I've also gotten PMs asking if I'm Richard Roundtree.

lionel - At first I thought it might be Pele too.
Then I saw that it clearly wasn't and I've just been content to live in the world of "Who the F is that guy?" and pretty much be done with it.


metsandfins and everyone else - I actually agree with the original sentiment to a certain extent.
But I don't think there was leveling going on in the 'sidebar expanding' thread.
I made a joke and a couple others made jokes too. Didn't know the answer and saw an opportunity for a crappy joke that nobody would be leveled by certainly.

Couple others have said they experienced the same sidebar issues. Don't know if that was leveling or not.

In other words: I don't think that saying, "that's what she said" or "It was Bears!!!" technically qualifies as a level since nobody could realistically misinterpret such responses as being actual answers.

Heh thanks for the links, Stevie G. What's funny is that one site lists him at Earl Henry while calling him Henry Earl? The peril of having two first names I guess.

Now that this mystery is behind me, I can move on to finding out about Alobar and Aloysius' usernames, because I have no idea and they won't tell me.

You mean you don't know? Oh, dude ......

We have enough mods, so I don't see that changing anytime soon.

haha, I was just thinking after once again reading a "level?" post that is the one thing I really can't stand about these forums. I'm sure I don't understand it entirely but it appears to be nothing more than either another term for "are you being sarcastic" which I guess means either the person posting sucks at sarcasm or you (the person making the level post) suck at understanding sarcasm either way just say, hey you suck at sarcasm or be quiet about not getting sarcasm. Or its just a lazy and unoriginal way to say you disagree with a post, or think its dumb. Again just post that instead of using the same god damned punchline again and again at least in the sports forum please.

WTF does that mean? Do you even know or are you just to scared to go against the popular the trend and flat out say it sucks? If the next guy is me I assure you I do not love leveling.

it's appropriate in BBV4life, maybe in OOT. sometimes it's okay in POG. It sucks in ATF, Beginers, and strategy forums where people are looking for a legitimate answer

You know it just occurred to me we are discussing two different things. You are against the actual posts which "level" ie mislead or are smart assed where as I am against the post which literally say thing like "level??" or "LOLevel" and so on.

No [censored], this is far and away my most hated 2+2ism. Why did we need to invent a whole series of words that just mean "deadpan sarcasm"

You could use the word "trolling", but then you'd each owe me 5 cent (US) each time you used it.
I invented "trolling" and thus trademarked its use on the World Wide Web.

true

Outstanding level

If people allow themselves to get leveled by the oh so highbrow humor in most of these threads, they're too dumb to be of much value to 2p2 in the first place.

got me

I always feel really dumb after I make a leveling/completely useless/semi abusive post and realise I was browsing the beginners forum, and I'm just being an ass.

I agree. Unfortunately i was away this weekend and wasn't able to police the leveling as much as i normally do.

ok that made me laugh

so because they are too dumb to be of value they deserve to leave. Nice, you're the best dids

it's ok in OOT if you want to get banned, sure

NT! -
Huh? Because leveling never takes place in OOT?

only friends of NT can level in OOT ldo

I took it to mean NT! means one word posts like: "Level?" Are not allowed in OOT, not that leveling does not go on in OOT. There are two different things being discussed in this thread and people aren't realizing they're debating over two different things.

i'm not debating anything, the phrase 'leveled' is lame, and using it in OOT is a bad idea. i didn't see anyone disagree with me when i said it's a lame phrase, because i am obviously right and anyone who disagrees with me would be a ******.

ok that makes sense. you cant say level or * or anything like that in OOT i know that.
