Seriously guys, now you guys are just giving him minuses on every post. What was so bad about his last post that he now has a -6?

Now you are doing the exact same thing that you're supposed to discourage: spam. Please only critique posts you actually think are useless and spam. Otherwise no noob is gonna know when they actually do some messed up post.

And in all honesty, there's a LOT of elitism on the boards, and I'll admit I'm not always on the correct side of it. Rawrlolsauce definitely has a LOT of spam; but he's been on the boards for a while and everyone thinks he's funny (he's one of my favorite members). Try to be kind to the newer board members who are trying to be funny, but just haven't had enough time to get used to everything.

Sauce typically trolls, which I see as entirley different than spam.
Can you please explain the difference to me?

Sauce has reached the point where he understands the community's likes and dislikes in such a way that he can respond in a ridiculous way to virtually every situation by playing on some sort of old forum joke. His posts, if you do not take them as trolls, would be read very divisively and cause much dissention if they came from someone else.

People who attempt to emulate him simply want his results. They see + 1's and various compliments and want that mental and emotional reward, but they have not spent the time to properly recieve it.

Isn't it an oxymoron to say he works really hard on his trolling?

I don't see that as a reason to support all of his spam posts. You can call it anything you want, but since I would define spam as anything that adds nothing to the discussion that the thread was started on (or obviously became centered on later on) and has absolutely no bearing to the topic. There are definitely a LOT of posts by rawrlolsauce that fit that description. I'm not saying I dislike all his spam posts, in fact I very much enjoy them. But let's take it easy on the newer members.

To each his own. I personally treat new members the same way I was treated in other forums that directly led to my reformation and subsequent maturing. I now post in complete sentences and only spell things wrong when I mistype. Before, I used txt talk all the time and provided a generally childish feel to my posts. I was corrected about that on other forums, and I bring that mind set to bear here because it worked on me.

It seems awful elitist that the thread starter, or should I say Thread Führer, gets to choose what the thread is about. Maybe those posts aren't off topic spam but a counter attack by the alliance?
