odd comments on video threads...

[8oclockcoffee]

Okay, we're supposed to use the 'thanks' button rather than clutter threads with one or two word posts, but I realize not everyone reads the forum guidelines (even though we're all supposed to as a small condition for using this terrific place!).

The odd thing is that the few posts of this type on my threads are by people who haven't even downloaded my files. How do I know? Because I use the 'hide' feature for my links to try to keep them active as long as possible, and these people haven't clicked thanks on a single post. And they are 'virgins' not SuperVIPs or moderators, so they don't have forum privileges that allow them to see hidden posts without clicking thanks first.

One even posted:

this is like a dream thread come true!

At first I thought "how cool, I have a fan with the same tastes in porn that I have" so I took a quick look through my thread to see which videos he may have downloaded...and the answer was NONE!

I guess my thread was a bad dream come true, because he didn't actually want any of my uploads! :rofl:

Sorry if it seems like I'm picking on the guy, and maybe he plans to download some of the clips later and just hasn't had a chance yet (maybe he's at work and has to wait 'til he gets home?).

What is the point of these little drive-by 'spam' posts? They actually seem pretty common as I go through various megathreads on the forum.

Well with the recent problems with some filehosts it could be that some members will take several frustrating days before they get a successful d/load... or it might be new members loosing their posting virginity with a random first post... or just as likely they are spamming... but hey, what ya gonna do?

And I know your profile states Sin City... but I wanted to post this anyway... sorry about the appearance of Bono:devil: at about 5 mins, but you cannot have everything... I mean, where would you keep it?
