I love how you contradict yourself with these highly "on-topic" posts. IMO you should probably add yourself to your list in the 1st post.

The rest of you, mainly those who can rate, feel free to rate me accordingly if you so wish. I'm not posting this expecting to get free rate-ups and pats on the back. I'm being just as out of topic as they are and I'm also wasting forum space. I apologize in advance for that.

All those posts from Jeff that were quoted look pretty typical to me. Yes, I agree that they were unhelpful/unnecessary, so rate them down and move on.
It's an instant classic.

I didn't realize that achieving a 10k post rating gave you the right to tell other posters what they can and can't post. Everyone on these forums is guilty of posting random off-topic crap. Not to mention, with 12k+ posts, you're probably more guilty of this than most.
Never claimed to be the forum police or that my words were better than yours. Especially not because I have more than 10k posts. If I could, I'd have the admins remove my custom title and 8,000 posts of mine because you have no idea how many people, yourself included, cry about my postcount. "Oh, he has more than 10,000 posts, he must be a spammer!"
I have 12k posts because I post A LOT. I post on three or four forums and back in the old days I used to post in all the WoW forums and the OOT forum as well as the Feedback Forum. And yes, I've posted off-topic crap, just like you have, I'm sure. I do post in the Out of Topic forum, but does that make a difference? So all 12k posts of mine aren't WoW related, does it matter?
I've made a guide, a macro compilation (which is outdated now because of the patch, unfortunately.. I
was going to update it, but I guess that would be seeking attention, right?) and I've helped so many people via PMs. And I LOVED doing it! I enjoy helping people, it's in my blood. I didn't mean to name and shame Inuguy and MetalJeff, not at all. I'm sorry if it was picked up as naming and shaming. I probably worded it wrong, it happens from time to time (you try making a comprehensible post in Danish).
Errare humanum est. And I am only human so I do make mistakes from time to time. This thread was one mother of a mistake, I see that now. I should've done it in some private messages, yes.
And no, I don't rate MetalJeff or Inuwhatshisname down whenever they post. In fact, I believe I rated up MetalJeff up for letting a poster know how to get rid of the health bar above all mobs in the nearby vicinity (V-key).
I'm not better than you, Tshirtninja, or anybody else for that matter, and I never claimed to be. I didn't reach Scholar until 4,000 posts deep into posting and there was a reason for that. I've been in MetalJeff and Inu's shoes, I know what will happen to them if they continue, because it happened to me. I was just trying to tell them that, but I guess I failed horribly at it.
Anyways, I've edited out my OP because of the uproar. I never meant to name and shame and I should've kept it to PMs. I apologize for that. I will also have the thread locked and nuked if possible, to avoid more drama.
And for the record, I don't mind OT posts. I mind when people go out of their way to include swear words in their posts for no apparent reason (not to mention bypassing the swear word filter isn't allowed outside of the Asylum). Or when new posters who have contributed with nothing start verbally abusing other posters, calling them names and such.
Fixed a very, very bad typo, sorry. Edited, Jan 4th 2007 6:03pm by Mazra
