Litiquette

LOL....excellent points.

But I need answers. Right now I'm stuck in this thread waiting five minutes before I can bump an already bumped thread. Which, it seems totally pointless saying nope to the six guys that gang posted the one female.

And to the... respond at the top in a PM:

I delete the quote in my response. What can I say, I like a fresh bowl.

This

I like the smilies...they convey the intent....too many times things are taken wrong.

This too.

For me, I only like responding to PMs at the bottom and I am a mobile user. When I click in the box it takes me to the bottom.

And come on, it's just logical. Left to right. Top to bottom. Unless you're a Hebrew or maybe Arabic reader.

Pretty much this.

Thank you!!! This is soooo needed. I get many PMs behind the scenes from people who don't get my sarcasm or humor, or lack of in their eyes.

Anybody that doesn't get your sarcasm isn't worth PM'ing in the first place.

well if we need a sarcasm smiley why don't we agree on one

I’m curious about a few things from this thread. If I’m not allowed to PM without invitation, how do I ever get into someone’s inbox other than trolling the Request a PM thread. I'm really tired of telling guy's my dirtiest fantasies.

I think it's more about getting random "wanna see my dick" PMs. Or PMs from people who have never once interacted with you on the forum and their sole reason for messaging you is wankery. Start first with the dick pic.

Just my two pence.

Also, my previous post is the reason why I need sarcasm font. Because I'm certain someone will mistake that for real and we will have compounding sarcasm detection problems!

It was there in invisible ink. You needed the magic decoder ring.

Damn. I think it got thrown out with the empty Lucky Charms box.

I give a 3min grace period, because being on a mobile device usually it takes that extra bit for the electrons to all sort themselves out in the universe. Then the gal can take her pick out of her many posting suitors to respond to. If you are deliberately ignored...she just ain't into you.

Now if it's a "nope" bump from another guy, just to have his post at the bottom, then a suitable amount of wrath may be flung his way in his attempt to virtual cockblock.
Some slack may be given in a pity post if he seems overly desperate that day.

Then there is also the strain of female posting attention whores, who just post "nope" "never" "not a chance" all day long. For them I save Mike Yates's dick.


The rivers of Litiquette are turbulent ones...but the above is generally how I navigate.

Well done, You found my peeve. The occasional smile, rose, heart, or wink is fine to let tone be understood. The eye roll can come off condescending. The frog and banana can be used once in a post and then must have a two day cooling off period. The caning one should remain in the BDSM forum at all times. The cool shades one can basically stay up the poster's ass. You're not cool, but you're trying to be and failing. The devil one tells me you're way overestimating your un-vanilla side. The rest can be used on random occasions for effect.

But I will say, when will someone finally write code to allow a sarcasm font?

A board I was on had a custom where people could type in blue to indicate sarcasm.

Ah, you countered my facetious post with sarcasm. I think there's an unwritten rule about that. We'll have to see what the East German judge thinks.

Won't that screw up everyone in the thread where blue indicates male and red is female?

 

[ydahecnot]

I was not aware of that custom

Oh shit...not the East German judge...always bad for the Canadians!

And here we use blue as a way to passive aggressively tell a guy he's a complete tool. But that is a good idea.

 

[ChainedUp]

Mobile and probably lazy on my part, but I hate using the font color thing.

 

[wombat9966]

I personally like this one for sarcasm :-> it seems about right.

And it dosn't work on this forum

 

[ChainedUp]

Call me a sarcasm snob but if you need to be told it's sarcasm, what's the point.

 

[ydahecnot]

That was the feeling of some on that other board

 

[wombat9966]

very true but there are those truly ignorant people who just seem to not be able to tell when it is being used.

 

[ChainedUp]

Damn. I think it got thrown out with the empty Lucky Charms box.

I have a spare but you'll have to pay for getting a replacement

Separating the perpetually butt hurt from people with a sense of humor?

There is value to that, but I'm opposed to dumbing down the content. That begs, should sarcasm even be used, that would prevent butt hurt

 

[luvthedesserts]

Okay, an actual somewhat serious question:

What's the rule on quoting someone. It seems there's two camps regarding this one. I've had to do it because I actually form my response in the form of a paragraph instead of, "Yea, I'd do her." So, it takes me a bit to post. I do find it's easier to follow a conversation if they're quoting the person they're answering.


And to the Butt Hurt subject: Sarcasm should always be used. You find out who to avoid on the threads and who's worth engaging.

Now wheres the fun in that

Some sarcasm is hard to read, especially in the virtual world. When you start mixing word play into it, that can make it even harder to understand for some.

At least that's my experience. I'm here to have fun, not piss people off.

Agreed, fun should be paramount.
