T haha someone screwed up.

Haven't I seen this posted before?

Actually, there is a semi-serious side to this. Forum server bandwidth isn't infinite, which is one reason why neffing is discouraged. And some things get posted again and again, week after week (it seems like), and some questions are mentioned again and again. Windows messenger serving you spam? Try the search button. etc.

Still, there doesn't need to be the current "I saw that posted on 12th July 1999! REPOST REPOST REPOST! attitude, but some people just enjoy trumping others.

nef = someone who posts just to see his/her post count get higher. Someone who doesn't really contribute.

If you go into a deep conversation thread and just type as a reply, that is neffing.

<---- Neffing

Whenever I see that word, I always think of "Neff", the bad guy from that old Sega game Altered Beast.

You've been Skoorbed buddy, the odds of a Lifer from 2001 not knowing what "nef" means are approximately 1.0*10^(-247)

People shouting repost are about as bad as people who post "in before the lock", it's just to get attention as you stated. If a topic is posted a second time and gets interest, then it has value to the forums and is good. If nobody wants to discuss it, then it will disappear into the abyss on it's own. There is no need for any intervention by the community in either case.

What he said. As long as it hasn't been posted 50-odd times in one day, I don't have so much of a problem with reposts. There's always room for a new opinion, right?

i don't need a repost to up my post count legally.

 

[gwlam12]

because then there are two or more threads going on about the same thing instead of one big discussion.

In these cases, it's fine, but it's twats who scream repost and say something like "this was posted 6 months ago, use the search feature" that piss me off. If something was posted months ago, I don't think it's a cardinal fvcking sin to bring it back up for discussion. Not everyone here sees every thread the first time it has ever been posted.

I don't buy that. Most of them just have the urge to be the first to proclaim it.

You're one of them aren't you? For the love of god man, surely you can find better ways to spend your time?

 

[Ciber]

I still think saying repost should be a bannable offense.

A mod should just wait for someone to post a repost and ban the 30 idiots that scream repost.
