So I post properly in Chit Chat often

[HBK-aholic]

But the only posts of mine that ever get repped are in the bar room.

 

[klunderbunker]

I think I've tried to rep you in there before, but I have to spread it around a bit first.

 

[HBK-aholic]

I should start posting wrestling more.

 

[klunderbunker]

You should. We miss you over there.

 

[HBK-aholic]

Aw bless.

That's because most of your Chit Chat posts don't aren't really of good quality. Even when I agree with your position, I don't feel like you do a good job explaining it.

you srsly 11?

Sad and Bitter though your statement may be here, Sly, the fact IS that HBK-aholic creates some fantastic threads in Chit Chat that allow people to have the debates in the first place.

If you look at Chit Chat months ago, it was DEAD. Now, thanks to her efforts, the Chit Chat room is not only active, it's FREQUENTED. Wrestling is in such a lull right now, if not for Becca's threads in the Chit Chat section, we would have just that much less to argue about. I'll take her and the work she does over almost anyone, almost any day.

Amen good sir. I love those threads. To me, they're what a bar room should be about: A random topic being thrown out, and hearing people's opinions on it, and she is clearly the leader in there. Thanks for bringing it back to life a bit.

Uh huh.

Sad and bitter? Not at all. I've thought that for a long time.

You're praising her for the topic of her threads, not the quality of her posts. And look at the topics she's posting about. Abortion, Gay Marriage, etc...topics that were hot button issues long before she even joined the forum.

I'm talking about the quality of her posts, not the topic of the threads she starts.


EDIT: And now that I'm looking at it, she didn't even create most of those threads, and the ones she has created, with the exception of one or two, never took off.

I don't believe you. I don't think you cared about it prior. But that doesn't matter, it's not my issue.

And you're criticizing her for posts, highlighting a negative. I am counteracting that by pointing out a positive. And just because the topics aren't groundbreaking primary research doesn't mean they don't create activity and debate.

The Pornography Topic is interesting, Immigration is an important discussion, Obesity is an increasingly hot-button issue that people don't talk about enough, the question of rape being the fault of the victim took off great and is a great thread, Gay Marriage was a HUGE debate here for a bit and has quite a bit of action, the question of the appeal of marriage in today's society is awesome, and the pregnant man topic is a good one. AND THAT'S JUST ON PAGE ONE!

This is another time you and I differ, Sly. No big deal. But this is what it looks like when someone takes a moment to point out the positive as opposed to complaining and pointing out a negative.

Haha, I've been condemning the quality of her posts for a long time. Ask her, she'll tell you.

She was asking why people don't rep her in the Chit Chat forum. I told her it's probably because he quality of posting there isn't very good.

The Pornography Topic is interesting

With a grand total of 6 posts...

Immigration is an important discussion

With a grand total of 8 posts...

Obesity is an increasingly hot-button issue that people don't talk about enough

14 posts...

the question of rape being the fault of the victim took off great and is a great thread

There's one thread.

Gay Marriage was a HUGE debate here for a bit and has quite a bit of action

A thread in which her arguments were clearly inferior to mine. And that's not boasting or arrogant, it's just fact. When posting in that thread, I felt she was more of a hindrance to our side, than helping it.

the question of the appeal of marriage in today's society is awesome, and the pregnant man topic is a good one.

Which garnered a total of 8 posts combined.

AND THAT'S JUST ON PAGE ONE!

Which has topics with the last post being two weeks ago. But, OK. I accept your challenge.

Go ahead and discuss all the great things she did on Pages Two and Three. Show me all of those hot discussions that we had.

This is another time you and I differ, Sly. No big deal. But this is what it looks like when someone takes a moment to point out the positive as opposed to complaining and pointing out a negative.

What else am I supposed to say, when she asks a question to the entire forum? Lie? Tell her that people don't rep her in the Chit Chat forum because they think she smells in the Chit Chat forum, but always seems to wash before the Bar Room? Tell her that she never gets repped in Chit Chat because people don't like the fact she doesn't post more in wrestling? I don't understand IC, how else am I going to describe it?

She asked a question, and I gave her the answer. And since people apparently haven't been repping her in Chit Chat, obviously my statement must not be too far off.

Christ Sly is brilliant.

Dear God, not enough rep flowing around Miss HBK? Surely the amount of kiss-assery and e-affection floating around is suffice enough to someone who obviously craves it so very much.

I'm with Sly. Sure, creating some threads is helpful, but it's not as if it was some sort of Chit Chat revolution that broke new grounds. As for the posts? She's a decent poster. No wait, I've got to think like the female-contact-craving 20 year olds on this board...HBK-aholic is an ingenius saviour to a once dead section of the forums and should be made admin...do you love me now?

does rep on a internet forum get you laid though?

Posters probably hope so anyway.

No, Will's tried already. Do you ever post more than one lowercase sentence, WJX? Just out of curiosity...

I'd do the same for you, DS. And I have done the same for Sly before, and Derf, and several others. I am counteracting some of the negativity with a few compliments. I like to keep it positive. And I happen to think that Sly's post was motivated by his recent infraction, whether or not I agree with it, him, or anything else. I respect the efforts made lately in Chit Chat by everyone who has been working to revive the section, Jake included too.

I don't crave female attention - I am engaged, thus I am dead inside.

The thing that jumps out to me here, is this. Because you let the fact I'm female, and get attention in the bar room cloud everything else you said. I mean, when you disregarded all that you complimented me, but then go on with the comments about other people giving me attention which really should have no standing on what you think of me.

While most of us know the infraction was BS, especially considering Jonny's comments, the fact is that I've been saying the same thing about the quality of her posts long before she even became a mod. This fact really isn't even disputable.

I don't think she's a good poster, never have. I think people like to kiss her ass because she's a female, a fact that she herself admits might be true. I won't apologize for saying I don't think she's a good poster when that's what I really think. I think you're a good poster IC25, and I think you know that already. But the simple fact is, that no matter what I think, obviously I'm not the only one thinking it.

Because if people really thought she was doing such a great job in Chit Chat, wouldn't she have more reps there? So, obviously, I'm not the only who thinking that.

Bar room was never intended for more than one sentence

I won't speak for him, but the way I took that was that he recognizes you as better than the troll or spammer or complete idiot, but doesn't recognize you as someone he feels the need to rep. I feel the same way about a lot of people.

There are a lot of people whose posts are tolerable and I read, but I still don't think they're GOOD.

Like I said, he may have meant something else, but that's how I took it.

I don't care what gender you are, for one.

Secondly, I called you decent. I can think of many posters better. That's hardly a 'compliment'.

Thirdly, you reply to this 'attention' with reciprocation and welcome all the revolting praise and suck-ups you get. It's not as if my opinion of you is shaped by what others think and say to you. So don't think that for a second.

If I hadn't repped you for your post earlier in this thread, you'd be getting one for this post as well. Well said.

she has boobs and is the sex, so she gets priority over everything and gets what she wants
