Forum Member Types - do you recognise yourself?

2 Aug 2004

Seeing as this site inspired me. I sent a few suggestions to `Flame warriors` (link in siggy)
I suggested the Assassin, the guy who always kills threads, or starts threads which get ignored.
I suggested the Hijacker, which speaks for itself, and I suggested TXTSPK, who, is a character the owner is already taking on board, and told he told me he may get back in touch so he can ask me questions about this character.
It`s the last one I need help to flesh out, incase he does get back to me. Someone who types in TXT all the time.
What kind of person are they, and how do they handle themselves/come across in debate?
Should give you all something to chew over!
I`ll be quieter this week, I have a young houseguest for the week, putting my total of kids to endure up to 4!
I hope they sleep tonight, cos they bloody didn`t last night! surprised

TXTSPK - inconsiderate of other people reading their posts
- in a hurry
- bad speller
- too young, for anything!!
- cocky
- expects everyone to shag them now
- dork!!
Does that give you enough to go on with? Am I thinking along the right lines?
Have fun!!

Wel I no wot the prob is cus i cn nev reed the bludy stuf ow cn u reed sumfin lik that if it not speld curek wot r thes ppl like din they go to skool i blam the teechs dunno

I'm not sure what that says myself. I thought texting developed because there was a shortage of space, but on here there is virtually no restriction on space and they do have lots of time.
I think Mal's list is a start, but I bet it gets added to.

CAN WE ALSO HAVE THE CONSTANT CAP INDIVIDUAL????

2 Aug 2004

I often wonder where I come into this debate? Cant seem to EVER get it right at times? I feel obliged to open new debates, and some I feel passionately about get bugger all response no matter how you word it, and others which seem to be tongue in cheek get 20+....?
i guess it is all to do with human judgement, and I go with the flow and will do so until told to bugger off or banned...

How about 'The Randomizer'. You know, the ones who write leading subject titles that leave the hapless forum user with no idea what is inside. This approach will probably make sure lots of people look, 'just in case', but will annoy the pants off others. Usually the Randomizer says something ambiguous in their post title followed by dots :P

Now I shall put my head on the block......no I wont, I shall see who else is brave enough to identify who this is!

Netiquette Nazi is in control and she does not tolerate backtalk. The guidelines for every discussion forum are clearly posted and she demands obedience. If any of you sniveling dogs break the rules or deviate from strict observance of netiquette you WILL be punished.

I think `Nazi` is a little harsh though! rotflmao

It's John Major's bit of rough isn't it? The Salmonella Woman, Hell's Kitzchen-maid, every Rabbi's nightmare, the Queen of kiss and tell, that former bit of top tory totty, Eggwina Slurry! biggrin

Hey, it's a rotten job. The pay, I hear you ask?? One bottle of Swinging Heaven Merlot a year (so far, it's only year 2 so I'll let you know) and a lovely Oscar with 'Mod of the Year' written on it's bum.
However, it's the lovely folk here to keep me going and going and going and going. Now, take Mal for instance.. no, not yet, put him down for a moment! He is, right now, making Jags VERY HAPPY from many many miles away. I smile just thinking about what he's doing lol

:lol:
Now, let's get this thread back on the right track before GBD see it's and wields his unfeasibly long arm thing at us!

PS - did you know there is a punishment block for Mods??? We take turns in it :P :P

2 Aug 2004

Do I have to have a name for this 'flamer' or just a description of the sort of annoying habits they get up to?? (I use the term 'they' as a generic word in place of he and she, I KNOW it's bad English but I'm not English!!)
1. Tells us about; what they had for tea; what they dreamt about; how many poos they've had today, yesterday or last week, what they did last night but it wasn't about sex; what they plan to do today.... <phew>
2. Post 14 one liners, all in the same section, all saying something like 'I'm bored, come entertain me'.
3. Post 1 thread and it's a spam for another site
4. Post 4 times in the same section about the same thing but on consecutive days.
Oh.. who started this??? I rolleyes

No, the Randomizer is very naughty, and needs their bottom spanked and their titles editing wherever they are seen practising their annoying art! :P :lol:

Too obvious, even if you are green now!

But how many does this sum up?!

Rebel Without a Clue's deep seated and infantile hostility to authority motivates his random and seemingly gratuitous attacks on list owners, SysOps and anyone else who attempts to maintain a modicum of order and civility in discussion forums. Differing markedly from Rebel Leader, he is unattached to any cause other than petulance for its own sake, and will therefore seldom inspire general insurrection. In his frequent and ineffectual attacks on the established order he will often cite the Bible, or the US Constitution to support incoherent arguments. Rebel Without a Clue NEVER reads forum FAQs, and loudly decries as fascism any enforcement whatsoever of forum rules.

Awww (((((((((((Jags))))))))))) we know we love you (besides, I like the outfit!)

Cyber Sisters are an extremely fierce confederation of fighting females who act something like a shrill Greek chorus, echoing and amplifying one another's voice until their foes retreat in disarray. They are generally leaderless, but anyone who challenges one Cyber Sister can expect to be savagely attacked by the others. Only the most powerful and battle-hardened of Warriors is strong enough to weather a Cyber Sisters attack

hehehehehehe anyone want to be my "cyber sis"?

Oh my god, I think I just found my dad! :shock:

Troglodyte is an aggressive Philistine who categorically disdains all new-age enthusiasms and politics, and has a particular animus against "homos", "tree huggers", " hairy-leg lesbo feminists" and artsy types. His loud brandishings of "common sense" and "reason" are nothing more than conceits to justify his close mindedness. Troglodyte's fierce, but predictable attacks are easily parried by more nimble Warriors. Sometimes, just for fun, Weenie or Issues will taunt him into a towering rage.

:notes: Note to self: The individuals who have posted on this thread have completely lost it! They have hijacked their own thread and metamorphisised it into something new.
Perhaps that's a 'type' - The TRANSFORMER! changes one thread into something new, like a hijacker but worse because the change is irreversible.

How about a good old FORUM STALKER!

Newton`s third law..........

Xenophobe is usually a long-term discussion forum participant and he thinks of the forum as his private compound. Xenophobe regards new forum arrivals as mentally deficient and perhaps even having criminal tendencies, and they are invariably approached with suspicion and condescension. Xenophobe will mount a furious attack if a Newbie has the temerity to make critical observations about the forum's social dynamics, or questions its prevailing opinions.

What about the â€˜adopterâ€™ AKA the â€˜parrotâ€™ â€“ not to be confused with the user of the same name.
The person who reads what other people have expressed as there opinion, works out this may be a popular view amongst the masses and then repeats it in every appropriate thread that they can find â€“ adopting the opinion and trying to pass it off as their own.

As long as they stand some distance away, coz I can't stand the BLOODY NOISE!!!!! wink

Such a person appears to think that they are somehow adding emphasis to what they are trying to say. Bit like people who think that driving with their fog lights on makes them more visible, although they haven't the brains to see that other cars are equally visible with dipped headlights on. rolleyes

So I think that people who use caps all the time are.............. THICK. mad

Well, one category in here would be the quiz inquisitors (no, not Michael Miles), the ones who join and straight away start loads of question threads, usually ones that come up regularly, like:
What do you think of anal, ladies?
Does cock size really matter?
The best blowjob you ever had.
Circumsized versus uncircumsized.
Then there are the other questioners, who have usually been here for a little while, because they ask questions (again, regular questions) which show their frustrations with the site e.g.
Are the ads for real?
I'm old - does age matter?
Why are there no swingers in the West Country?
Can I organise a munch in my home town?
Help, I can't get in the chatroom.
I'll think of others later lol

Mike.
