't do it a lot. if they do it often, there will be a crackdown.

and if they just do it a few times like this dumbass, then all it does is make 90 percent of their first 500 posts shit, and then i treat them like an idiot for the entire rest of the time i see them.

it helps me to immediately identify who the apple fritters are, so i don't need to even bother paying attention to what they say.

The only reason I did that was to show how retarded it was-- I agree with you -- it is retarded
If I didn't agree with it I would have said it- and I wasn't the only person who "padded" in this thread so don't call me on it and cuss like it was

[Edited on March 28, 2002 at 12:57 PM. Reason : vs the extra long edit list.]

[Edited on March 28, 2002 at 12:57 PM. Reason : Good example huh?]

[Edited on March 28, 2002 at 12:58 PM. Reason : messed up the example and had to edit... ]
