It seems pretty obvious that if you care about anything you should stay far, far away from the Something Awful forums. I'm a giant prick.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I'm fine with spoilers if somebody paid money for them. Ads, avatar changes? Awesome. Forum titles? Nah.

One of the great things about SA is that you have a dozen sub-forums and you have no clue what happens in most of them. You might catch a glimpse of them through avatars, gangtags, emoticons and signatures but there's absolutely no reason to even set a foot in them unless you want to. A forum title change to spite people who don't even read that (sub-)forum kinda shits over that. So yeah, I understand that complaint even if it involves a television show which has a long history of goons messing with goons.

So this is what it boils down to? The right to be funny by pissing in people's cheerios? The poo poo is lame and depresses Lowtax. Feel bad.

it's not the pissing itself it's the, "someone put urine in my cheerios, please do a thing about it. now I cannot eat these cheerios. I'm not mad I swear. It's just that it's dumb to put urine in breakfast cereal" reaction

I bought a custom avatar for someone once when I was manic, to deal what I'm sure was a sick burn only in my addled head at the time. I consider that upkeep for my forums use. Buying petty poo poo is what makes this site great.

I think game of thrones spoilers are a pretty miniscule aspect of GBS or SA as a whole. Like, so small that of all the potential problems one might have, it seems like a waste of energy to zero in on them.

Have trolling standards dropped so far that the best people can muster is a minor inconvenience, where the gotcha moment is when the victim declares "Well that wasn't very nice."?

"I like to see people react to things they dislike with a measured/tepid response" is an odd way to try to justify things, in times gone by people generally wanted to see meltdowns for their efforts.

I don't know what internet wasteland you learned to troll on but it's about minimum effort versus maximum response. Someone just had to watch that retarded show and post a thread with spoilers in the title and people are still being triggered by it months later, which is pretty effective even discounting all the rage in the threads themselves
