    This is fantastic. When Stewart38 posts a message I can ususally recognise that there are some english words in there but cannot find a coherant sentance. I am sure he is saying somethig but I cannot understand what it is.

    BUT...I did understand what he posted above.

    Interesting? On a thread about being tedious? Isn't that against the rules?

    But, mmmm, that....

    No, no, that would be Cruel. And Franck'd never go for it, more to the point.

    Surely the true TEDIUM CHAMPION is one who has posted loads and no one has noticed.

    Therefore a poster with the lowest reputation points to posts ratio should scientifically be crowned the CHAMP.

    I would work out the ratios for those mentioned on the poll but it really is far too tedious.




    Those that use large coloured letters to emphasise their point should also be considered.

    Moderators could you please re-title this thread because Mr Andy McGregor has an unfair advantage of publicity which others in the poll haven't.

    .
    Well assuming that the 'reputation total' does in fact represent positive rep, the ratios are as follows:

    Andy Mc - 4.4627
    DS - 4.2569
    Raul - 2.1428
    WF - 9.2707
    Gadget - 4.1052
    Franck - 1.9577
    Rocky - 1.900
    MH - 2.1627
    Stew38 - 3.5026
    WB - 2.2728
    DJ - 3.1284

    For the thickies amongst you, in the way that I have calculated it, the lowest scores represent the people with most positive rep per post. On this basis by far the most tedious person on the forum (as listed above) is WoodFace. Fighting for second place are Andy and DS and the most loved person from the list is in fact..... me (of course).

    No surprise there really.. so you can all stick your pipes up your sweaty ars*es and smoke them - of course you can only do that in a public place until the 1st of July. Old shag anyone?

    careful there... rep count can move up, as well as down... as I'm sure you're well aware

    Whhoooo It's me.


    Actually should be done on a per word basis as I post quite abit in the song title thread and others like that, whilst Andy, DS and others ramble on about nothing half the time.

    I suggest whoever comes up with a calculation of number of words posted / rep count for the members listed above (as a minimum) is crowned Forum Tedious King.

    After comments about DF on aerials, I-can't-remember-who on spinning, and Amir on musicality (was it, or am I getting over-enthousiactic here?) , this is another classic Woodism. Love it

    Is somebody keeping track of them, may be we could have a thread of them ? (which to be fair doesn't need to be restricted to WF...).

    To be fair WF as most people don't 'get' you on here you do get more than your fair share of Neg rep which counts against your Positive rep total. So I think we should take you out of the running as you are often delibrately provocative.

    As a matter of extreme tedium, on a very quick trawl through the member list, do you know who appears to have the highest positive rep per post?
    It's my old mate SF, The Rummaging Ramekin! I do think that that there will be an investigation though in the matter of a 'Positive rep in exchange for pony feeding' scandal...

    Dont tempt DJ....

    Let me defend myself here (something I have to do far too often )

    Not everyone knows who DF is. You go to any modern jive venue and ask around you will be lucky if one person knows him.

    2) the spinning thing was Andy telling me im rubbish at dancing because I dont spot (I hadn't met Andy at this point so he didn't know any better)

    3) I think you got carried away

    Yup and 90% of those neg reps come from the other people on the list. Conspiracy thinks me.

    Anyway, some of the best arguments and threads have been down to me. That can't make me tedious.

    on the top of my head, I can think of at least 2 forumites with a better ratio, i.e. CeeCee (impressive ), and Amir... there may be others...

    starting to be tedious myself here, time to get out of this thread and back to work

    0.53 and 0.23 respectively.

    I can't believe I'm playing this game...

    Re: Who is the most "tedious" poster?

    Ah but there are people out there who just give some people rep because they are who they are. I.E. if Amir said all beginners should be shot, DJ would agree and, possibly, give him rep.

    Same as if Nigel A was on the forum, Andy Would be giving him rep for everything he says.
