That could be true. Maybe if the rule had comedically discretionary application.
Responding to bad posting with terrible posting is sure to improve the quality of threads around here.
I do this
I do that too, I feel it's more efficient to look at the New Posts page and open in new tabs all the threads I want to read than to click back and forth between pages. So if the autoplay is unlabeled then I have no idea which tab is causing the annoying noise.
or control-tab/shift-control-tab on pc I think
I use tabs and windows because I'm fabulous and make the most of my resources
That's amazingly close.
not anymore, I don't think
It's called "New Posts" and then you queue up threads you want to read.
You know, it's a feature in every vbulletin forum ever.
Don't call me a dickweed or a silly butt as I find those terms very racist and offensive to my race! The race of marijuana smoking dick butts.
Plus like I said more efficient to open them all at once.
why does everything have to be a personal attack against you?
I open tabs for all the new threads I haven't read. It's actually more efficient because I only have to look at the 'whats new' page once and then close it.
brb posting smellyodick on the frontpage
It's less "No autoplays ever" and more "Please give us a heads up when you're going to post some autoplay." Remember, there was no [ap] tag on the Heineken thread when this thread was posted, that came later.
I added that when I read this thread.
I guess there had been some people complaining earlier, so I was probably kind of slow about it. I'll try to do that stuff ahead of time in the future. If anyone ever catches an untagged autoplay and it's taking forever to get tagged, PMing an online mod would probably work.
Not that this thread was a terrible idea; I think we've decided on a decent way to handle the situation. Now we won't need a new thread the next time somebody has the same idea.
I'm trying to set a precedent for the future, not get clam banned.
It doesn't make a difference really if every thread has autoplay or one does, still same level of annoying.
Also assume every one of my angry swear posts are because it's late or I'm drunk or someone irl has pissed me off or something.
And thank goodness the majority doesn't agree with you. We've tried the no autoplay thing in years past, and it really doesn't work.
So it's ok for you to be annoying because you're a drunk with a temper, but if somebody posts AP we'd better go crack some fucking skulls!
So when do initiatives get closed? Is the staff going to outline something about how you will treat autoplays, or will it be totally thrown out since the majority voted no?
My point still stands. APs are fucking annoying and dumb. I was just apologizing for using many swear words.
You should also apologize for repeating Clam's AP while simultaneously complaining about it. I believe that goes under the category of "shit stirring." Speaking of which have you done anything productive with your time lately besides just complain?

I often browse the forums listening to music. It annoys me when an autoplay appears in a thread outside of the spam forum. In the past we had a policy of no autoplays outside the spam forum. I would like to bring this back.

There's no solution to your terrible posting. We've been trying for years. You still lie a lot, still put your two cents where it's unwanted, and you're still obnoxious. So what do you suggest we do about that? I couldn't simply ask you to grow up and act like a decent human being because that would be too difficult, so what else is there?

It's supes annoying when you have multiple threads open and there's just one where some cunt put an autoplay in, without labelling the title, and you have to spend ages closing and opening a bunch of tabs which just sucks the funny out of it.

I've never really found it much a detriment to just turn down my speakers and find the offender. However I seem to use the most archaic version of forum browsing ever, I just tab forums from the index and then enter threads from there.
It does get really annoying with the million ap situations but it only is detrimental when it almost crashes your browser like some pages in the CCBT do.
