[QUOTE="FrigidFTSup, post: 2137435, member: 58894"] I can see both sides honestly. And I say this as someone who is probably grouped into that "annoying" category. On one hand I look at this site as an escape. We all work long hours. UPS isn't the touchy feely kind of place that most people seem to work. It's probably the one place outside of our buildings where there is a group of people who understand what working at UPS is really like. I don't see anything wrong with blowing off some steam and having fun. We don't exactly get to have fun at work. But here, we can kind of let go. There is nothing wrong with that. I think sometimes we have so many rules and methods at UPS that we get robotic, having it be a little loose is a good thing. On the other hand I can kind of see the frustration of going into a thread you may be interested in and having it be completely off topic. But, how many threads in this situation are truly new? Most of the threads I see that get blown off topic almost immediately are the same ones we've seen 1000 times. Socks, Orion, 9.5 list etc. The others are troll threads. The necroposts I'm on the edge about. It can be frustrating, but we should encourage the use of the search feature because it helps eliminate those double threads. There just has to be a balance. But at the same time we also have to remember one thing. Nobody is forcing any of us to post here. We all find different things funny or interesting. There are some popular members I can't stand, and they can't stand me. Everybody is different, and we need to recognize that. If you want a tailored experience to your liking, you have to tailor it yourself by using the ignore feature. I use it for a few trolls, and it makes the experience much more enjoyable. [/QUOTE]
