Bulletin Overdose

When I'm bored and have nothing better to do than surf the net aimlessly, one of the ports-of-call would be my Friendster account. In the past few months there has been one thing that got my attention and that was what the person intended to get, attention from people. It wasn't as though she infested the inbox with tons of messages but the bulletins were definately clogged up by this person. Another thing about the bulletins is the double, and sometimes triple, posting of people's little "newsflash".

Let me continue to grumble about the Bulletin Board Hogger (BBH). This person is running for president of a committee and is trying to garner votes for themself as well as the team. BBH would mass-post the same message with different titles, sometimes even twice in a day. When I checked the whole lists of bulletins posted, it shows that 7 out of 8 are by BBH. If there was anything that I should take note of, the real important informative post would've been lost in that sea of vote-garnering posts. Honestly I feel bad for the people who are friends of BBH, her team as well as the team(s) they are against. Imagine a whole week of posts would be a whole string of repeated "Vote For Me" messages with different titles... all in the hope that one title might make u interested enough to open it up and finally vote for them. If I was really in that situation, I would run for president, put out 1 post and say "Vote For Me so I can Shut Them UP!"

Second bit about repeat offenders who are rather an odd bunch. I don't know if they're lazy or just plain stupid, or maybe both. I understand that there are times when the internet and some sites have problems functioning and we end up sending the same message multiple times. Sometimes we post something and it doesn't show up within the hour or sometimes within the day, but then after you repost it, two will end up showing on the board. This isn't the same case for BBH though, that one has different titles. Anyway, when you do realise that your little post has gone up 3 times because of the glitch, why can't you just delete the repeats? The button to delete is right there, just click and it's all gone. Saves everyone from scrolling along looking past multiple posts and thinking what an idiot you are.

Worst of them all would be the person to shoot blanks and not bother. It's bad enough that you post the same thing 3 times, it makes you a total block-head to post it with nothing inside. Once again, point cursor at "Delete" and click. Then just click "Yes" to delete the useless, space-hogging, no-good-for-anything post.
