Now, I usually dont like singling out a specific person, but Fox40k is just making ridiculous posts and is intentionally trying to increase his post count because he is in a "race" to be the most frequent poster on the board. Is their not a rule against spam? It is annoying to have a page of posts load where Fox40K takes up half of it with posts such as "sw33t" or "okay."
stupid one word posts that makes the pages take longer to load.
I would rather have a page full of quality posts than one where everyother reply is of the one word variety. It is extremely annoying, please do something about this.

I can see where you are coming from, but some questions need only a one word answer. I prefer to read a quick answer than spend time reading a lot of stuff you really only read just to make sure you didn't miss something. For you see, posts cannot be measured by length. Take, for example, the Name that game post. We'd prefer to see if we were right han find out why we were right and all the other details leading up and around it.

It matters because my DSL is messed up right now and takes a while to load pages, and its not alot of fun to load pages that are flooded with spam. You have been doing it for all of your posts, I have seen maybe... MAYBE 5 actual, quality posts from you.
and I agree that sometimes posts need just one word answers, but posts that are like this add to the topic, it doesn't just flood it!!!
I don't understand why it matters to Fox40K to be the highest poster on the board. Why?
If you are not in a race, why do this? If it is to find out what the next "level" is on the board, just ask a mod, they are the ones that make it up.
One more thing, if you have something to add to your post, hit the MODIFY button instead of posting again, thats just another form of spam and makes the page load longer for all of us.

i think my messages are coming across wrong. i'm only mad at the people who make these threads. Send a PM to the mods if your that adamant about keeping spam down.

Oh, did you change the ranks? I just noticed me and some other guy went back down to knight. Doesn't really matter to me though.

This post is mainly for Gustav, but I am not IMing him because it might contain information some people might find entertaining or something (by the way, I am not trying to spam. I really could care less what my rank is). Anyway, l33t means elite, or in lamen's terms, one of the best. This phrase, while I am not sure where or when it was created, or h4x0r / l4m3r (the two names commonly used for this type of typing) for that matter, was coined and highly advertised by Jeff K, a (purposfully) annoying character who uses this type of talking in his collum, Ask Jeff K, and his home page. Both of these can be found at www.somethingawful.com We can all thank Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka for this, yay. Stygian
