Does anyone else think there needs to be a 'Pointless Poster' badge for those people that do nothing but post one stupid comment in a topic stating that the topic is pointless?

Seriously, instead of yelling at the people that took the time to post a question or comment, how about you save yourself some typing and just ignore it. Better yet, when you see a group of people on the street or in a mall or restaurant, go up to them and yell at them. Tell them that their conversation is stupid and they should talk about something else. Call them all idiots. See how it works out for you.

Wouldn't that just inspire people to make a pointless post for a badge? People seem to like badges regardless.

This topic is poin- Okay, yes I agree with you.

I don't really quite get what goes through their mind anyways. "I know, lets post a pointless comment to show that this topic is pointless" What fuckin' genious's

I feel as though you are setting yourself up for countless posts of "THIS topic is pointless".

But I agree with you, people need to stop posting stupid comments just to pad their post count. Try to always have something to add to the discussion when posting.

Indeed, and thus, we separate out the chaff.

Yeah I totally agree and they should give you the first one.

If you "totally agree" then you would know that I have not ever done what I referred to. As you have just done.

Here's your sign.

Not exactly the most coherent topic I have ever seen.
They should give a badge out to OPs who make the topic an incomprehensible, sentence fragment plagued rant and expect everyone to agree with them.

Ok, aside from the "go up to and yell at random people about their conversations", the point mildly makes sense. People shouldn't add to a post to earn a badge, they should add to a post for the sake of conversation.

The topic is 3 words. It is not only coherent, but also concise.
Please, find where I asked everyone to agree with me. See where it asks, "Does anyone else think...". The expectation was to gather opinion. I realize there are people, like you, that cannot offer opinion without also trying to make yourself feel superior by bashing others. But again, this is how the chaff is separated out. Thank you for segregating yourself. Thanks for your opinion, it was noted. Continue to 'flame' if it makes you feel better.

Thanks for the comments.

I have seen many people put up a thread (asking a question, or attempting to gather opinions) in which other seem to do nothing but bash and denigrate others and the OP. I think its silly to offer nothing other than anger and abusiveness. It only serves to show others who they really are, angry and abusive.

"Pointless Poster Badge" is less of a discussion and more of a suggestion. I was reffering to the original post, which is self contradictory. In it you say:

So perhaps you should follow your own advice.

Continue to hypocritically flame if belittling my opinion makes you feel better about yourself.

If you are really that offended by it you should report it so the moderators can deal with it.

The word I used was "silly". Please find where I said that I was offended, and by what degree I was offended.

If I were offended, I would probably just ignore it and move on. Why dwell on things that are offensive when there are so many other things to think about? Maybe anger and abusive propensities?

EDIT: Cool name, Pi_Fighter. Havn't seen one like that before.
