I just spent two DAYS going back through over 3 THOUSAND posts and I have to say it is a good thing I am not in charge of the list!!! I would have lost it a long time ago. I'm not brave enough to post this to the forum, so you get hit with the overflow anger. I apologize in advance. Having said that:
mad People who say "please click" and "I clicked" when we all know that's the rule. (Effective immediately I'm stopping!)
mad People who copy and paste over and over (and over!) without deleting comments. Figure it out or stop posting for g_d's sake!
mad If this is for dragons, why are there (whatever they are) "Valenths" taking up space? I understand the idea that there is cross-interests, but it is getting out of hand. Use a link to your other sites that doesn't take up half the page. "Psst! Wanna see something neat? Click here . . " People just want to promote their eggs to hatchlings and their hatchlings to adults. Dragon eggs. Dragon hatchlings.
mad Ditto for posting a scroll that shows all the dragons (sometimes TWO scrolls scream ) instead of just eggs and hatchlings. EITHER the scroll or the links, NOT BOTH stressed - and figure out how to configure your scroll so the adults aren't on it if you are using it to request views / clicks!
burning_eyes And the most annoying thing, people with H U G E signatures. Sometimes there is room for only two or three posts on a page. Yes, links are ok. Use the codes for goodness sake! I would eliminate signatures altogether. You're proud of it. You worked hard on it or paid good money for it. I understand. I do. But this is not the place for it. Really. Or limit yourself to posting it ONCE per WEEK (not per page!!).
mad I would force the listing of eggs and hatchlings to side-by-side posting instead of one after another down the page.
mad A personal pet-peeve: use the "Preview" feature to check and see that you have coded correctly. Check your spelling, too, unless you are deliberately using "net-speak".
I did see one post:

And people, I know the adult dragons look awesome your so proud they grew up, but posthing them takes up space and its just not needed, they dont need clicks and views anymore so its ok not to post them.
sorry for all caps
No wonder people post over and over! It is impossible for everyone to go through dozens of pages looking for posts that aren't repeats!
Agghhh!
<pant> There, I feel marginally better. *waves hand, waiting for blizzard of irate comments on newbies messing with things that have "always been okay" . . . *
