There is a fine line between gimmick posting and role play. If you've made 500 posts in one month as Klaatu with constant rants about how Chris and Barb are blights upon universal existence and "Sonichu barada nikto" yadda yadda yadda, then you've long passed the point of being a gimmick and are now role playing every single discussion. In which case, I'd advise you to make a normal account and join in on the discussion OOC.

A gimmick post is a cheeky, off-topic interruption that neither serves to make a point nor derail a thread. If done in moderation, I have no problem with it. Personally, I've found some gimmick posters help lighten the mood a bit when a discussion drags on and on without going anywhere and every single post is a serious TL;DR deconstruction of Chris's life and every opinion posted on the last 100 pages.

And Hulk Hogan isn't role playing or gimmick posting - he's the Real American Hero himself.

Agreed. In the most evil people in history thread Stalin was like "I guess it's me" which is fine and Hitler acts like hitler occasionally. I think what got under a lot of people's skin was using mannerisms instead of talking like a normal person, like WhiteKnight's first few post were in Renaissance talk. When people told him to stop he did.
Which brings me to something OT but it should be said, I've seen this generally. When a mod tells you to stop doing something, stop. I've seen a few people banned now because they were asked to stop doing something and either argued or ignored the warnings. WhiteKnight was told to knock the ween shit off and then sent some creepy PMs out to other users. He got banned because he didn't listen to Surtur and Brook. In the don't troll Chris thread some user argued with Brook and got banned. It doesn't really matter if you agree with the mods and admins or not. They can Bann you, so just do what they say.
 
Gimmick posters are one of those things that are like, funny when their funny, but annoying and painful when they aren't.
 
RIP Ma'iq the Liar, who was only on the last board like 2 years ago anyway.

And attracted all sorts of furry porn from punchabunch. That was fun.

Glad to see this rule here. Sometimes a parody account can be funny, but most of the time it ends up like Twitter, where I swear every other account these days is a parody Dalek.
