Well I wouldn't *smack* Ping down and say Ping's opinion is useless, it was had good reasons. There are other forums that have the same thought process, and there are forums that don't allow you to edit your post either so that you actually have to think before you post.
But since we've pretty much destroyed that here by allowing you to edit (which I do enjoy, and most people here add Edit, or mark where they've edited, some people don't...I don't always.) it would seem hey why not to 'delete a post'.
But I disagree, because if a whole bunch of us post on a post and really enjoy it, but the person who did it decides they don't like the way its going, deletes their post when nothing 'bad' was said...basically they're making it a priviledge for us to have an opinion to respond. I disagree, even though I've weanted to delete my posts many times, thats if no one or not many have responded after a long while, and you find it inactive and want to make it disappear and not wait for it to go to the bottom.
And many people assume Spammers don't have any kind of intelligence (even calling them idiots which just shows how smart 'they' themselves are.).
Some spammers are computers (not the ones we're talking about but worth mentioning), computers are very intelligent for the most part (smarter than the human who created it.), the other spammers and the sort, are generally people who do those things just for fun. Their form of annoying fun, its like the person who creates viruses and bugs for your computer. They enjoy it, its fun, they get a kick out of it. Just because we ourselves wouldn't find it fun, or it 'annoys' us personally... there are things many people find personally fun and enjoying which 'annoys' other people(crunching popcorn while you're trying to watch a movie, turning off all the lights vs. leaving them on, a baby that has colic in the elevator, a mother with children in public, and so on), and those people can and are easily deemed 'not smart enough', 'inept', or even 'dumb' based on the other persons perception.
As for spammers do they lack of intelligence just because they do what they do? On the contrary. Spammers wouldn't want to delete their post if they were spamming to get a rise out of you (and it is funny to see you guys go off responding in anger back and fourth, or even...arguing with someone who is being a 'dimrod' to get a rise out of you). If they deleted their posts frequently there wouldn't be a point in getting a rise out of a person, because they'd be cleaning up for us. Nor would they edit it, not because they're idiots...anyone with enough sense to know how to get on your nerves 'purposely' knows how to 'edit' or in this case 'not edit'.
And my definition of a Spammer isn't just repeating the same things over and over and over again, it includes people who say things repeatedly over and over to get rises out of you 'and' even respond back to you. People who use bright coloured texts repeatedly after you've asked them not to, *who talk 'lik dis, 2 b c00l, 4 u 28nght' and so on.
