Have you ever done this?

[ethaninja]

Have you ever made a thread on a forum site, and then once enough people have posted into it, edited the question on something to make their answers seem completely irrelevant?

Eg: Thread maker: What did you get up to today?

Posters: Made breakfast, took a dump, went for a swim etc.

Then....

Thread maker: Has anybody ever heard this song?

Posters: Made breakfast, took a dump, went for a swim etc.

 

[Cherry Cola]

I did that once, but not because I wanted to make all other answers seem irrelevant. I had asked a question, and when it was answered, I changed the thread title and question to avoid having others post the same answers I already knew.

 

[grimsprice]

Is that some kind of post-temporal trolling?

No i've never done it, because i only create threads that i think are important. I don't make junk threads.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

No i have never done that...because if i make a question thread it's usually because i need help and once my question(s) is answered i leave the thread alone for the mods to deal with.

Aye I know what you mean. Unfortunatly most of the important threads I ever created were never answered, and since I like getting information, these types of threads seem to give me the most feedback so yeah. Fun threads vs. news/important threads in my little section, the fun threads always seemed to be the victors.

 

[Queen Michael]

No, I can't say I have.

 

[NeutralDrow]

No, I'm not a douche.

Although, clearly, the thing to do would be to have people make utterly random posts, and then have the OP edit in a question that tries to explain as many of them as possible.

Quoted just in case OP tries to pull the shenanigans he's describing.

 

[iLikeHippos]

Not really. Can't imagine anyone doing it either.

Editing someone else is just dumb, like laughing at your own jokes.

 

[Vampire cat]

My answer; No

Your altering of the question; Do you think sex with small children is bad?

Haha that's exactly what I was thinking.

Nice catch, both of you.

I'd have to say no; I'll edit the post to include something more, but I'd never remove the original question. I'd just make it clear that question wasn't relevant any more. Something like;
[Question]

and then;
UPDATE;
[New Question]
This is the old stuff;
[Original Question]

I don't think I've ever actually done it, but that would be how I'd do it.

[UberMore]

No.

(That can't be misconstrued, right? Well, except in the event of immaturity)

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

No, it sounds hilarious though.
