Just kidding, Larry Walker24. I really hope you don't forget what the guys told you earlier. It'll be a blast reading your posts, whether it's over on the ATP/WTA thread or just hanging out anywhere else on the forum. 🙂
Kevin Williams56 said:I already walked you through all of this in our DMs less than a week ago. I even went out of my way to edit one of your posts just to show you how it’s supposed to look, but you totally ignored me and kept doing things your own way.
There's two of you (you and the corporate side) who seem to think this forum is some freaking news site. All you ever do is repost news clips or articles from other sites or forums without adding a single ounce of your own take on what you're copying. Honestly, most of the time, you try to pass these texts off as if they're yours. The corporation actually stepped up their game, but you're still stuck in the same old habits, which is why I had to hand out the ban.
So, let me say it one more time—if you're gonna copy a text, you have to put it in a quote block, like this:
Then, right under the quote, you drop the link to where you grabbed the text from, like this:
http://www.forum.com/showpost.php?p=38298911&postcount=1
or like this:
Link to article
And finally, you write your actual thoughts on the quote, because this forum is a place meant for sharing opinions and debating with others not a dumping ground for random news scraps. If you really prefer that style, then a blog is probably more your speed.
P.S.
Hopefully, seven days from now, you won't be asking how to use quotes again only to get banned once more. 😉
Jose White23 said:Well, you basically answered your own question. Just post the text, drop a link to the source, and give us your take.
I'll just add that nothing's official yet, so maybe move this over to the World on General Topics about Mexico subforum. Once it's actually official, we can start a dedicated thread.
Melissa Castillo said:Look, I’m not even asking for that, you unproven little Larry Walker24. 🙂 😁
I’m just giving you some advice. Since you're already here posting and starting threads—which is cool, by the way—maybe try actually using your brain for once instead of just nesting your shitty opinions under everyone else's quotes. It's not a big deal if you read other people's stuff, but it's a massive issue when you don't have an opinion of your own. Build one. State your case. Stop just copy-pasting articles and start actually saying what you think.
Melissa Castillo said:Dude, you still aren't getting what I'm actually trying to say here.
Just cooperate for once, you little brat. 🙂
Melissa Castillo said:rustydrifter10, if this whole thread is just random nonsense and has zero basis—like, if Larry Walker24 is actually just a helpful guy and I’m just bitter over his style, how popular he is, and those deep thoughts of his that honestly belong in a high-security museum vault—then fine, I'll just go ahead and scatter some ashes and send you a bouquet. Just lock the damn thing now and I swear I won't bring it up again.
Melissa Castillo said:Look at this guy.
Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong.
This is just your typical routine and honestly, I'm getting pretty sick of reading this crap.
I've been lurking on this forum way longer than you have. This thread didn't just pop out of nowhere.
rustydrifter10 said:Just a heads up so you guys aren't blindsided—this thread probably won't stay up for long. If the mods have anything they need to drop, they'll jump in, but until then, just watch how you act.
Melissa Castillo said:Just as I’m typing my reply, the thread gets locked. Great.
To finish my point;
The ignore button is just for weeding out people who annoy me personally, even if they might be useful or interesting to everyone else.
Larry Walker24, let's be real, it serves zero purpose. The posts are shallow, just copy-pasted junk, and if you actually ask them to explain themselves, they won't. What kind of "forum culture" is that even?
What kind of "holy opinion" is that?! Seriously, I'm not stalking you or anything, but every single one of your posts I've stumbled upon is the kind of garbage that deserves to be deleted because it adds absolutely NOTHING to the conversation.
I want the admins to weigh in on this.
Back when I was still a mod, if I saw a post like yours starting a thread or replying, I would've handed you a 3-day ban. Then once you cooled off, you'd get hit again. I honestly still think you have no clue what I'm talking about when I call out your writing style.
Nicholas King said:Man, you totally missed the entire point of why this forum even exists as a way to talk to people.
The whole idea here is discussion and actually sharing your own takes and opinions. If you think someone’s question is stupid, just don't reply. Or, you know, send them a helpful link so they can find the answer themselves. You could even troll them and risk getting a warning—but just dropping a massive wall of text copied straight from
Wikipedia
is a total fail. I honestly have no clue how much fun you're having just pasting external links over and over. It’s not really "forum culture."
Melissa Castillo said:My theory? Larry Walker24 is just some pseudo-intelligent bot script designed to scrape the web and copy-paste text based on keywords from people's questions. Aside from the stuff he rips off never have I seen an ounce of actual thought from him—nothing that shows he’s actually processing a problem. You call him out for starting a thread poorly or remind him he was warned about his posting style, and he just mechanically (! 😁) snaps back with "Tyndall doesn't like me." Like, seriously?! WTF?!
Don't give me that spam
