What's the point of posting this?

[James]

Quick 5k, 10k, or 20k and can give out a trophy and item.

[Yung]

Avatar too. Don't forget that.

[Sweeney]

You can get money and an avatar from a post on this forum? Incredible.

The point of posting this here is to help those who are unfamiliar with the Score Sender to be able to know which game, how long to let it run, as well as what they can get by doing so.

Perhaps overall, but not for me...
Besides, there's a difference in helping people avoid pissing away hours of their life and giving people information it would take them under a minute to find if they were remotely interested.

His real goal was to get people to notice his superficial "contribution" to the site.

Or to appreciated/somewhat loved? Isn't that what most people crave?

This is where I exit this conversation. I was just saying seems to me like there was a point to posting this thread though I can see your aspect of the situation as well.

I find the easiest way to exit a conversation is to stop replying, rather than making an announcement that presumes anyone cares. It's embarrassing.

[Irradium]

Pathetic, isn't it?

Meh, I couldn't really care. As far as I'm concerned, love is just an illusion made as a by-product of our infantile dependency, which develops into later life because we've learnt to live with it as part of our lives.

Destroyed? I made a stupid mistake while trying to help solve the LC and contribute to the site and then fixed it, just like Cold created this topic to help people out, but this guy decides to be a complete jerk about it. Because no one has ever made a mistake or a redundant thread before, and if you do then obviously you're a complete idiot worthy of mocking. Oh, but he's retired, so that makes it cool and funny and edgy for him to treat people like shit, am I right?

Being sarcastic about something is one thing, but being downright cruel to any member regardless of their rank or how long they've been on the site is rude and hurtful.

> 5.1 - Do not be cruel, hateful or hurtful to other members. Do not harass other members.
> 5.4 - Trolling is not welcome at Neocodex.

Since it's also against the rules to make public complaints about users, I'm leaving it at this. But seriously, leaving nasty comments on someone's thread, or pointing out an error someone made (and fixed like a minute later) for the sole purpose of mocking them is totally unnecessary and just makes people feel shitty, awkward, and unwelcome. It's not cool, it doesn't make you look like an intellectually superior tough guy. There might be a handful of people who think it's funny, but to the rest of us you just look like an asshole.

Maybe I overreacted, and I apologize for my outburst and removed the offensive term. However I believe my point still stands. It's not the first time people have been dicks for no reason so... yeah. That's all.

That's been hanging around in my thoughts for a while too. Thanks Stitches, Lord knows I wouldn't have had the emotional capacity to say this myself. Personally, I'd add arrogant, rude and patronising to the word 'asshole'.

Destroyed?

For the record, this is why I dislike people talking on my behalf.

I made a stupid mistake while trying to help solve the LC and contribute to the site and then fixed it, just like Cold created this topic to help people out, but this guy decides to be a complete jerk about it. Because no one has ever made a mistake or a redundant thread before, and if you do then obviously you're a complete idiot worthy of mocking.

The amusing thing wasn't that you made a mistake. I wasn't as ass about the first mistake. If you review the post, I simply pointed out that it was interesting that you failed to notice such an incredible error.
Then you told me to, and I quote, "Fuck Off."
After that, you became entertainment.

Being sarcastic about something is one thing, but being downright cruel to any member regardless of their rank or how long they've been on the site is rude and hurtful.

I would argue that being cruel to any member regardless of their rank would be classed as fair and indiscriminate. Although indiscriminate isn't really the word.
I discriminate againt stupid. I always have, and I always will. Don't feel bad, it's rarely personal.

I know the rules. For a long time, I enforced them.

Since it's also against the rules to make public complaints about users, I'm leaving it at this.

You don't do passive-aggressive very well. I wouldn't try it again.

But seriously, leaving nasty comments on someone's thread, or pointing out an error someone made (and fixed like a minute later) for the sole purpose of mocking them is totally unnecessary and just makes people feel shitty, awkward, and unwelcome.

Presuming to know my motives is rather arrogant for someone who is sitting on a pedestal judging my life choices.

It's not cool, it doesn't make you look like an intellectually superior tough guy. There might be a handful of people who think it's funny, but to the rest of us you just look like an asshole.

Here's the kicker, though. I'm not doing it for them, or for you. I am an asshole... or did you think that escaped my piercing perception?

[size="2"]Maybe I overreacted, and for that I apologize. However I believe my point still stands. It's not the first time people have been dicks for no reason so... yeah. That's all.

Just because you don't understand the reason, doesn't mean that there isn't one. Don't judge me against what you believe is good and proper, because it almost certainly doesn't apply.

That's been hanging around in my thoughts for a while too. Thanks Stitches, Lord knows I wouldn't have had the emotional capacity to say this myself. Personally, I'd add arrogant, rude and patronising to the word 'asshole'.

Feel free to read the above. But thank you for your input.

lol I didn't reply to Sweeney after his second post because I knew it would come to this. xD

Making these threads helps at least one person so I make them. Simple as that.

There was recently and Advanced Voting thread where the author of the post forgot to actually put the poll in and two members (one of them being me) pointed it out before he ninja edited the poll in. The purpose of pointing out the error was to mock the author's apparent stupidity and carelessness. Yet, he lived, somehow. And he and I can hold hands and frolic on the beach happily, because it's really not that big of a deal to make a mistake, have an asshole comment on it, and then get on with life.

But I accept your apology.

Then you told me to, and I quote, "Fuck Off."

Oh dear. That actually is worthy of a warning.

Kuddos to Cold for taking the high road and not breaking into dry heaving sobs that a few people think this thread is stupid.
