I think that what used to generate at least a "why wasn't this a PM" from some users is now generating a great level of disinterest from others.
When Hattrick threads and HornsManiac college football threads got out of control in the past, we create separate forums. I think that may be an over reaction in this case, so here's what I propose:
Can we all just assume that if we see a "Ping" thread, that everyone can wonder why they didn't use the PM functions of the board? We all know you "ping" thread writers are very confused people ... we GET it.
I fully understand there will be three reactions to this: (1) a quiet "finally, somebody here is making sense" from a majority of users; (2) a loud "this is American, not China, go f*ck yourself" from a smaller number of users; (3) at least one "ping" thread.
I can't tell you how annoying it is to come here for a five minute break at the office and have to scan through "ping" threads or, better yet, "ping: JeeberD" threads that are not obviously "ping" threads that make you wonder what the discussion is about only to discover to learn it is about nothing.
Fight the power! Next time you get the urge to post a "ping" thread, just chortle to yourself and go to China and go f*ck yourself.
