    That's cool and everything, but why make ANOTHER thread on Startard?

    Negging other people due to their threads is a reward to a troll like this...just so you know.

    Who the fuck appointed you judge, jury, and executioner?

    I hate their spam more than any of you, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let any of you tell me what to do.

    Is there some reason that Scorponok doesn't realize that he's every bit as worthless a poster as baba and Starguard, except for having even less amusement value? He's never in his life made a post outside of "Press Start" that had even a little bit of content indicative of a double or triple digit I.Q, and even there his best posts are incredibly banal. The number one problem with wordforge is the number of posters who distinguish between Scorpy and baba and Starguard.

    Plus, baba and Stargaurd love this thread. Anyone who thinks they're a significant problem, as opposed to minor annoyances who can sometimes be amusing, is retarded for posting in this thread.

    Scorpy: you're a moron. You're more stupid than the proverbial post. You're more stupid than a real post. Deal with it. And the rest of you should start treating Scorpy with all the respect he deserves.

    Didn't expect to see so much butthurt over this thread. :lol:

    Not surprising it's coming from several of WF's most pathetic posters. :bergman:

    Dramatics much? It's a few people getting sick of seeing their shit, and are trying to discourage people from bumping it. What's this crap about judge, jury and executioner? :rolleyes: But if you're so concerned about rep, I suppose I can make an exception for you.

    And as I said, if the thread is any good, I won't neg rep.

    Hey Liet, is that off the record, or is that the professional opinion of a "lawyer" that doesn't even fucking practice law? :lol: You're a complete and utter failure of a "man" and really should donate your balls to a university so students can view them under an electron microscope and learn how not to be a chickenshit.

    I'm actually quite surprised those same undonated, tiny, and unused nuts of yours dropped far enough for you to have the courage to click 'read post by user'.

    BTW, can someone please quote me so this balding douchebag can't use his usual cowardly tactics? :bergman:

    When someone is punished for breaking a rule they deserve due process.

    As a neg rep is a form of punishment they must have notice, as required by the Due Process Clause, that the action they did that resulted in the neg rep was not permitted.

    This thread, although admittedly drawing attention to Starguard and Baba, serves as due and proper notice to all would-be offenders.

    Count me in on this project.

    I will neg anyone who posts in a Baba thread starting on the current front page as soon as I recharge later today. I'll leave the Startard threads to others.

    Let me say up front that I may neg some folks I think the world of when they come stumbling into one of his worthless threads. It's not personal. It isn't like I hate you all of a sudden.

    But the era of Baba at Wordforge is at an end.

    Anyone who throws bombs and refuses a response through the use of the ignore option is the ultimate example of worthlessness.

    Not that such an example is necessary to prove how grotesque the so-called human being named Liet is. Studies at Noodle University have shown that Liet is more malignant than liver cancer. :bergman:

    I think this rule should apply to threads started after this thread was posted.

    If you all are going to do this then there needs to be some kind of grace period. This thread was started 9 hours ago. I'd say at least 24 hours, making sure people can see it, if you're really going to go through with it.

    Personally I think its a good idea.

    Anything to keep a Baba thread from being bumped.

    The only people who won't are people who take rep seriously enough that it's probably a good thing that they don't do what they please.

    Beyond that, this is an idea that has been tried over and over and accomplishes nothing. If a handful of posters find some amusement value in baba and Starguard think that rep war is more retarded than even baba and Starguard--and you can be sure that's the case--all this ends up accomplishing is to further polarize the board. Frankly, this thread makes me want to respond to baba and Starguard, because it will piss off all the right people. I probably won't respond to them any more than I otherwise would, but I'll enjoy it more when I do.

    Baba and Starguard are harmless, annoying, and sometimes amusing. Most of the posters calling for rep jihad on people who respond to those two are of far more concern.

    Please.

    Rep jihad is as worthless as Baba and Starguard...actually more so.

    It's a troll's paradise to watch people get all worked up over how many little squares they have and what color they are. :jayzus:

    Which is really what it's all about...not the squares...not the "war"...it's not about the topics in the lamest threads imaginable...but engendering reactions and watching people flip out over childish things.

    Rep war ain't stopping nobody but cowards and idiots. But if you want to waste your time and rep on a fruitless pursuit of a useless prize...well, that's the Wordforge way..the freedom to do so.

    All baba and Starguard threads are significantly better than your typical Scorponok thread, so this really should be funny.
