The "ok" Meme Needs to Die

[RossTaylorsBox]

Awww let 'em have their fun Spark, it's not like they can come up with any good jokes by themselves.

If only we had more moderation

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Let nature take its course

Memes come and go

It’s out there now that folks don’t enjoy it

Why am I posting like social

Forgot to mention that you had dinner with the guy who invented Internet memes.

Just like your face.

Yessssssss

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Man the jokes my face would come up with would be so bad.

"Isn't it ironic that I have two eyes but can't even see myself!!"

Okay so genuine question, what do people think our approach to examples like this http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/thr...cess-and-allowing-chucking.89579/post-4931584 should be? Because to me this is egregious, and actively discourages people from making serious contributions to discussions or starting interesting threads. Am I wrong, and this is just something I should lighten up about?

rare occasion i will ever say this (@GIMH put this in your pipe and smoke it), but while it's big weenie behaviour by Gob (who i do enjoy), i do not think it should be met with the hand of the authorities; @Howe_zat's response was a good one and seeing more of that from the community when the joke is ****ily made would be good and weed out the overuse imho

Never used it and never will. It lacks originality and demonstrates a shallowness of thought.

The day L&L uses it, is going to be devestating. I hope it isn't on me.

much like how one shouldn't be allowed to be dismissed first ball, the first reply should not be 'ok'

I agree it's eye roll worthy obv though I like Gob a lot as a poster.

The problem still is peak usage always comes after it was funny.

I don't think people should be infracted for it however. It would just be good if we moved on to either making funny posts or actually engaging with other people. It's a wider internet problem though. Everyone falls over themselves to be the first person to knock someone who tries.

this is very well put and all across the internet earnest posting is discouraged lest some irony poisoned turnip come along and make fun of you for daring to put effort in to your post

frankly, this is what happens when you give agency and power to the very small albeit very real portion of people who were bullied in high school because they were antisocial boors
