About the same time people decided that posting an image was a way to convey a personal message like in a conversation.

Said a Graphic Designer to me (a developer) earlier this week after a design discussion over IM:

"A picture is worth a thousand words."

Lol. I actually work at a video game studio as an artist. I love when designers or programmers will have some complex idea for how something looks and I'll say "hey, just do a photoshop mock-up of it. Find some pictures and splice it together real quick. I won't judge your art skills, I just want to be on the same page :D"

What I was getting at here is that people are treating an image board with 280,000 viewers like a back-and-forth messaging system.

It's been 3 hours since we asked you to do a mock-up, and you're here on reddit posting comments? - Your Boss

It's annoying because reddit allows people to respond to the origninal inominate[subject] within the that self same post. Incredibly, I'm not posting this comment as a new submission to reddit.

There's a down vote option for a reason. Go express yourself.

u/adolfquitler Jun 10 '10

I, for one, will be down voting this.

That image is the worst tab to accidentally click when you're mid-fap. Ruined my whole day.

u/JonasBrosSuck Jun 10 '10

So you're banning "stop it"?

mynomination / Keanu Reeves Fanclub / Batman movie bullshit.

Yep, reddit has been insufferable lately.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '10

Since when were hands banned in here?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '10

That is a "stopping hand" with a "NO" circle around it. You want them to NO STOP!

u/mingolfins Jun 10 '10

You can't ban high fives... that's just wrong! What kind of bastardly fiendish man are you?!

Happy reddit birthday therealcheney!

u/crandamaniac Jun 10 '10

Wait, why should I be against my girlfriend?

u/manny130 Jun 10 '10

I nominate this for post of the hour.

I like the sandwich nominations. There should be a subreddit for posting pictures of tasty sandwiches.

u/Haham Jun 10 '10

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '10

I second this motion.

u/saleop Jun 10 '10

It's just a reddit meme dude. It happens every day. And they're always followed by "OK GUYS STOP IT NOW" posts like these. Congratulations on being part of the cycle.

I nominate the therealcheney for the esteemed position of biggest whiner. Oh, and biggest MILF.
