There’s a reason why i recently added this little notice right above the comment input box.
If you’re going to include a link in your comment: Use HTML. You can create a hyperlink by using these tags <A HREF=”INSERTURLHERE“>YOURTEXT</A>
Because if you don’t, this apparently happens:
Granted, it only happens with certain browser and OS combinations but nevertheless, it’s still something you wanna avoid doing, posting raw URLs, unless you wanna provoke the ire of readers who can actually run into this problem. And that’s not good for business or customer satisfaction.
And speaking of customer satifsfaction, while you’re at it, have a look at the notice that’s above the one you just read about (which has been there for months).
Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry: Off-topic, inappropriate or purely promotional comments may be edited or removed.
I bring this up because i notice there have been some complaints against certain commenters.
Comments should be related to the blog entry they are posted to, or to a subsequent comment on that entry. Of course, some amount of topic-shifting is normal in any discussion. However, completely-off-topic comments are not appropriate.
Here’s a good example of a good comment.
I think the best way to go about it and please everyone involved, is to think before you post. Does it add to the conversation? Is it thought provoking? If not, it is at least funny (FOR EVERYONE)? Will it be worth reading?
If everybody does this, there will probably be less of this (bad?) and maybe more of this? (good?)
Let’s make fubar a happy place!
In conclusion, if you do not like the rules set forth herein, you can kiss my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!
i totally agree with you on this thing man reading those unrelevant comments is downright not gud &pointless.(man people on the netare weird )

#3 | Comment by Ryan — August 16, 2005 @ 7:22 pm
#2 takes the short bus. AND completely shows that Justin has a point here.

I think it’s irrelevant. (The word, not the post.)
#6 | Comment by CaPPyD — August 16, 2005 @ 9:15 pm

Lets make Justin happy so he doesn’t quit the site again 😀
Without FUBAR we would all die. Trust me.
#9 | Comment by dex — August 16, 2005 @ 11:48 pm
wow, looking back at that ‘happy’ catwoman post, that may have been the ugliest this site has ever gotten. racialistically speaking.
yep.
#10 | Comment by Justin — August 16, 2005 @ 11:53 pm
So what your saying is we should Kiss your A$$ when were “happy” with you so you won’t quit site as Dex sez and then we should ki$$ your @ss when we were not happy with the site. So in conclusion I would propose that Justin really just wants wet lips on his @r5#

that just made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.
but all kissing should be directed to the ass nonetheless.
#12 | Comment by Justin — August 17, 2005 @ 12:13 am
I think I would die without FUBAR. I was very depressed last time that Justin quit, and that is why I don’t post often because I know all of my posts are pointless. Oh yeah, I just clicked your ads. That’s relevant to something, right?
#13 | Comment by Elder Young — August 17, 2005 @ 12:30 am
OMFG it’s been months but Justin actually responded to one of MY!!!!! comments OMG I feel faint.
*swoon*
#14 | Comment by Skeezer — August 17, 2005 @ 1:45 am
Wait… so Justin isn’t my friend?
#15 | Comment by Dere33 — August 17, 2005 @ 4:49 am
I don’t feel like commenting on this blog entry.
#16 | Comment by kiko — August 17, 2005 @ 5:55 am
LOL, Skeezer. I submitted the pic, so I’m oddly proud as well.
#17 | Comment by K — August 17, 2005 @ 6:29 am

#18 | Comment by JustSumDude — August 17, 2005 @ 8:49 am
Who is Justin?
#19 | Comment by ninbw — August 17, 2005 @ 10:53 am
im going to ban all of you
#20 | Comment by Justin — August 17, 2005 @ 11:53 am
i feel bad justin, but whenever i see the horrendously long URL covering up half of my fuckin desired reading material, i quickly find the culprit and write 2 or 3 comments saying “i hate you” or “i really hate you” just to get the URL out of the way.
then i enjoy reading once again.
#21 | Comment by steve — August 17, 2005 @ 3:11 pm
if anybody does post a long URL and i’m not around to edit/delete it in time, just tear them a new asshole once or twice until it scrolls off the page. they’ll get the idea sooner or later.
anyhow, im not sure how to fix that problem. i’ve already tried adding an overflow:hidden; attribute to the div but apparently still no luck.
it only seems to happen with IE users on PCs though.
#22 | Comment by Justin — August 17, 2005 @ 5:12 pm
You know Justin you just answered your own dilemma “they are IE users and their on PCs” they get what they deserve if you ask me. It’s all about Firefox………
#23 | Comment by Skeezer — August 17, 2005 @ 9:14 pm

#26 | Comment by AngelBaby — August 17, 2005 @ 9:29 pm

#27 | Comment by EndlessMike — August 17, 2005 @ 10:47 pm
