Keywords in my Forbidden Thread Subject List

I think it has, at least in any non-ironic way. Don't mess with irony, it always wins in the end.

Oh, and on a slightly related note, I think the term "bling" needs to go away now.

I'd like to add any thread or post with the sole purpose of complaining about Dragon and/or Dungeon, how it is useless to one person's game, etc. Constructive criticism is one thing and just saying "X sucks" does nothing for me.

Oh gawd bless ya!!! I couldn't agree more! While we're at it, can we also get rid of "extreme", "empowered", and "diversity"? When words are overused and become buzzwords, especially to the point where they become cliches, they need to disappear for a while.

Once I saw a headline that was something like "empowering voters' rights" and the first thing that popped into my head was "ah, they use a ballot slot two levels higher..."

I always skip over posts that have the word RPGnet in the title. If I cared about that crap, I would go to their boards and read about it. I don't, so I don't.

On the Rules forum, I skip all posts that have the words cleave, mirror image, flanking, and evasion.

OMG, yes, esp. if "ranged weapon" appears anywhere near "flanking". Those threads become interminable....

 

[Tatsukun]

Oh come on, everyone is forgetting the many "Help me price this item" threads that ramble on for weeks with no answer other than "Do what you want, you are the DM!"

I'm noticing a theme in some of the keywords: negativity.

I have a question. Fine, you have a question. Why not put the question in the subject line where it will actually be useful.

Help me please! Maybe, but again, why not put some info in the subject, like "help me with pricing this item."

Right, I'm not fond of thread titles that don't indicate (not even in general) what the thread's about, either.

Do you know what I find sad?

That these are the very threads that poor old Moderators *have* to look at, since we know they are generally ticking time bombs
