The over-eager forum jockey

A big problem with a lot of the forums I go to is the Over-eager Forum Jockey. Sometimes he comes in the form of that fucker who responds first to a new _______ and the only thing they bothered to add to the thread was "1st". Sometimes it's the ever present fathead who wants you to use the search function, even though your question has never been answered on that forum before. There's the Product Fanboy, who will suggest you switch to product X, no matter what OP was talking about in reference to product y.

Now how for how this relates to me:
Yesterday I made a signature image for somebody who requested sprites of Samus and Ripley be included. I went over to The Spriters Resource, got the sprites I wanted, posted the end picture, and posted who had ripped the sprites. Immediately afterwards somebody came in the thread and started telling me to do things I'd already done, such as put the guys name in the image, add a background, and offered to find samus/ridley sprites for me. Thanks buddy, I've got source images on lock here already, couldn't you tell from me crediting the sprite rippers? He did have one useful suggestion, which was to make it bigger.

Now, this isn't to say I'm above this myself. I'll make shit people didn't ask for because I liberally apply artistic license. You wanted thing A? It sucks and will never work how you imagined. Here's thing B, take it or leave it, it's my vision of what you want.

:lol: That was good for a chuckle.

GBAtemp has a few less of the members you describe, but they are still around.

Luckily, the mods do a good job here, and don't put up with the "first" crap, or useless posts in general.

Awesome ava btw.
 
Aah, lol. This was good. I think I'll add to the word doc of useful things I've found on the I-net and will eventually print. Thanks. I have to watch some of those things in myself as I tend to type-talk ALOT to compensate for my quiet self in the real world I suppose...

Edit:

Oh and I agree, you sig and avatar is awesome :D

We deal very harshly with people like that here. :(
If you look closely, you can still see some of the torture marks left on me.
