As a service to the community.........

poddster — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:26:57 GMT

.....I have constructed a warning sign that anyone can use to alert other community members, if they detect a Dead Skunk Thread

A Dead Skunk Thread is like a kid bringing a dead skunk to school and inviting the other kids to kick it around the schoolyard but not actually participating the the kicking around. The kid is only motivated by the twisted pleasure of watching other kids kicking it around.

Sadly there is no shortage of willing participants.

No offshoot Joz.

It is that i have noticed of late that threads are started with an unsavory nature by and then just left for others to pick apart, meanwhile there is no participation from the poster who started the thread.

I was moved to create a warning that everyone can use if they detect a thread of that nature.

Odd at the very least.

As if posters here can't make up their own minds about threads. Posting the same image over the board/multiple times in threads would be considered trolling.

it reminds me of the movement for posters to poste CODE in big letters when a 'troll' or 'bully' was detected.

Podster, you don't have to upload your warning sign every time you dectect a skunk. It will already be in your gallery.

Very few political graphics (cartoons), none repeated over and over. That is different from posters choice to post the non relevant, non political same images in their posts over and over.

Actually, I think skunks are endearing the way they blunder head first into stuff they can't get out of with a bit of help from their friends:
