List stuff how to spot bad replies

Let’s collect a list of flags to help avoiding wasting time reading complete garbage on these forums. Also to have some self irony on being part of this community and to poke out some fun from fellow forum users :smile:

I don’t want to be racist, but…: The following text will definitely be racist.

Following your logic…: There’s no logic to be found on the next sentence(s). Just typing the word ‘logic’ seems to often adversely effect on the logical processes of the poster.

Let me repeat/I repeat…(repeating the same stuff on the same reply): The person who wrote this thinks other readers are too stupid to have understood it on the first time. There’s no noise to cause people not hearing well, nor are the texts on top of each other, so unless we are talking risks grave enough to have possibility to cause nuclear catastrophes, repeating stuff is completely redundant. These replies contain senseless rants not worth bothering to read.

So you’re saying…: Probably over 50% chances of freshly baked straw man argument coming up. I should start counting the frequency of this. Which reminds me the next one to add on the list :grin:

90/99% of players…: Meaning the poster strongly wants to believe he’s right but he pulled the statistics out of the end part of his digestive system.

(Someone creating yet another thread about the same topic with no new info nor substantially different angle how to view it): Means he just wants to be spoon fed and he hardly ever reads other topics on these forums. Especially announcements/news because they are longer than few lines and exceeds his processing limits. Don’t expect him to be able to provide anything worth discussing about. Some of these thread spammers are also chronic attention posters.

Also, when two people are arguing on these forums, the angrier and more swearing one is very often the one who’s mistaken and plain wrong, no matter what the topic is about.

I’ll post more later if I spot/remember more of cliches especially common on these forums. Please contribute your findings too. Listing other silly phenomena are also welcome :relaxed:

Edit: Some of these aren’t particularly my original ideas/things I noticed myself. I just listed all those I find amusing to spot relatively often on these forums.

Following your logic, I repeat, your logic, you’re saying that 90% of players on the forums play the game.

Whenever I see one of those (and many others), I just paste a bait image and get on with my life.

BTW,

So this thread wasn’t an exception? :smile:

Anyways, here’s one more:
Simple solution = the person suggesting it hasn’t put any real thought into it and still thinks it’s the best idea ever.
