Explainations... -

Well talking online is pretty different to the way I talk IRL, I don't exactly know if I'm the same person online

Nepsotic · #**122** 02-26-2012, 01:01 AM

You have to remember, this is a forum, not a chat group. Don't text-talk, and use grammar and shit.
So to sum up-

:

Why not just be yourself... unless this is your true self.. In which case becoming a type might actually be better.

T-nex · #**123** 02-26-2012, 01:09 AM

Sheri, why don't you just take my advice and stop posting for a while. Just friggin lurk for a while, and learn. Start off by either joining debates(in a mature manner of course), make genuinely funny but modest jokes, and just be friendly. Stop trying to be edgy, it's doesn't work for newbies.

If you don't heed to these advices, then suit yourself. people will just continue to trample you. In the end, we're happy with the way things are here, and if you don't fit in. That's not our loss.

Sorry for being snappy, but you didn't seem to take any advice the first time around. I can't put it any more nicely than I already have.

sheridanm962 · #**124** 02-26-2012, 01:45 AM

I was really hoping for a big guide but oh well.

I guess I will never fit in

-rep, you need to learn the hard way. Learn to take a joke.

Okay, what the fuck. Is there some band wagon dogging Sheridan's footsteps, awaiting an opportunity to dish out some negrep. Look everybody, I'm publicly stating that I gave Sheridan some negrep, don't I just fit in?

I've been posrepping Sheridan because that red mudokon face annoys me. What is even the point of negrep, to tell someone how much you dislike them; surely it's not to encourage a better posting standard, for the lack of posrep should certainly do that. So is negrep bombing Sheridan like Dresden really going to make him a better poster? I seriously doubt it; it might however give him the impression that he is hated here; he may then leave. Unless that is your plan, in which case it's a very cuntish one. Anyway I would much rather see Sheridan become a more valued poster than see him vanish from the forums entirely.

You have to admit that he's disregarding and even outright ignoring quite a lot of constructive advice.

Sheridan, take Nikki's advice.

MeechMunchie · #**127** 02-26-2012, 03:50 AM

"What do you think of Sheridan's post?" If the answer is "I disapprove", negrep away. That's what the rep system is for and I see no issue.

Anyway, Sheridan, what you've got to understand is that almost everybody in this thread has been on the forums for a couple of years or more. Yes, we all act like dicks, but that's because we understand each other well enough to know what's appropriate and what isn't. You've just got to stick around and be a bit less precocious in terms of your position.

When I joined at 13 or 14, I didn't understand any of what was happening, and I'm still left confused on a regular basis. But you wouldn't wander into a group of people IRL and start insulting them, or acting like you'd known them all your life, so I didn't. I stuck to giving input when it was relevant and helpful, and once I'd established that I was a generally nice person, I earned the privileges to lapse into acting like a idiot when I deemed it necessary, without it being taken at face value i.e. making me look like an idiot. And look at me now. I act like a cunt 24/7, and I'm the 4th most reputable member here.

tl;dr, You need to show us you're smart if you don't want people to think you're stupid.

STM · #**128** 02-26-2012, 04:01 AM

For an English Language perspective, I'm actually intrigued by Sheri's mindset towards the forum.

And it really looks like Sheri is downright resisting our advice and very polite criticism. I have no idea what he's trying to achieve if it's not hate.

Now I understand from this sentence, and I agree

If you've been here over 10 years you can be a complete nob and won't get griped at. People just roll their eyes and don't say anything.

OANST · #**135** 02-27-2012, 06:39 AM

Are you guys seriously trying to explain how to make friends to him? Jesus, guys. He wins this thread. He wins. You all lose. Even me because I have to be considered part of the "veterans" group. You all made me an internet loser, and my shame with myself is nothing compared to the shame that I feel for all of you right now.

Congratulations, Spiderman.

Mr. Bungle · #**136** 02-27-2012, 09:13 AM

I dunno about you guys, but I think this spiderman fellow might be the greatest troll OWF's ever seen.

OANST · #**137** 02-27-2012, 09:19 AM

If it was in any way even slightly intentional then he has manipulated this forum beautifully.

T-nex · #**138** 02-27-2012, 09:22 AM

I don't care really x(. I'd gladly be a loser and help someone, hoping they aren't trolling, than not do anything at all because I think they are a troll.

If he's a troll, then well done.

Though whether he is or not, he will probably use that as an excuse now.

He pos-repped me begging me not to neg-rep me btw. Not that I had any intention to

Jesus, guys. He wins this thread. He wins. You all lose.

I was telling him earlier that he was doing a terrible job at trolling 'cause what he was saying wasn't even funny... But then he has successfully trolled us all entirely, either intentional or non-intentional, hook, line and sinker.

Bravo, Sheridanm. Bravo.

Something that looks like your face.

Wings of Fire · #**143** 02-27-2012, 10:58 AM

Does anyone remember back when the trollface was created and used as a derisive parody of trolls?

Those were good days.

MeechMunchie · #**144** 02-27-2012, 11:35 AM

I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt until he said that. It's still a win/win, though, since I get rep when I'm nice to people

OANST · #**145** 02-27-2012, 11:42 AM

i like how i'm grouped in with the people that were taking this kid seriously, when i haven't made a single serious post in this entire thread. if anything i was trying to fan the flames.

FUCKING GENERALIZATION

STM · #**148** 03-01-2012, 12:50 PM

Course you were kiddo. Course you were.

Nepsotic · #**149** 03-02-2012, 06:44 AM

why does he continue to pop up now and again and insult people? like in the Thank you mudokon master blog. he thinks its a joke but... arnet jokes supposed to be funny? stop it! take advice! your ignoring everything people are telling you! you say "Yes, i understand", but then you just call some veteran member a cunt in the next thread.

OANST · #**150** 03-02-2012, 06:45 AM

You're making us lose again.
