Sprinklers

Posted by Captain Sarcastic
654 days ago


I don't normally pay any attention to anyhting but myself but I had an idea for your flame problems here. I'ver been to many sites and this "flame wars" here is a joke, a walk in Shea Stadium in October, quiet.

But If you limited comment posts, to a limit of say... 5 per article, per user, you'd effectively have "sprinklers" built in for these famous, flame wars. Sprinklers, Get it?

And on the other end of the comment spectrum, limit posts to 500 words, and call it the "Manny rule", in his memory That dude was wordy, damn.

If you can't get your point across, in a maximum of 2,500 words on one article, post an article of your own, damm fool!

P.S - this post contains less than 34% sarcasm.

Calling it the "Manny Rule" is stupid, and flaming in itself.

Just because you have an inability to articulate yourself for 2,000 words, or an attention span to stay focused on such a task, doesn't mean others can't enjoy pieces of length.

This is errily close to troll like behavior masquerading as sarcasim and jokes, I don't like this like KD doesn't like soccer.

Oh, I can articulate myself all night. I have lots of practice and stamina.

Where there's smoke there's usually fire. These flame wars always start with some smoke.

Waybe we can use the French word for "Shower" instead of 'sprinklers'... GET IT???

Actually smoke comes from fire, not the other way around. And in a comment asserting that you can articulate yourself, you may want to double check and make sure you correctly spelled everything.

"These flame wars always start with some smoke."

Again, fire produces smoke, not the other way around.

Spelling mistakes aren't semantics, just an attempt to get under your skin, a successful one at that.

I don't know what sementics are, and I don't want to know. Whatever you do in your private life is none of my business.

I misinterpeted Cpt.'s idea. I'm sorry, and actually agree that word limits on comments would be a decent idea.

I forget to post a little piece of my opinion on the matter...

A limit on comments? NO

Why? I wouldn't be able to express myself through mindless babble.

Maybe, we should call it the French word for "Shower", instead of "Sprinklers"?

The French are very articulate

Douche, seems pretty fitting!

Well, this would be my last post, under my proposal, nubmer 5. It would be up to the community, to use this tool. I've seen it work on other websites before. But if you guys, want to act like little bitches, becuase you can't enjoy stuff properly, go ahaead, see if I give you an free tips anymore.

Here's one that would squelch you're wars before they start too. Don't believe anything you read on the internet, and you won't have to worry to defend yourself, about anything.

Have a great day (now there's sarcasm 4U)

Long articles are fine with me. It's more of a personal choice of the writer. I for example really don't read very lengthy articles. I'd prefer part I, part II, part III- like the Black articles that were being done. No need for a word count but I do think it would be wise by an author's stand point to limit and break the article down in smaller chunks.

You don't withhold very long, do you Frank?

The point of this post seems to be about too many comments from users tend to lead to flame wars.

It is implying nothing about the article's length,

In fact it says if you have SO MANY comments to make in the comments section, just write your own article!


Y'all need some help with the words coming in AND the words coming out, eh?
