Ranting : Why does every third or fourth post seem to be a begging, pleading, attempt for a handout? - Help.com

Hang around for a few more months, they get worse. One guy I came across was dumb enough to ask for money and post his FULL bank account details to deposit the cash to.

Oh and cool Avatar!!!

thanks and lol this site seems to be helpful but the i need money posts need to be filtered out some how

I make a habit of reporting them whenever i see them.

Oddly enough ,the front page has two beggers at time of writeing this.

There are not enough Mod’s to police the posts, I just read them to laugh XD

Very true. I edit them. useully to ‘I failed to read the user guidelines and now my post has been hijacked’.

Well your Avatar, sure as heck looks like a MOD!!! “Prepare to be Judged!!”

Hell no!!! (but I used to be a judge dredd, fan as a kid) lol

I use to play D&D back in my youth… ah the good old days of being young and having no problems other than should I roll the red dice or the green dice hahaha

Requiem Nox wrote:
what’s wrong with D&D?

Nothing wrong with it. It’s just where I lived in England, the game had a very whites only feel to it…I once attended a game at a local comic shop the looks I got from the players, made me remember the times of the 80’s when I suffered a lot of racial abuse. The game I havn’t got a problem with (I loved fighting fantasy books as a kid)
what I have a problem with is that, the only way I can play comfortably is if I play online.

I haven’t had a game group in years :-(
It was a lot of fun back in the day though

Ahhh, well things have changed, at least here in hamilton for me i have 4 colored players 2 indain players and 3 asians

“Colored players” I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. What “colour” are they, there are many “colours” to choose from??? But Im glad there are no more sterotypes in the game :)

well I am kind of a peachy pink color myself but if it is really cold I turn kind of a whitish bluish purplish color. Now if it is really hot I turn kind of an orangish reddish color. So I am definately a colored player :-) You can call me a rainbow colored player or maybe a modified hazel colored player :-)

No problem, black players is more tolirible to handle. Just think of it like this, how would you like being referd to as “that non-coloured, chap”…OK this is starting to get political, um, I guess you guys are into console RPG’s, which ones do you enjoy playing?

It is always nice to know how the people you talk to feel about things so you don’t accidentally call them a word or color they don’t like. But aside from that… I always prefered Palladium Fantasy myself… just can’t beat sitting around a table with a bunch of your best mates and cracking jokes while you stab each other in the back hahaha

Final Fantsy 7, truley we are brothers XD Excellent choice. I havn’t played any of the StarWars games but as soon as I get a PC that can run games higher than Lemmings, thats one of the first titles I will buy.

I hate the Xbox
PS3 is much better

get it for the x-box the controls are much better

So I heard, but Im off consoles for a while. I spent alot of time last year playing video games and ignoring my social life. I play once in a while, bust just in short bursts, so I have no time for epic RPG’S.

social life??? what’s that???

If Squareenix screw-up Final Fantasy (again), then I will go ape sh*t!!!

More polYgons, more frames per second and realistic textures XD

A.T.B. All the way!

yep you’ve lost me
we aren’t talking about
super techmo bowl on the nintendo are we ??
:-P hehehehe

The last one for the PS2 made me feel like an A.I programmer and not a gamer >(

Final Fantasy battle systems, keep up XD

I am so not good with internet jargon

Laughing face, closed squinted eyes with a wide laghing smile. The face you make when you see a skater crash and burn XD

Okay then
so I’ll fill you in on another fun filled fact about me… I’ve never played any of the final fantasies I watched a friend play one and was bored off my butttt
I prefer sports and star wars style games or first shooter types like counter strike

Final Fantasy is an aquired taste sort of game, you either love it or hate it. The only FPS I’ve played is Time Splinters, and Deus Ex on the PC.

Yeah I always prefered playing with friends not just online games because I like to joke around in a face to face mannor not just over a weblink

Judge dredd? i still read judge dredd ‘progs’, and im early twenties :)

there is no rule against asking for money

and editing someone elses post is just rude

Why does every third or fourth post seem to be someone begging, pleading, asking for money?

i know this site is called “Help”
but what kind of help is it really for?

it is to help me have something to do with my spare time ;-)

Its their idea of help I suppose.

taking advantage of innocent people on the internet with their sad stories of repo and a pennyless bank account with 8 mouths to feed with no McDonalds in sight to apply for a job.

If there were a hiring McDonald’s in sight, the sign might say “Help Wanted”, so it’s easy to see how this place might look like what they were looking for.
