I distinctly remember Tal warning you about these worthless posts of yours that you keep making

Can't I share some happy news? And he meant the flaming.

Look again, he wrote it in bold.

"you two [You and Skull] are among the biggest sources of worthless posts and senseless insults this community has ever seen."

Emphasis on "worthless posts".

My credit card expires next week. I'm not going to post about it on this board because it's inconsequential, irrelevant, and nobody cares.

Dude, I actually get Tal's post, I really do. But you, Toast, are just taking it to the dumb level now. There are much worse threads out there. Doodler was happy enough to tell us he got a debit card. Can't you just share his joy? Or would you rather have him post "STAFF ARE IDIOTS SO IS YOU!" threads? Huh? This is the kinda banana thread, in my opinion, that is acceptable.

Also, cool, Doodler.

Thanks.
I get really ashamed when somebody mentions the "STAFF ARE IDIOTS SO IS YOU!" thread.
But still. Let's celebrate!

No because it's worthless, uninteresting, and irrelevant information.

I think it's terrible that you would encourage rampant shitposting.

What? We post something about our life and that's shootposting?
Always wondered why there was no swear filter on toasty.

I understand your point, Yeolde, but you're taking it slightly too far. If he ain't allowed to post something like this, then that means most people here aren't allowed to post most things.

Tal meant posts such as... well, he pretty much listed them in his thread. He didn't say anything about these kinda threads.

There's a reason here are off-topic threads here. To post something NON-Dink related. If someone is gonna post something non-Dink related, it usually has SOMETHING to do with that persons life. Whehter it's finding a good website, having drawn a picture, graduating from school or getting a debit card. Nobody would have this problem if this thread would have been posted by someone else. Nor would anyone dare side with Yeolde, if what I said had been posted by a staff member.

It's not any less useful thread than this or this.

Really, this thread just goes to prove that it's rather obvious not me, nor DinkDoodler, are the ones making this website hard to bear.

Thanks, Skull.
Off-topic means off-topic. Like, when SabreTrout posted his fighting-game thread, or when Kerrek made those annoying threads which made no sense, nobody called it shootposting.

Honestly, I don't think Kerrek has posted annoying threads at all. And speaking of SabreTrout, there was a similar case to this thread a few months back, and SabreTrout seemed to be less than flattered about those people who called the thread "shootposting".

I'm gonna let Tal decide whether he thinks this is a shootpost thread or not, but as far I go, I don't think there's nothing wrong with this thread, nor does it break any of Tal's "rules"/"wishes" he gave us.

Alright now I'm a little confused. I think these debit cards take away money from our bank accounts when we purchase something only, right?
This does not put me in debt like credit cards, right?
Just a question, since the guide only mentions spending limits and nothing else.

I'm with Skull and DinkDoodler. People should be able to share off-topic things they're excited about.

And debit cards don't put you in debt unless you overdraw your account.

The Dink Network has always been home to ridiculous topics. This isn't really any different. There may not be anybody very excited about DinkDoodler's acquisition of a debit card, but sure, let him tell us. If we don't care, we won't reply.

Threads will merit closing when:
a) They become overwhelmed with flames or spam posts ("spam" in this particular case defined as a post that I sincerely think would hold no interest to anybody at all, such as a post with a hundred lols)
b) They begin with a derogatory subject and/or post
c) A user or group of users fill the board with tons of threads like this (too many and I'll direct you to Twitter )

So now that that's outta the way, congrats on your debit card, Doodler!

The letters d,e,b,t in debit card are rather ominous, though. I think I'll spend only after checking my account. Don't want no trouble.

You can only spend the money you already have with a debit card did you mean credit card. Even so it should just say insufficient funds.

You can actually go over your balance with Visa Debit... I don't know what happens if you do, though. Likely it acts just like a regular credit card in that case.

My bank has a program that covers the amount you overdraw with funds from a credit card, if you have one. So you might want to see if you can get something like that.

That's a shame.

All this time I was under the impression that this site was actually my personal fan club.

I'm devastated to learn that it isn't.

Also if you overdraw you'll be hit with large fees and possibly bad credit history.

I had a really funny dream that I went to the ATM and withdrew some money but instead a packet of raiwarrian fell out of it and my card got stuck.

I think this is a pretty much normal thread on the DN. The related discussion isn't though, as it has gone out of hand.
