Tekkies Law

[Tekkie]

After reading so many posts with people calling others "whiner" or "fanboi" I am going to instigate a personal law against this, You are all welcome to join me in this obviously unofficial law if you so wish.

When I read a post that even mentions the words "whiner" or "fanboi" im going to neg rep the person just for using such little thought in thier insults.

However if they show imagination and substitute the previously mentioned words with a new, fresh and reasonable insult that indicates the same meaning I will +rep them To show you have made the effort to substitute the outlawed words you must indicate this by (w) or (f), only then will you get a +rep should I or anybody else who wants to follow this law read your post.

Example...

Why don't you just stop whining, STFU and go play.....

Thats a -rep as soon as I read it.

why don't you just stop (w)bleeding your heart out to me, you make me want to get in the bath and play submarines with a pluged in 4 bar electric heater, STFU and go play.....

Thats a +rep as soon as I read it.

Should I then get bored of some substituted words/phrases I will add them in this thread and rep accordingly from then onwards.

What good can come from this? People will have to try harder and harder to brand a person with an insult as over time and over use they will become a victim of "Tekkies Law" and rep will dwindle for repeat offenders who far too often just post pointless rubbish and use thoughtless common insults.

ps, this post is not subject to Tekkies Law for mentioning "whiner" or "fanboi"....

If someone is whining, surely it's perfectly acceptable to call them out on it.

I don't do it often but sometimes it's the only appropriate response.

Don't think I've ever called anyone a "fanboi" though .

You mean like: "Whoah! Another wannabe trying to brand his avatar's name by connecting it with big word and/or idea indstead of just saying fcuk you fag?".

Maybe I didn't get the idea my english isn't so good, sorry!

yes, if someone is whining they deserve to be called a whiner
If there's someone who should be -rep'ed its the whiner

I don't think I've directly called anyone a "whiner" or "fanboi", but I have used those terms to describe people in general. If my posts ever sound like I'm implying that someone is either, I usually try to be a little more creative in my word play.

Everyone has something to whine about or be a fan of MA/FPC/EU about, but that doesn't necessarily make them a full time whiner or fanboi... some just happen to post more on one side or the other...

Your English is fine, but I don't see what "fcuk" the fashion brand has to do with anything

You might have to be clearer to get your point across.

I am in no way connected to fcuk clothes and do not promote thier fine products in any way. Worthy to point out, fcuk should not be quoted towards cigarettes or homosexuals (depending on what part of the planet you come from)

Girlie boppers

Damn good point though, has any female fan ever been called a - well you know what.

I guess its "fangrl", not willing to add that to the -rep class untill I see it overused though.
