But . . . but . . . I AM Da Pickle Monsta . . . :cry:

Seriously, though, thank you. Nobody wants to read posts by people who think think it's funny to be a Teletubby or something.
 
GEORGE BRETT SMASH PUNY NULL! GEORGE BRETT STRONGEST THERE IS!!!!!!

Seriously though, I'm guessing that it was that Mother Goose in the fire thread that put it over the edge?
 
That, followed up almost immediately the next day with someone pretending to be an anime character. Like, seriously. Take meds or something.
 
I don't really care much about gimmick posters. But if other people have a problem with it I suppose it couldn't hurt to abolish it.

How am I supposed to be a cute anime girl now if it's against the rules?

Nobody would ever buy into it anyway.
 
Null dijo:
Please do not take on the personality of another character, fictional or otherwise, when posting. It's really annoying and nobody fucking cares.

Hulk Hogan is unaffected by this rule because he is actually Hulk Hogan.


Edit: Look, this is to weed out annoyances. No gimmick post is ever appreciated, but can be funny given the proper circumstances. If you are spamming the forum with unfunny shit because of a gimmick, you'll be banned. If nobody cares or you post so infrequently it is a non-issue, you won't be.

Also, if you're just named after something, that's not a problem. It's the content of the messages and how shit they are that's the cause of concern.

Dreams to come true, thank you Null.

Oh well. There goes my favourite Tommy Wiseau posts.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to push that official again and insult Manuel Pellegrini for being a fucking old cunt. :ween:
 
FWOOOOOOOSH BYEW BYEW BYEW PING PING FWOOOSH ZYEW ZYEW ZYEW ZY-oh wait, I can't pretend I'm a fictional spaceship anymore? Laaaame.

Seriously though, I'm glad to see this. One or two occasional gimmick posters is fine, but anything more than that and it gets annoying.
 
I did start noticing a lot of characters showing up but at least most didn't role play that character.

I also see the irony since my screen name is Zim.
 
When I made my profile, I was tempted to act like I was actually Ziltoid the Omniscient, but It's not really something a whole lot of people would understand humor-wise and It would probably annoy many people (hence the need for this thread). I just made my profile because I'm a fan of Devin Townsend and the album the character comes from.
 
Are gimmick posters allowed on the off chance they are actually funny?

I hate to see Tommy Wiseau go
 
Lets make it clear though, if a persons user name and picture, is of a fictional character, that doesn't automatically mean they are a gimmick poster. It depends on the content of the users posts, for example, Mr. 0 doesn't actually post as if he is that One Piece character. Even when his pic and name matched he wasn't like, "Chris is an idiot, he is dumber then Luffy and Ussop, who I fought at Alabasta!"
 
How about religious figures, deities and historical dictators? |:(
 
I was h-happy in the haze of dose g-gimmick p-p-po-TWOLLS
But H-Heaven knows I'm m-mis-misew-sad now.
 
VENU-VENUSAUR!!

Ahem. Anyway, I seriously didn't mind gimmick posters. I think we had somebody being "M'aiq the Liar" in one of the older incarnations of the forums, and of course there's the Hulkster. The problem has been the sudden influx of gimmick posters that you just can't get through their posts because "god dammit, just write normally".

So yeah, props for this Null.

PS. JeffGoldblumIRL, I never had a problem with your posts. It's cool!
 
I think there's some confusion between gimmick accounts and gimmick posting. A grand amount of the users here have character-based account names. As long as you're not posting shit AS that character then I dont think you really need to qualify or explain yourself here.
