Just a reminder for everyone ...

[buttercup132]

I totally agree. What really bothers me is when they create 90 new threads all about the same subject. Sheesh....one thread with do with updates added. Maybe this should be in the Pet Peeve thread?

Or make pointless threads about stuff(not this one but I alsways see them in dog general)
Thank you for someone finallly saying something, I thought it was jsut me that it bothered. And is it just me or does it seem to be random new people who post stupid things then leave PT forever and dont bother to introduce themselves.

I agree I know someone that posts on that dog general that people are talking about also but not gonna say anything about it but some people just want to post a lot just because they want to get the most posts you can post a lot just as if they are at least a sentence or two. Not like 5 smilies, or yuuuup coool. Thanks for bringing this up.

[animal_rescue]

I definitely agree with this. It can get annoying to see people post will little or few words and like a thousand smilies as well.

[Roxyluvsme13]

^ Agreed to everything above said. I do post alot, (I have no life... Well, just alot of spare time.) but if I can't think of anything to say I normally don't post.

[Flatcoatluver]

I think one of the biggest peeves on this topic is people just posting " I agree" but that's all they type. I don't care if you agree, I want to know what you think, you can quote them and say I agree BUT TYPE MORE THEN THAT. It's a pet peeve scrolling threw all the I agrees.

Its summer, and the bored kids fresh out of school are heeerrreeee. Its only going to get worse from here on out.

The "I agree" thing drives me nuts! I've seen threads where one person said something and 10 others came and quoted it saying "I agree" - which in itself is just fine, if you say "Sue couldn't have said it better...." and then expounded on why you think she said it so well.

But often it seems like there are little drones that quote and simply say "I agree" to the quote. Don't they have a thought all their own? After 10 "I agree"s you'd think the point was made that the original poster had a good thought; there would be no need to quote the same quote an 11th time.... but people do and it would seem the only reason to quote the same thought again is to raise your own post count.

Are people trying to kiss up to the person they quoted? Because I notice they often quote the same person time and time again. Trust me, quoting someone's post isn't going to give you brownie points - quite conversely its going to annoy people. If you want the respect of certain individuals here, especially if they are strong pillars of this community, that respect will come from posting honest and true replies that actually contain some content and thought.

Now, anyone who wishes to quote my insightful reply may do so

I agree.

I agree for the most part that that would be annoying. Although, I suppose I'm missing or just not noticing one particular person who posts "pointlessly." It's kindof a "lose/lose" situation for some people. On one hand you have obviously many people who are annoyed by people who just post "I agree" or one word posts...but, then on the other hand, you also have MANY people who are hurt or bothered by getting 350 views on their threads, and, only 8 replies. And, the people who are only viewing the threads, say that one of the reasons they don't reply is because they don't really have anything to add, or all they can think of to say is "I agree" or one or two word replies. I'm not at all saying that it's why the particular person that has everyone annoyed is posting "pointlessly." I haven't noticed it, really, I just scroll through a thread and read the posts and post on the thread when I want. But, it's obviously a problem for a lot of people. Again, though, just trying to point out that maybe some people who type "I agree" (not necessarily the person you're all saying posts 90 times a day) are trying to simply avoid viewing a thread and not posting anything. Because we all know that it hurts and bothers a lot of people when that happens, too. Ok, that's my two cents. I'm not disagreeing with you guys, because again, I haven't noticed the problem you're referring to. I'm just trying to give a different perspective.

Posting up to 90 times a day is usually not necessary

This is really one of the reasons I haven't been posting as much. I just get really tired of it.

I agree

But seriously...OMG, I couldn't have said it better myself. So many people do this and it gets really annoying after 10 people say it.

Hmmm....Interesting thread. Is this a joke thread or are y'all serious?

Makes one feel a little "frightened" to be replying to one.

I think they are serious but don't feel frightened to reply

[Daisy and Delilah]

Thanks for starting this thread Lindsey. It needed to be said and you put it very well. I think the people in question know who they are and hopefully, they'll take heed when they see it. This board doesn't need to be cluttered with a ton of useless garbage.

I have another request and I'm sorry if anyone is offended. I'm not trying to hijack either. I humbly request that we are more careful in checking our spelling in our posts. I make mistakes just like other people and for that reason, I have a dictionary at the computer. Sometimes I have trouble reading some posts because I can't decipher what someone is trying to say.

For the most part, we all do pretty well but I think a few of us could do a little better in making sure our words are understandable. Thanks

But there's a difference. You're not posting pointlessly.

[Roxyluvsme13]

But there's a difference. You're not posting pointlessly.

Exactly. That's what I was trying to say above.

[CagneyDog]

But there's a difference. You're not posting pointlessly.

Exactly. I'm mainly talking about the posts that have absolutely no point (and sometimes no relavence either).

That's another one of my peeves too Flatcoatluvr. It's just a small thing, but it really makes a difference when I'm reading a thread that just has two word (I agree) replies!

[caseysmom]

I think this needed to be said and I thank you for saying it...I wholeheartedly agree.

[Sevaede]

Sometimes I am guilty of typing only "I agree." but I usually type a couple of sentences after that. When I *do* only type "I agree." that's because that person that I'm agreeing with said all that I had to say. Heh, sorry. (I promise, I don't do it that often.)
