The only way to stop sig whoring - GoFuckYourself.com

eroswebmaster · 02-12-2004, 08:59 AM

Is you gotta learn not to click on their threads.

Seriously you guys hate the whole sig whoring aspect of this board...however right now sig whore's oj thread has a 1:30 ratio.

that's 1 reply for 30 views.

My threads at most get like 1 reply per 10 views if I'm lucky.

Don't even click on it...don't respond let the thread drop off of the front page and pretty soon people will realize they have to at least offer up viable subjects in order to get read.

But it's not like you guys are gonna follow this...every day gfy proves how easily a guy like Bush can get elected president.

Sig Whores have no lifes... we do

Mike-BP · 02-12-2004, 09:04 AM

Everyone should just disable sigs, I have mine turned off so I don't see all those crap banners - if everyone disables them, program owners won't be able to pay much money to the whores = problem solved = GFY fun surfing again

And it also makes surfing the board MUCH faster

wow 380 views to 1 post saying he's ignored

he must feel like a popular sig whore now

While I understand what you are saying. I think sigs provide a valuable service.

I make money off of my sig...it goes to my portfolio.

I've established some good clients because of it and would hate to get to a point where people ignore sigs entirely while surfing the board.

LOL exactly...he's justified whether he gets a response or not...and now will continue to post utter nonsense.

NinjaSteve · 02-12-2004, 09:13 AM

If a "sigwhore" is bothering you, you could always just put them on ignore. That way sigs are still enabled.

Yep but still do not click on their thread because it just defeats the purpose

Ash@phpFX · 02-12-2004, 09:20 AM

my sig gets me lots of enquiries too, so i dont mind sigs for that reason

SomeCreep · 02-12-2004, 09:20 AM

1 liners and smileys here and there from people boosting their post count dont bother me, but when someone starts a shitty thread every 5 minutes, they deserve to get banned. In the meantime...

Sorry... but....

BobChezule · 02-12-2004, 09:22 AM

I don't really find it that difficult to ignore the sigs, and to ignore the sig whore posts and topics. Personally, if someone can make money from posting to a message then who am I to stop them?

Maru · 02-12-2004, 09:26 AM

OK, so "Sig Whore" makes a new thread with the title "MORE BREAKING NEWS: OJ Simpson... " and gets 2 answers and 431 views??

Something ain't right here....

I don't fault anyone for makinga buck...there are guys who earn their sig views here...even without the fake drama.

But I am pointing out a simple fact for those who hate the sig whores...they defeat their purpose when they click on their thread just to tell them that they are being ignored.

fuelcell · 02-12-2004, 09:34 AM

or you can just click on some smokey the bear link you know you shoulda ignored and find sigwhore and a few others suddenly on your ignore list

yeah, it's called F5

if I paid my bills by selling my sig, I'd train a monky to hit F5 5000 times a day

GFY is like a crappy vote script with the views - you can't trust it. Views can be artifically enhanced too easily. It is like a shitty TGP bombing you with hitbot traffic.

empty calories
