Reposts??

WHO CARES! NO REPOST NEVER HURT NO ONE!

If you've read it before, ignore it, it will go away.

I sure there are enough members that a little repost won't hurt.

And I agree with McJim, if you put something under a stupid title, expect a repost.

What is actually wrong with reposts?

**Joni** · 10th May 2007, 07:18

In the site rules there is a section called Netiquette, which the site Mods/Admins have asked people to follow... netiquette includes doing a search to see if something has been posted before... its common internet courtesy.

Secondly this server is paid for, and people who post the same thing that has already been posted again and again, are basically taking up unnecessary space.

Do a search if you are not sure...
Spank has always felt quite strongly about that.

Thanks Joni..it was a serious question and wondered whether it was a space thing.

I vote "No" then although how about we look at deleting 'Non-Bike' bike posts (so as to keep important stuff on site for Newbies etc) after say 6 months which would free up some space for re-posts so keeping the Snipers of this world 'appy.

Will take that into consideration GB

One thing tho, and I say this in jest but also sesiously... I dont think Sniper was every interested in the Netiquette/Space site of things, he is just being a smart arse...

Ah now I know why you exhibit the characteristics you do.

As for reposts I don't give a rat - if I see a thread and I've seen the content before I just move on - if everyone did the same and didn't scream "repost" in the thread it would soon die a natural death.

You are actually dead right Joni. It started off being an ordinary day where I quickly found out that once you tell someone they have reposted, they tend to get uppity very quickly. Some I have noticed take it to the extreme and complain that Im even having a go at them personally.

Its a bit of fun and games, and I have also started to provide links so that the content may be merged. Cleans it up a bit.

Everyone on this site has something they type of do to keep themselves amused. Finn and Dover abuse the shit out of people, you either take it to heart (which too many do in this case and in reposts) or you shrug and say, "This is the internet" Different story if they say they are coming over to turn your dog into slippers or something. I say repost and count how many folk I wind up.

For all those that get upset about "repost", I have a great Idea. Go to my profile and click, "Add Sniper to ignore list", then you wont need to see or deal with it

See, Merv has learnt. I remember when he got wound up over one or two repots. He figures now that either Im a slow learner, or if you bite, it makes it more fun

**Colapop** · 10th May 2007, 09:01

If you bite, then the SERIOUS police become involved and the thread gets relegated to PD.

**MSTRS:Me** · 10th May 2007, 09:07

Forgive me for being thick....but what does QRF stand for? Quit Reposting Fucker?

Mmm. Miniskirts can be "re-invented" as many times as possible. Always interesting!!!

**The Pastor** · 10th May 2007, 09:51

Use the search buttons noobs. ESP if its a joke or funny email. We have heard it all before, and no its NOT funny.

**terbang** · 10th May 2007, 10:05

I guess the result of the poll so far displays the QRF's true credibility.

Nah haven't changed my view one bit I always thought it was a waste of space people typing "repost" and still do, it would be like in a verbal conversation saying "shutup, I've heard that before" - a real conversation breaker eh. At least now I know why you do it.

ps. and personally no worries with me, I never get wound up about anything really.
