First posting...

**evilmegaman** · September 3rd, 2002, 06:26 PM

I have been getting pissed about this no first posting because first posting has been around forever! Plus that takes the whole reason of the news streamer away! Did you ever like first posting? Or always hated it? Or is it a tradition that just is..?

it pisses me off, everytime, "first post" "second post". who gives a shit!

cancer has been around forever too, i'd like to see them both go

first posting started out as an unfunny joke, and then became the ultimate lamer detector

the people who first post are the same ones who light their farts and watch "the man show" -- you know, the lowest form of non-protozoan life

let it die

cracker jacker what was your vote?

that if you dont have something productive, on topic, or funny to say you should just think for a minute longer and come up with something. 1st posting may or may not be a tradition.. I dont know except to say that if it is then its a tradition for a small percentage of zeropaid memebers. Personally I think its traditions like that one that keep many people away from zeropaid, people who could add much to this little community instead of proclaiming their ability to constantly refresh their browser for hours on end.

Its not tradition its something that a few lame people started last year and has been popular with the "kids" ever since... Trying to show off their intelligence by showing they can count to 1, 2 and maybe 3...

Ever since the zeropaid news streamer came out we don't have to keep refreshing our browsers! :D:black

the news streamer is to stay current on the news and stay informed and on topic, not to become the ultimate 1st post tool to bring us to lower levels of idiocy

Doesn't bother me much but I don't like it. Wheels on mice were invented for stuff like this.

These people probably write it on the daily crossword in the newspaper after getting up at 5:30 AM.

They couldn't actually DO the crossword, I don't think.

:devil Gotta agree with Gorphon. We should try to keep the topics on topic. All the 1st post crap breaks up the threads which is what I want to read.

While I find it distracting and detracting at times and pretty damn stupid at other times I really could care less. It does, however, have a negative effect on the site as a whole. This is evidenced by visiting the "other" sites and listening to some of the negative feedback. We are looked at as "juvenile" and alot of ZP people have migrated to those sites because of the posts that have been made on this site. I don't know if censoring the posts is the answer. Tradition or not it's not helping the site as a whole. I like to have fun like the next guy but I try to temper my comments and not make rude racist comments or personally attack someone for their opinion. I generally try to add to the experience.
E Pluribus Unum ( out of many - ONE)
Just my 2 cents

if only i could trust more ppl to mod news comments....

**lion7718** · September 4th, 2002, 03:14 AM

I don't think there is anyway to stop this, accept by getting rid of the post a comment altogether.
Why doesn't the Mod who Posts the Story make the 1st Post? But then they will surely fight for the 2nd....lol :shy
