EmployeeoftheMonth Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 A place for articles to be posted without any thoughts of our own. We made a youtube thread to keep a bunch of youtube videos being posted in their own thread when that became a problem so this makes sense. If people are so lazy and need attention so badly that they need to furiously post an article without adding any thought as citizens of the world they should have a place to do so and as a family of forum members we should embrace them and give them such a place. I'll get'er started and just link all the ones we already have on the first page of off topic. http://forum.canucks.com/topic/366045-black-cops-fear-other-cops/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/365930-toronto-man-finds-woman-with-ex-girlfriends-name-for-free-trip-around-world/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/366022-canadas-got-an-inequality-problem/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/366031-mass-man-faces-charges-after-police-notice-put-wings-on-pigs-post/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/365949-texas-closer-to-open-carry-of-handguns/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/365981-oil-investors-carl-icahn-john-paulson-lose-big/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/366011-ohio-town-threatens-legal-action-against-zombie-baby-jesus-nativity-scene-on-mans-lawn/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/365860-koch-bros-group-on-the-epa-at-least-the-cia-isnt-torturing-americans/ http://forum.canucks.com/topic/365923-40-year-old-man-with-robotic-arms/ That's just the first page of off topic...

Monty Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 While I have never posted in any of Freebuddy's threads, nor care for them, I find it very odd how worked up you get by them. Is it not easy to just ignore his threads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 While I have never posted in any of Freebuddy's threads, nor care for them, I find it very odd how worked up you get by them. Is it not easy to just ignore his threads? Just like other threads (redundant, spam, etc.) it makes it harder to find the threads you want to discuss. As the list of threads indicates, freebuddy posts so many that it inundates any other attempts at good topics. Now, this thread does nothing to help that since freebuddy would be the last person to post an article in an aggregate thread like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I don't really find enough going on in Off-Topic to really care if Buddy posts an article or two every couple days.Some of them are half-decent reads, others are simply laughable (especially the obligatory posts immediately afterwards attacking him as a person). If you really don't like it, don't click on it and let the mods deal with it if they really think it is a massive problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 While I have never posted in any of Freebuddy's threads, nor care for them, I find it very odd how worked up you get by them. Is it not easy to just ignore his threads? The majority of freebuddy's threads are copy paste of entire articles. I am not going to read a 3 page long article. I expect someone creating a thread to include a small blurb containing the points of the article. If it is of interest I will click on the link and read the rest of it. This way you don't take away traffic from the sources either. I also expect a poster to post an article with a similar subject matter in one thread. It avoids clutter and makes it easier for the mods as well as the other posters. I have some experience moderating so its easy to say "Stop complaining and let the mods handle it" but its not so easy when you are the mod who has to sit there and clean up a forum. So I don't see anything wrong with a poster who is trying to make everyone's life easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not easy to just ignore his threads? Ah c'mon Monty. You've seen me worked up before I'm sure and this is far from that. It's easy to ignore anything but then we'd have to pretty much ignore off topic. That's the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
