Schmoes who do that should have their thread counts minused off.:mad:

What? Cheating thread counts? Is that like post padding?

I have no idea what you mean, Evil...What's a thread count and how am I supposed to cheat it? :confused:

EDIT: I figured it out. I think he means we schmoes need to stop stuffing tissues in our bras. Especially us male schmoes.

I don't wanna say where but it's going on in a certain forum at the moment. :D
2 schmoes has already responded.

HINT- use recent threads and look for a thread subject that does NOT look right. :D

I saw it. Shameful.

That schmoe should just do what Lynn does. That is say the most idiotic thing possible to make it look like the post means something.

I'll post this thread because it obviously does not apply to the rules of the site: http://www.joblo.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=66627

It's certainly not within the site rules.

Shameful, it is. I saw the thread.

Who gives a hoot about post count?

The schmoe in question, apparently, Jon.

I was being rhetorical.

Heck, there's nothing wrong with having a big post count, but doing it in that type of act is shameful.

I just read that thread and the first thing that came to my mind was: what a lucky guy. If all I had to worry about was my post count on a movie forum board, I'd be the luckiest man alive.

If I was JoBlo I would delete all his posts back to zero but not ban him. If he is serious about this place, he'd have to prove it by posting from zero and being sensible about it.

The link is in my above post, although nothing is there now. It was a thread with the title of ";)" and it was a bunch of single word posts that said "I" "WILL" "SOON" "BE" "A" "SUPER" "SCHMOE" and was just there to get a higher post count. Needless to say, there were more than a few posts afterwards bashing the schmoe.

I contributed to that. Well, I didn't bash him, just scolded him.

Unfortunately, nobody brought this to my attention, so I wasn't able to do anything about it or even know what schmoe, or what thread, you were talking about.

The next time something like this occurs, please contact me or the appropriate moderator (who, in this case, I assume deleted the thread in question), so that we can handle it discreetly and it needn't turn into a thread like this one, in which everyone is wondering what side is up, etc...

Thanks.
