Please stop with the PEACH nonsense

You're a doody-head.

It's a WotC Forums-ism for "This is complete or mostly complete mechanical work that I want an honest mechanical critique of, not inanity or doody-headedness."

It serves two functions. One is giving people who can give honest critiques a quick tag to separate the wheat from the chaff, and the other is making it quite clear that "this animu bs should never touch my beloved dandd" is not welcome.

It's kind of questionably useful on ENWorld since we're not WotC's forums.

"Please Examine and Critique Honestly"? If you feel the need to add this to a post in an internet forum, I think I'll refer you to the Department of the Redundancy Bureau. I figure that if I'm posting on a forum, especially if I'm presenting some kind of game mechanics, I'll get some honest input from people. I may not like the input ("This sucks!" or "You're a neiner head") but I know to expect it. Besides, do you really even know the people who reply to your post? Maybe in a few rare instances, but most likely no.

It's something which has somehow made its way over here from WotC's messageboards, and I agree: I find it really irritating. I try to remove it whenever I see it.

I'm somewhat curious about the hostility to this acronym. There may be a bit of redundancy to it, but isn't that true of vast majority of informal discourse?

I have about as much reaction to "PEACH: My new character concept" as "My new character concept, what do you all think," which is to say, completely neutral.

I had seen the occasional use of it pop up and thought "wuh?". At least (thanks to this thread) I know what it is intended to be for. I'll join Morrus in pruning activity with glee though.

Cheers

I never noticed this PEACH stuff before this thread, but as far as I can tell much or most of the distaste being expressed here seems to be about using it as a tag. I suspect if threads were regularly being tagged as "what do you all think," there might be complaints as well.

I have yet to see the acronym on ENWorld (apart from this thread), but I see it all the time on WotC forums and I too find it irritating.

Actually, I've seen it here in ENWorld in the Rules and House Rules thread a few times -- but until I read this thread, I wonderered what it meant!
