Enough cry babies have ruined postings here in Season 5

I gave enough warning of a spoiler message
Many of you thought it was fine
We have a few babies here that can not handle it

See my tagline - I added a link to the SPOILER section.
This area will get NO NEWS from me any longer.

I will only be posting in the SPOILER section
Waa Waa to the babies.

Xmas was never the problem, if you have a problem with Xmas then you have a bigger problem with reading. The problem is people not labeling their threads, or bringing up stuff in threads that they shouldn't be talking about.

I for one like Xmas threads and look forward to them. Yes I know about the Spoilers section but when Xmas used to post them in there, nobody would reply. He'd post the exact same thread in here, and it would carry on for 3 pages.

It's too bad that a few whiners had to ruin it for the rest of us. I didn't think a place like this would have them. Oh well, it's not such a big deal.

See that's the thing I've only been here for 2 months so I didn't know that, so I asked him why he didn't post in there and he starts calling me

Everyone seems to be a little testy around here the past few weeks.

exactly my feelings also......and XMAS has always done that....I usually read everything he posts and if theres a spoiler it is always labeled as such...

XMas always marks his spoilers and quite well I thought. Usually you have to follow a link also. If ya can't swing with the big boys, stay off the swingset! Alot of us enjoy XMAs's posts! Keep up the good work!

haha, Xmas has gone and removed his SPOILER posts. He's changed it to -Removed- Whiners Complained-
That's hilarious
:)


Hopefully Xmas doesn't actually stop posting in here.
We need a white flash of light to take us back.

Seriously XMas, don't let whiners ruin it for the rest of us who really dig your posts. I have never commented on people who waste their time acting like the post police....I tend to just feel sorry for them and move on. Let them cry and whine. No biggie but you only encourage and empower them and their bad behavior if you let it change what you do. You ALWAYS mark your posts correctly and give plenty of warning. No harm, no foul. Please don't stop your posts, XMas! I appreciate what you bring to this board, my friend! I need to know stuff!! :)

Yeah, I hear ya. The problem is when people start throwing around information in a regular thread, and then get defensive. Xmas wasn't even the issue at all, it was that stupid "Lose a Lostee on Wed" thread.

Oh ok i was just on that thread! Hmmmm i also looked on the spoiler thread and didn't see any of Xmas's current spoiler titles.

thank you xmas for being the respectable adult that I know you are. Again as I said before I didn't mean to offend you, belittle you, or start an argument. Its just a polite thing to do to place posts where they belong.

Now we just gotta get you to work on using the search function to bring up old posts, so as not to spam the forum.

Yeah that thread was kinda messed up even with that title theres still room for speculation you know maybe we do maybe we don't but somebody just outright said it without sufficient warnings. I hope they were just being stupid. I'll read spoilers but I was suprised at how casual it was from that person

How about blue? As for what would be on it: "Juliet lubs Jeremy"

Of course, only if it's not too much trouble. I'll give you $3.2 mil though if you do. :p

The reason people post spoilers HERE, is because when you post it in the actual spoiler section ALMOST NO ONE reads them, whereas in the season 5 section they get great coverage. I don't post often, but I've been following this forum for a while and I've seen nothing but your contempt for Xmas all the time. I'm just calling you out on that one. In general Xmas is one of the best sources of information on this forum, spoilers or no spoilers. The fact that you belittle someone who puts so much time into his posts absolutely amazes me. Give it a rest, or I might start thinking you're one of those bureaucratic a-holes from the local <enter government funded program here> registration. Everything must be in order!

I had to get that out of my system...
props to Xmas for being the bigger man. Though the argument is, "They've (the whiners) won", we really know who has more of an impact on us as forum readers. The whiners have lost and XmasDVD is goin' out of Season 5 forums in style.

I'm going to PM xmas and ask him to continue posting here. (Even though I don't read spoilers). And let's not give Navyguy a hard time. I don't think he meant to be harsh, just giving his opinion. He's a good guy.

I have already specified to xmas that i did not mean him and he is in fact the perfect example of how a spoiler should be labelled (both in the thread and in a PM) so not sure why he has gotten so upset and I don't think I really appreciate being called names either...particularly when I wasn't remotely disprespectful in my request.

Im sorry I don't mean to upset every1. I have no beef against any1. Im just saying 'common message board ettiquet'. I may have reposted (spammed) a few times and im sorry. I just recently discovered the thread seach in this forum tho and started using it.

I'm not a fan of spoilers, all I ask is that a spoiler warning be included with the thread. Xmas never had a problem with this, it was some other people who don't put a warning in the thread. As long as I'm forewarned, I'm good.

loadclr
02-10-2009, 02:25 PM
Go ahead and post the spoilers...

I'm not a fan of posting them anywhere except the spoiler section but, the long-timers here don't care so that is where I'll base my view of current board etiquette.

This is why I lurk around boards before I ever post... Every board is different and each one has it's very own take on how, when, and where things should be posted...

I hope Xmas does continue to post, his are great.

Navyguy whined about Xmas in at least one other thread that I know of. It is like he just doesn't like him. I mean it was funny how he did it too. Navyguy b*tched at him for not using the search function in that other post, as he did here too, because he (Xmas) posted a thread very simalar to another one. Then one day later, I saw two posts from Navyguy that where made with in minutes of each other that were very similar to two other posts. I felt like replyinig that he also need to use the search function too but I didn't want to be rude. However, when I read in his post earlier in this thread that He was glad to see Xmas was going to post elsewhere and that now all he needed to do was to learn to use the search funtion, I thought, "What a jack-a$$ he is to be lecturing someone else about how to post here"

Navyguy has a burry up his a$$ for Xmas. For what ever reason I don't know.

Lets be nice here and keep our opinions related to the wonderful program that is "Lost" and not give our thoughts about the other users here. I think if anyone is to be upset about a post it would be the moderator here. So far, I haven't seen where he/she has reprimanded Xmas one time for his posts. THe way I see it, if the owner/moderator of this page is ok with it, so am I!

Xmas, please continue to post what ever youwant here, I'll read it. Your posts are great! I look forward to seeing what you post.

Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox now!

The way I see, when someone gets called out, just take your lumps, fix it and move on.

I totally agree that XmasDVD should keep doing what he is doing. He ALWAYS lets everyone know on his posts that their is a spoiler involved. Keep them coming Xmas! Don't let a few cry babies ruin it for the rest of us. :)

to be honest, with the rudeness and bad attitude he displayed in response to the spoilers request, i dont think i will miss any of that tantruming (which began AFTER I sent him a PM to let him know this was not about him at all....weird huh...)

and for the record - you can always just go to doc artz, exactly the same info is posted there so i hear.....:confused:
