Can someone please explain to me why when someone gets banned or closes their account there’s a thread set up with the stupid press f to pay respects?

They aren’t dead. You don’t know them. You read a few words on a screen once that some stranger typed. I mean really, why?

Wonder how long it might be for the idiots to turn up lol. Wonder if there will be anymore?

Wait no more. The village idiot is here. 

It's minimum effort and gets the poster points which they can't use for anything. A virtual fidget spinner.

Many thanks to the autobunny for the spam culture link (#4 above). I have seen the press f reply in several recent posting and have wondered what it meant. Now I know . . .  f  happy.png

Wish I was as clever as you. Do you know what auto correct is? Seems you are as dumb as your avatar looks
TheHarbingerOfDoom

its an epic gamer move. You wouldn't understand it.

Is it still epic if just anyone can do it? If he couldn't understand it, couldn't you also explain it to him? 

TheHarbingerOfDoom
Difficult to explain anything to those who know everything. Kids these days eh?

You're most welcome.  The older generation takes its references mostly from history,  songs and movies. The newer generation takes its references from games and social media and fleeting information that gets outdated so quickly that even they can't keep up with the lingo. So the only thing that remains is WUT???? 

TheHarbingerOfDoom
And I doubt he even knows what the word epic means lol

Sometimes you make friends on here and you feel sad when they get banned or close their account, even if you haven’t met them in real life. Like TinkleDink. We had a lot of fun with Italian food and I was sad when he left. Just cause you haven’t met them doesn’t mean you can’t pay respects when they leave, we know they’re not dead....maybe lol

Shouldn't respect require some effort? Or do we just f respect as well? 

NikolaiSpongnikov
You don’t have to press f if you don’t want to. It’s the internet, not a whole lot of effort is required anyways
TheHarbingerOfDoom
Sounds like the snowflake generation. We will do it if it doesn’t take any effort...

Let them go quietly in to the night, and pick up the phone or go meet someone you haven’t seen in a while because you spend too much time on here!lol

Their chess account is dead, people just trying to be respectful to the dead, virtualy at least

NikolaiSpongnikov
Lol what I meant Harbinger was that the internet doesn’t take much effort. Enough with the snowflake stuff. It seems like every generation rags on the one after it. It’s exhausting.
TheHarbingerOfDoom
Destroyer their account isn’t dead. They have found something better to do. What a nonsense.

f can be interrupted many ways...
