mrparrot Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm on a multitude of other forums, with subjects on exotic birds, micro-brewed beers, foreign currencies, and street rods. This is the only one that let's someone get away with one-line posts that load up the "What's New" section with literally NOTHING of substance. I pop in here and see nine topics listed currently under "What's New", and they all have the same Avatar under Last Post. I have a special needs step-son, and this is on par with the same type of attention-getting stuff that he does. He wants recognition for every single little thing that he does, regardless of how insignificant it is. If he shuts the patio door when he comes in from the back yard, he stands there and repeats, "Look, I closed the door." until someone says, "Good job.". It was cute when he was 3. He's 16 now... Let's just give Sandfly his award for Most Posts now, and save ourselves from having to see anymore one-line posts that contribute NOTHING to the subject. Maybe that will stop the insanity, and the copy cats that have jumped on his bandwagon... 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWitte Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 You know parrot, I don't dislike Sandfly at all. In fact I sometimes even like him. I have refrained from saying anything because .........................you are right. If I say anything I'm feeding the insanity that I think he/they like to annoy others. I have also seen others others who have complained about the Italian's (Umbertino) music posts and were told by a mod here to shut up or they would be reprimanded. And I like Umbertino too. I think he will agree with that. I think there's a way to put specific people on "ignore" but I don't know how it works. Maybe you can ask about that and see if it solves your problem. Like I said, I may agree with you and I have a real temper issue but, with all that's going on in the world, now and always, is this really that big of a deal? Or did you just see Sandfly 20 times in a row on the wrong day? Look at the bright side. You just have to push a button to get past it. Computer is a marvelous thing. We have bantered back and forth before and had a good time. That's all this is. Take care and "Sandfly" for your comment. ick DW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldiegirl Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Is there a way to get more negs in my bucket? I'm running out of them faster than some people can say thank you... I don't really think it's the negs you want, but the one word "flyby" that a few are posting t disappear. This topic came up before. To have that many thanks in a period of minutes clearly shows they really aren't reading the articles. I hear what you are saying, because it's not like you don't want to read those articles in the "whats new", but you have to page through pages and pages to find some of the threads with real comments to read those articles and they get buried. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooter Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Thanks mrparrot...There are many imposers but only one original '''Sandfly'''.... Sandfly is the "OG" thanker. He often provides great insight in as few as two or three words. I save my rubies for a select few that truly deserve them, although I wish I had more because they deserve them soooooo often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umbertino Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I'd give very willingly my entire quote of negs away ( which means I'd give them as a gift at disposal of whoever wants to use them as their possession) as I never neg anybody as my own rule of thumb. I'd love to have more pluses at my disposal in order to be able to plus more folks instead. Edited August 25, 2014 by umbertino 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that will stop the insanity, and the copy cats that have jumped on his bandwagon... You could try to find a solution to this "bug" ( I respect that....) by contacting some Mod and he/she might find a way to solve your problem... ..The other old but still effective way is to put the one(s) you deem as "att'n seeker(s)" on ignore, Just a friendly advice.
