I'm guessing it has to do with how stupid the question is or how duplicative the question is.

This is like 97% of the fun of this board. Wait, are we here to be serious about shite?!?!

Oh, damn, I completely misunderstood the intent of this whole site.

i think it depends on the question. If the simple question is "What's XXXX's 40 times?", which is something they can go to rivals or scout and look up themselves, then that deserves criticism. When the question is "What's the latest scoop on xxxx?", which is something they can do a search for themselves and see what the last post made about that person was, then that deserves criticism. When they ask "What time does something start?" which they can use google and find out for themselves, then that deserves criticism.

All in all, what I see a lot of is just a bunch of people that are either 1. to lazy or 2. to stupid to go find the information themselves.

Those that do look and can't find what they are looking for, preface the post with "I've google searched and searched this board but can't find the info I'm looking for", THEN they ask their question.

For me, it was fun the first couple of times and then it got old, especially when I had a short break at work and actually wanted to catch up on, you know, recruiting.

By the way, gotta like your avatar and sig pic. Excellent.

Internet tough guy syndrome. In real life they are total losers, this gives them some sense of superiority. They can't wait to tell you your thread is redundant or needs to go on another board, or just stupid in their opinion. Pushovers in life, ITG on the boards.


I'm a 6'2" 250 lb ex LB/DE. I am also the biggest internet tough guy on the site.

Pick up the pieces of your theory and go home.

Yeah, but I'm 7'1" and weigh 347 lbs. all muscle. For practice, while on this site, I bend my keyboard into the shape of a pretzel and back again.

Top that Internet tough guys!!!

But this only makes the problem worse. Seriously, if someone asks a question that has been answered a hundred times, then we should answer it and politely inform that person to use the search function -- and then that thread will quickly drop off the front page.


Your solution, in theory, is a good one. However, if we do that then no one will ever actually listen to the advice. The idiots who post repetitive stuff are not the kind of people who respond to intelligent and helpful advice well. They need the same treatment as a puppy. You have to just chastise them until they get reluctant about posting something retarded and use the search function.

This part made me piss my pants, because it's so true. The DD shite is pretty annoying.

In the meantime, the board stays "clogged up", not because of the original redundant post, but because so many others on here feel more manly if they can successfully insult someone on an internet forum.



Excellent point, I only flame on stupid posts at the top of the page. I hate it when people bring a thread back up that was almost dead.

If there were'nt NEW posts; restated questions or not! "YOU COCKKNOCKERS" that sit at your computers all day and obviously read the rant, and respond with these smart arse comments,, wouldn't have anything to give your life meaning!Weak

You'd have a third of the posts and you'd have to wait longer to get your new post fix! As for clogging up the board,,"When is the last time the New Posts label reached all the way to the bottom of your screen? = Dumbass excuse for your behavior,, clogging up the board,, PLEASE...

You are exactly right. You have to remember the idiots that knock other posts, or look for misspelled words, or search the entire board in case it as been posted before so they can let you know, have not football knowledge what so ever, so this all they can post. They are called Rantards. So whenever you get a Rantard post, simply call them a Rantard and move on. You can't get rid of these immature losers.

so you need a new post fix? you that much of an addict?

I personally would prefer single threads about the same subject rather than 20 threads on the same thing over and over again. I think people do it just so they can be the thread starter......makes them feel more popular I guess,
