ZP forum curse

[Viking Incognito]

Why dose it seem like the first two or three posts on the threads for the newest ZP videos always get the poster put on probation even when it is a compliment or something?

Because they comment before they watch the video. Simple as that. Mods see it as a way of trying to get first, which is bad.

One guy even faked having watched an ZP video once (although I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it has happened more than once)

It's not a curse it's a religious ritual.

Anyway they get on probation cause they post before watching the clip. That and because they trolls most of the time.

It's because they've posted before it would be possible to watch it; however many don't get punished, the ones that do are usually ones saying 'FIRST!!!!!'

Because it's a 5-6 minute video, and people post 1 or 2 minutes after it's gone up, making it obvious that they didn't even bother watching the video, and instead wanted the imaginary rush of self-congratulatory hype that comes with being one of the 'chosen few' to christen a new video.

For example, on the most recent one: the first few guys just put "Errrr" and other pointless things at 5.01, and then some guy asked if there was a problem with the video formats (something i've been wondering lately myself) at about 5.03. The first ones were mod-zapped, he was left alone

Most of them are "F1RST!", and it's not just ZP, it's any video. The thing is, if the video is 6 minutes long, and you post in the thread after 2 minutes, you have obviously not watched the whole thing, making your post stupid and invalid.

The reason why is because how are you supposed to comment on a 5 minute video 3 minutes after it was released? Comments are supposed to, well comment. Most of them, compliment or not, are just "FIRST!!!!" comments if you think about it. I've even seen someone have a message that they copied and pasted just so they could be first on two separate videos with a slightly different message.

Also, let's take a quick look at the comments for the most recent video and the times:

"merrrrrrrrrrr

Trolllllllll

Now i've got that out of my system, think i'll pass on this crap. Had enough being disemboweled since i bought Ninja gaiden sigma." -- Posted not even a minute after the video itself.

"awesome." -- Again, posted not even a minute after the video was.

"MMM yeah" -- Posted one minute after the video.

Do you understand now?

 

[rileyrulesu]

if its posted before 12:00 plus the length of the video, you obviously didn't watch it all. thats all

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Because they are commenting on something that they didn't actually watch.
