Whoo! My puke smilie is getting some good use!

LOL

That Sounds Good!

Anyway, i don't see the need of your utter hatred of those simple terms. Much like PureEvil said, who cares?

Well, if worse comes to worst, you can ignore people who are consistently spamming. I think you do it by going into their profile and hitting something. I'm not exactly sure because I can't ignore people. I'm a moderator, and I'm sure Jin knows exactly what that entails.

Anyway, just ignore their posts and the page will load much more quickly for you.

Now, what we need to do is work on sig pictures...

I see your point, Jin, but I suggest you quickly find a way to get over your distaste. Pointless posts always have been a part of message boards, and always will be a part of message boards.

And why not, really? Who says every single post has to be unbelievably intelligent or thoughtful? These things are about "expressing" how we feel, and what we're thinking, aren't they?

If someone reads a post and finds it funny, then replies "LOL," who cares? They thought it was funny, and made mention of the fact that they thought it was funny. Does their little reply hurt you? Are you overcome with some kind of unbearable emotional trauma upon reading that?

Of course not, so get over it. If someone wants to make a stupid reply that's just a short sentence or whatever, it's fine. No big deal there.

Personally, I would be more concerned with the fact that you're actually bothered by this (And so much so as to actually give it mention), as opposed to just overlooking it like everyone else.

If phrases like "LOL," or "That sounds cool," or "I agree" are getting to you as much as you seem to be letting on, maybe you just aren't a message-boardy kind of person. But really, whatever.

It's happened before, and it's going to happen again. I promise. Rewarding doubloons to those who post thoughtfully isn't going to solve the fact that people just want to spout off the first thing that comes to mind when they read something.

The simple fact is: You're just going to have to get used to it. Pointless posts really bothering you that much? Maybe you should try covering your eyes...

Never thought this would happen..But I 100% agree with PE on this subject...

*Hides in shame*

I told myself I wouldn't do it...I said I would never..But he ruined it...He will pay...

*Sees Nova hit Xanny with a lead pipe*

hahah..nevermind..

I see what your saying but some of us don't have time to make long insightful posts. Very straightforward and direct about all we have time to do.
