Le Captein wouldn't tell me what he left on that UFO, i know what i left, my rifle, but i'm still in deep thought about why the UFO exploded...

I'm pretty sure you've seen the hot topics that make more than 1K replies, and obviously, they are good topics and have great thought put into them, but then as soon as somebody makes a topic even a tiny bit similar to a RHT (Really Hot Topic) they get shot down, even if they only done something a bit similar to the RHT.

This has never happened to me, or anybody i know, but i was floating around the flood, (although i never post there.) and see somebody make a thread similar to, lets say, a "Mythical" Thread, and he instantly gets beaten down by people saying, "Stop trying to be like such and such...".

That really annoys me, surely people should simply post OT and actually contribute to the post, rather than murder a poor user with replies like that, and I think maybe this should count as de-railing a thread, make it a warnable (is that a word) offence.

In fact, i don't even know what else to say about this, i can't give any more points or anything, all i can do is have my opinion, and hope you feel the same.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I think it may fall under the "Play nice and don't be a jerk" rule.

I don't know about banning or warning people for it, that would probably depend on the moderators evaluating the post at the time.
