I learned Something New Today

[NotInchoateHand1]

When your account is banned/locked, they send you PMs explaining what a [censored] you are. At least, thats what I assume the PMs say, because they banned/locked my account. I can see the mail icon, and it says 2 new messages, but I can't open them, because I have been banned locked. Let this be a message that you can receive for all those who are not banned/locked but who are tempted to quote too much. Quoting too much is bad. It can get you banned/locked, at which point you won't be able to read the PMs explaining that you are banned/locked.

[NotInchoateHand1]

Good, I'm glad this forum is well looked after. I can no longer see the mail icons. Nevermind, nothing to see--now when you are banned/locked, you will have only the visual distraction of your own guilt, for quoting too much.

[NotInchoateHand1]

I wonder how long it will take me to become a Poobah if I only post in this thread. You guys don't mind looking over some hands, do you?

[AngryCola]

I'll bite.

Why did you get banned?
You mentioned quoting too much, but you didn't really explain.

[nothumb]

Probably it was the cursing, dude.

Although the ironic thing is that 'm-f-er' (you know, everyone's favorite 12-letter expletive) is not censored. Mat, might want to look into that bro.

You know the whole "quote within a quote" LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, witty thing we morons do? Well, I did it. About 38 pages of MSWord worth, crashed my computer, and I'm imagining Mat's too. Thusly, I am banned. I learned something new today.

[NotInchoateHand1]

No, not the cursing, 'cause those posts are still up. Just the very big quote is gone.

lol

I've never done that, but I can believe it would be the reason for your account being locked. Were you told this was the reason, though? Just curious.

EDIT-
Ah, nevermind. I got my answer in your reply to NT.

[NotInchoateHand1]

No, I wasn't told the reason, but that post was deleted. I was, however, PM'd the reason, but of course, my account is banned/locked, so I can't read it.

[lighterjobs]

so, who were you? can you say, or will your new account get locked up?

[NotInchoateHand1]

I don't know, its pretty hard to guess. Give me a minute to think about it.

I'm going to be really upset if my last post ever to 2+2 under my original assumed name is in a thread on michael jackson. And I didn't even get molested.

That would be funny, but you should know by now that you don't have to worry about getting your account back.

damn. i guess i should pay close attention to your name next time. sorry.

[NotInchoateHand1]

Yeah, but I have no idea what email address I registered the account under, so I may be stuck with this one. On the plus side, if you ever are banned, trust that you can still click through the link and order 2+2 Logo Shirts! from Conjelco.

Poor baby.

Just e-mail Mat from your current e-mail address.
I'm sure he won't question your identity, because who else would be messaging him about getting your account back?

[NotInchoateHand1]

I'm sure there are many imposters fiending at this possibility. Thanks for giving them the idea. I'll do it tomorrow, right now I have to focus on my whining/drinking.

PS: How will this effect my KotZ rankings?

[Dead]

Dude you're the man.

This sucks now, but Mat will let you back in.

it only took dead a month to get poohbah status, so you could do it in a few weeks.

Your first response was different. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

[NotInchoateHand1]

Dead has mastered a careful calculus of quality and quantity that I could never hope to emulate. My aspirations are lower--the same gradual plodding manure that made me the poster I am today, or was until recently.

[Dead]

This is exactly correct friend. It's not like 90% of my posts are quoting other people's posts. Sure I do that for shits and giggles, but most of them are at least three or four paragraphs. Check out the politics forum for proof, AC. I am glad to see that some people here appreciate the quality.

It also helps to be able to type 150 wpm.

[/ QUOTE ]

I already see as much of the politics forum as I care to.

Proof of what?

Proof that you post too much?
That's already plain to see. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Also, I remember the thread in which I told you to slow down the first time. It was in the politics forum, and most of your posts were about a sentence each at best.
(2nd ironic post)

All I'm saying is that I post here a lot. For you to already have about half as many posts as I do is insane.

It's too much!
(Unless you're TSC... in which case it used to be completely normal)

[PoBoy321]

In case you're curious, I tried to read that thread, and it crashed my computer too.

Good work, BTW.

[Dead]

TSC is cool but most of his posts are one line endeavors.

Oh, irony.

Posting police are lame. If you don't like my profligate posting then you can complain to Mat. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[NotInchoateHand1]

It did? Honestly, that makes me so proud. Its so hard to work like that, and then POOF! Gone. I was afraid my masterwork would go unappreciated. This is some consolation, and thank you for the kind support. I can only hope it crashed a few other people's browsers as well.

[NotInchoateHand1]

I think I know how you guy's post counts get up there...

I wasn't exactly complaining.

Why should I complain to Mat?

I'm just speaking the truth.
A lot of your posts are one liners, too.

But you know, if you want to post here that much, it's your own business. So, forget I ever said anything.

[Dead]

I think that you should try to get to 500 in one day.

And AC I'm not mad at you if you think that. I just don't want people to be mad at me for posting too much.

[PoBoy321]

Are you talking about how they'll basically start a new thread within another thread where they just ramble on about how they got such high post counts?

[NotInchoateHand1]

Be careful about that Mat character---I have reasons to believe he is not the benevolent figure many might think. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's actually rather shady. Trust no one.

That's not exactly what I was doing, but I digress.

[NotInchoateHand1]

Less than I will have by tomorrow?

[Dead]

That's easy to calculate.

You've been a member here for 185 days. I average ~48 posts per day. 185X48=8880. So you would have 8880 posts.

But this is my last post for now because now I am off to get my 3 hours sleep because I have a ton of [censored] to do this morning. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Later

[NotInchoateHand1]

Have a good night. I wish I could sleep, but the cruel injustices of the online poker world a la Mat are keeping me awake. And driving me to drink. I feel so crushed. I mean, I mean. Yeah. Have a good one.

[NotInchoateHand1]

Yes and how many bumps must a man procure, before he can get his account back? The answer my friend, is rapidly disappearing from the OOT forum for those who have their thread-display count set horribly low. I feel like Bob Dylan.

No thank you.

[InchoateHand]

Don't not thank me, don't thank Mat. He rocks. He let me back in. I will never quote again.

You had an 8 month old account an about 1k posts.... who cared really. Your new account was fine, what difference did getting your old one back make?

[InchoateHand]

Very little. I was resigned to losing it, plus for whatever reason I started trying to write a little better with the new one. But yeah, it didn't exactly matter.

[Jack of Arcades]

yeah, I don't care about getting my old account back, I have almost as many posts on this one anyway
