Hi there! :D You've been directed to this thread, becuz the friendly folks at You Might Be New Industries wanted to give you a chance to read this brief introduction before actually going ahead and clicking on the pretty "New Topic" button. If you have ever started a thread about any of the following subjects, you just might be that new around here that you don't know how boring, redundant and useless such threads are. Now, you might be new, but you dont want to be that new (ick!), do you? Thanks for reading, and by doing so, trying to make an effort to be a little less new. ;)
Cheers! ;D

through no fault of the cupidity or short-sightedness of the thread-starter,
Spiffy. Another word to add to my "slang bank". Unless of course you meant the usual (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cupidity) meaning of "greed", though that doesn't quite fit.
Also, you missed out on a great Rickroll oppurtunity, Playa. :P
-
same as you did ^^ (http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)[/url]

So, you just smashed your own proposition, no. 2.
But other than that I heartily support these.
Especially 3-7

I hereby propose a new sticky thread in this Off-Topic subforum, namely, a thread listing threads that we've seen ad nauseum, don't care to see again, and in which, through no fault of the cupidity or short-sightedness of the thread-starter, we will flame him relentlessly, and with no quarter.
Screw that.. a flaming quarter is the perfect weapon..
I suggest we flame people who make polls on every thread they ever make even though the thread doesn't need a poll, and then, even though a poll that could make sense still could be pulled off they instead opt for some kind of useless poll wasting valuable space... and i suggest that we flame them with quarters!
-
I broke 3 rules:
2 (sticky me), 4 (me-clan), and 10 (Trem should...).
The funny thing is, I never got flamed for any of those, and my proposed sticky actually got stickied.

You should make 7 into 6a, and 13 into a 10a, and by the way 8) is always worth a laugh in lists.

Done.

...

I've broken all ten of these "rules". That's why I post them here, as a warning to future generations of Tremulous n00bs, so they won't have to endure the searing flames of psychologically-scarring hurt and contempt that I've been made to feel. :)
Also, I've already asked Tito to stop spamming...
He just won't.
I think he wants to know how many columns wide the karma counter is, and he figures one direction is as notorious as the other. :)
-
im guilty of making a poll about whether or not there should be a 'starcraft mod'
-
I have nothing better to do...I have no car, thats why. lol
-
Now just replace the word "car" with the word "life" and you've gotten to the heart of the matter.
-
Ouch.
But seriously, Tito, if you want people to like you more, don't make posts that say one word, such as 'nein'. It just makes your low, low, karma get lower.

you should add a category for these people who post before use the search function, do stupid questions and in the WRONG section, like this one:
http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=8878.0
is on the servers section....
lol.

We should start a running total of each type.

We should start a running total of each type.
Here's a recent 10c I quite enjoyed:
The Classic Case of the Kid Who is Really Into a Couple of Games and Maybe Mods or Maps in One, and Admins or Codes in Another, Who Is Not Here To Offer His Services and Produce Some Usable Assets, But Instead to Complain That Development of a Free, Open-Source Game on an Admittedly Quaint Engine Isn't Proceeding Apace, and Chooses to Help the Community by Yelling a Lot and Calling People Bad Names, Thereby Showing How Much He Truly Cares, and Just How Right He Is. (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=6449.msg96837#msg96837)
add'd new category: thx, Snake (don't forget, everyone can play) ;)
@Kozak6: will link to there, when linking here, in future, and start a running tally (feel free to join in) :)
What category do you all think is the most numerous, so far? There have been quite a few 10c-types, of late, but before that there were a rash of class 13 threads, and I still remember the great 6b flood of yesteryear. I think they somewhat tend to indicate the level of newness of the recent arrivals to the forum (or at least those who dare to post such things). :o
-
Here's a recent 10c I quite enjoyed
Hmm, maybe we need to split that category further:
10ca: Here's what should be added
10cb: Here's what should be removed
10cc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVzRMlvi81k): Here's all the wonderful things I'm capable of, so you should listen to me (aka, "The Things We Do For Trem" - like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go...)
Yes, I typed that all up just to make a lame 10cc joke. I'm coming up on hour 33 without having a smoke, it's early, and I'm half awake. Just smile and nod.
-
What about a category for these people who do necroposts asking STUPID shit, or telling something irelevant that doenst help?
-

This is a thread about starting new threads. I say it's time for you to spawn off a new thread, listing the various types of silly replies to original posts. Please make it a proposed sticky. :)
-
yah, make it sticky, it shoulda be a general rule :P is like a way to the compost pile.
well, actually i WOULD be doing a

A classic case (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=8903.msg137542#msg137542) of a type 4 (for which three new sub-categories have been added, in honor of this one post), which also qualifies as a type 8 (the description of which has been modified to more accurately reflect the variety of offenses), and adds in elements of type 11. N00b-tacular work, to say the least.
-
yay i enjoyed the last addition specially
" 4c) i start 4 clans a week 'cuz acronyms fascinate me"
Thanks for keep the thread updated!

Hehe that guy should feel honored.

#16:
These Noob players that make threads liek "I'm looking for a clan (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=8923.0)" and dont know how do the people get into the clans.
-
Snake, it almost seeems that you are using this thread to avoid the ratings that you otherwise deserve.
EDIT: don't take it personally
i just want to point out what i said by "you might be new if you are old". it just means that people should not forget how is it to be a fresh member of a community. we shouldn't stuck in the flaming fashion, while its obviously very cool to fight with newbies.
-
actually i didnt started any of these kind of threads :P
i just liek to hav fun, but i'm nt useless at all :]
