If your thread title is "Why is the sky blue?" and your content is "Well why is it?" then I am alerting Mod Central.

You absolutely should be alerting that

Cookies need to be changed to white chip macadania though!!

I'd prefer peanut butter cups. The big ones, not the little "bite-sized" ones.

I don't get those cookies....but we should tell the baker....and maybe add some coconut as well

I bought some white chip macadamia myself last week.....ummmmmmmm!!!!!

This rant is satirical and makes the point.

a reply to: WakeUpBeer

Yeah, and I get that people get bored or whatever and post to the extreme minimal posts.
But if those posts are off topic and/or derailing it doesn't really help.
It gives the thread traction....and it seems to me those posts should be avoided in favor of alerting staff.

Did I just step into the twilight zone or is it...

[Inserts random comment vaguely related to the OP that appears to be anecdotal and happened long ago but is witty, pertinent, concise and eloquent in nature while straying ever-so-slightly from the path in order to ingratiate and entertain the readers leaving little or no possibility for retort]

I'm really not a big fan of cookies either. I'd rather get a meatball sub when alerting mods.

If we're talking ANYTHING, then I want a Lamborghini every time I alert the mods. Hell, I would alert the mods because my screen needed cleaning

a reply to: NarcolepticBuddha

Too messy for me, not that it isn't delicious!

I could go for a classic American Club...

Oh man haven't had a decent one of those in a couple years.

Mmmmm

The fact that we don't is a clear sign of oppression.

No napkins. No milk. Not so much as a howdy-do!

It's just wham, bam, here's your cookie, now go!

a reply to: TerryDon79

Frisland had the best cookies.

a reply to: NarcolepticBuddha

I eat a lot of cookies.

All I can really say to that is..

If ATS gave me the very specific type of cookie I have in mind atm...

I'd work really, really hard... at first.

Er , OK.
So we've established click bait works.

More than that, it's allowed in droves!

My favorite is the long rambling post ... then the member disappears from the thread entirely.
