I can think of a type of poster but I can't think of a name for them! Maybe you lovely lot can come up with one for them


It's People That Insist On Starting Ever Letter In Their Sentence With A Capital Letter.


That was so difficult to type I kept forgetting to put the capitals at the start!

Technically speaking, the FORUM is a Capitalist... because it converts posts written in allcaps into that form.

So it's converting Headliners and The Great Unlocked into Capitalists instead.

Headliner: One who feels everything must be shouted to be heard - EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! MY CORNSNAKE WON'T EAT LOL!

The Great Unlocked: Obviously their keyboard must be missing one vital key. Surely they didn't mean to type the WHOLE post that way.... Usually starts like: mY CORNSNAKE WON'T EAT WHAT DO i DO?

Default what about

boosterposter...for those who start a thread with "what do you think of my hair/dress/tattoo/lipstick/fancy dress costume"....ad infinitum.
Then they sit back and wait for the "oooos and aaaahs" and the "wow you look so fit/sexy/gorgeous" etc answers that give them an ego boost.

Premature Bumpulator - The person who replies to a thread with 'stunning ******, free bump for you' when the thread is still at the top and doesn't need bumping. This one being an absolute classic Can anyone give my boys a good home?
Look at the time of the first post and then the second post - the free bump.

Can't Read Won't Read - The one who replies to a thread repeating exactly what was said hours / days / weeks earlier but couldn't be arsed reading the thread.

How about Agent Provocateur - One who winds up other people on behalf of another person because they think they are their friend, and ends up getting them both banned or flamed to bits?

Loving this thread... many times have followed controversial threads on here and have actually thought many of the things termed above regarding some of the posters... can even see myself in a few of them!
