Seems like more and more newbies and JAT are comming on here. Few make good and decent points in their posts. Others seem to think that posting as many topics as they can will earn them some respect (guess being a regular matters to some) and maybe allow them to win a game.

If you read a post with a few words or letters attempting to make up words. DON'T REPLY!

If you reply you just encourage it, even if it is with the usual "This sucks"
Just let their topics drop and hopefully they will realise the standards of most on these forums is a little higher than thouse who can write their own name without drooling all over the page.

It might be worth pointing out to them what posts people like and why the one line of crap they write will have people judge them straight away.

Lets try get this place back to some kind of normality with some decent stuff to read.
Please?

Er...no. I think that if you look closely enough, it was indeed a JAT.

And you are the ignoramus.

Check the winners list. Look at what others win for and try come up with something original worth reading.
Something that is a good read, long enough to make sense, be funny or to get all the points across.
With a bit of luck, good writing you might win something.

One person quietly telling the rouge poster to wise up is slightly different from what actually happens - five posters jump on him, each using "moronic" in a slightly different manner.

You can usually tell from the suject heading that it's a junk post, I just don't bother reading them anymore. Possibly rajpal keeps up with the bizzare posting because he enjoys the reaction.

rajpal's mistakes are hardly minor. Surely he should be disposed of, he should know the run of the place by now, except I don't think he reads any posts other than his own, and he rarely, if ever, replies to them either. It's almost like he starts a topic, then never looks at it again...

*claps*

My thoughts exactly - we get one silly post from a JAT followed by ten regulars lynching him in some kind of mildly pathetic pack attack (and creating far more pointless volume that the original post). It’s easy to be part of the crowd, hard to be the guy who isn't sure how the place works. We may have scared off people just browsing who could have become valued posters because they see how newbies get slaughtered for the most minor thing.
