Ban rick rollers

Seifer

It's retarded and those people that haven't realised that it stopped being funny some time ago should not be allowed to waste others time.
A forum is about people discussing things and finding out new information. These useless links to garbage add nothing to a discussion and should be treated the same as spamming or trolling.

I thought that had stopped a while ago...

Links? Did you report the posts?

Jumpy

He is referring to my link here.

Which to be fair is a Diablo 3 related work of genius.

Some people don't know when to let things die.
The same plank posted the same video in two different forums:

I totally agree. I even tried to push things back to topic, but I was sadly unsuccessful.

I don't think jumpy was rick rolling anyone. That appears to be a PR stunt by Blizzard that jumpy was showing people, that was on the Blizzard site.

I thought it was a good one as well.

And you're the one that gets to decide when things go on or off topic because??

I can see when its needed to stop someone losing the rag?

My point was that you were the one that took things off topic in the first place. And if you're so worried about "someone losing the rag" then why post something in such a way that you know it's going to annoy people? As I said in the thread, it would've been fine if you had labelled the link as "Diablo 3 rick roll" then anyone interested in this hilarious phenomenon could've watched it if they wished.

No 'so-called' about it, as far as I can see?

I'm pretty sure 0:38 at a second or two after it has gone on to be a successful fetish website.

The only people that hate rickrolling are the ones that keep getting caught off gaurd.

I lol in you general directions.

Hobbes

You know you can get a firefox plugin now that tracks all potential rickrolls and warns you with an icon beside the link. pointless but cool.

monkeyfudge

That actually would be a pretty neat plug in.

I've gotten caught a few times but I haven't been bothered by them. Some of them have been funny depending on how and when they were used.

Except for the one that was a rick-rolling browser-hijack, which really pissed me off no end.

Ah yes. ***.portsnap.com <- This is a rickroll :rolleyes:

That one should have a nice site ban attached to it. Ok, maybe a month forum ban instead.

Strange when I looked at that page absolutly nothing happened. Might be something to do with having NoScript installed.

Jumpy

Its a browser hijack that makes you click the words individually.
Unless its christmas. Then you have to click the words to Santa Claus is coming to Town.

I didn't click it, I assumed it was a browser-hijack. NoScript would protect you from it alright.

Ah Rick-Rolling is still funny if used right, just like YORE MA.

Jumpy

I had better actually edit that, just to make sure someone who hasnt read the post actually clicks it.

No, Yore Ma was never funny. It's the visual diarrea of AH.

DeVore

The moment Rick rolling is covered by mainstream media, it becomes painfully unfunny.

Its like your parents getting "hip with the kids"

Sometimes I think Boards should come with a prescription for prozac, for those with ridiculously short fuses ...

Or maybe viagra would do the trick ... :pac:

Jumpy

Hey its not the length of the fuse. Its what you do with it.

Crumble Froo is a brilliant rick roller just couldnt help pushing that button.

I think they are brilliant in the right context and if you ban something as insignificant as that then a lot of things will consquently be banned.

I disagree with banning it. sure its always a kick in the gee to be rickrolled but its not all the harmful. anyway more and more people have stopped linking to the viral one, that locks up your browser (sure ban that) but I dont see the damage in linking to a youtube video for instance.

S.I.R

i think if your stupid enough to get rick rolled you should be banned :rolleyes:

It's not like it takes a genius to pull off this elaborate gag. The person posting it hasn't gotten one over on anyone that clicks the link. It's akin to someone asking for directions then some hilarious sap making them up or completely sending them the wrong way. All they are doing is lying.

Yet if I were to start going into topics and posting links to random youtube videos I would get told to stay on topic at the very least.
