Claiming - what's the point?

[Drail]

I think I'm missing something - what's the point of claiming in the 'comments' section of articles, blogs, and news stuff? I mean - you didn't do anything.

Would you claim a speed check on a jump?

YEA BOIY!!!!!! 3RD!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

 

[lamp]

no man but seriously i agree with you

 

[Aseets]

Yeah I don't even now how that started, if I have a chance of taking first I take it and don't claim and just post legit stuff. Claiming is stupid in the comments and it just takes up space

 

[BillyGoatMan]

i dont do it. but is it relly that annoying??

 

[Drail]

sorry - i was not aware that there were already threads about the subject at hand, please don't hate me.

and it's not that it's very annoying, I just find that any content that is completely pointless to be... well, pointless.

I mean, I could start doing pointless shit too, but how would I be helping the world?

 

[scratchskier170]
