I'M NOT AGAINST THE TAG ITSELF I'M ANNOYED AT IT'S USE WITHEN A POST WHEN IT ISN'T DETRIMENTAL TO A GAME OR OTHER ENTERTAINMENT MEDIUM. WHENEVER IT IS JUST A POST SCRIPT TYPE COMMENT THEN IT SHOULD BE USING THE SMALL TAG. I PERSONALLY DON'T USE THE MOUSE WHEN I'M SCROLLING THROUGH A LONG THREAD I JUST USE MY ARROWS TO GO DOWN TO THE BOTTOM THEN USE THE MOUSE TO EXIT AND ENTER A NEW THREAD. HAVING TO STOP AND HIGHLIGHT THREE OR FOUR WORDS IN A POST IS AGRAVATING AS OFTEN THERE IS PERTENANT INFORMATION TO THE POST THAT THE POSTER JUST WANTED TO IMPLIMENT SARCASEM OR WHAT HAVE YOU. ALL THAT I WANT IS JUDGEMENT USED WHEN THE NEED OF A SPOILER TAG OR A SMALL TAG IS BEING DISCERNED.

So? So what if we use the spoiler tag for non-spoiler things. I doubt anyone is pointing a gun to your heads and yelling, "HIGHLIGHT THE DAMN BLACK STUFF. DO IT DAMMIT."


Time was never on my side.
So on I wait my whole lifetime.

I HAVE A MOUSE WITH A WHEEL THANK YOU VERY MUCH. HOWEVER I RECLINE IN MY CHAIR WHILE READING AND SO IT IS MORE CONVIENT TO USE THE KEYBOARD IN MY LAP AND OCCASIONALLY USE THE MOUSE THEN CONSTANTLY HAVE TO HAVE MY HAND IN THE CLAW POSITION TO USE THE WHEEL.

Ok that stuff is getting annoying. This is just a polite request to refrain from it unless it is absolutly necessary.

I don't know about absolutly necessary, but I guess I can not abuse it as much as I'm tempted to.

It was kinda fun to hide "Fnord"s in some of my posts for a while. I reserve the right to use it as an occasional joke like that, if only because it works so well for the joke. No more large chunks of non-spoiler-ish text hidden that way though.

Allthough, something that annoying could make me change my mind... Please, stop it.

Thank you. And please never shorten my name like that again. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard...

"Chibi" is ok, and I've been known to answer to "P-chan", but "Pali" just sets my teeth on edge.
My RL name can be mis-shortened as well, so it's an old pet peave.

Ok... I have a tiny question.

Why do we have to change our ways because we are inconviencing two people?

..... Just because you "Like" to sit in your lazyboy, and not use you mouse isn't our problem.

Last time I checked, these forums were not called "Naimah's Forums".

Allow me to put in my $.02
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

We don't have to, but we can. Now that we know it annoys someone, it could be a nice thing to not do it as much, that's all.

I'm not going to tell anybody what to do. Only Drysart and the Tooth Fairy get to do that. But for myself, I'll back off on the joke because it's getting on somebody's nerves. We all know what that feels like.

Where do you get two?

I just think it makes the boards look like ass when there's so many black boxes.

Plus, as I pointed out, there's the hypocrisy of the same people abusing it now that said there *would* be abuse of it before, and that it was a bad idea to implement it.

I AM GOING TO CLOSE THIS THREAD.

Let's be more mature, damnit.

Naimah would like to see people use the spoiler tag less, that's his opinion. He could have done without the threat at the end, and the mocking responses only escalated it.

Grow up!
