All of these threads are in General Chat, none of them are funny, but all of them remain open.
Why then was this particular thread:
http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60359 (Which tastes better?)
closed for being unfunny?
I'M SO CONFUSED!
Closed because it's not funny in the sense that if anyone ever actually did something like that someone would be seriously sick or even die. I don't consider that funny in any sense of the word...sick maybe, and in my opinion, it doesn't belong here.
An announcement in the GC forum:
RSL, 18th March 2005:
Dear General Chat,
You are getting out of control. Please remember that while every post doesn't have to be serious and 100% on topic, some logic should still be followed. You are currently a mess.
Basically they're being jerks from now on. :whimper:
Maybe because that is inappropriate itself. Help naming a kid is appropriate but I don't think tasting spray is. No offense...
I blame Jojo and Psy. :p
I agree with this.Quote:

Face is, Caspian, there are stupid people here. Stupid enough to actually taste test those two products. That would suck. xD
I would have closed that thread had I seen it first. Use some common sense please.
Sorry.Quote:

Your thread had no purpose. Pretty simple distinction, really.
I call riot.
I just realized that that entire paragraph applies to drinking alcohol too! Those threads are neat.Quote:

Alcohol is for drinking. Windex is not. Read the bottle.
windex is teh gross
Now with new Cool Mint and Extreme Citrus flavors!
Um, yeah, what Shlup said. And I don't think Drano gel would go down so great either.Quote:

I disapprove of your thread, because I've seen terrible things happen as a result of drinks being spiked.
As RSL said, it's a matter of common sense.
I have seen the error of my ways, Tiny Tim!
I'll never speak of Drano or Windex again!
Oh yeah, if I could close this thread right now, I would. It doesn't really have a purpose, and it isn't even funny.
And neither are you.
I'm trying that tonight.
If everything that was unfunny had to be closed, then General Chat would be a lot, lot smaller.
Too bad we can't close Flamethrower. *kick*
This is true.
I blame Neel. xD I haven't even really been in GC the past half week at least.Quote:
