I have noticed that some people answer to all posts with stupid remarks only to get them up a notch.
A year ago we got results from Masters and Grandmasters etc.
They have now seem to have left this forum.
The new one's seem to know ziltch about anything.
I suppose I will be banned now.

Only problem I can see, is that it should be in the off topic section. :rolleyes: ;)

What problem did you have?

p.s Reminds me of this photo (read the last comment)

Post Count

You'll always get people like that...

Who cares? Does it really matter, only thing is you have to filter through the crap to get the usefull info... I tend to read and keep quite unless I have something constructive to add, unless the topic isnt really intended to be anything else but destructive :D
 
Stupid comments just to gain points. That is my main gripe.
I don't care if I am a NEWBE or SUPERGRANDMASTER. I need good answers.
We had people from MTN that have now ducked and had good results from them.
 
No question, just my personal gripe or venting.

I agree with all of that :)

The height of materialism when you honestly care about a post count, and judge others opinions based on their post count. Shame :)
 
Have you heard of EGO posting? It goes hand in hand with EGO surfing, when you add your posting name in google or other search engines and see how many hits you get.

Same as people who buy a Hummer... over compensation for lack in the downstairs dept.
 
Jikes, it is long...

*fixed* :p

Have to agree. Just read/skip through the seemingly useless posts then. But it seems like he is then still left with no answers to his question(s) - could be a minor problem.

Reps from other companies are not made as welcome as those from Vodacom for some reason - and that network seems to have the run of the forum - again a question that has been raised before but never fully answered.

Show me that please? How are they not made welcome? I'd love an answer to this one.

No, you will not be banned now, seems like you want to be banned? :confused:

Looking back at your previous posts...
Who/what pissed you off this badly? Is it the MTN connection acting up? Is your daughter on mxit again, not answering your calls? This is just a forum you know, don't go about Expecting answers to every question you can ever conger up. People have lives and they'll post at 3am or whenever they feel like it. There is a significant crowd that spend their time here at that time of the night.

Since when does 'Masters/Grandmasters' mean anything? Are you Expecting good answers Only from them? You've got it all wrong mate. You get some people on here with only a few posts that provides Excellent answers/solutions!

In any case, I think you are bothered by something else here... maybe by some of the TK members that have become a bit bored there and have started posting in other threads as well? :p

What points? It is called postcount by the way.

I was kind of right. You are expecting good answers. While that is ok, you cannot go ranting about if you don't get any. Just hang in there, you'll get an answer, or some kind of answer, sometime... within the next 100 years (depending on what was asked). ;)

Did the MTN rep disappear? How can you rant about that? There is no way that “the forum” can force any rep to stay here...surely you realise that?

Why is this in the MTN forum? :confused:

Good Question. Maybe it is targeted at the MTN subforum?
 
It's like the wikipedia effect. I read sometime back that wikipedia doesn't even bother implementing measures to curb the trolls that edit content with useless information. The only thing they do is to leave it for a day or two and then it reverts. This causes the trolls to do their duty and go on to the next target.

The same applies here. The "useless" comments and "trolls" posting it stay a while, but longer when they are fed, after a while especially when ignoring them they leave, because they get no reward.

Ignore mode and actually just leaving it be is the best (not always as easy, but the best)
 
I'm still just a member i need to do this.:mad:

Need to do what? Post useless posts? But Why? Why do you need to do this?

No, seriously... Big deal, you are a member, I'm also a member, Heck 100% of the members of MyADSL is members of MyADSL :p
 
Thank you for that. We don't need people posting in just for the sake of points as if they will be wearing them on their shoulders.
If you don't have a good answer, don't post. We are here for each other.
Rather go to "off topic" if you want points.
