AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the perceived decline in the quality of posts in the General Discussion (GD) forum, with participants expressing frustration over the prevalence of low-quality threads and senseless content. Users reflect on specific threads they find particularly lacking and share their thoughts on the behavior of certain members, particularly one named "yomamma," who has been criticized for creating wordless threads. Despite this, there are indications of improvement in his posting habits. The conversation also touches on the concept of "most improved member" awards, with some users debating whether such recognition should be given to those who have shown significant growth or to consistently good contributors. Grammar and language skills are also discussed, with humor about the deterioration of English among forum members. Overall, the thread highlights concerns about forum quality, user behavior, and the dynamics of improvement and recognition within the community.

GD is already pretty low, after franzbear and all, but I think that This takes the cake.

What are some of the stupidest threads you've seen?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Avatars have sunk to a new low.

Correct grammar is important.
 
Check out my new thread.
 
mattmns, that's been done
 
GD sank to a new low in the middle of the second quarter when a torrent of senseless posts began. Why won't it go away? :frown: :cry: :devil:

It's not you yomamma.
 
I have nothing to do!

You are the one who has problems with horrible threads here, so why don't you stop making them! :devil:

Yomamma has a lot of company in that department, and actually his aren't irritating, which I can't say about some others.

No beating up on yomamma, if Brewnog doesn't return soon, yomamma will get the "most improved member" award during the annual guru ceremony. :approve:

:bugeye:

How has he changed since he first came? I thought he has always been identical... and doesn't an improvement require a change :confused:
I'm not saying yomamma is a bad user, I just don't see how he changed, unless you mean him becoming a... him

Can you honestly tell me that yomamma doesn't make too many "hmm" and "..." threads which have no words in them whatsoever. One or two is fine, but ehhh.

EDIT: GAH!, I forgot I have a history test tomorow .

What's your test on?

yomamma has improved and he's promised not to start anymore wordless threads.

what about me?

1824-1855 in the US, basically industrial revolution

He promised he wouldn't? Yay!

How did yomamma act before he improved?(or I will search for his old posts...)

What about ME? Evo, don't you remember me when I first got here? I think I've improved more than that twerb.

That reminds me of a few other members I had in mind a few days ago. I'll try to remember so they can get a bit of credit possibly for their "improvements".


This improvement thing is rather stupid anyway, just like those girls you go out with guys who beat them, and then if the guy starts beating them slightly less often, they start thinking he is the best guy in the world... Also like when an o:) decides (s)he wants an award and becomes a :devil: and then turns back into an o:)

EDIT: That was trippy, I submitted and Evo's post was below mine

EDIT2: Evo, would you rather have members which have always been good, or members which at first were horrible then became better? I think this award should be for people who have always been good, but who really made an effort to help out in answering people's questions and making good threads.

Hmmm, I will have to go back and read some of your first posts, but I don't remember you being particularly bad.

I didn't really read the rules.

I supposedly was being discriminative against some groups
I was joking with Ivan, and he didn't get it, and I got warned
and something else

So you improved by reading the rules as compared to before when you didn't? Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this :cry:

It has to be a member that started off shaky and then saw the light - the bright shining beacon of PF - and raised their hands to the skies and said hallelujah brothers and sisters, I have seen the light.

or something like that

Oooh, that would be a good reason to get the award. I like that suggestion. :approve:

Zero threatened to ban everyone. Zero banned almost everyone he threatened. :-p

I took Zero's place as mentor in GD & Politics.

How often did you post in politics?

Yomamma, Zero was the PF mentor in GD & politics before me. I replaced him when he got a life.

Evo said:

I don't think I ever did. I saw him publically say stuff to miscreants in GD threads, though.
 
  • #34

Does that mean you don't have a life now? :biggrin:










Please don't ban me, I was born with a smart mouth... :frown:

I don't even remember my first post...

Would i be most improved by virtue of having disappeared and erasing the memories of my past crimes?

I got threatened for bullying Mr Robin Parsons, lol. That stupid homeless bum that saved the US taxpayers 40,000,000,000 dollars.

I can't even remember my first post, must have been something stupid though.

He was a Canadian, and his money argument was with the Prime Minister of Canada.

I saw Mr Robin Parsons just the other day (on line). I was researching something and a blurb in google was a post by MRP at a forum. He's alive and kicking.

Yomamma's etiquette may have improved, but not his grammer :frown: (and don't tell me how to spell that last word). Has anyone here actually improved their language skills through posting in or reading PF ?
