Author Topic: "I don't care" isn't always a dismissive post - A common dilemma.  (Read 839 times)

Right now, many people are getting confused with this rule. I'd like to explain it for you, so you don't go around reporting people for the wrong reasons. This rule is in effect for every board. You will be banned for dismissive posts in any thread outside of drama.

First off, the rule goes like this:

Quote
Anyone who posts "who cares" or "no one cares" or similar dismissive statements will be banned.

Instead of people who actually say "who cares" getting banned, it's the people who dismiss the topic's entire point.

dis·miss/disˈmis/  Verb
1. Order or allow to leave; send away.
2. Discharge from employment or office.

So don't report people because they say "i don't care", report them for topic dismissal.

Reportable:
1. "This guy just stole my car!"
2. "Who gives a stuff?"

1. "X is being an idiot!"
2. "He's not an idiot, this is a pointless and stupid thread."

1. "Let's play this game."
2. "That game is stuffty, lock this thread."

Not Reportable:
1. "Can I use your avatar?"
2. "I really don't care if you use it."

1. "Oops, I misspelled your name."
2. "I don't care, it's just a name."

1. "You're an idiot!"
2. "Nobody gives a stuff about what you think of me."


The more you know!

Thanks for clearing this up. :)

Very nice, the last one is a little sketchy, however.

Meh, not so much.

Alright thanks for clearing that up.

who cares  :cookieMonster:
but really, people should read the rules a bit more

I don't get what this topic could have possibly cleared up for anyone...

is this why you brought this up?
No.
He said "idc" because it's his BL_ID. "idc, bld BL_ID, whatever, no difference"
his I don't care was meant as a "big deal, there's no difference"

I found an image recently that relates to the topic.


(Not being dismissive here :D)

I thought this was common knowledge.

It was normally in effect for every board but lately it's been mainly only in Drama.

I thought this was common knowledge.

Yes?

You expect people like rainbow and stocking to use common knowledge

I agree with this, very informative thread nonetheless.
