They contribute meaningless replies to your post and only do it for a point that doesn't mean a goddamn thing. Those who are point whores should be identified and there should be limit on how much they post, and if what they point is meaningless a whole bunch of points should be subtracted or they should go down in rank. They should be given 2 warnings after that, and if they do it again they should be banned from their IP address.

Just a suggestion.

If they really don't even attempt to answer a supportive question (like if it just says "idk", "google it", "I'm a virgin" [to a topic obviously asking about something sex-related], etc) then you could try reporting it. It's also nice to have a record of these things on someone's profile (when we hide a post, it doesn't automatically say on the profile that we hide a post, and if we think it's just one instance sometimes people can get away with getting dozens of posts removed without us thinking it's an ongoing issue).

Currently, we do have the ability to delete posts for "non contribution", which I personally try to do in the sex topics (since, let's be honest, those are the main ones I read).

I don't really think I'd be into penalizing people for having fun in the spammy section though, just in the support sections. To be honest, people that give shite answers tend to lose interest in the forum rather quickly anyhow.


a lot of them don't though. i'm not gonna name anybody but a lot of them are still on here

I know what you mean.

So many people reply to topics saying, "Idk" and "Sorry I have no idea"

I usually report these people, but the mods don't take action.
