Do I want to know?

[Commander Suzdal]

This may be the dumbest question ever, but aim high, I always say!

The Rules are firmly against Thread Hijacking and Thread Crapping. The first I can understand, even in face-to-face conversations it's easy to have a thought and go off on a tangent. But what is considered thread crapping? If it was just posting off-topic, that would be thread hijacking, so I guess that's not it. Is it dissing the topic of the thread, or dissing the OP, or what?

Just want to make sure I don't ever get in trouble for doing it, whatever it is. I get myself into deep crap enough already...

Thread crapping is posting useless and rude stuff in a thread.

For example, if you start a thread saying "My Xbox 360 is overheating, what can I do about it?" and I reply with "zomg Xbox 360 sucks, why didn't you wait for PS3??" That's thread crapping.

Dude, what a stupid question.



^^^That is also thread crapping.

 

[lithium726]

an inflamatory remark loosly tied to the topic of the thread or directed towards any one member in an attacking or insulting fashion.

 

[Aelfgeft]

Dude, what a stupid question.



^^^That is also thread crapping.

LOL




^^^Replying to thread crapping with inane comments is also thread crapping

Thread crapping:

"Hi, I'm trying to buy a new AMD computer"
"Zomg AMD sux buy cyrix"


That sort of stuff

For Sale Threadcrapping is easy....

saying anything that potentially decreases the value of what is being sold. I hate this type of TCing.

 

[Team Obi Juan]

"Hi, I'm selling this 6600gt for $100"


"6600gt is teh sux. your asking to much"


^^^ That's a classic for sale thread crap. Note the poor grammar. You'll be able to spot them a mile away!

I think there've been enough examples given for the OP to get the idea.
