  • I know it's difficult to explain or defend but it is annoying when people start worthless or redundant threads on premium. Some posters do it a lot. I can't explain why it irritates me so, if you must, please continue.

    Yeah, this definitely isn't the worst offender on premium recently and I wouldn't have called out Friar for doing it unless he had recently started several new threads that didn't really deserve to be new threads.

    He is listed as having 2 posts... How many new threads has he started.........

    Lol, sadly debates like this entertain me so much.

    but seriously, Anyone can post anything at anytime. I just think it couldve gone in an existing thread. It's not really Friar, there are have been far mire trivial topics than his begun in the last 2 weeks.

    Then don't offer free trials......

  • At least he got a lot of pity upvotes. It's not like anyone upvoted him because he posted useful information.

    50 percent of his posts are new threads. He is clearly abusing the system. A banning is in order.

    Right. I wouldn't have made a big deal about this thread (and I didn't) because he hadn't demonstrated any kind of pattern of making a bunch of new threads like this.

    Reread..... retract...

    Point is..... there have been many, many pointless threads started on "premium". The number of pointless, redundant threads during the past week+ has increased. However, I'm not convinced the percentage has changed.

  • Get used to the Gestapo at this board. There is a handful who feel the need to judge and critique the merit of every post. Good that they are so special, not sure what we would do without them. Nevertheless, they are a true barometer of where we stand in this land of free speech. You can pay your premium like them, but your rights stop there apparently - bend to their mighty will or they will ridicule you mercilessly. Certainly any info regarding a person should be pinned to a post 7 or 8 pages long with such other valid non-repititive things like "so and so promised be so and so" or "another random t----", which is highly valuable evaluations in their own right. This way it can be surrounded by such intellectual triumphs. Someone deserves some gold stars to be true!

  • Look, there are certain things that should be threads on premium and certain things that should be free board threads (or not threads at all!). If you can't understand why this thread shouldn't exist, you're not a Premium Caliber Poster

  • Another expert - cool - what can you do about it? Zero, so bite me and anyone who wants to post drivel and nonsense.

  • I've changed my mind, this is a phenomenal thread.

    Do you have any video of your post? I don't believe you pass the looks test.

  • Upvotes for everyone! Hell the free board looks like the sports version of off-topic at this point. This place is the board equivalent of the Superdome after Katrina right now.

    This is exactly what should happen, unless it is something new and very important. I don't know why that is so hard to understand.

    How many new threads, prior to the past week+, do you catagoized as "new and very important"????????

    EDIT: Unfair question.... Rather than an absolute number, give a rough percentage. Let's get a consenus and base the monthly fee on the amount of "new and very important" information.

    There is absolutely no question that I fail the look test about as badly as you can.
